Does anyone know if this was ever resolved? I can consistantly reproduce the error with 2008 R2 by restarting the server, and resolve by opening the Linked Server Object window with Management Studio. I am using IBMDA400 on a non-clustered server if these are significant.

The system (not clustered) is being used for manually initiated tests only, so I do not know if the error could occur at other times.
