Hi, using "call" command, one can run newman collection from a batch file. This doesn't require to open Node.js command explicitly. 

More about call :

newman-smoke.bat

@echo on
cd C:\PostmanCollections
timeout /t 5 /nobreak

call newman run "SmokeTests.postman_collection.json" -e "QALabEnv.postman_environment.json" -r htmlextra,cli --reporter-htmlextra-export "C:\Reports\SmokeTestReport.html" --reporter-htmlextra-title "Smoke Test Dashboard - QA Lab" --reporter-htmlextra-titleSize 6 

echo 'Execution of SmokeTestscollection successful!' 

-r htmlextra, cli 
This part in the command generates html extra report as well as report output on the console. 

--reporter-htmlextra-title "Smoke Test Dashboard - QA Lab"
This part in the command gives the custom name to the report. 

 --reporter-htmlextra-titleSize 6 

This part in the command used to specify the size of the report title (1 through 6, 1 is min 6 is max) 

To redirect the batch logs from console to file add below piece of batch script at the beginning of the file. 

@echo off
set LOGFILE=smoke-log.log
call :LOG > %LOGFILE%
exit /B
:LOG
