OLE Automation turning off by it's own

  • Hello all,

    based on a request from the client, i tuned the OLE AUTOMATION on my SQL SERVER 2008.

    i did it through the facet and than surface area configuration and than tuned the ole automation true.

    now for some reason after few days, may be a week or so i is getting turned off again. for the life of me i cant figure out why its turning off...only the DBA have sys admin rights and i have already confirmed from the other dba's that they didnt turned it on.

    can any one help me on this?

    Thanks in advance

  • Somebody with permissions is turning it off. Or there is a scheduled job doing it. It is possible that a startup proc is also disabling it explicitly. Check for those things.

  • hello,

    Thanks for the input,, can you explain a bit about what u mean by startup proc.... sine the last turn on by me... till the next turn on again the server didnt start or re-booted.

  • It would only be applicable if the SQL service had been restarted.

  • any idea how will I look for the job or a person who turned off the OLE... currently all i can think of is look in the error log but that will be too many entries to go by.

    With Regards

  • You could set up a policy and raise an alert when the configuration changes. You can even prevent the change at all.
