Linked Server

  • I created linked server using following script On my dev server:

    EXEC sp_addlinkedserver

    @server='prd'

    ,@provider='SQLNCLI'

    ,@srvproduct=''

    Connection is fine.When I expand ‘Catalog’ folder from newly created Link server it shows databases that I have on my dev server.I can not see prd\databases.Any idea why?

    Thank you

  • might be permissions.

  • Might sound lame, but check to see if there's some System DSN created (in Administrator Tools, ODBC)

    Sounds like there might be a "prd" in that that's pointing to your "local" server...you can also try dropping and recreating it.

  • is there any entry in your host file that points to your local?
