I'm trying to run a .vbs file through the xp_cmdshell sp. It works fine, but if there's an error in the vbscript, the xp_cmdshell will just hang.
When I run the file from the command line, an error dialog box comes up expecting you to click ok. Sql just hangs waiting for this to be resolved.
Anyone have any ideas about how to get around this?
thanks
I have a stored proc that attempts to execute xp_cmdshell using a login other than 'sa'. The permissions have been given to the login to execute xp_cmdshell and the stored procedure executes perfectly within the query analyzer in EM. However, when attempting to execute the same stored proc in ISQL_W under a login with permissions for everything as dbo (other than Master) I get error 1326 for LogonUser on line 359. This is with the "xp_cmdshell - Use SQLExecutiveCmdExec Account for Non SAs" disabled (as described as a "workaround" on the technet). Microsoft acknowledged this as being a 'bug' to 'fix' and put a 'fix' in Service Pack 5a. The server that is experiencing this problem is running service pack 5. Is there any difference between the service packs and if so, will installing service pack 5a help me? And if not, what can be done to alleviate this problem?

View 1 Replies View Relatedsome one can tell if i can make a "where" clause inside the BCP , when i say : select * FROM tbl where flag=N , usually the where flag='N' works with the ' ' , but it gives no error when save the store procedure without it ' ' saves nicely the SP,

like this it saves well "SELECT * FROM tbl where flag=N" and

I get this error when trying to run xp_cmdshell. I have turned on xp_cmdshell via sp_configure and verified it is on (set to 1) by running sp_configure again. The login trying to run xp_cmdshell has sysadmin privileges. If anyone has a solution please let me know.
View 8 Replies View RelatedWhen running the following statement in SQL 2005, I get the error message "Access is denied":
exec master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'TYPE \SERVER-BSHAREFILE.TXT'
The following are true about the network:
The SQL Server is installed on SERVER-A.
SERVER-A and SERVER-B are Windows 2003 servers on the same Windows 2003 domain.
The SQL Server and SQL Server Agent services are running under the domain account SQLSERVICE.
SQLSERVICE is a member of the Domain Admins group.
The Domain Admins group is part of the local Administrators group on SERVER-B.
The SQLSERVICE account has also explicitly been given Full Control to the folder referenced by \SERVER-BSHARE
xp_cmdshell use has been enabled on the SQL Server.
If I run the following command in SQL:
exec master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'whoami'the following is returned: DOMAINSQLSERVICE
If I change the command to access the c: drive instead of a network drive, it executes successfully.
Can anyone shed some light on why I still cannot access any of the files in this folder using xp_cmdshell?

Hello,
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.

select @doscmd = 'mkdir ' + @directoryname

hi 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'

I 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?

SQL 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.
Hello, friends,
This is probably not a question for DBA forum, but may be someone knows the answer.
In the stored procedure I'm using xp_cmdshell command to copy file from one dir to another.
How I can receive any indication what the process succeded?
xp_cmdshell return 1 or 0 if the stored procedure was invoked,
I would like to receive an indication that the file was copied.
How to create directory and file using xp_cmdshell..?
Thanks,
Harish
I 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
Hi 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.
