    What do the linked server has to do with it?

    The normal thing to do would be to connect to the instance where the database resides, and run 

    EXEC sp_rename 'MyTable', 'MyRenamedTable'

    If you want to do it across a linked server, you can do: 

    EXEC SERVER.db.sys.sp_rename 'MyTable', 'MyRenamedTable'
