  Hi all,

  I have two SQL Server installation on two seperate machines that both ones were installed using *default instance*,I mean they are not *Named instances*.

  My question is: Is it possible to replicate between two servers? Or both should be named instances? I heared that one of the reasons that *Named instances* are preferred is that replication and SQLMail is not feasible on default not named instances.Is this true?

  -Thanks

  Yes, you can replicate between default instances.  We have set up transactional replication with no problems on default instances.
