Hi,

I have linked servers on SS2000 instance? Could any one tell me how to migrate those linked servers to SS2005?

Can we script the linked server on SS2000 instance using SSMS and then execute the script on SS2K5 instance?

Thank you,

Yours

Yes, you can script them out from SSMS and run them on the 2005 server/instance. If you are using explicit security credentials that you have to change the password, Management Studio will replace it with "###" characters.
