You receive an "Error 14114: (NULL) is not configured as a distributor" error message when you try to set up a SQL Server server as a distributor for replication
This article was previously published under Q302223
When you try to set up a SQL Server server as a distributor for replication, the following error message may occur:
Error 14114:(NULL) is not configured as a distributor
The error message appears because there is not an entry for the local server in the
sysservers table in the
master database.
To verify that there is no entry for the local server in the
sysservers table in the
master database, connect to the local server and run "select @@servername" from Query Analyzer. If a (NULL) is returned, then an entry for the local server does not exist in the
sysservers table in the
master database.
To correct the problem, use these steps:
- Run this code:
use master
go
select * from sysservers
go
- Identify the name of the local server in the list. If the name exists, and the server id is anything other than 0, run the following statement and replace "yourservername" with the name of the local server:
sp_dropserver 'yourservername','droplogins'
- Add the local server back to the list by running this code:
sp_addserver 'localservername', 'local'
