as in my question that was already done and didn’t change; anyway the issue seems to be related to a different thing.
Theres SERVER1 (sql2005) that has a linked server to a local OLE DB compatible database (INSQL) so from remote SQL2000 on SERVER2 they cannot query the linked server via linked server
E.g S1 –>(LINKED) S2 –>(LINKED INTERNALLY TO INSQL OLE DB)

The solution I’ve provided is to have a batch on S2 that dumps the data from INSQL to a real SQL so S1 can query that DB without passing through the whole “linking path” :)
