I'm trying to publish a database and when I get to the end of the wizard, I
am greeted by this message:
SQL Server Enterprise Manager could not configure 'SERVERNAME' as the
Distributor for 'SERVERNAME'.
Error 18483: Could not connect to server 'SERVERNAME' because
'distributor_admin' is not defined as a remote login at the server.
The MS articles did not help me. Can someone, please?

sp_dropserver @.@.servername

sp_addserver @.@.servername, 'local'

|||I tried this, and used MS article 818334. I found that the SQL Server Name
was not the same as the Computer Name. However, when I try and drop the SQL
server name, I get a message stating that the SQL server does not exist.
So, I cannot rename my SQL Server 2000 server. What now?

|||Hi,
is the login used to configure the publication a member of the 'system administrators'? I had a similar problem when creating a pull subscription and this solved it!
