Is having a Linked server connection established between servers in a production environment a bad practice. If so can you guide me why?

Also what are the other efficient ways to join data that is in two different servers in sql server 2005?

Thanks

No it is not a bad practice.

Other ways: use the OPENDATASOURCE or OPENROWSET functions.
