app (a Bat file that runs the app) i cannot seem to find
any ref to it blocking it but if i turn off the protection
it runs fine....

Hi
Bat files and MSAS is something tricky.
I have this bat file for changing IP adress.

"new-ip.bat"
ipconfig /release
net stop "DHCP Client"
net start "DHCP Client"
ipconfig /renew
pause

If I run this from Windows Explorer, nothing from MSAS.
Run it with a shortcut on desktop, nothing from MSAS
Running a copy of this bat file on desktop, MSAS alerts.

So if you have your bat file within WE or a shortcut
on desktop nothing happens.
 
I don't know the answer, but it doesn't like DOS. I have
two W2K's that run DOS apps that I have had to re-format
the disks due to MS ASW. It corrupted the 16 bit DOS sub
system on both. I have removed it from all networked
stations that run any DOS applications. I just wanted to
let you know that you are on a slippery slope with this.
