| Hi I have heard a lot of people saying that they administe the SQL Server remotely , I mean sitting in one city , they work on the SQL Server in another city.How is this actually achieved . Is it that the SQL Box is given a real Ip & then they connect it though the internet, but then this would not be safe , as the SQL box would be on the real Ip. Could some one please let me knw the ways (solutions) to access & adminster a SQL Server remotely. (Not on ones LAN ) ...Thanks & RegardsKid |

Yes. TCP/IP would be the network used.quote:

If a VPN is used, or there is IPSEC and a good firewall set up on the SQL Server, then it is safe. |
