i'm trying to use powerbi desktop to connect to a database server in phx domain (via redmond\corpnet) do we know it's allowed at all or do i need to configure something for it to work?

@liahuang if you are on a machine that's a member of that domain, it should just work. Otherwise you may need to VPN to that server.

You mean I need to VPN into the server in PHX (that's where I want to connect to) and install powerbi on that server. Correct?
