Linked Servers with Domain credentials

  • I have a SQL service account that is a member of domain admins. I am building a mechanism that probes the network for new SQL servers. When I identify a new SQL instance I want to use the network account to establish a linked server. If I use a known SQL login on the remote server I get right in, but I my not know any SQL logins on a SQL server I did not build. Thus the need to configure the linked server with network credentials. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

  • BTW. Microsoft's MSBlaster network scanner is really good for locating hidden SQL Server and MSDE installations. It's amazing how many more instances you can find over osql -L
