Home Forums SQL Server 2005 SS2K5 Replication Relication Subscription Wizard Failed to Connect to Server mydbname\mssqlserver01 RE: Relication Subscription Wizard Failed to Connect to Server mydbname\mssqlserver01

    Found the solution:

    Go to SQL Server Configuration Manager of your client computer (In my case one in the corporate network)

    Select SQL Native Client Configuration

    Select Aliases

    Add a new alias:

    Alias Name: mydbname\mssqlserver01 (this is remote server and instance name)

    Port Number: 1433 (which is default port)

    ProtocolL TCP/IP

    Alias Server: IP address of the server

    Save it. There is no need to restart any thing.

    Try now creating subscription and add mydbname\mssqlserver01 as server name. Magic.

    🙂

    This is worked fine!!! Thanks a lot used in replication between 2012 and 2008!!
