Hell, I don't go to the computer room unless I need to find an administrator or put a cd in a drive. If I can force some sucker into making the walk for me I would be happy with that. It does seem like a silly restriction though.
You are an administrator. At one point in time there was talk here about restricting our development team from the server room but what if the administrators
are away and are trying to talk someone through some stuff and part of it includes physically shutting off the machine? It has happened.

Still, its cold in there so I do avoid them.

Our hardware people are cracking sown on access to the computer room. They have decided the DBA group can do all their work without going to the server itself. This includes Unix and NT server running both Oracle and SQL Server. We would have to use VNC Viewer and PC Anywhere. I am trying to put together a list of things we might need to do that would make remote admin difficult as well as taking longer. If you have any ideas I would appreciate it.
