I have different login credentials for my laptop and servers. And I don’t have any SQL logins. As a result, to connect to the servers I need to RDP every time.

Sometime back I solved this problem , which I don’t remember now. I guess, I was mapping a drive of the server to my laptop with server credentials ..etc. …

Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

Maybe you use SQL Authentication instead ?

I can not do that because of some obvious reasons…..

But I am sure there is a workaround for this…

I don't have a SQL account.
Can I start SSMS with a different WINDOWS account?
