sp_dropremotelogin (Transact-SQL)

Applies to: SQL Server

Removes a remote login mapped to a local login used to execute remote stored procedures against the local server running SQL Server.

Important

This feature will be removed in a future version of SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature. Use linked servers and linked-server stored procedures instead.

Transact-SQL syntax conventions

Syntax

sp_dropremotelogin
    [ @remotename = ] N'@remotename'
    [ , [ @loginame = ] N'loginame' ]
    [ , [ @remotename = ] N'remotename' ]
[ ; ]

Arguments

[ @remotename = ] N'@remotename'

The name of the remote server mapped to the remote login that is to be removed. @remotename is sysname, with no default. @remotename must already exist.

[ @loginame = ] N'loginame'

The optional login name on the local server that is associated with the remote server. @loginame is sysname, with a default of NULL. @loginame must already exist if specified.

[ @remotename = ] N'remotename'

The optional name of the remote login that is mapped to @loginame when logging in from the remote server. @remotename is sysname, with a default of NULL.

Return code values

0 (success) or 1 (failure).

Remarks

If only @remotename is specified, all remote logins for that remote server are removed from the local server. If @loginame is also specified, all remote logins from @remotename mapped to that specific local login are removed from the local server. If remote_name is also specified, only the remote login for that remote user from @remotename is removed from the local server.

To add local server users, use sp_addlogin. To remove local server users, use sp_droplogin.

Remote logins are required only when you use earlier versions of SQL Server. SQL Server 7.0 and later versions use linked server logins instead. Use sp_addlinkedsrvlogin and sp_droplinkedsrvlogin to add and remove linked server logins.

sp_dropremotelogin can't be executed within a user-defined transaction.

Permissions

Requires membership in the sysadmin or securityadmin fixed server roles.

Examples

A. Drop all remote logins for a remote server

The following example removes the entry for the remote server ACCOUNTS, and, therefore, removes all mappings between logins on the local server and remote logins on the remote server.

EXEC sp_dropremotelogin 'ACCOUNTS';

B. Drop a login mapping

The following example removes the entry for mapping remote logins from the remote server ACCOUNTS to the local login Albert.

EXEC sp_dropremotelogin 'ACCOUNTS', 'Albert';

C. Drop a remote user

The following example removes the login for the remote login Chris on the remote server ACCOUNTS that was mapped to the local login salesmgr.

EXEC sp_dropremotelogin 'ACCOUNTS', 'salesmgr', 'Chris';
