I'm getting the error

xpsql.cpp: Error 87 from GetProxyAccount on line 604 when I try and run

exec master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'DTSRun /S "server" /U "user" /P "password" /N "dts package" /G "{9EF5325F-1BDF-436E-A59F-003BD7B8F884}" '.

Can any one help.

is the account you are using for your userid and password a sysadmin account. If not, you have to use a proxy account to use xp_cmdshell, which is a big security no-no and it is not something I would allow on my production boxes.
