LINKED SERVER PROBLEM

  • HI

    I am trying to add linked server from sql server 2000 to sql server 2005. My destination machine is having sql server 2005 ( named instance ) . Somehow after creating the linked server whenever i am clicking on tables it is throwing error :

    Error: 17 SQL Server doesnot exist or access denied.

    The login from which iam trying to add linked server exists on both the servers with sysadmin priviliges.

    Can anyone please tell me how do i go about this ?????

  • Check linked server properties and check security context.

    Most probably this would be an issue and if you have access on both server then select this option - Be made using the login's current security context.

  • what is the linked server name you are using?

  • my servername is : chovavdb01fage

    so i am creating Linked server with this name

  • What provider did you chose under other data source while configuring linked server to sql server 2005 instance?

  • I clicked the first option (Sql server). Didnt selected the second option (Other data source)

  • Okie thats fine. Have you checked using logins current security context under security options?

  • Are you trying to connect to sql server2005 Express?
