A security document recommended not dropping Xp_regread.
It did not say why. Can someone tell me why this should
not be dropped? Other documents suggest dropping it.
Thanks.
 
This question is better asked on one of the SQL security newsgroups.
microsoft.public.sqlserver.security ?

What doc said not to drop it? Was it from MSFT?

I'm not a SQL guru, but my first impulse would be to remove anything that
isn't necessary to reduce attack surface. Why risk some blackhat reading
your registry?
