Ike writes "Hi,

Is there a way to link a server with a different password for SA using sp_addlinkedserver? If so, how? I use "EXEC sp_addlinkedserver @server = @linkedServer" in my TSQL (I change the server name in the variable). I tried using the "@provider" and "@provstr" parameters but I kept receiving a "Server: Msg 15429, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_addlinkedserver, Line 72
'(null)' is an invalid product name." error.

If the password is the same, I use the "EXEC sp_addlinkedserver @server = @linkedServer" with no trouble."

How about

EXEC sp_addlinkedserver @server = @linkedServer, @srvproduct ='SQL_SERVER', @provider = 'SQLOLEDB',
@datasrc = @linkedServer,
@catalog = 'mydb'
