What would be the problems if a DBA did not have access to a production SQL
2k Win2k cluster box and had to administer it through EM remotely. We are
migrating existing systems to a new environment and the NT engineer does not
want to give me access. I gave him a list of issues I had with that
including: command line access to restore master, cluster admin to stop and
start sql etc. He said cluster admin can be done remotely and a remote
command prompt utility can be used. Now, apart from being a complete pain in
the arse can anyone give me a concrete reason why I MUST have direct access
to the box through terminal services instead of p***ing about with EM and
remote command prompts etc?

Cheers
