In case of use Remote Distributor, whether is an obligatory condition the connection between the publisher and subscriber (more particularly in such configuration I on the subscriber can not specify that such server is for him the publisher, accordingly process distribution gives out error:37000 [Microsoft] [ODBC SQL Server Driver] [SQL Server] Login failed- User: repl_publisher Reason: Remote server 'MyServer' is not defined as a publisher., but with Distributor the publication passes!)
Though on logic it has absolutely n to have connection with the publisher!
