    Andrea -- Linked servers ARE in SQL Server. This should not have been declined/closed for the reason you state.

For this reason, some customers prefer to create a separate database for instance-level management and objects (sometimes named DBA or similar) and choose to manage things like linked servers and SQL Agent jobs with the post-script associated with that database.
