SQL Server Could Not Configure 'ServerInstance' As A Distributor.
Jan 23, 2006
I am working on setting up our new SQL Server 2005 servers. One of
them will eventually be our Replication Distributor. However when I
attempt to set this up within the wizard, I get the following error:
------------------------------
TITLE: New Publication Wizard
------------------------------
SQL Server could not configure 'ServerInstance' as a Distributor.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Property LoginSecure cannot be changed or read after a connection
string has been set. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
------------------------------
BUTTONS: OK
------------------------------
In the "Specify the Domain or Machine account under which the Snap Shot
Agent will run" page, I designate a Windows Auth. domain user; The same
user that is used to start SQL Service. Any idea as to why I am
getting this error?

Hi all,
I'm having a problem configuring one of my SQL servers
as a distributor. I've done it successfully on another
server, so I know that it's nothing procedural and there
must be an issue with the way the server is set up.
When I click 'finish' on the Configure Publication and
Distribution Wizard, I get the following error message:
Enterprise Manager could not configure 'ABEL' as the
distributor for 'ABEL'.
Error 20017: Cannot add the remote distributor at this time.
Make sure that the local server is configured as a Distribution
Publisher at the Distributor.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm fairly new
to SQL Server, so feel free to explain things in a
condescending manner. ;-)

I have had a good look through the forums and have found several ideas about permissions on the DATA folder to no avail. I have also not changed the sa user it is still sa. Unfortunaley all the things I have found haven't worked. Have you got any ideas?
They would be greatfully received.

Arghh ...
I have searched all the newsgroups and applied or tried all the suggestions, with no success. I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled SQL 2005.
Can someone point me in the right direction? Here is the error I receive when I try to 'Configure Distribution' in the SQL 2005 management studio.
Any/all help is greatly appreciated.

PS. The destination path mentioned in the error is definitely a correct path.

I am trying to "Configure Distributor" prior to setting up the publications. When I go through the wizard, at the very last step I get the following error:
******************************************************************************************
SQL Server could not configure 'serverName' as a Distributor.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Cannot find the principal 'sa', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.
'distribution' is not configured as a distribution database.
Changed database context to 'master'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15151)
******************************************************************************************
I have renamed the 'sa' account. Is there a place I need to change it to the new name for the distributor to work?? Thanks.

Hi
I often deal with a problem when replicated database is down due to
electric outage or any other scheduled type of downtime. Primary
database is up but distribution agent is going down 'after 10 attempts
to connect to replicated database'. That's the problem I think because
not only distribution agent goes in undetermined state and I have to
restart sqlagent service, but I need to go through whole process of
snapshot and applaying it to replicated db. I would like it to
accumulate transactions in distribution database and once replicated db
is up - distribute them.
I wonder if anybody can tell me how to configure distribution thread so
it does not go down after 10 unsuccessfull attempts but stays for day
or two.
Thank you, Gene.

An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.

The problem
After migrating MSDE from sp3a to sp4 (in order to fix CE replication bug) I can't sync to MSDE.
I got the following error code: [29045]->[Initializing SQL Server Reconciler has failed.] so I've looked into SQL Server CE log file and I've found the following error message:

I've already tried without success
Uninstalling all SQL Server 2000 (EE) instances (except for the "no instance")
Unistalling and re-install MSDE (sp4)
Re-registering sscerp20.dll.
Rebooting server.
Restarting IIS.
Any ideas?

Any ideas?

Hi this is SQL 2000 but I couldn't see a forum for SQL 2000 replication.
I have set up merge replication. Between a server and an msde laptop.
The sync works fine within the network but when the user goes home and vpn's into the network and tries to replicate they get an error message that says:
"...server is not configured as a distributor" I find this strange because the replication definitely works within the network.

