XP-Related Configuration Options
Type: Advanced
Default: 0
A handful of advanced options are available with SQL Server 2014 to more granularly address the execution of extended stored procedures within different SQL server components:
Agent XPs
Database Mail XPs
Replication XPs Option
SMO and DMO XPs
SQL Mail XPs
xp_cmdshell
Each of these options defaults to 0, which means external stored procedures for these areas are not available in the instance. If you enable these options, you should fully understand that doing so opens these extended stored procedures to all on the instance.
As SQL Server 2014 expands in use, some of these options will probably be highlighted in more detail as more real-world examples support their use and attention.
