Hi.

Just out of curiosity, I would like a clarification of 'You need to have permissions to any database on the server.' Does that mean you need to have access to ALL DBs or you need access to AT LEAST one DB? If it is the later, I would say it is hard to execute SELECT @@VERSION if you do not have access to 'master' and an ability to login. Anyone heard that it is possible to login if you can't access your LoginProfile? In this case it is quite theoretical since you are not allowed to remove 'guest' from 'master' and 'tempdb'... But then, so is also the QOD...
