Use the Ole Automation Procedures option to specify whether OLE Automation objects can be instantiated within [!INCLUDEtsql] batches. This option can also be configured using the Policy-Based Management or the sp_configure stored procedure. For more information, see Surface Area Configuration.
The Ole Automation Procedures option can be set to the following values.
0
OLE Automation Procedures are disabled. Default for new instances of [!INCLUDEssNoVersion].
1
OLE Automation Procedures are enabled.
When OLE Automation Procedures are enabled, a call to sp_OACreate will start the OLE shared execution environment.
The current value of the Ole Automation Procedures option can be viewed and changed by using the sp_configure system stored procedure.
The following example shows how to view the current setting of OLE Automation procedures.
