Since replicating large amounts of data on very busy servers, may require a set up a dedicated box to be our distribution database and thinking of the future, I would like to setup a dedicated server for distribution database. I have 3 servers, sqlserver 5 which will be distributor database, sqlserver 3 which will be the publisher and sqlserver 4 is the Subscriber. What would be my steps to create this enviroment? Is this possible in sqlserver 2008R2 ?
Tried the above process already and error states Database 'distribution' does not exist. Make sure the name is entered correctly. Changed database context to 'dbname'(Microsoft SQL Server, Error 911). I created distribution database on server 5 and tried to create the publication database on server 3 where the databases already exist and was planning to create subscriber database in sqlserver4.So failed to create the publication database
