I want to get the list of files from a mapped drive using SQL Server SP (SQL Server 2K). I am using "master..xp_cmdshell('dir <MappedDriveName>'), but it doesn'rt work for mapped drive. It works good for the local drive.

Any suggestions will be helpful.

Thanks..
Kushal"

Hi!

The reason why it doesn't work is because you start the SQL Server Service with the LocalSystem account. You need to change that to a domain account which has access to the needed drives/resources.
