    Thanks for you inputs Jared.

    I have just enabled the RPC out and executed my query and I end up getting the below error:

    OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "MAS90_LINK" returned message "[ProvideX][ODBC Driver][FILEIO]Table is not accessible".

    Msg 7306, Level 16, State 2, Line 1

    Cannot open the table "AR_Customer" from OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "MAS90_LINK".

    Yes I am the SYSADMIN and I am using the same windows authentication to connect to the SQLServer with linked server from my laptop through SSMS(from where I am getting the error) and if I do an RDP to the remote Server and connect then I am able to fetch the records. Although I am not able to view the tables from my laptop as well as actual server under the catalogs of the linked server(MAS90_Link).

    Try also enabling RPC and make sure the distributed transaction option is TRUE as well. I can't find to much info on these, but I believe that RPC may have something to do with remotely logging into the instance and then accessing a linked server.
