Remarks
The following are not allowed as the SystemName value: localhost, ., an IP address, or any string containing a backslash character.
In Notification Services Standard Edition, the SystemName elements for the hosted event providers, generator, and distributor must be identical. In other editions, the SystemName values can be different, meaning that instance components can be distributed across multiple computers.
Placing multiple distributors on the same computer does not improve distribution performance. If your application uses multiple distributors, you must specify a different SystemName value for each distributor.
Example
The following example shows how to specify that the distributor will run on the server CPANDL.
<SystemName>CPANDL</SystemName>
