Problems with taskkill at T-12

[N1ckp]

I've been tweaking my unattended setup to get it "just right". I've had a couple of taskkill commands to close windows (winamp etc).

The last revision I've made seems to have stopped taskkill working at all. I can't figure out what I've done that would cause the problem, the only thing I've added is a silent install of Photoshop CS. I've also tried adding:

tasklist | more

pause

to look at the processes to kill to close the adobe activation screenn but this also wouldn't run. The error I get is pretty cryptic, "ERROR: Critical error". With tasklist not working I changed it to "start /wait cmd" so I could do a little poking around to try and figure out what was wrong. cmd.exe loaded with no problems, from the command window I could run "tasklist /?" and "taskkill /?" and it gave me all the switches etc as you would expect. Trying to run taskkill or tasklist with or without any switches returned the same error. (I also ran taskmgr.exe to get the process to kill to close the adobe activation while I was there).

The other error that has appeared is on the second line of my cmdline script. First few lines are the standard:

net user John asdf1234 /add

net localgroup Administrators John /add

net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited

The second line fails when it has worked with no problems every other time I've run the setup. I'm using VMWare to test the setup and these are the last few problems before I declare it finished!

Any help is greatly appreciated, if you need any more information, let me know. I'm at work at the moment and the exact lines are on my home machine, if needed I can add the scripts on here later when I get home.

Cheers

Hate to respond to my own posts, but I'm not having any luck with this and I've searched google/msfn and a few other sites quite extensively with no luck.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Nick
