I upgraded a 2K server to 2K5 last night. (Actually I uninstalled SQL2K, rebooted, and then installed SQL2K5).
I can use linked servers fine, but in SSMS if I right click on one to see it's properties, or try to create a new one, I get the following message:
Cannot show requested dialog.
Additional Information
Cannot find table 0. (System.Data)
Has anyone seen this before and know what to do about it? It seems to only affect one server. I can create/manage linked servers for all other sql servers in our environment, including a second server that was upgraded last night.

May be something might have corrupted during ssms installation...
Try to remove and resinstall SQL tools or re-apply service pack...

I don't think it's a(n) SSMS issue. I don't use the SSMS on the server, I use a copy installed on my workstation. But just for grins I did try it on the server, and have the same issue.

I think that you're missing something from your new Install or it lost the location of something.

What would cause the linked servers to work just fine, but SSMS not be able to manage them? I can manage them with scripts fine also. Strange.

I have tried this before and found this resolved my issues.
you can try this, but this doesnt guarantee a solution in your situation.
What are your SQL Server Service account Running under, are they using localsystem, if yes change them to run under a Domain account or a Administrator Account (Trick). Also use Asmin(SA) Credentials to Login to Server and try again.

Service account is local admin on the server, and I log in with windows authentication, with my windows user being a sysadmin.

We rebooted that server last night for other reasons, and magically it is working fine now. I don't know why, but I'm not going to complain!
Thanks
