William, I would expect the Sys Admins to restart the server. The DB(s) should subsequently come up. Am I missing something in what you wish to convey?
My conclusion based upon what I've read on this thread was that installs were raised as the primary flag for local physical access but that even this can be worked around if necessary.
So what tools are people using for "remote" administration?. Perhaps to be more specific if you're on LAN but have no phyisical access to server and then same for WAN and then over PSTN. Do you use different tools for remote admin in these different scenarios, i.e. distance and bandwidth limitations force use of different tools?.
Anyone any feedback on experiences of PocketDBA product?.
Anyone any "bad press" or gotchas about VNC?
