linked server question

Post by Mega » Wed, 02 Apr 2003 01:36:20



I need to create a linked server that will be called fred
and I want it to point to server fred.corp.com then I have
dns setup to resolve fred.corp.com to another location....
I have no idea how to specify the the linked server called
fred pointing to the full name... is there a stored proc
that I can run to point a linked server to a full server
name or a parm at setup time?

I am running sqll 2000 sp3 on a windows 2000 server.

thanks!!

When we setup linked servers, we use FQDN's (Fully Qualified Domain Names,
i.e. someserver.ourdomain.com) as a normal part of our configuration.  This
works flawlessly on both SQL2k and SQL 7.0.

I'm not sure what your question is...?

1. Linked Servers question

Hi
I noticed, when linking servers, only pure SQL7 Servers
(sp_addlinkedserver 'ServerM',
N'SQL Server')

I'm linking SQL server M to server N both are NT security only, using the
SQL service account in the M server as a user with security permissions on a
database.

When I logon to server N directly I can do selects on a view of a table in
the connected database.
But when I log on to server N from another machine via Enterprise manager, I
can not get my select statements to work. It comes up with user / can't log
in or something like that. I've tried all sorts of NT impersonations, none
of them made a difference.
The links views, probably work with stored procedures because they are run
in their own space.

I don't have this problem with ODBC Linked Servers.

Is this a feature of linking SQL7 servers?

Thanks
