xp _ cmdshell in SQL Server 2008

  • I am converting a DTS package from SQL 2000 to 2008. Initially this package is being invoked via stored procedure that is using xp _ cmdshell.

    in SQL 2008 I get permission denied error.

    Does anyone know how to enable it in 2008?

    Another thing is when you try to google for xp _ cmdshell 2008 - it crashes. I've tried searching here on sqlservercentral - it crashes too. is it a reserved word that can't be included in search criteria or something?

    Many thanks!

    Haven't seen any issues with that search phrase causing a crash. works just fine in google for me.

  • It doesn't work in Bing or Google searches in IE8 or Chrome. Even when I search SQLServerCentral's Forums internally it blows up. Very weird.

  • Hmmm...I wonder if you might be experiencing problems caused by spywear or maybe your employer has a proxy server that is causing the blowup.
