Server Execution Failed

[ChristianDavies]

Hi All,

 

I have created an exam environment with a few different scripts including a VBS script that kills explorer.exe so students don't get the task bar and a command to open up an exe i have created. In the exe window i have a icon that is supposed to open up H:/ (home area) but when you click it I get "Server execution failed" after a few seconds of the command prompt hanging.

 

When I run the environment with explorer.exe running the links work fine and open the appropriate drive however as soon as explorer is killed it stops.

 

Does anyone know a way around this?

 

Any suggestions appreciated.

 

Many Thanks

Can you navigate to the mapped drive in cmd without Explorer.exe running?

Well... Access to the command prompt is disabled as its a student account however it can run scripts. I have icons that run vbscript commands (i.e)

 

Sub RunFolder Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")

objShell.Run "cmd /c start H:/"

End Sub

 

This works for everything else but it hangs on opening any drives

Don't know if the screenshot helps at all...
