Via SSMS I can export stored procedures to any drive on the network.
However, when I attempt to do a DIR via XP_CmdShell, I can't "see" anything except the drive of the server in which my instance of SQL Server resides.
What needs to be done to that server to provide cross-domain visibility ? Just add shares to my required network drives ?

exec master..xp_cmdshell "dir \\servername\foldername"
works for me.

No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die.

I get:
"The system cannot find the path specified"

It appears the server is somehow locked out of the network as far as SPROCS are concerned.
Wierd - I can see the network from SSMS however.

Could this be a permissions issue ?
Sorry - I posted this to the 2000 forum when in fact this is SSMS 2005.
