@xzvf heh, dont ask questions that would make sense in a normal situation lol.

Client requires we use VPN from a static IP (i.e. the office so no WFH but need to do early morning support...) to connect to RDP box that gives us access to the databases.

It's a super pain in the ass and means that everything has to go through this fucking RDP.

I dont think there's a way to circumvent the RDP but I'm all ears if you can save my time hahah

@xzvf nothing, nada, zilch, null. The client has it set up that way, I got no permission for anything and no in the company cares other than me it seems lol.

Worst part is I don't even have permissions on the database to do sp_who2 or script out jobs but I'm meant to be supporting the database jobs.

Sigh, if something is running and taking long, how do I debug with no permissions. Asked a couple times, ignored.

Can I see execution plans? Nope, oh, you gave it to us, only on prod, sigh. So how do I check changes before deployment, sigh. Sigggghhhhh, leaving soon tho, contract terminating cos of them not having enough work. Happy days lol
