how to transfer data without creating linked servers?

  • i have some index frag and row count data i want to centralize for reporting purposes. i also want to set up a daily process to transfer it to a central location, but only current data. if i use a query in the data flow task from an OLE DB source then it's going to ask me to create a linked server which i don't want to do. is there any way around it?

  • Easiest way would be to build an SSIS package that walks through a list of servers using a for-each loop and using expressions replaces the server name in the connection.

    I cannot find the article link I would normally point you too, but I would be willing to walk you through it.
