All, how come, when logged onto a server as the domain admin, I can not
execute any exe or batch files off a different machine? When I do, I get the
error: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may
not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

If its not an executable or batch file, the app opens fine. Any help would
be appreciated.

Hello Rob,

Add it to the trusted sites in Internet explorer.

Best regards

Directly opening executables or batch files as well as vbs(cript) and
friends is not allowed by the system by default. You need to put the
location from which you're attempting to access the file into the
"Trusted Sites".
