Parameters
- distributionServerName
Type: System.String
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
Type: System.String
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.
