Thank you both for the very comprehensible explanation. So I followed the steps awarnier suggested:
(0) stopped banging the head and had a good cup of coffee =) 1. Looked at the event logs ==> found nothing 2. Checked the option 'Interact with desktop' with the local system user ==> my batch finally did what I intended, but not the printing as no printers are known. But at least now I got a message telling me what's wrong. 3. switched to a domain user (same one that is used to logon and that is used on several other servers) ==> it is not possible to start any batch that uses a GUI as you can't check the option 'Interact with desktop' using another account. As awarnier suggested I've tried writing to a txt-file, and that works perfectly. So it's clear now the problem is starting the GUI-applications, and the program I use to print the pdf-files has a GUI (SumatraPdf). I'm using this alternative as Adobe Acrobat is opening windows each time it's printing a file, even from the commandline. Can I set the 'Interact with desktop' in another place? Or does someone has a solution to the problem with the GUI?
