Remarks

DistributorName is a required property and must be set before the subscription is created on the server. Once the subscription registration exists on the server, the DistributorName property cannot be changed.

The DistributorName property can only be retrieved by members of the sysadmin fixed server role at the Subscriber or by members of the db_owner fixed database role on the subscription database.

The DistributorName property can only be set by members of the sysadmin fixed server role at the Subscriber or by members of the db_owner fixed database role on the subscription database.

Retrieving the DistributorName property is equivalent to executing sp_helppullsubscription (Transact-SQL) or sp_helpmergepullsubscription (Transact-SQL).

Setting the DistributorName property is equivalent to executing sp_addpullsubscription (Transact-SQL) or sp_addmergepullsubscription (Transact-SQL).

The DistributorName property is available with SQL Server 7.0, SQL Server 2000, and SQL Server 2005.
