Post power on step - Execute command on recovered Windows vm fails

Hi,

For a Windows Server 2012 recovery plan, I was attempting to run a command on a recovered vm in the post power on step however even though it succeeds in VMware, nothing is run inside the virtual machine.

Scripts on Windows Server to recover:

- C:\srm\srm.bat (it basically echo's some text out to a log file)

- C:\srm\srm.cmd (it basically echo's some text out to a log file)

Post Power On Step I call the following scripts on the recovered vm:

1. C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c c:\srm\srm.bat

2. C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c c:\srm\srm.cmd

When I perform a test recovery no text is echo'd into the log files. It's like neither script is executed, ... is there any gotcha's or prerequisites with calling scripts on Windows via SRM?

Never mind, ... the log file was getting written to a different directory than what I was expecting.
