get @@Identity from another server(linked server)

Question

I have a linked server, I want to add a record to the table on the linked server, Is it possible take @@identity from another server with linked server? (SQL Server 2005)

Answer 1

You can create a stored procedure on your linked server that will return the identity.

You should be using SCOPE_IDENTITY() rather than @@IDENTITY, by the way.
