Properties

Remarks

To facilitate connections between instances of SQL Server in an organization, SQL Server uses remote-server naming.

A instance of SQL Server can maintain authentication information for connections originating from other instances of SQL Server. Each instance of SQL Server in an organization can control access by listing the instances of SQL Server from which it accepts connections.

When a remote server is named on an instance of SQL Server, the server maintaining the name list can, in turn, originate a connection to a named remote server.

With the RemoteServer object, you can:

• Name a new SQL Server remote server.
  
  
• Adjust the Mixed Mode attributes of a named remote server.
  
  
• Execute Transact-SQL scripts on a named remote server.
  
  
• Remove a remote server definition.

  Note  The RemoteServer object is compatible with instances of SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server version 7.0. However, the RemoteServer2 object extends the functionality of the RemoteServer object for use with features that are new in SQL Server 2000.
