Deploying Notes 8 upgrade with Batch file

Has anyone successfully deployed a Network based Notes 8 client upgrade using a Transform file being called by a batch file? I’m doing that and while the technical upgrade is successful, the smart upgrade database records it as an interrupted installation. All I have in the batch file is the MSIEXEC call. My issue is that I’ve got all versions of Notes, literally from 6.0.x to 8.0.1 and the only thing that will work consistently is calling the MSIEXEC from the batch file, but I need to use the Smart Upgrade Tracking database to keep up with the ~17k of client upgrades that will be going on.

Anyone seen this problem before? Any assistance?

Thanks.
