Link Server doesn't work except through query analyzer: MSSQL freezing / timing out

Environment:
Server1 (Local)
OS Windows 2000 Server
SQL Server 2000
Server2 (Remote)
OS Windows 2003 Server
SQL Server 2000
(Both with most recent service packs)
Using Enterprise Manager, we have set up the Link Server (LINK_A) in
the Local Server 1 to connect to Server 2.
The SQL we need to run is the following:
INSERT INTO table1(column1,column2)
SELECT A.column1, A.column2
FROM LINK_A.catalog_name.dbo.table2 AS A
WHERE A.column1 > xxxx;
When we run this from the Query Analyzer, it completes with no problems
in a few seconds.
Our problem:
When we add the DTS Package as the ActiveX Script (VB Script) to the
Local Package, it times out at "obj_Conn.Execute str_Sql"
Dim Sql, obj_Conn
Set obj_Conn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
obj_Conn.Open XXXX
obj_Conn.BeginTrans
str_Sql = "INSERT INTO table1("
str_Sql = str_Sql & "column1"
str_Sql = str_Sql & ", column2"
str_Sql = str_Sql & ")"
str_Sql = str_Sql & " SELECT Ａ.column1"
str_Sql = str_Sql & ", A.column2"
str_Sql = str_Sql & " FROM LINK_A.catalog_name.dbo.table2 AS A"
str_Sql = str_Sql & " WHERE A.column1 > 0"
str_Sql = str_Sql & ";"
obj_Conn.Execute str_Sql
When we make a Stored Procedure and run the following SQL, it freezes.
INSERT INTO table1(column1,column2)
SELECT A.column1, A.column2
FROM LINK_A.catalog_name.dbo.table2 AS A
WHERE A.column1 > xxxx
We've also tried the following with the same results;
INSERT INTO table1(column1,column2)
SELECT A.column1, A.column2
FROM [LINK_A].[catalog_name].[dbo].[table2] AS A
WHERE A.column1 > xxxx
The same thing happens when we try to run the "SELECT" by itself.
SELECT TOP 1 @.test=A.column1
FROM LINK_A.catalog_name.dbo.table2 AS A
WHERE A.column1 > xxxx
ORDER BY A.column1
What is going wrong here, and how do we need to change this so that it
runs without timing out or freezing?
Hi
Try running SQL Server Profiler to see what is going on when you run it from
QA and by using DTS? Do you have trigger/s defined on the table?
How big is your load? Does the database set up iwth FULL recovery mode?

And if you slap BEGIN/COMMIT TRANSACTION around it?

I believe this is the problem is the increased security with DTC in Windows
2003. We had a problem with this a while back. This was what the support
professional from MS told us:

Let starts with a few troubleshooting steps, first take security MSDTC
configurations at the minimum level. Component Services -My Computer
-Right click proprieties ->MSDTC -Select use local coordinator ->
Security Configuration -Enable Network DTC access, Enable remote
administration, Enable Allow Remote clients, Enable allow inbound and
outbound, Select no authentication required, Enable XA transactions and
verify that NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService is set in DTC Logon account.

Restart DTC service and SQL Server and test if issue persists.

If problem persist please follow this KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306843 - How to troubleshoot
MS DTC firewall issues.

I think the step to restart SQL Server is unnecessary.

Limits on parameters and query complexity?

I have a huge SQL statement with subqueries in the From and Where clauses.
When I run it in SQL Query Analyzer, it runs fine, but if I put it into the
Data tab of a report, Visual Studio just hangs.
I've been able to create the parameter list manually (adding them to the
Report Parameters dialog), and then when I paste the query in without the
Where clause, it works ok. I can then start adding lines to the Where
clause, but as soon as I get enough lines for about 10 parameters or so, it
hangs up again.
I know nothing's wrong with the SQL itself since it runs in Query Analyzer
without a hitch; am I looking at a bug in RS?Sounds like a bug. If you have a good repro, please send it to me at
bradsy@.microsoft.com

limiting database listings

Update: When I use Query Analyzer to connect, it seems to
work properly, so I believe this could be fixed from a
client standpoint.
Does anybody know of any options in Enterprise Manager
that would limit your database listings to only ones that
you own?
Or another option would even be, if anyone knows of any
Enterprise Manager replacements. Software/websites made
by other people which might not have this problem. Any
input would be much appreciated. thanks!

I feel your pain. However I spend most of my time in QA, not EM. The problem is due to the SQL-DMO library that EM is based on, because it loads all information for all databases, not just the names - thus usnig up your bandwidth. This will be "fixed" in
SQL Server 2005 ("Yukon"), in that the database access API will only load the database names, and not all other information, which will speeds things up many times.
Your best bet is to use QA. You can't filter your list. You might also want to consider using the new WebAdmin tool from Microsoft - this might speed things up for you (http://tinyurl.com/3cuzt).
