SQL Server - Transactional Replication - Configuring distributor

As mentioned in my previous post, In this post, let us see step by step tutorial in configuring distributor at server 1

In SSMS - > Under Object Explorer - > Replication - > right-click Configure Distribution...


Here we are going to configure server to be a Distributor which can be used by other Publishers.



Configure Server1 as distributor:




Provide distribution database name & path:




This snapshot folder does not support pull subscriptions created at the Subscriber.
It is not a network path or it is a drive letter mapped to a network path.

Click Add and map to server 2 which is going to be configured as Publisher:



Provide Password:
