When I go to linked server, I can see the system catalogs. Below is how I created the the linked server:

EXEC sp_addlinkedserver

@server=N'Webdev',

@srvproduct=N'',

@provider=N'SQLNCLI',

@datasrc=N'DESTSERVR\INSTANCE';

The security is set to "Ba made using the login's current security context.

My account is set as admin to the server on both nodes.
