Internal SQL Hardening scripts don't apparently enable SQL connection encryption ..
Now that I've been poked with the stick-of-truth by security to resolve -
My question is - would enabling the setting in a running ARS instance cause issues? Contra-indications? Already in use by others?
I ran this query in SQL
SELECT encrypt_option
FROM sys.dm_exec_connections
WHERE session_id = @@SPID
and the result was 'FALSE'
