You could use a SQL Server Job, otherwise i cannot think of a way you could without xp_cmdshell.

Worth to mention that you can also leverage SQLCLR .

Example: CLR Stored procedure to execute command

Some other googlable threads:

• How to execute a DOS command when xp_cmdshell is disabled in SQL Server
• Executing an external process() in SQLCLR Project

Such approach introduces severe risks like memory leaks, crashing of underlying .net app pool etc

Therefore another link: Security in the CLR World Inside SQL Server

Answer 3

Instead of running batch file, i have created power shell and ran it from SQL job. It satisfy my requirement and resolved my issue.
