When I am attempting to set up my SQL Server as a distributor, I'm getting the following error: SQL Server Enterprise Manager could not configure 'VIPER' as the Distributor for 'VIPER' . Error 18483: Could error 14114 not connect to server 'VIPER' because 'distributor_admin' is not defined as a remote login at the server. In doing research, I found several sources and articles that show that my machine name, and the actual name of the server are not the same. When I check the sysservers view in master, I see that: 0 1089 VMSSERV SQL Server SQLOLEDB VMSSERV 4/23/2008 9:50:41 AM 1 1601 repl_distributor SQL Server SQLOLEDB VIPER 10/12/2011 1:23:18 PM 2 1184 CHARLIE SQL Server SQLOLEDB CHARLIE 2/18/2011 1:32:14 PM The first line is the original database that was setup, and that I intend on using. You can see (kinda) that the original name is VMSSERV and the actual machine name is VIPER. So, from the results of my extensive web search, I ran this in Query Analyzer: USE MASTER GO SELECT @@SERVERNAME, SERVERPROPERTY('ServerName') This returns: VMSSERV VIPER Most of my web searches show that I should refer to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/818334, which instructs to use: -- Use the Master database USE master GO -- Declare local variables DECLARE @serverproperty_servername varchar(100), @servername varchar(100) -- Get the value returned by the SERVERPROPERTY system function SELECT @serverproperty_servername = CONVERT(varchar(100), SERVERPROPERTY('ServerName')) -- Get the value returned by @@SERVERNAME global variable SELECT @servername = CONVERT(varchar(100), @@SERVERNAME) -- Drop the server with incorrect name EXEC sp_dropserver @server=@servername -- Add the correct server as a local server EXEC sp_addserver @server=@serverpropert

If so, register it as the servername instead, then try again.If that doesn't do it, select @@servername and make sure it matches the netbios name.-Chad mko Starting Member 2 Posts Posted-04/02/2003: 17:26:18 http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=19639 I have the same problem. What do you mean that the servername should match the netbios name? tkizer Almighty SQL Goddess USA 38200 Posts Posted-04/02/2003: 18:05:44 Sort of a double post:(Edit Removed the link to post info)This article explains NetBIOS:http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnntpro00/html/NetBIOS.aspFor the most part, the NetBIOS name of the server is actually the real name of the server. Chadmat was just saying not to use the IP address as the name, but instead use the NetBIOS name.Tara garyn Starting Member USA 5 Posts Posted-11/17/2011: 18:43:16 I encountered this error after someone had left unfinished a failed attempt to setup ServerA as Publisher using the existing Distributor on ServerB. When I tried to run SQL2000 E/M's "Configure Publishing and Distribution" wizard on ServerA, I got this error. SSMS has separate wizards for Configuring Publishing vs Configuring Distribution, and one of those offered to drop a hidden existing (broken) Publisher partially-defined in metadata on ServerA. The wizard executed sp_dropdistributor @no_checks = 1, @ignore_distributor = 1, and the error 18483 was resolved for all client tools. I surmise a wizard had neglected in the past to create and coordinate the distributor_admin accounts & passwords between ServerA and ServerB; I never found that account on either, and it is apparently required if Publisher and Distribu

Replication on SQL 7.0, but I get the following Error: Error 18483: Could not connect to the server "Old_Name" because "distributor_admin" is not defined as a remote login at the server. I renamed the computer, awhile ago, and this is the only reason I can think of for this error, but how to I get around it without, reinstalling the whole thing. Shane.
