• this is just a prototype for a single database, but it's easily adaptable i think.

    I'm assuming that the current server has all the linked servers....so I thought why not search for the actual linked server name? ie "MACHINENAME\SQLEXPRESS" or whatever...to make it more specific, you could add a period to search for 'linkedserver.' instead of 'linkedserver'

    It worked on a new proc i created just fine.

    declare @LinkedServers table(

    SRV_NAME varchar(128),

    SRV_PROVIDERNAME varchar(128),

    SRV_PRODUCT varchar(128),

    SRV_DATASOURCE varchar(128),

    SRV_PRIVIDERSTRING varchar(128),

    SRV_LLOCATION varchar(128),

    SRV_CAT varchar(128)

    )

    INSERT INTO @LinkedServers

    EXEC sp_linkedservers

    SELECT SRV_NAME FROM @LinkedServers

    select *

    from syscomments cross join @LinkedServers x

    where charindex(x.SRV_NAME,syscomments.TEXT) > 1
