    if you are trying to remotely connect to sql server using ssms or another client on a different machine, you need to do the following:

    • open up sqlservr on server firewall
    • open up sqlbrowsr on server firewall
    • be concerned about security – if you can rdp/connect to sql w/o vpn, then so can other people – so you better make sure you have hardened environment and very strong passwords.
