How to set the location of a linkedserver?

Hey folks,
I have a WinNT4 machine with the indexing service setup on it. It works.
Also I have a W2k machine running SQL Server 2000. I'd like to add the
indexing service on the WinNT4 machine as a linkedserver to the SQL2000 DB
on the W2k machine.
If the DB as well as indexing service are on the same machine I use this:
sp_addlinkedserver CVDOC, 'Index Server', 'MSIDXS', 'CV'
From reading online I understand that as a 5th parameter you can give the
storedproc a location for the linkedserver however I have not been able to
make this work.
What should that location parameter look like? UNC? Web?
On the NT4 server my documents to index are in C:\somefolder\CV\
The catalog name is CV and points to this location.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks for reading sofar,
Vincent.
From what I understand the catalogs and services are completely different,
so you can't query a NT 4.0 IS server or its catalog from Win2k.

What makes you think the catalogs and services are different? Something I
wrote or is that a fact because I use an NT4 server? I don't get this part
of your message...

server, the catalogs, and most importantly the providers are all different.

How to set full-text indexing on table which has multi-columns as primary key?

Dear sirs,
How to set full-text indexing on table which has multi-columns as primary
key?
Thanks
ABC,
Unfortunately, it is not directly possible in any SQL Server versions,
including SQL Server 2005 as you must have a unique, single non-nullable
column to FT-enabled a table... That said, the workaround is easy. Alter the
table and add a int column with the identity property, for example:
use Northwind
go
exec sp_help EmployeeTerritories -- PK is PK_EmployeeTerritories
(EmployeeID, TerritoryID)
go
-- Alter Table: add unique, single non-nullable column
ALTER TABLE EmployeeTerritories ADD ET_Ident int identity (1, 1) NOT NULL
go
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX ET_Ident_IDX on EmployeeTerritories(ET_Ident)
go
exec sp_help EmployeeTerritories
Hope that helps!

tables).

|||You're welcome, ABC,
Unfortunately, this limit is by design and *might* be lifted in the next
version of SQL Server, post-SQL Server 2005.
However, if you're FT-enabling over 200 tables, you should be aware of
another SQL Server 2000 (and not SQL 2005) limit of 256 FT Catalogs per
server (machine). I'd recommend that you create a limited number of related
FT Catalogs and then use these to place more than one Ft-enabled table in
each FT Catalog.

John
