Assuming you are using linked servers, you should just be able to replace:

Update Mytable

Set Myfield = MyData

FROM Mytable

WHERE MyCriteria = Something

With

Update Server2.Database2.dbo.MyTable

Set Myfield = MyData

FROM Server2.Database2.dbo.MyTable

WHERE MyCriteria = Something

You don't actually need the FROM if you aren't using any joins, but I'm used to putting it regardless.

Consistency is only a virtue if you're not a screwup. 😉

If you are using linked servers, make sure you have RPC enabled on the linked server and you can perform the following:

Execute serverb.databaseb.schemab.procedure;

Problems are opportunities brilliantly disguised as insurmountable obstacles.
