I am attempting to import data from one SQL Server to another by linking both SQL Servers together and running a query using the 4 part SQL object name.
The SQL Servers are situated over separated networks, this being 2 separated VLANS. For security reasons I wish only to connect over a single port (say 1433).
When I try to link the servers together I get message saying that the Distributed Transaction Coordinator is not available. This is deliberately as I do not want to open up the RPC ports.
Is there any solution to this problem?
