JP,

 To track down this problem, you might consider piping the output from the
command to a file and seeing if any information is saved there.  Another
forum member states that a rc=2 is a file not found message.  Perhaps you
should wrap the actual commands up in a couple of bat files with the entire
path included?  Note than in the example below the 2 different redirection
symbols are necessary to get both the stdout and stderr information.  If
the progam does not work the output will probably be in the post.err files.
 For example:

POST Command =
JP_POST.BAT > D:\ADSM\LOGS\POST.LOG 2>D:\ADSM\LOGS\POST.ERR

JP_POST.BAT =

REM ADSM Post processing Batch File
@echo Starting post processing Command
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\NET STOP "LOTUS NOTES SERVER"
@echo End of post processing batch file

Good luck,
  Dan T.
