Hi Guys,

I am writing a module which will be executing any kind of shell commands related to active directory and other shell commands on a particular domain controller

Some of command are working but some of commands are not working properly. Here is the code

public static void ExecuteShellCommand(string _FileToExecute, string _CommandLine, ref string _outputMessage, ref string _errorMessage)
        {            
            System.Diagnostics.Process _Process = null;
            try
            {
                _Process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();

                string _CMDProcess = string.Format(System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, @"{0}\cmd.exe", new object[] { Environment.SystemDirectory });

                string _Arguments = string.Format(System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "{0}", new object[] { _FileToExecute });

                _Arguments = string.Format(" /C \"{0}\"", _Arguments);
                Console.WriteLine("---aruguments quering : cmd.exe" + _Arguments);                
                System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo _ProcessStartInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo(_CMDProcess, _Arguments);               
                _ProcessStartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;                
                _ProcessStartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;                
                _ProcessStartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
                _ProcessStartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
                _ProcessStartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
                _Process.StartInfo = _ProcessStartInfo;
                //_ProcessStartInfo.Domain = System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Domain.GetCurrentDomain().Name;

                _Process.Start();

                _errorMessage = _Process.StandardError.ReadToEnd();
                _Process.WaitForExit();

                _outputMessage = _Process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
                _Process.WaitForExit();
            }            
            catch (Exception _Exception)
            {                
                Console.WriteLine("Exception caught in process: {0}", _Exception.ToString());
            }
            finally
            {                
                _Process.Close();
                _Process.Dispose();
                _Process = null;
            }
        }

CommandExecutionEngine.ExecuteShellCommand("nltest", "/logon_query /server:india.cobra.net", ref output, ref error);
Console.WriteLine("output for dir : " + output + " error : " + error);

dcdiag /s:

command nltest executing but not returning any result. Where the other mentioned commands giving error is not recognized as internal or external command. Where if I execute command directly from console its working fine.

Here I am invoking a process under the context of domain administrator account so that I will not be have any permission issues.

Please suggest.
