>I am about to download and install SSMS on to a drive of the customer's computer (I will be connected via RDT). The SQL Server is on another server. I am pretty sure that during the installation of the SSMS I will need to specify "where" is the SQL Server. In what format will be this question? IP, name? The reason I am asking here is I need to ask the customer's DBA for the information on their SQL Server but I don't know what to ask. TIA.

You won't be asked where the server is if you are only installing SSMS.

When you open SSMS you will be asked to logon to a SQL server. You'll need either the IP address or the Server name\Instance name for the server.

If the server is local, then just the server name + the instance name (if not the default instance) will work. If not local, you'll need to provide the FQDN (Servername.thisdomain.com) for the server + instance name (if not default).
