Re: SQL Server 2000 linked server problem



Dear Frank,

Thank you for your update.

Yes. If the Kerberos delegation does not work properly, other linked
servers should also be affected. If my understanding is right, your last
reply indicates that there are multi-linked servers created in your
environment but the issue only occurs when involving one specific link
server. If I have any misunderstanding, feel free to let me know.

I understand that you are in the process of moving databases off to a SQL
Server 2005 system. After completing the migration, please check if the
issue can still be reproduced. If you need further assistance, please feel
free to post back and also collect the requested information (MPS report).
I will do more research for you and try to find the root cause for this
problem.

Have a nice day!

| My guess is that if it were Kerberos delegation, that it would be
happening

|
| We are in the process of moving databases off to a 2005 system.
| So, I was looking to see if there was something that could be done to
kick
