XP_CMDSHELL Error
-
Hello, I have set up and configured xp_cmdshell using a proxy account and I am still getting the below error.
The xp_cmdshell proxy account information cannot be retrieved or is invalid. Verify that the '##xp_cmdshell_proxy_account##' credential exists and contains valid information. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 15153)

EXEC sp_configure 'xp_cmdshell';
Use master
EXEC sp_helprotect 'xp_cmdshell'
Any idea why this is still not working.

When are you getting this error? When you try to use xp_CmdShell? If so, please post the code.

Sorry, I posted the wrong code.

I got it to work. It turns out that the proxy was not set up on the linked server where the xp_cmdshell call is executed from.
Thank you.

That sounds like it could be the worst way to use xp_CmdShell there is for purposes of security. You really do need to post the code that's making the call across the linked server AND the code that gets executed on the linked server so we can help you avoid reading about yourself in the morning news after a breach.
