Can I administrate database from client ?

I used to do this by using win remote-desktop to windows server 2003, but since the administrator's password had changed (for security reason), I can do that anymore.

The sys.Admin allow me to make changes in server room but I dont want them watching what I am doing, I may want to add some table, some field depend what users demand. what I have in my notebook is SQL2000 personal edition which cannot modify table's structure.

Any suggestion will be very appreciated.
Thanks

ps. sorry for my poor english

Yes you can administrate from a client. I almost never connect to the server, but rather use client tools from my desktop.

Every one will do the Adminstrator work from Remotly, No one will do from the server itself. With the help of windows login(if having SA permission) you would be.

You can manage sql server remotely with sql authentication.

Thanks, but it seems that I have to install client tool in my notebook, which already have SQL2000 PE installed in it (not compatible with 2005), can I do that?

The sql server client tools will allow you to manage remotely , you could also consider a command line tool such as osql
