xpsql.cpp: Error 87 from GetProxyAccount

  • Hi all. i am getting this error :

    (Msg 50001, Level 1, State 50001

    xpsql.cpp: Error 87 from GetProxyAccount on line 604)

    when i run this command:

    EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @CommandLine , NO_OUTPUT

    what may be a problem in this case?

    any suggestions?

    Thank you

  • From EM --> Management --> SQL Server Agent --> properties --> Job System --> uncheck 'Only user with sysadmin ....'. Please ensure you have proxy account defined too.

    Thanks a lot,i uncheked it but i am not familiar with a proxy account and the window ask me to enter one.what kind of accounts are they?


  • It can be domain user account or local user account, depending on what you want to do with it.

    SQL Server Agent proxy accounts allow SQL Server users who do not belong to the sysadmin fixed server role to execute xp_cmdshell and own SQL Server Agent jobs. If the SQL Server user executing xp_cmdshell is not a member of the sysadmin fixed server role, SQL Server executes the command using the Windows account specified as the SQL Server Agent proxy account. If no SQL Server Agent proxy account has been set, the user gets an error.
