Connecting to SQL Server 2005 on another domain through VPN connection

I have SQL Server 2005 dev installed on my machine.

Using SQL Server Management Studio: how can I connect to a SQL Server on another domain?

Please note that the computer has to be VPN'ed into the domain I am connecting to.

Thanks, Voodoo

You should be able to do as normal once vpn'd in, but there are a few catches:

  • You may have to use the FQDN. ie sqlserver.network.local, not just sqlserver
  • windows authentication may or may not work, so probably just log in using a sql account, if you have one.

Once you're vpn'd in it should be just like local network. Put the fully qualified server name in the connection dialog in SQL Management Studio.
