Server administrator will not allow the code below to export file.

Exec Master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "Select * from authors" queryout "C:\testing.xls" -c'

Is there another way to export a table as xls file?

You could simply run the bcp command from a cmd window rather than through xp_cmdshell.

You could also export the data out via SSIS or the export wizard, both allow XLS files.
