Message Text

Could not connect to server ‘%.ls’ because ‘%.ls’ is not defined as a remote login at the

server. Verify that you have specified the correct login name. %.*ls.

This error occurs when you try to configure a replication distributor on a system that was

restored using the hard disk image of another computer where the SQL instance was originally

installed. An error message similar to the following is reported to the user:

Management Studio could not configure '' as the

Distributor for ''. Error 18483: Could not connect to server ’

’ because ‘distributor_admin’ is not defined as a remote login at the server.

Verify that you have specified the correct login name. %.*ls.

When you deploy SQL Server from a hard disk image of another computer where SQL Server is

installed, the network name of the imaged computer is retained in the new installation. The

incorrect network name causes the configuration of the replication distributor to fail. The same

problem occurs if you rename the computer after SQL Server is installed.
