IIS won't actively execute a bat file, unless executed with the help of asp.net applications. And for security reasons, by default iis will block access to the bat file, and you need to set the permissions of the application pool. Not only the bat file, but the exe file is the same. When executing the exe file with the asp.net application, you need to set the file in the folder and add the application pool as the executable.(You can refer to this answer)

If you want to redirect to localhost:1234 by myhostname.com,you can use url rewrite or redirect module ,then enable proxy in arr. This is detail steps.
