Hi,

I would like to configure sp_xp_cmdshell_proxy_account using a group managed service account.

My searching have lead me to this thread that describes SQL server 2014:
https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/187893/sql-server-2014-using-gmsa-for-xp-cmdshell-proxy-account

Now - has the status changed for SQL server 2017 / 2019 ?

    Hi @agepeder ,
    Based on my test, it seems we still cannot use a gMSA as the proxy account for xp_cmdshell in SQL Server 2017/2019 as SeanGallardy mentioned. With gMSAs, the password is managed by either the server using the account or by the AD DCs themselves. But the sp_xp_cmdshell_proxy_account is required to specify a Windows login and Password.
