Hey all,
I have a sql 2008 R2 instance that I'm attempting to setup replication of several tables to a SQL 2012 server in a different domain . I need to use a push subscription because the domains are connected using a one way trust. I've configured the publishing and distribution properties on my 2008 instance and also created a local publication. I next tried to create a local subscription (push) to the outside machine. When I open the subscribers dialogue I see my current server. If I click add a subscriber and input the fully qualified server name and credentials I get the error message
SQL Server replication requires the actual server name to make a connection to the server. Connections through a server alias, IP address, or any other alternate name are not supported. Specify the actual server name, 'WAREHOUSE'. (Replication.Utilities)
Not sure what the problem is. It seems I can't get the new subscriber dialogue to see the outside machine. I'm able to add the server as a linked server and access the data but it seems to fail as the endpoint of a push subscription.
This is my first foray into replication across domains so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
