Good morning!
My user group at the company has been working with SQL Server Management Studio installed locally on our desktops/laptops. Our database that we connect to is stored on a SQL that we have not been allowed to Remote Desktop into. This database has moved 4 times in the 2 years that I have been with the company. Each time we move, we have had to also move the location / ip address of the ONLY folder we have been allowed to bulk load from. That has required adjustments to some of our code that loads data on a regular basis from that location. We are going through our 4th move right now and I requested that we leave the location of this alone. Our IS team is telling us that'simpossible to accomplish with a desktop install. I am not usually one to second guess but I want to ensure that there is no way to allow a database hosted on a server to access a remote location when the user group is running a desktop install. That just seems like something that people would want to do with SQL server...
Thanks for any guidance!
