Hi,

Bonus points to Tye for suspecting that it was authentication related. (see below)

If you're interested, here's what I tried:

I tried intially stepping through various sleeps (from 1000 ms to 10000ms) to no avail. The script still did not connect.

I tried connecting using NET USE with the Domain Admin user and password and this did not work (though I suspect that I did something wrong with the command so we will leave that aside :)

If I managed to successfully embed the NET USE within the script, I will post the code here.

Finally I popped up a Command shell Running as Domain Administrator and tried the script. It connected successfully every time.

So thanks for all your help though we are still not left with any convincing reason for the original error.

Thanks

Kakaze
