[THIN] OT: Scripting Error

Ok guys and girls…slightly off topic, but something I’ve noticed with my cmd scripts when running from a UNC path…

 

Start the script off with SetLocal

 

End the script with EndLocal

 

After the EndLocal, the script returns the message “The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.”

 

If run from a local drive or a mapped drive, it runs without error.

 

----------------start of script------------

Setlocal

 

Echo This is a test

 

EndLocal

 

Pause

------------end of script---------------

 

The DisableUNCCheck registry value has been implemented, but does not seem to make a difference in relation to the issue.

 

It’s not a pressing issue, but it’s one of those things that’s doing my head in, as I cannot find anything on the web suggesting that what I am doing is wrong.

 

Has anyone else come across this?

 

Cheers.

 

Kind regards,

Jeremy Saunders
