Author Linked server from 2005 to 2000 failed

Hi,
I made the linked server from SQL Server 2005 Windows 2003 (64 bit) to SQL
Server 2000 (32 bit). I got error message as following: Cannot obtain the
schema rowset " DBSCHEMA_TABLES_INFO
" for OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked
server "SQL2000_SQM1BSI". The provider supports the interface, but returns a
failure code when it is used.

I read the article 906954 and try to solve this problem but the osql didn't
run successfully in sql server 2000 (with SP3) box. In SQL Server 2000 box,
it installed named instance, can I use sa to run osql with instcat.sql? Can
someone give an example?

Regards!
Chen

Hi

Yes you can use osql to run instcat.sql and this is described in the second
set of examples that uses the -U parameter. Make sure that you have the
correct version of instcat.sql e.g. instcat.sql for service pack 4 will
insert a version number of 8.00.2039 for SYS_SPROC_VERSION into
spt_server_info
