| Hi! I created a stored procedure which uses the xp_cmdshell.EXEC XP_CMDSHELL 'DIR \\SERVERNAME\FOLDER'If I use it on a local computer it works fine but if I try to access computer on a network, it returns "Access Denied".I have read a lot of articles which says check the permissions. Can anyone tell me what are those permissions and how do I check them?Thanks! I would appreciate any help on this... |

The folder which you are trying to access must be configured with at least read access for the user that executes the xp_xmdshell command.
