If your argument is "someone in the sysadmin Role can take down the system so why bother running a system with xp_cmdshell disabled" then I think you are completely missing the point and are only focusing on one aspect of the discussion.Gosh. I thought you were going to quit. 🙂
😛 I did...quit debating the same disagreement over the comment you continue to reiterate, with no progress. There is no chance I am going to quit steering people away from implementing xp_cmdshell in favor of more secure, more auditable and more robust tools like PowerShell, SSIS and .NET.
