Checking last user Identity on remote server

Is it possible to get the latest inserted Identity value on a remote server?
(The following gives a NULL result:
select ident_current('[my_linked_server].thedatabase.dbo.thetable')
)@.@.IDENTITY (assuming you mean server wide irrespective of the user\ connections etc).

HTH|||Beg your pardon - @.@.Identity is specific to session - sorry - didn't read every last line of BoL before hitting Submit.|||@.@.IDENTITY (assuming you mean server wide irrespective of the user\ connections etc).

Are you sure? I think that's what I tried first. Doesn't
it give the latest Id value used in the server where
you are (so to speak), not the remote server?|||Finally, I understood this is the way to do it. Just as feedback.

DECLARE @.return_status int
EXEC @.return_status = MyLinkedServer.the_database.dbo.a_stored_procedure
SELECT 'Return Status' = @.return_stat

The SP "a_stored_procedure" is stored on the linked server. It returns
Ident_Current for the appropriate table, using RETURN, simply.
