The error: “Error: SQL Server blocked access to procedure ‘sys.xp_cmdshell’ of component ‘xp_cmdshell’ because this component is turned off as part of the security configuration for this server.”, shows up because xp_cmdshell is not enabled for the user you have running the stored procedure. Most of the DBAmp stored procedures require xp_cmdshell, so you’ll need to enable it for the user in question. That is an option in SQL Server, and you can find configuration instructions here: Server Configuration: xp_cmdshell - SQL Server | Microsoft Learn
