    DBCC SHOWCONFIG - save results anywhere

    Trying to capture output from DBCC SHOWCONFIG WITH ALL_INDEXES to a file. I have seen examples using 'EXEC ...xp_cmdshell...' that allows output to a file, but access to the shell is blocked for security reasons -- and I don't want to enable it. Is there some other way to get the statistics...

    Hello, Is it possible to have my Win-XP-Pro computer think the following url is valid: \\server\foldera\folderb\ The problem is that when we deploy MS-Access to our sites, our MDE has linked tables to a database in the above URL.

    Scheduled Task Error 0xc0000142

    I have a server with a scheduled task set to run at 5:00AM each day, but when you look at the "Scheduled Tasks" window, it shows "0xc0000142" in the "Last Status" column. I've searched for hours with no success, so I'm hoping someone here has seen this. It is NOT due to the password changing...
