From ee62c0cb2ea0a113c7dbef845fbbaa652c2a538b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: howarthcd Date: Wed, 8 Oct 2025 11:43:48 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Update configure-distributed-availability-groups.md Clarified the terminology around endpoints. The term 'listener' was being used in reference to an endpoint, but there was the possibility that the use of this term could cause confusion as the term 'listener' is more commonly associated with the Availability Group listener. --- .../configure-distributed-availability-groups.md | 14 +++++++------- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/database-engine/availability-groups/windows/configure-distributed-availability-groups.md b/docs/database-engine/availability-groups/windows/configure-distributed-availability-groups.md index bfc4318488f..0d8875b00bc 100644 --- a/docs/database-engine/availability-groups/windows/configure-distributed-availability-groups.md +++ b/docs/database-engine/availability-groups/windows/configure-distributed-availability-groups.md @@ -33,13 +33,13 @@ To configure a distributed availability group, you must have the following: Requires **CREATE AVAILABILITY GROUP** permission on the server to create an availability group and `sysadmin` to fail over a distributed availability group. -## Set the endpoint listeners to listen to all IP addresses +## Set the database mirroring endpoints to listen on all IP addresses -Make sure the endpoints can communicate between the different availability groups in the distributed availability group.
