Is it possible to use KACE Device Actions to run .bat with prompts? K1000

I have a .bat file that streamlines using RPD mstsc with -shadow flag.  The shadow flag requires that the administrator knows the session id that they are trying to shadow.

The .bat file accepts a command line parameter for computer name that I would like to replace with KACE_HOST_NAME.   Then it prompts the admin for a user name and runs query  session against the host for that user.  The last prompt in the bat file is for the administrator to input the session ID they need to connect to.  Then the .bat combines it all into mstsc /v:%computer% /shadow:%session% /control  

The .bat file works great on its own but I would love to figure out how to add this as a KACE Device Action.

I tried: cmd.exe "{path to .bat} KACE_HOST_NAME"  but the command window just speeds through all lines without prompting.

I also tried it with cmd.exe /k   and cmd.exe /c  but again it just ignores the prompts.

This is the contents of the functioning .bat

======================================
ECHO off
ECHO Find User Session ID

IF NOT "%1"=="" SET computer="%2"
IF NOT "%2"=="" SET user="%1"

IF "%1"=="" SET /p computer=What Computer ID?
IF "%2"=="" SET /p user=What username?

query session %user% /server:%computer%

SET /p session=What session ID?

mstsc /v:%computer% /shadow:%session% /control

SET "computer="
SET "user="
SET "session="

pause

==========================================
