Replacement for @@REMSERVER

  • I have a procedure on a server which can be called from several different linked servers. (To be precise, the server on which the procedure exists has been set up as a linked server on the various source servers.) Whenever it's called, I want to identify the calling system in a log without it being passed as a parameter (no spoofing allowed).

    @@REMSERVER appeared to be the answer to a maiden's prayer, but it has apparently been deprecated. Five minutes of searching MSDN and I can't find any sort of alternative. Suggestions?

  • Would culling the information from sys.dm_exec_connections/dm_exec_sessions be acceptable?

  • Let me test it and see. Thanks, Ben!
