title: xp_cmdshell error with remote DB connection
body: <p>I have two VM servers (A&amp;B) loaded with SQL server. I have connected to the remote SQL server on B from server A (node of a clustered SQL server). Can I rename a file on server B using xp_cmdshell over the DB connection?</p>
  
  <p>I am getting the below error message when i try this command
  exec xp_cmdshell 'RENAME S:\Test\test.txt test1.txt'</p>
  
  <p>Msg 121, Level 20, State 0, Line 0
