Joining Data between 2 SQL Server machines

I’m trying to retrieve data from between two separate SQL server machines.
I
have Server A and B on separate machine. Server A contains the majority of
my data and I’m developing my select on that server. I’ve discovered th
at I
also need data from Server B. How do I accomplish this?
Code:
Select ColumnA, ColumnB, ColumnC
From TableA inner join
ColumnA ON
(Select ColumnD, ColumnE
From ServerB.dbo.TableG.ColumnD) = ColumnA
where ColumnB = 1
I only need to retrieve two columns from server B and join them in my
select on server A.You'll need to create a linked server. See
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190479(SQL.90).aspx
for information on the topic. After the linked server is defined, you can
query the table on Server B using a four-part name:
SELECT * FROM ServerB.[database name].dbo.[table name]
