I created linked server using following script On my dev server: EXEC sp_addlinkedserver @server='prd' ,@provider='SQLNCLI' ,@srvproduct='' Connection is fine.When I expand ‘Catalog’ folder from newly created Link server it shows databases that I have on my dev server.I can not see prd\databases.Any idea why? Thank you
It is mostly probable some alias is exists on your dev machine to use "Prd" as an alias to refer to your dev server , thereby you have to double check SQL Server alias exists on your machine using SQL Server client network utility (Run >>> Cliconfg.exe) If still persist , please let me know to work out other assumptions
