    SRV_NAME varchar(128),

    SRV_PROVIDERNAME varchar(128),

    SRV_PRODUCT varchar(128),

    SRV_DATASOURCE varchar(128),

    SRV_PRIVIDERSTRING varchar(128),

    SRV_LLOCATION varchar(128),

    INSERT INTO #LinkedServers

    EXEC sp_linkedservers

    SELECT SRV_NAME FROM #LinkedServers

    select *

    from syscomments cross join #LinkedServers x
