Remarks

For Microsoft® SQL Server™, replication Publishers are not required to also distribute published data. One or more instances of SQL Server may act as Distributors. If the Publisher data is not its own Distributor, it relies on a connection to an identified Distributor.

If TRUE, the instance of SQL Server can successfully connect to its identified Distributor.

If FALSE, the instance of SQL Server cannot successfully connect to its identified Distributor.

The property is always TRUE for instances of SQL Server that distribute their own publications.
