Troubleshooting Code 80072020 - An operations error occurred Kindly sent in by Ian Godfrey
Introduction to error Code 80072020
This error code, 80072020 occurs when you execute a VBScript.
My suggestion is that It's a permissions problem, if possible, try running the script on the very server and not an XP machine.
Error messages beginning 8007xxxx mean there is an external problem with Windows rather
than syntax in the VBScript itself.
The Symptoms you get 80072020
The script does not execute as you hoped, instead you get a WSH error message.
The Cause of Code 80072020
Either the person running the script does not have permissions, or you are running the script from an XP workstation rather than the server itself.
The Solution
Logon to the Windows Server as the administrator.
