This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
I would normally go to Windows Explorer, select the directory, right click and select 'properties'. From there, select the "Security" tab.
If you don't have GUI access, you can use the commandline "icacls c:\ssis" and look thru there to see if the SQL Service account has permission.
(You MIGHT be able to do that from inside SQL with "exec xp_cmdshell 'icacls c:\ssis' ", but hopefully not... it should be locked down.
If you need help finding what permissions the service is running under, let me know.
