  • RE: Remote Server Administration - Drawbacks

    Start here:

    Enable Encrypted Connections

    Enable SSL Encryption for SQL Server Instance

    MSDN Blog on Encrypted Connections

    You can also google "sql 2005 encrypted connection" (without the quotes) for more articles.

  • RE: Remote Server Administration - Drawbacks

    Using PC Anywhere doesn't necessarily mean there's a VPN or SSL tunnel set up. You might want to check on that to make sure connections really are already encrypted.

    I appreciate the help you're trying to give me, but you're giving advice based on incorrect assumptions about my setup. This might be because I'm not stating it correctly. So,...

    Did you try dtcping and dtctester?

    Hadn't heard of those tools until you told me about them. I'll check into them. Thanks for the link.

  • RE: MSDTC Cluster issue

    Alzdba, Thanks for the links. I've seen a few of them before, but the one on tracing is new and I might just have to do that.
