I am trying to create a linked server object on a SQL Server 2008R2 box that will connect to a SQL Server 2014 instance. I am using the Linked Server wizard. I provide a name for the Linked Server and select the radio button labeled SQL Server. I go to the Security tab and add a Local Login and select Impersonate. On the Server Options I enable RPC and RPC Out. When I click OK I get the following error:"Authentication failed. Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI10" for Linked Server "MyLinkedServer." Invalid Authorization specification."This is what the anonymized SQL looks like for this process. What am I overlooking?USE [master]GOEXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'MyServer', @srvproduct=N'SQLSERVER', @provider=N'SQLNCLI10', @datasrc=N'MyServer\MySQLInstance'GOEXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'MyServer', @optname=N'collation compatible', @optvalue=N'false'GOEXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'MyServer', @optname=N'data access', @optvalue=N'true'GOEXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'MyServer', @optname=N'dist', @optvalue=N'false'GOEXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'MyServer', @optname=N'pub', @optvalue=N'false'GOEXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'MyServer', @optname=N'rpc', @optvalue=N'true'GOEXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'MyServer', @optname=N'rpc out', @optvalue=N'true'GOEXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'MyServer', @optname=N'sub', @optvalue=N'false'GOEXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'MyServer', @optname=N'connect timeout', @optvalue=N'0'GOEXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'MyServer', @optname=N'collation name', @optvalue=nullGOEXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'MyServer', @optname=N'lazy schema validation', @optvalue=N'false'GOEXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'MyServer', @optname=N'query timeout', @optvalue=N'0'GOEXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'MyServer', @optname=N'use remote collation', @optvalue=N'true'GOEXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'MyServer', @optname=N'remote proc transaction promotion', @optvalue=N'true'GOUSE [master]GOEXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname = N'MyServer', @locallogin = N'PRODUCTIONVM\LinkedServer', @useself = N'True'GOUSE [master]GOEXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname = N'MyServer', @locallogin = NULL , @useself = N'False'GO
