Running a program from network location on Windows 7 from cmd
I have to run a configuration script on a number of computers that is stored on a network location. I run CMD as administrator and then run the command which looks something like this:
\serversoftware......config.exe
This works perfectly well on Windows Vista and Windows 8 computers with or without UAC activated but doesn't work on any of my Windows 7 computers (with and without UAC activated). I get "Access denied" when I try to run the command.
Why is this so and how can I run the command on Windows 7?

If you copy the config file locally to the machine does it work?

It is a whole environment, not just one file. If it was a single file I would have copied it locally and executed it. The file has to be run from its location on the server with a bunch of arguments.

Are you logging in as Administrator or a user which also has admin privileges. Win 7 has something called a 'Filtered Token' which can cause problems.

You can create a map network drive using net use command and then execute your program from the mapped network drive
e.g.,
c:> net use z: \serversoftware
c:> cd /d z:......
z:......> config.exe
