that's a tough one, since the bat could be doing anything, and it's outside of SQL server.

you could open up Task Manager on the server, but the real question is what is the bat file doing? if it calls an application, and the application renders a gui, or raises a popup/confirm, it would hang forever.

we could probably identify the issue if you show us what the bat file is doing.

also there might be more than one way to do what the bat file is doing, so we might offer suggestions.

are you saying that the SQL agent job fails or is just slow?

could be a permissions issues on the folders......when you run it manually your credentials are used but when it runs automatically by SQL Agent, the agent's credentials and permissions are used.

so have you confirmed and verified that SQL agent has permissions on your network folder?
