I am trying to set up a linked server from an sql 2008 r2 server to an sql 2000 server. If I select the local login from the drop down (local server login to remote server login mappings:), then enter the remote user and remote password and click 'ok' (selecting 'not be made' under 'for a login not defined in the list above, connections will:'), i get an 'access to the remote server is denied because no login-mapping exists. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error:7416). If I enter the same remote user and password at the bottom with the 'be made using this security context' option, it works. Any idea what i'm doing wrong with the local login setup?
