I logged in at the Witango server with the new service account. I went to the root folder of the site and was able to execute the bat file with no problems. So I would think that my permissions are set ok.
The bat file is located in the root directory. The External action is as follows: Type: Command Line Command: <@webroot>dir.bat Environment Variables: Name - PATH1, Value - <@var method$file_name> This worked fine before I changed the "Log On As" account for Witango. I could change it back, but I would not be able to use a separate DB server, so I would like to work through this if possible.

I changed the "Log On As" account for Witango from "Local System Account" to a new account, so that I could locate my databases on a different server. I gave Full Control permissions to root directory of the site, wiis.dll in the scripts directory, Witango folder under the Program Files folder. I located the DB's on another server, set permissions for the new account, and changed the ODBC connections. Everything works great except for one thing: When I use External actions, it is having trouble. The External actions are not referencing anything on the DB server. I have even reduced the .bat file the External action references to just a dir *.* I am getting the following error: [Application File] [47] /listingimages.tcf [External Action] [47] call_identify [Query] [48] C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\CatSite\dir.bat; Parameters: PATH1=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\CatSite\Sites\upnorth\Image\catimages\BuckKit.j pg; [External Action] [48] Forking process [Error] [48] -101 General error during data source operation. [Error] [48] -101 General error during data source operation. [External Action] [48] Complete Any ideas??
