Thanks again, Daniel. I used timeout /t 30 in the script and that seemed
to allow the folder to be removed.
The only trick is that psexec did not like the timeout command ("input
redirection is not supported"). So I could not really test it out before
running it with ConfigMgr.
I appreciate the help!
