Home Forums SQL Server 7,2000 Administration getting error "The system cannot find the path specified." using xp_cmdshell RE: getting error "The system cannot find the path specified." using xp_cmdshell

  • A simple question: does this folder actually exist on the server on which SQL Server is running? The xp_cmdshell is executed in the security context of the SQL Server service. Does this have permissions to the folder? So does a simple dir work:

    EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'dir C:\Shippment_Tracking\'
