Linked Server error

  • Dear All,

    When I tried to create a Linked Server I get the following error message would you please let me know what would cause the issue please?

    Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [53].

    OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "Servername" returned message "Login timeout

    expired".

    OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "Servername" returned message "An error has

    occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005,

    this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not

    allow remote connections.". (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)

    Thank you in advance!

    That's the first warning for not using linked servers.

    From which engine edition are you trying to link to what target engine edition ?

    Thank you for your reply! I'm using SQL Server 2005 standard edition.

    Thank you.

  • is it configured to be using TCP\IP connections ?

    In SQL Server Configuration manager, TCP/IP is enabled.

  • if you rdp the source sql instance ( where you want to define the linked server ) can you use sqlcmd / SSMS ( if installed ) and connect to the target instance for the linked server ?

  • first check on linked server in ( component services -> computer -> mycomputer -> distributedTransaction there is local DTC.) On local DTC properties tab security allow remote access.

    if you do this,

    check ram memory on linked server.

  • Hi,

    if the server is not able to connect through SSMS is there any steps that needs to be checked.

    Thanks

  • first of all check the way the linked server is defined.

    then check if you would indeed be authorized to use the linked server in that way
