RemoteServer Object (SQL-DMO)

The RemoteServer object exposes the attributes of a Microsoft® SQL Server™ installation that is known as a remote server to another server.

Remarks

To facilitate connections between SQL Server installations in an organization, SQL Server uses remote-server naming.

A SQL Server installation can maintain authentication information for connections originating from other SQL Server installations. Each SQL Server installation in an organization can control access by listing the SQL Server installations from which it accepts connections.

When a remote server is named on a server running SQL Server, the server maintaining the name list can, in turn, originate a connection to a named remote server.

With the RemoteServer object, you can:

• Name a new SQL Server remote server.
• Adjust the Mixed Mode attributes of a named remote server.
• Execute Transact-SQL scripts on a named remote server.
• Remove a remote server definition.
