Is it possible to write a file from SQL server to a UNC path. I am working
with a dba to change a process. Currently the DBA creates a file with SQL on
the server running SQL Server and writes the file to a local directory on the
server. I then have a scheduled task that moves the file to a file share on
another server. I was wondering if it is possible to have the file written
directly to the server using a UNC path eliminating the need for the
scheduled task. Thanks

Yes, you can. Make sure SQL Server is running under a domain account and
that the account has read/write privileges on the share.
