SQL Server 2008 R2 : Unexpected timeout with SQL Agent Job/powershell I have a SQL agent job set to execute a SQL query against a single database and then save each row into a different file with powershell before zipping the files up and emailing me.

In one of my SQL instances this job runs just fine without any modification. In another instance the execution of the query times out after 5 seconds. I've looked and I can't find any timeout settings on the server or in the script that are remotely that low.

I tried modifying the connection string and sqlcommand both to have timeout values of 600 and for some reason this is still timing out after an extremely short period of time. I've tried running the query via SSMS and the results are returned in about 15 seconds.

What else can I look into to try and troubleshoot this?
Here is what I use in my PowerShell scripts that I experience issues for timeout. 

Invoke-SQLcmd $SQL -QueryTimeout 65535 -ConnectionTimeout 0
