But often enough people who support a program aren’t aware of the fact that they can remote connect to a database server with SSMS or any query tool and do not need to remote desktop onto the system (and drain additional resources…)
Sometimes it is hard to teach the people to change their working behaviour.

Looking forward to the results.

Correct, I intentionally left that distinction out. I’m interested in the rules that get applied to all servers, not just production.

A development server is a production server to a developer. Some shops keep a tight watch on their test/QA servers. Other shops focus solely on production. I couldn’t think of an easy enough way to add extra question in to distinguish environments and have it tied to tools and platforms.

Maybe I can do this again in a year or so and think of the questions in a different way.

Oh, and THANK YOU for taking the time to answer!
