shell commands via ASP

Ok,
I tested it in VB and returns nothing. Output is nothing.
I am using impersonation (as a domain admin).

Dim p As New Process
' #tells operating system not to use a shell;
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
'#allow me to capture stdout, i.e. results
p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
'Say DOS Command is [EXEPath] CONNECT anotherargument
p.StartInfo.Arguments = "CONNECT anotherargument"
p.StartInfo.FileName = "qwinsta.exe"
'#do not show MSDOS window
p.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
'#do it!
p.Start()
Dim _processID As System.Int32 = p.Id
'#capture results
Dim output As String = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd()
' this is the output from the
p.WaitForExit()
p.Close()
