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:

An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53)
this error is occuring despite the fact that i have the server configured to allow remote connections. can someone please help me troubleshoot this error? thanks.
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 am working on setting up our new SQL Server 2005 servers. One ofthem will eventually be our Replication Distributor.

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.
I get a strange error on my SQL Server 2005 database when I try to start replication.
Here is the manipulation leading to my problem: 1. Install new Windows server 2003 and SQL Server 2005 STD, service pack 2. Server is part of a domain. SQL2k5 is running under the LocalSystem account on each machine. 2. Get a copy of yesterday's full backup and transaction logs from running production SQL2k5 server. 3. Restore master, model, msdb and other user databases. 4. Try to start replication using the wizard. I get the following error message
Msg 15466 sp_addlinkedsrvlogin An error occurred during decryption. Msg 15185 no remote user distributor_admin
I suspect this problem has to do with master service keys but need some advice. I am not sure it is related to the master restore since it also occurs on the production machine.
i cann't create the credential. when i type the user and password. i get error 15466 An error occurred during decryption. the first time i use this code Use master crate credential outs_cred with identity='DomainNameAdministrator',secret='xxxxkmn'
i will get error 15466 An error occurred during decryption.
but i use this code (no secret) Use master crate credential outs_cred with identity='DomainNameAdministrator' i will create the Credential success.
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...

Merge replication previously working fine. 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 installed Micrsoft Server Desktop Engine from the CD I received in my ASP.net book. The installation went fine and then I went to the DOS prompt and did the "setup SAPWD..." and it ran. I restarted my computer and opened ASP Matrix and went to the Data tab and proceed to connect to the server. It gave me an error message it couldn't connect.
So I uninstalled MSDE and made sure the sql2ksp3 folder was gone. So I went ahead and installed the MSDE again from the CD again and then went to DOS to do the setup. It ran through the setup until the very end with 11 seconds remaining and received error message " Setup failed to configure the server. Refer to the server error logs and setup logs for more information. I have tried it several times and it always stops around 11 seconds. I have tried to install the download from microsoft.com instead the CD and that didn't work also. So at this point I am stuck. PLEASE HELP!
I also checked my Registry keys for a file called PendingFileRenameOperations and it wasn't in the registry keys.
If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.
Hey guys. I am creating an app that uses the RMO Merge Replication objects. So far it can subscribe and unsubscribe just fine but when it comes to the syncing process it gets a little weird, here's why.
- If I run the SQL GUI Sync tool, it sinks fine. So that setup is working.
- When I run the C# App it blows up witht the error: "Process cannot connect to Distributor"
- Here's the weird part: When I set a breakpoint on my custom method SyncData (this method sets up the connection info and properties and then calls Syncronize( ) ) and step through the code when it gets to Syncronize( ) it runs perfectly fine, no execeptions.
I thought that maybe the Syncronize( ) method was being called too fast before the connection properties got to fully setup and connect, so I added a Thread.Sleep( ) method for 10 secs after each connection call and just before calling Syncronize( ). It still didn't work. My class is a static class by design, however, I changed it into an ordinary class and then placed the connection info in the constructor hoping it would do it's connection when the object gets initialized, that didn't work either.
If someone could please help me out with this I would greatly appreciate it.

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.
I'm beginning to wonder if replication is worth the trouble I've had to spend on it!
Trying to create a simple peer-to-peer replication topology. I can create the initial publication. I can change the property to allow P2P. I can backup the database and I can create a snapshot. When, however, I try to configure the peer-to-peer topology, I get a 14027 error message telling me that ONE table out of 250, or so, "does not exist in the current database." That's pretty troubling given that I can run a select query against that specific table. I would appreciate any information that would help me to understand what's going on or successfully set up replication.
Hi, In a mapping I have two look up€™s before setting the configure error output €śERROR€? as ignore failure, the job was stopped with an error message €śRow yield no match€?. Now that I had changed the error as ignore failure the job is successful but only concern here is will the destination table get inserted with those records which are not matched in look up.
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.
i want to upload reports in ssrs , when i trying to configure reporting service configuration manager, getting error" there was an error while switching panels. The most likely cause is an error retrieving wmi properties. the exception details are access is denied . You must have an administrator on the report server computer to use this tool".
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.
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
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.
We've A2k db which we plan to migrate to SQL 7.0 very soon. Though am familiar with upsizing wizard BUT don't know how to configure Access forms, reports etc. to talk to SQL back end tables. So that information entered via Access forms can be stored in sql and reports can be generated using sql tables..
What are the steps in configuring sql server 6.5 to have excellent performance? what are the items that I should think of and based on what condition I can set up the configuration?

I have a SQL Server version 7.0 and want to configure IBM DB2 on OS 390 as a linked server on it . I installed DB2 clients on the SQL Server and thru DB2 Connect ,I am able to access the mainframe data using the clients . However I am having problems configuting the Mainframe server using IBM DB2 OLE DB Driver .I am not sure if we need to use Microsoft OLE DB Driver .
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.
