<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Thank you for the reply. I have a bat file in the "<externalscriptlocation>" folder but it is not being executed. If I schedule it through the Windows
Task scheduler it does get executed. Is there something else I need to do in the xymon powershell to have it execute the bat file? It appears I’m missing something.
