I see the following message in my SQL Server logs. What can cause that message? Is it something I should be worry about?

SQL Server blocked access to STATEMENT 'OpenRowset/OpenDatasource' of component 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries' because this component is turned off as part of the security configuration for this server. A system administrator can enable the use of 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries' by using sp_configure.

Thanks!

Someone/something is trying to use a resource that your server is blocking.

It's because it's not enabled in sp_configure. Run sp_configure to see.
