Answer 1

Modify as needed -

declare @results table(result varchar(500))

insert into @results
exec sp_executesql N'xp_cmdshell ''ping www.yahoo.com'''

select * from @results

Similarly for tracert

declare @results table(result varchar(500))

insert into @results
exec sp_executesql N'xp_cmdshell ''tracert www.yahoo.com'''

select * from @results
