Hi everyone,
We have
Server A, Production server, Physical box (SQL 2005)
Server B, Production server, Physical box (SQL 2000)
Server C, test server, virtual (mirror image of Server A, SQL 2005)

Server A is nicely connected (linked server) to server B with credentials.
Server C which is supposed to be mirror image, doesn't create the linked server using the same .
Is it because of DNS, distribited transaction coordinator, active directory, kerberos? What should I or our system engineers be looking for?
ANY IDEA will be greatly appreciated.

As for the error, it is listed under the linked server but has no catalog and table. also once try to query second server, it gives back error that it is not connected to db

sorry, the developer had go to meeting on the server and tried to query, now I don't have it with me. what is strange is that I can't create a linked server either from or to this server. Does it have anything to do with it being VM?

It's hard to answer the question without the error, but I highly doubt it has to do with it being a VM. We use VMs here too and don't have any issues with linked servers.
