This problem only applies to Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 Service Pack 2.
CAUSE
The destination does not have the local server name set correctly.
To verify the server name run the following query from Query Analyzer:
select @@servername
If the query returns "Null" the local server name is not set correctly.
WORKAROUND
If the server name exists, but is not identified as the local server, then you must run the following queries to resolve the issue:
sp_dropserver 'servername'
go
sp_addserver 'servername', local
If the server name does not exist you must run the following query to resolve the issue:
sp_addserver 'servername', local
For the name change to become effective, you must stop and restart the SQL Server service.
