Is there a particular error message you're getting? Your cfexecute call is just like running a dos shell from windows and entering cd \ to get to the root on your cf server, so any commands you're going to run will be relative from probably c:\ If you want to maintain the .bat file in a particular file structure instead of dropping it in the root, you'll have to execute it using an absolute file path, or add the path to the directory where it resides to your path declaration in your autoexec.bat
If both servers are on a network, it's possible you could create a mapped drive to the target/production server, run the cf server service as a user with rights to that mapped drive and use <cffile> to copy content to your target/production server. This would maintain your publishing application within CF without having to shell out to DOS. Of course, there's always cfftp and cfhttp although they're more involved solutions and require additional setup on your target server which may or may not be viable. hth S.
