Error message? Empty resultset? Remember, I cannot see what you see :-)Tue, 19 Feb 2013 07:19:40 GMTopc.threehttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1420587-1292-1.aspxThe query works when I pass it user id and password, but it does not work when I use integrated security. Any idea how to get integrated security to work?Tue, 19 Feb 2013 06:52:35 GMTlsalihhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1420587-1292-1.aspxThe information you have provided does not compute.

I issued same statement this time using user id and password to see if it works, and yes it did give me results:select * from OPENDATASOURCE('SQLNCLI','Data Source=DESTSERVR\INSTANCE;user id =test;password=psw' ).[TESTTBL].dbo.[TBLNAME] The question I have is that if I am running the query, and my windows account is admin on both boxes, why isn't it working then!?

You do not need OPENDATASOURCE to work with a Linked Server.Fri, 15 Feb 2013 12:02:35 GMTopc.threehttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1420587-1292-1.aspxMy mistake, I am not using openquery but opendatasource... I got confused as I was trying to see what the issue is... Anyhow, in any cases, security might not be an issue as I have admin access to all boxes.

When I run the query, I get:Msg 7314, Level 16, State 1, Line 1The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI10" for linked server "(null)" does not contain the table ""TESTTBL"."dbo"."TBLNAME"". The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table. The select statement is as following:select * from OPENDATASOURCE('SQLNCLI','Data Source=DESTSERVR\INSTANCE;Integrated Security=SSPI').[TESTTBL].dbo.[TBLNAME] Both database and table do exist on the destination server, I tested the same query from another server and it works. I did query all environments sysservers, and they are all setup identical, please advice. LavaFri, 15 Feb 2013 08:35:15 GMTlsalih
