  Hi,

  I am having SP where I am pulling data from linked server. Previously its working fine but suddenly started to give below error.

  Msg 15281, Level 16, State 1, Procedure Procedure_Name Line 184

  SQL Server blocked access to STATEMENT 'OpenRowset/OpenDatasource' of component 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries' because this component is turned off as part of the security configuration for this server. A system administrator can enable the use of 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries' by using sp_configure. For more information about enabling 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', see "Surface Area Configuration" in SQL Server Books Online.

  What could be the issue? Any Idea?

  Thanks

  Abhas.

  Looks like something has changed, what does this query bring back?

  😎

  SELECT

  sc.configuration_id

  ,sc.name

  ,sc.value

  ,sc.minimum

  ,sc.maximum

  ,sc.value_in_use

  ,sc.description

  ,sc.is_dynamic

  ,sc.is_advanced

  FROM sys.configurations sc

  where sc.name = 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries';

  GO

  Do you have sysadmin privilages on the server?

  If yes enable option 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries' in configuration by executing 'sp_configure' (with enabling advance option on).

  Go have a chat with your DBA and ask why the option was changed. It could be a security requirement that it be disabled.
