I have been in a situation where our Security compliance team requested to prove that remote access configuration is indeed mandatory to setup log shipping for a Biztalk database. As all we know this configuration option is used to execute remote stored procedures from local server or allow access from remote server to execute a local stored procedure. Of course this has to be accompanied with a linked server that provide RPC_OUT services.
Refer below my article for more details.
