Source Environment: Win2K8R2 Std. SP1 X64 - SQL Server 2008 R2 Std. SP1 X64
Destination Environment: Win2K3 Std. SP2 - SQL Server 2000 Std. SP4
Description: I have created a stored procedure on the MSDB database in the Source server to start a job on a Destination server using a Linked Server connection. The linked server object uses the sa account to connect and displays all the databases on the Destination server. When I simply execute the stored procedure from as query window:
exec msdb.dbo.usp_StartRemoteJob 'DestServer', 'JobName'
I receive the following error:
Msg 911, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'MSDB'. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly.
Thanks in advance for your time and input.
