  Some of your commas are a little random. Try the first query, if this works, try the second.

  SELECT *

  FROM OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI',

  'Server= anyserver;Trusted_Connection=yes; Initial Catalog=anydb',

  'SELECT GETDATE()')

  SELECT *

  FROM OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI',

  'Server= anyserver;Trusted_Connection=yes; Initial Catalog=anydb',

  'exec sp_spaceused ''t_backup_info''')

  ^{“Write the query the simplest way. If through testing it becomes clear that the performance is inadequate, consider alternative query forms.” - Gail Shaw}
