Hi,
I tried to drop linked server login mentioned in linked server propeerties->security. When I clicked a login and selected delete, it process successfully. When I open again linked server properteis, this login is still there. I used both GUI and command line:
sp_droplinkedsrvlogin [ @rmtsrvname= ] 'rmtsrvname' ,
[ @locallogin= ] 'locallogin'
GO

nothing works. There is no error. Any help.

Thanks

srimami

If you are no longer using this user, delete it from Main Security either. Restart the services and try to see if it still exists, sometimes it works.
