Hello,
The best way is using SQL Server Management Studio (http://www.microsoft.com/sql) with which you can administer your database remotely.
SQL Management Studio Express is also available --- see http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/express/default.mspx.
You can perform most common database management tasks with SQL Management Studio Express.
Additionally, Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Web Developer also have Database Explorer tools to connect and administer your database.
Visual Web Developer Express is free at: http://www.asp.net/downloads/essential.aspx?tabid=62
