  • Set up the security so nobody has access to that feature.

  • The surface area configuration wizard just runs sp_configure with parameters to change the various features. It's nothing more than a dressed up SSMS wizard.

    If someone has access to your instance, they can make the changes, SAC or with SSMS.

  • Is there a way to run the configuration manager remotely?

  • Thanks to ALL

  • I don't think you can specifically set "not a remote machine". What you can do is make sure that various logins don't have the rights to execute the system proc.
