I can query the linked server table but within a trigger i am getting the error. My settings are same as what you said above. The error is below OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "server2" returned message "The partner transaction manager has disabled its support for remote/network transactions.". Msg 7391, Level 16, State 2, Procedure EMP_OLD_INS_UPD_DEL_TRG, Line 20 The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "server2" was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
