The idea is pretty simple, follow the below steps:

1. Create a.bat and add the below content:

sqlcmd -i"C:\b.bat" -E -cEXIT -o "C:\Error.txt"

2. Create b.bat that includes the T-SQL statements:

"CREATE LOGIN [FAREAST\rayadav] FROM WINDOWS WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE=[master]"

GO

"CREATE LOGIN [FAREAST\ashwim] FROM WINDOWS WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE=[master]"

3. Create the job and choose the step subsystem as "Opertaing System Command(CmdExec)" for e.g.

EXEC @ReturnCode = msdb.dbo.sp_add_jobstep @job_id=@jobId, @step_name=N'cmd',

@step_id=1,

@cmdexec_success_code=0,

@on_success_action=1,

@on_success_step_id=0,

@on_fail_action=2,

@on_fail_step_id=0,

@retry_attempts=0,

@retry_interval=0,

@os_run_priority=0, @subsystem=N'CmdExec',

@command=N'C:\a.bat',

@flags=0
