Have you ever been troubleshooting a problem with remote SQL or remote DB connection and want to see if an account could make a remote connection to SQL but didnt want to install the SQL tools? There is a simpel way to test the database connection.
Just go anywhere on your system and create an empty text file named anything but instead of txt make sure the extension is UDL. Then, double-click on the file and up pops a SQL connectivity window to allow testing of remote SQL connections.
