@Stuffandsht From what I see in your post you have done a fair amount of testing already. I too find it strange that running your script as SYSTEM works when running it manually but seems to not do the right thing when running it as a snapin.

For debugging I suggest you copy the djoin line and add echo in front of the first one to actually see the full command. As well add output redirection for stdout and stderr to the actual call:

... echo djoin ... >C:\temp\djoin_cmd.log djoin ... >C:\temp\djoin.log 2>C:\temp\djoin_err.log ...
