How to check connectivity to SQL Server ?

    Hi All,

    We have a remote server with SQL Server 2005 Standared installed in it.

    I want to check if that SQL Server is accessible from one of the user PC.

    But that user PC doesn't have SQL client installed in it.

    How can I check the connectivity ?

    Thanks in advance.

    You can try using ping to see if you can at least get to the server. There's also a utility for download somewhere called sqlping that's a bit more specific.
