If you want to view the results of the .bat file in the calling cf template, you can set a timeout and use the new variable attribute for cfexecute (starting in MX 6.1) or surround your cfexecute with cfsavecontent to capture the output if you are not using MX 6.1.

If you want the cf template to finish quickly you could always exclude
timeout value from cfexecute aswell, cf then won't wait for any console
output.
<cfexecute name="mybatchfile.bat" />
Should do the trick.
