Having an issue whereby the enable_xp_cmdshell option is set (enabled) in the SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration tool. After a reboot the option defaults to disabled. I understand that the option is disabled during a default installation but cannot figure out why the setting cannot be saved permanently in the event of a reboot of the server or restart of sql services.

Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 9.00.3042.00
Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools 2005.090.3042.00
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC)2000.086.3959.00 (srv03_sp2_rtm.070216-1710)
Microsoft MSXML 2.6 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.42
Operating System 5.2.3790

Any ideas would be appreciated!

thanks
Justin

When you change the value in SAC, do yo also press apply and/or ok buttons?
