The DistributorNetwork property must be specified when the SQL Server Reconciler connects to the Distributor by using a network protocol other than the default protocol specified in Client Network Utility. Otherwise, the DistributorNetwork is optional. If none of the Distributor connection properties are specified, it is assumed the Publisher and Distributor are on the same instance of SQL Server, and the Publisher connection properties are used when connecting to the Distributor. However, if you set any one of the Distributor connection properties, you must set all the required properties.

The DistributorAddress property must be specified if the value of DistributorNetwork is not DEFAULT_NETWORK (default).
