Replication in Local System-HOW?

Hi,
I'm new to Replication and before i start doing it in the LIVE environment,i
need to learn it first and test the same on my Local machine.I'm aware
that,if the Registration is done as "LOCAL",the Repliaction will not
work.But,unfortunately,the registration on my machine is Local.Can some one
suggest as how should i start playing with Replication and have some hands-o
n
with it. Kindly help me.
Thanks,
shyamHi Shyam
I think you're referring to the message that Enterprise Manager pops up when
you try to use the Replication dialogs, right?
If so, all you need to do is unregister the instances in Enterprise Manager
& re-register it using the computer name, rather than "local" or " . ".. It
should work from there.
I use Replication regularly on default instances, whilst logged onto the
local machine this way...
