In SQL Server 2005 in the sys.servers information about mapped remote SQL Server instance is stored.
How were remote servers mapped in SQL Server 2000?
BR, Adam
Based upon the compatibility table in 2005 sys.sysservers, mentioned in this MSDN library page, I would say that the catalogue view/ system table is called sysservers in 2000.

I have a database with the compatibility level 80. However, it is on a SQL Server 2005 Instance.
I need to move that database to SQL Server 2000 Instance.
I can not use the script of db because it contains lots of linked server, missing objects, same server db references which is painful to handle.
How can I move db to SQL Server 2000 without using dbscript?
I have two SQL Server 2008 instances, one running Workgroup Edition (publisher) and the other Standard (subscriber)
I am trying to replicate a database but I am getting errors when it tries to create the database at the subscriber because it thinks it is running SQL Server 2005 for some reason.
Has anyone had this issue before?
I am getting this error
Column Location in object Members contains type Geography, which
is not supported in the target server version, SQL Server 2005.
Have you checked compatibility mode for the databases?
For example:
SELECT compatibility_level
FROM sys.databases WHERE name = 'YourDBName';
Is it possible to create a linked server in SQL Server 2005, which links to a SQL Server 2000 SP3?
Yes it is possible. Check the link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188279(v=SQL.90).aspx
Is there a way to get SQL Server 2005 to query 3 or more separate Access databases (each returning 1 record) in one SQL statement?
Yes, but it will require you to create a Linked Server instance for each Access database. See here for details about creating Linked Server instances on SQL Server 2005 to MS Access.
Once you have those in place, you can query SQL Server and it will pass on the queries to the respective Access databases based on using the Linked Server instance notation when specifying tables in your SQL Server queries.
What you want is a Linked Server for each of the Access databases.
Just be aware that in SQL 2005 64-bit you won't be querying current versions of Access or Excel through linked servers any time soon.
Yes, set them up as linked servers using sp_addlinkedserver.
