linked server problem

  • Hi experts,

    I am in Server A and querying Server B from SQL query analyzer by : select * from [ServerB].[database name].[owner name].

    .

    I received error: Server is not configured for DATA ACCESS.

    I checked server B and saw Server A is one of the linked server (under Linked Servers of Security). And under linked server properties=>server option, the data access is checked.

    Then I run : exec sp_serveroption 'Server B', 'data access', 'true'

    and I got another error message when I query the linked server:

    Server: Msg 18456, Level 14, State 1, Line 1

    Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'.

    What should I do now?

  • It sounds like you need to tell server A which login account to use for accessing server B.

  • can you guide me to it?

  • U have to use SQL Login id only. NT autntication will not work with linked servers. Make sure u have a common login on both the servers and under SECURITY tab select 'Be Made Using the login's Current security context'.
