Xp_cmdshell Running As A Sql Agent Job
Feb 9, 2007I have created a job that runs this code:
exec master..xp_cmdshell 'D:Trace_outputAuto_perfmonAutoperfmon.bat'
This runs fine as long as I place the counter.txt file in the windowssystem32 dir.
The bat file has this code:
typeperf -cf counter.txt -o D:Trace_outputAuto_perfMonautoperf
This starts without any issues and i see typeperf.exe in the taskmanger.
The question i have is how can i stop this without having to go into taskmanager and killing typeperf.exe?
thanks for your time

Simpler commands also fail with the same errormessage. For example:xp_cmdshell 'dir'Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem? I assume this problem isdue to a permissions/security issue.

Security Problem Running Xp_cmdshell From Non-sa Account
Dec 17, 1999Our system is MS SQL Server v7 and NT 4. We have a stored procedure that exec's xp_cmdshell to run an external program located on the server. When a user who has 'sa' rights runs this stored procedure it works fine. When a 'non-sa' user (via the "BuiltinUsers" NT account) runs it, xp_cmdshell produces the following error:
Msg 50001, Level 1, State 50001
xpsql.c: Error 1385 from LogonUser on line 476
Is there an NT security or SQL Server setting I've overlooked that can be changed to allow non-sa users to xp_cmdshell programs?
n.b. The BuiltinUsers account does already have execute permission on the xp_cmdshell procedure.

What can I do to make the maintenance job run successfully, size of the tempdb database is only 50GB and recovery model is set to simple. It cannot be increased as the mount point on which it is residing is 50GB.
How To Kill A Long Running Query Running On A Background Thread.
Sep 1, 2006
If I start a long running query running on a background thread is there a way to abort the query so that it does not continue running on SQL server?
The query would be running on SQL Server 2005 from a Windows form application using the Background worker component. So the query would have been started from the background workers DoWork event using ado.net. If the user clicks an abort button in the UI I would want the query to die so that it does not continue to use sql server resources.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks
Stored Proc Is Running Much Slower Than Running The Script Directly
Mar 14, 2008One of my stored procs, taking one parameter, is running about 2+ minutes. But if I run the same script in the stored proc with the same parameter hardcoded, the query only runs in a couple of seconds. The execution plans are different as well. Any reason why this could happen? TIA.

May 15, 2001Hello,
I am trying to create a directory containing the date and then copy all the files in the current directory to it.
If I run the T-SQL script found below within Query Analyser it works fine (directory is created and files are copied in to it).
But if I run it as SQL task within DTS, only the directory is created. The files are not copied in to it!?!
I thought it maybe a permissions problem, but the SQL Server/Agent account is a local administrator and has sysadmin role with SQL Server.
I would be grateful of any assistance in this problem.
Thanks in advance,
Chris.
SQL:
declare @directoryname varchar(200)
declare @doscmd varchar(255)
select @directoryname = 'e:Audit_table_archive' + rtrim(cast(day(getdate())as char)) + rtrim(cast(month(getdate())as char)) + rtrim(cast(year(getdate())as char))
select @doscmd = 'mkdir ' + @directoryname
exec master..xp_cmdshell @doscmd
select @doscmd = 'copy e:Audit_table_archive*.* e:Audit_table_archive' + rtrim(cast(day(getdate())as char)) + rtrim(cast(month(getdate())as char)) + rtrim(cast(year(getdate())as char)) + '*.*'

Aug 10, 2001hi everybody
My requirement is, I have to transfer database backup files from one server to another server to take tape backup. Generally in my backup folder there will be 4days backups. I want to schedule a job so that after database backed up, today’s backup file only copied to the other server. I wrote following code, upto xp_cmdshell every thing is working fine.
But xp_cmdshell statement is giving error. I have to use variable value with sp_cmdshell. Please give me the solution for this.
declare @year1 as varchar(4),@month1 as varchar(2),@day1 varchar(2),@filename varchar(40)
set @year1=ltrim(str(year(getdate())))
if month(getdate())<10
set @month1='0'+ltrim(str(month(getdate())))
else
set @month1=ltrim(str(month(getdate())))
if day(getdate())-1 <10
set @day1='0'+ltrim(str(day(getdate())-1))
else
set @day1=ltrim(str(day(getdate())-1))
set @filename='EMPTest_db_'+ @year1+@month1+@day1+'*.bak'

Aug 17, 2001I am trying to run a Visual Basic Script using the xp_cmdshell stored procedure. When I try to run the file, the MS Script Debugger application is started.
I run the script like this: "xp_cmdshell 'D:ScriptFilesSpaceMail.vbs'"
I can run it from the DOS prompt successfully, but not from Query Analyzer. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to prevent the MS Script Debugger from running?

Jun 6, 2003SQL 7.0
I have given a non sa user permissions to run xp_cmdshell via his NT logon. When he runs it and does a "dir" of the server it works. When he trys to do a "dir" of his own machine it comes up with "Logon failure unknown user name or bad password".
SQL Agent is running under a domain admin account. I have placed SQLAgentCmdExec in the servers local administrators group. I have de-selected the option from SQLAgent propertiesJob System which restricts non sa users executing CmdExec stuff. I did attempt to Reset Proxy Account and Reset Proxy Password. When I clicked on these it just gave me message that the account and password had successfully been reset without asking me for username, password or domain.

Xp_cmdshell In 6.5.7.0
May 12, 1999I tried to use the external procddure - xp_cmdshell - to copy a file from a local drive to a network drive, but failed. Yet the attempt succeeded if I tried to copy a file from one place to another in local drive.
It seems that SQL Server 6.5/7.0 did not recognize any network drive.
I greatly appreciate your help/assistance and/or any hint(s). Thanks a lot

Nov 2, 1998Hi there!
Is it possible to supply variable for the xp_cmdshell parameter?
here's an example:
declare @@okay char(20)
select @@okay = "dir c:mssqlinn"
exec master..xp_cmdshell @@okay
but this doesn't work. is there any workaround on this? instead
of writing a new extended sp to cater for this.
thanks in advance.

Feb 25, 2004how to enable xp_cmdshell
View 2 Replies View RelatedXp_cmdshell And Ftp
Mar 10, 2004Basic problem:
When xp_cmdshell interacts with FTP it doesn't log the FTP return codes.
History:
I found Nigel Rivett's T-SQL FTP scripts http://www.nigelrivett.net/ and concatenated them together with some modifications so I could have a process that actually errors when an FTP fails.
The process FTP's a file, disconnects, and then reconnects to do a dir and then select from the returned listing to see if the file name exists.
I wanted to review the initial log from the put and check for a valid FTP return code of 250 that says "Transfer completed successfully"
Log Snippets:
A normal FTP log shows:
ftp> put foo 'mainframe.node.structure.foo'
200 Port request OK.
125 Storing data set MAINFRAME.NODE.STRUCTURE.FOO
250 Transfer completed successfully.
ftp: 7972888 bytes sent in 99.63Seconds 80.03Kbytes/sec.
ftp> quit
221 Quit command received. Goodbye.
xp_cmdshell log shows (with FTP debug on) shows:
7 put foo 'mainframe.node.structure.foo'
8 PORT 10,99,11,16,7,30
9 ---> STOR MAINFRAME.NODE.STRUCTURE.FOO
10 ---> quit
11 QUIT
12 (null)
As you can see, the return codes and some other messages are missing.
I've messed around with various options and can't seem to get any return codes in the log at all.
Any ideas?
