Update inserted data in the view SYSSERVERS

  • How is possible to update the data in the view sysservers!?

    It is me not allowed as "sa" to delete any inserts with sp_dropserver.

    I get the message that the server that I like to drop has any active connections yet.

    With sp_addlinkedserver I could add the new servername.

    In the view sysservers I have now 3 insertions: OLDSEREVER, repl_admin (pointed to the OLDSERVER) and NEWSERVER.

  • Hi

    can u explain what you are trying to do.

    The error message means that the server (linked server i presume) is being accessed. i.e its in user.

    "Keep Trying"

  • Hello,

    After a hardware crash I took the old file "distribution" and copied it to a new server where I have already an installed SQL Server 2005. When I try to delete the old "distributor" or to disable it, I get the message that the program needs the name for the OLDSERVER.

    I tried to make sp_dropserver 'OLDSEREVER' but I get the message that the OLDSERVER is connected yet to other applications.

    After a sp_addlinkedserver 'NEWSERVER' I could add the new server.

    So that at this time I have 3 inserts in the view "syssservers". See above.

    I can not delete the obsolet inserts.

    Due to the database 'distribution' is a system database, I could not delete it.
