Only the fact that whomever I send it to has to change it. Trivial for us, but I'm betting someone will screw it up and call me :)
The %0\..\ is how you call an executable from a the same location as where the batch file is running if the batch file has been called via UNC. Most commonly seen in legacy logon batch files: @echo off %0\..\wkix.exe %0\..\Login.k2k As long as these two files are in the same folder that the script was called from, this will call WKIX.EXE and pass Login.k2k to WKIX.EXE. It won't care what domain controller the system has logged in to.

What don't you like about it? seems pretty straightforward to me. What's the %0 trick, btw. As far as I know, that just returns the name of the batch file.
