Yes but those DDL commands often specify a from clause which is where I can put in the linked server. These do not.

ahh, you missed the point.

I created a linked server named SeattleSales.

the EXECUTE('some command') AT SeattleSales performs the action on the remote linked server, and not locally; you only need a four-part name for DML commands; for DDL, you use the AT <MyLinkedServer> format.
