Hi, I am having a go with DBMaintAlerter and whilst I can get the client to work and send me a test message I am having little sucess with the server component. I am executing the following command: Z:InstallsDbMaintAlerterExportdbmalerterserver SERVERNAME and the error I get is: Error from .Net SqlClient Data Provider: Line 12: Incorrect syntax near 'xp_cmdshell'. I am running this against the default instance of SQL server (I have three) I have tried varying the syntax but this is the only one that doesn't give me "SQL server not found" errors. Cheers (for relevancy moved from General DBA section_)
May contact the vendorhttp://www.dbmaint.com/contact_us.asp about this issue as it seems to be calling the servername from the application. Satya SKJ Moderator http://www.SQL-Server-Performance.Com/forum This posting is provided “AS IS†with no rights for the sake of knowledge sharing.
