   What result do you get when you run the batch that I snipped above?   
   You will get this format if WMIC is not locked down.   
      
   %stamp% is set to 2012-11-08-Thu_22-35-01 (yyyy-mm-dd-ddd_hh-mm-ss)

   Let us know how it goes - there is always powershell which might/might not be   
   locked down.
