    The conspiracy theory would suggest that it's deliberate.

    But in reality it could be so many things. Run the file manually to see if it is a batch file problem or an auto start one.
    I take it you are using an UNC name \\server\netlogon\script.bat

    you could also try a dotted ip as well \\192.168.0.1\share\batch.bat in case it is a name resolution problem.
