    I am sorry but I didn't get you. You are facing some issue with Linked Server and you know the reason for that issue. Then why are you posting it here? Is it FYI post?

    exec [destination server name].[master].[dbo].[xp_fixeddrives]

    Msg 8501, Level 16, State 3, Line 1

    but still unable to run the query

    i have changed the MSTDC setting by checking allows remote client connection, and checking in-bound and out bound transaction.

    but still i'm facing the error.

    Any one could please provide me a information on this
