CmdExec Job Step giving access denied

  • Hi All

    Having fun with a CmdExec job step.

    Trying to run an exe from a network share via a job but constantly receiving

    "The process could not be created for step 2 of job 0x3ABDCCFC6D54F54289ACC5F50F74158A (reason: Access is denied). The step failed."

    The agent has execute rights to the network share and the application, I have also created a credential and proxy for my domain admin account and mapped that to the job step but still receiving the same error.

    I have a feeling its down the UAC, but cant figure out how to get around it.

    Any light on getting this resolved would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

  • What does the step do? If you log in to a console of the server as your proxy and execute the code in the step, what happens? Not the step, re-run the code in some other manner.

  • Sorry the reply email went into my Junk folder.

    The step is just a simple execute an exe from a network location \\Server\Share\app.exe, running this via CMD as the domain admin proxy account works as needed.

    I have tried as a powershell script and eventually got it to work using a SSIS execute process task package instead.
