Pre- and Post- Exec Commands on Windows Systems
This section describes how to implement pre- and post-exec commands
on Windows Cell Managers and clients.

exit code 0 to signify success or greater than 0 to signify a failure.
Carefully follow the implementation guidelines provided in this section.

account). They can be located in any directory.
For scripts located in the <Data_Protector_home>\bin directory and

scripts located in the <Data_Protector_home>\bin directory and
executed on the system other than Cell Manager, you must specify only
