SQL Server Remote Access Flag Disabled

Ensure that remote access flag is disabled for SQL Server instances.

The Remote Access option controls the execution of local stored procedures on remote servers or remote stored procedures on local server. Remote access functionality can be abused to launch a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack on remote servers by off-loading query processing to a target, hence this should be disabled.

Ensure that all SQL Server database instances have remote access flag set to disabled.
