HRESULT GetRemoteName(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetRemoteName(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewValue);
Note SQL-DMO strings are always returned as OLE BSTR objects. A C/C++ application obtains a reference to the string. The application must release the reference using SysFreeString.
Remarks
An instance of SQL Server can maintain authentication information for connections originating from other instances of SQL Server. Server-originated connections are attempted when, for example, remote procedure calls are part of a Transact-SQL script.
When a server-originated connection is attempted, and the client connection to the server originating the connection request uses the login referenced by the RemoteName property, that login is mapped to the SQL Server login represented by the LocalName property of the RemoteLogin object.
