Msg 7391, Level 16, State 2, Line 8

Today I worked with a developer who was trying to query some data from a remote instance and inserting into a local instance, he told me that he created the linked server locally for the abc-sqlops01 instance and made sure that all fine. And also he specified that the test connection of the linked server was succeeded and simple SELECT statement is working fine but when he tried to run a stored procedure he is getting the errors as bellow.

Executed statement:

Error:

 After digging though found that this sproc is creating a temp table on the linked server and inserting data on it and he is inserting that data locally. This action is validated by MSDTC security settings, which I found not set.  Once it fixed the stored procedure executed without any errors.

Start àAdministrative Tools àComponent Services

This will open the Component Services console

Expand the Component Services àDistributed Transaction Coordinator

                Right click on the Local DTC àProperties

                On the Local DTC Properties window, click on the Security Tab

                                Check Network DTC Access under Security Settings

                                In the Transaction Manager Communication box, Check Allow Inbound and Allow Outbound  (or check either one based on your business requirement)  and check the required Authentication method as well as required. In my case I checked “No Authentication Required”.
