Trying to set up a server as a distributor but I'm getting an error back: "error 18483 Could not connect to server JCPW2DV01 because 'distributor_admin' is not defined as a remote login at the server" My first thought was that it was a permissions issue to the server. So, I created a local login caled distributor_admin and made it an admin to the server. Then, for SQL, I used this same login and made it SA. Yes, it's redundent, but I figured it couldn't hurt. After trying this, I still get the same problem. I'm stuck. Any help, as always, is appreciated.

Use this procedure sp_addremotelogin, to add remote login on the local server. Refer BOL for detail. Hope this will help.

Thank you. I tried that too, but that wasn't it. Here's what the problem was. Way back in September the server was renamed from JCPNT001 to JCPW2DV01 but SQL was never updated with this new name. Once we ran sp_addserver and rebooted I went through it no problem. That was one hell of a day.
