  Hello all,

  I dropped my xp_cmdshell from the master database sometime back due to the security issues.

  Now I think I should need it. How do I re-create the xp_cmdshell.

  And also, I want to disable it kindof. So that noone uses it. How do I do this.

  Thanx

  Parasu Raman

  To add it back, it depends on your version.

  SQL Server 7:

  EXEC sp_addextendedproc 'xp_cmdshell', 'xpsql70.dll'

  SQL Server 2000:

  EXEC sp_addextendedproc 'xp_cmdshell', 'xplog70.dll'
