Linked servers

  • Hi,

    I'm trying to setup Linked Servers as follows:

    Local Server:

    SQL Server Standard Edition, SP3

    Linked Server:

    SQL Server Standard Edition, SP1

    I receive "Error 18452: Login failed for user '(null)'. Not trusted .." error with the following:

    1. Logged in as sa within Local Login, Remote User under Security tab.

    2. Created 2 local accounts with same name and opted for "Impersonate".

    For both the servers

    1. Mixed Mode Security is enabled.

    2. Server Network Utility has Named Pipes and TCP/IP selected.

    Local Server has TCP/IP set under Client Network Utility.

    Linked Server has Named Pipes and TCP/IP set under Client Network Utility.

    Appreciate any help and thanks in advance.

  • Right now, apply SP3a to the linked server. Now. There are lots of security issues with SP1 & 2 for SQL Server 2000. That might also solve your linked server issue.
