Did you try reading the documentation on xp_cmdshell? You better read it, here[^].

Pay close attention to the Remarks and Permissions sections. They'll tell you why you're getting "Access denied".

OK, why? It's a MASSIVE security risk and no DBA is going to enable it for you. Why are you even using it?

You can run the exact same command line, "cd E:\>bcp pharmy_database2012.items out E:\bcptest3.txt -T -S (localDB)\V11.0", by using the Process class.
