In AD, it is possible to ONLY allow a certain user access to certain devices. If they log into a server and attempt to log into any other PC / Server / Device with their restricted credentials, they will be completely denied access

You will need to determine what all he needs to access to complete the SQL work.

If you do not need to restrict him from anything else, that may be sufficient.

Don’t forget, once he is on the server he is “in your network.” It will be extremely difficult if not impossible to restrict him from accessing the network from the server.

If so, create a “Virtual Office” profile that will point him directly to the server via IP address.
Example: We login to our SSL box (Sonicwall) as admin, select the users icon, “add a user”. Once the user is added we select the “Configure” button and set the user up to enter a specific area only.
