<p>Is there a way to prompt users for input (ie: Yes/No) from a Windows batch script that works on XP and Windows 2003 server? It seems some commands (ie: choice) only work on one OS and not others.</p>

<p>Use the SET command with the /P switch.</p>

<pre class="prettyprint"><code>SET /P RESULT=Y or N? ECHO %RESULT% </code></pre>

Windows batch choice command for Windows XP & 2003

Use the SET command with the /P switch.
