I've installed SSMS on the Surface, and I can get into the prod DB, no hassle.
But when I try to access the test DB it fails. It can find the server on the servers list, but can't retrieve he DB's or login - but it used to work on the Wookietab, and I've changed nothing. I've checked all the obvious stuff (login data, port 1433, ...) but I can't even find a login failure in the SQL logs on the desktop.
OK, let's take a break from that and try crochet or something instead ... maybe it'll sort itself out tomorrow.

It's a microsoft device; you have to use it they way they've decided you should use it.
... And they don't believe in testing.

Borrowing from Apple much?

Not "borrowing"; "trying to emulate", and failing badly.

When it arrived, did you check it for latent damage (someone needs to do QC).
The approved procedure (best for iProducts but it will work here, too) is to hold the device vertically; gently lower it into a large pot of boiling saltwater. Now observe carefully: if it floats it was OK, otherwise, it was clearly defective.

The Salt Water Check is only recommended for Apple and Huawei products - Microsoft ones need to be lowered into warmed DDT to kill the bugs...

Salt water is very bad for electronics.
Boiling oil is safer.

Are you running under a full admin profile? Most MSFT is only tested under this profile.

Hi All,
I just knocked my Keyboard (an old Dell) on the floor...the 'stuff' that came out! Stuff I don't eating! also some worrying pieces of 3D printing supports? If I ever cut myself on near it I will get a shot for tetanus...

That's because at night homeless people let themselves in and use your equipment.
It's better than selling "timeout", I guess...

You read the articles on how phones are dirty because we tend to thouch them a lot?
A keyboard is worse.

Have heard somewhere that the dirt on TV Remotes in hotels is worst of all. All kinds of bacteria, etc. on them.
|
|

|
|
I seem to remember an episode of Mythbusters, The Kitchen sponge was worse of all!

Never thought of it in that way before, and I certainly didn't need to get that image stuck in my head.
I'm never again going to rent a room in a hotel that offers adult channels...in the off chance that someone might've been practicing...lets call it "one-handed channel-surfing".
(I know this isn't helping...but I don't see why I should be the only one getting that image stuck in his head)

Remotes in hotel rooms are contaminated because the maid cleans them with the same rag she uses on the toilet.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, but she uses that rag on the coffee pot before she uses it on the remote, so it's lost a lot of bacteria between uses.
