title: xp_cmdshell transport-level error
body: <p>Problem: Every time I try execute the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>master..xp_cmdshell 'whoami.exe'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The semaphore timeout period has expired.)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I have tried every possible solution that I can find out there.  I don't think it is a permissions issue as I had permissions issues on a different server and followed the exact same way to fix them on that server on this one to no avail.</p>
  
  <p>Any help or ideas on what is causing this error would be greatly appreciated.</p>
