Hello experts,<br />
<br />
I am running this one line code on SQL Management Console and it gets hung at 'Executing Query':<br />
<br />
exec master..xp_cmdshell 'C:\Test1\Test2\test3.txt'<wbr /><br />
<br />
What is the issue? I login to the SQL Server as the local administrator of that (same) server. Is there something I am missing? Should the folder be shared instead and I use the share name?<br />
<br />
Thank you in advance
