I am setting the log shipping on the 2 servers (SQL 2008R2) where both server at located at different remote area.
Using wizard, when I select the 2n server and click the connection button to connect to that server, i hit the error.
Here is the error :
Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
FYI, the OPTION button was disabled and this was not allow me to change setting of the timeout (in second). If the timeout to be able set to longer, I believe that the connection will be ok. Any alternative way for allow me to change this timeout setting?
What is the reason for this error it could happend? FYI, this 2nd server is new setup server and it was setup is purely for the logshipping purpose only. No other application others then SQL.
Thanks
