Is there any way to remotely execute a stored procedure?

Is there any way to remotely execute a stored procedure, preferably using linked server? Edit: we can use linked server, openrowset, anything that can be run inside simple SQL.

When to return data from a stored procedure?

When returned, the cursor position is set before the first row. For a forward-only cursor, if the cursor is positioned beyond the end of the last row when the procedure exits, an empty result set is returned to the calling batch, procedure, or trigger. Note.

How to avoid recompiles for stored procedures in SQL Server?

SQL Server will also be able to reuse the execution plan for the stored procedure the next time the procedure is called and your recompiles will go to zero. Remember that like permanent objects, if you change the schema of a temporary table, that change will cause the stored procedure to recompile as well.

How to avoid compile locks in SQL Server?

Can you run procedures from down level to up level?

Why does remote procedure call fail in SQL Server?

Setting remote access to 0 (and restarting) causes remote stored procedure calls using four-part syntax to fail, even though all the documentation suggests it should not fail for linked servers.

Can you run a procedure on a remote server?

This will show two result-sets, one for the local server, with server name, and version, and one for the remote server with the same details. Executing this will prove that you can run stored procedures from down-level servers to up-level servers.
