Hi,
I have a issue creating SQL link server between 32-Bit and 64-Bit. I can properly create link server from 32-Bit to 64-Bit SQL server.
I am getting following error when I going to add link server from 64-bit. I will be able to connect properly to SQL engine.
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
------------------------------
The test connection to the linked server failed.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
