• lets double check some settings...by abstracting out your code to be anonymous (SERVERA and SERVERB, something got lost, i think.

    first, i don't think its necessary to use EXECUTE AT.

    you can use an alias just like you were using.

    the syntax you are using for update requires the SERVERB to be a SQL server...

    the command you are using requires SERVERB to have a linked server to SERVERA

    from what you posted, the opposite is true..SERVERA has a linked server, but not necessarily the reverse.