Hi
I have a setup where I need to replicate the database which is actually subscribing from another database. The current setup is all in SQL Server 2000. I need to now setup a Distrbutor on a SQL server 2005 and publish the database using this distributor to another server on SQL server 2000.
Has anybody done this before. If yes what will I need to check. Can you please let me know :-
1) SQL Server 2000 which SP should be installed to support this enviroment.
2) SQL Server 2005 which SP should be installed to support this environment.
3) Any thing that I need to look out for.
Thanks for any inputs on this.

We have a setup with one Publisher Server and 15 Subscribers with merge replication configured for all subscribers. The current Database size is approximately 3 GB expected to grow to 10 GB in next 1 year. We wanted to know what benefits would we incur if we add an additional seperate distributor server (hardware box). Also, what is the approx. size of a database where a seperate distributor server (hardware box) is recommended.
Thanks in advance

I have 2 servers: #1 -- SQL 2005 SP1 publisher ; #2 -- SQL 2005 SP2 subscriber
originally I had #1 as pub and dist but dist but killing my CPU so I was in the process of moving the dist to #2... Got it all configured and when I tried to add #2 as a dist for #1 it fails when I get to the administrative password screen... It give me an error about how it cannot connect with the given password but under that is says linked server failed.
Since it mentioned linked server I tried to connect via the previous linked server to #2 and it failed... I cannot connect to #2 anymore from #1. I can login directly to #2 and I can use osql to connect to #2 but linked server does not work. I tried all drivers and many configurations...
Any ideas??

Hello All,The setting is SQL server 7, on Windows NT.If the distributor can not access the log on the publisher database ( butsubscribers are not deleted yet), will the full backup of the publisherdatabase truncate the transaction log? My guess is, it will not truncate thelog.Can any one confirm please?Thanks,Mokles

Hi,
I am replicating a couple of SQL2K databases via transactional rep and remote 2K distributor to 1 SQL2K5 database.
I want the distributor to email me when/if any of the agents fail etc. In order to set this up, I think that I need the SQL Server service to use a domain account (from error messages that I have been getting). It is currently using a local system account (it was a test box in a previous life).
I have tried this briefly, and found that it lost the publisher details in the replication monitor. Can anyone tell me what the implications for changing the SQL server service user and password are? Am I going to have to tear down and rebuild replication? The SQL Server Agent is fine - I am trying to get the two services in sync.

We are going to have two SQL 2000 Servers with a SQL 2005 distributor server that will handle 1 way transactional replication. What kind of server should I ask IT to spec out that would satisfy an installation such as this?
Our production DB is 30GB and we are replication about 60% of the data to another server.

Our company is going to use SAN (HP or EMC or Fuji) for SQL Server failover rather than MSCS. So far, DBA has no knowledge of SAN.
Would you please to tell me, how does SAN depend on SQL Server? I assume SAN software can make disk failover if there is a network, disk or OS failure in primary node. If SQL Server or SQL Agent is failure, can SAN software detect it? (or can SAN disk failover depend on SQL Server or SQL Agent services?)
Please let me know where can I find any configuration document regarding SAN for SQL Server failure. I had spent 2 days in HP and EMC wrbsite and found nothing.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Hi All,
I am new to SQL server 2005. I have installed SQL server 2005 which came along with the visual studio 2005 package. Now i could see the visual studio 2005 in the installed programs list.
I really dont know how to configure the the installed SQL server. how to create tables and veiw. frankly speaking i could not see where is the head and tail.
To be straight forward, i havent used any database to a great extent. earlier during the starting of my career, i developed a small application using VC++, which used to interact with the DB server on a very minor scale; whenever i wanted to create a table for used to do it with sql client which was also installed in my machine.
currently i am againg devoloping a small apliccation using VC++, this time for devlopment and testing purposes, I have SQL server 2005 installed in the same machine which i am using for development.
Now as i said eralier i am not even aware how to configure, how to start creating table...... :-(
all i have done is i have installed SQL server 2005 and all i could see is SQL Server 2005 listed in the installed programs list :-(
some one please help me.... :-(
I couldnt even create a DSN
Thanks and Regards
