servers

Does SQL Server 2005 Express support linked servers?Distributed partitioned view is not supported by SQL 2005 Express, but I couldn't find any document explicitly saying that linked servers are not supported.

An easier way to find out would be to try to add a linked server.

You can add a linked server in SQL Express. A good SQL Express 2005 overview, including what is not supported, can be found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnsse/html/sseoverview.asp
