XP Need help with batch script to delete files from Crypto\RSA\S-1-5-18 folder

[MrValentine]

OK first look at this MS kb.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822904
Look at step 4 of the Workaround. Try it on a XP SP3 fully patched box.
I cant even list the files at command line with DIR. (File not found)

The only way I can delete the file is to do so using explorer, and it does fix the orginal issue just like the kb says it should.
Anyone got any ideas? I have a few hundred machines to run this on, and doing it manually in the gui is not an option.

What's the issue? From the looks of it VSS is broke. I doubt the soulution you've listed is a fix since you won't be running DCpromo on a XP workstation. There's quite a few ways to rebuild your snapshot writers from scratch if they are broken.

Check this link out as it may pertain to your problem.

This is my exact issue.
http://networkadminkb.com/KB/a43/scheduled-task-error-0x8007000d-or-last-result-0x6.aspx

I created the task via batch script using schtasks. For some reason I have a large amount of PC's 20%+ that have the above issue.

I see what the issue is... the file resides in a system protected folder

create a batch file and copy everything\paste into batch file below the line you should be able to have the batch script run after log on.
