Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.Rmo (in microsoft.sqlserver.rmo.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub InstallDistributor ( _
    distributionServerName As String, _
    password As String _
)

public void InstallDistributor (
    string distributionServerName,
    string password
)

public:
void InstallDistributor (
    String^ distributionServerName, 
    String^ password
)

public void InstallDistributor (
    String distributionServerName, 
    String password
)

public function InstallDistributor (
    distributionServerName : String, 
    password : String
)

Parameters

distributionServerName
A String value that specifies the name of the remote server to be used as the Distributor for the current Publisher server. The distribution server name cannot be the same as the current server.

password
A String value that specifies the password. This is the same value used when calling InstallDistributor at the Distributor.

Remarks

This method must be called from a Publisher to register the remote Distributor. If the Publisher and Distributor are on the same server, you should not call this method.

Before calling InstallDistributor(String,String), you must have called InstallDistributor(String,DistributionDatabase) at the Distributor.

The InstallDistributor method can only be called by a member of the sysadmin fixed server role.

The InstallDistributor method is equivalent to executing the sp_adddistributor (Transact-SQL) stored procedure at the Publisher to register a remote Distributor.

This namespace, class, or member is supported only in version 2.0 of the .NET Framework.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Microsoft Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
