Created a map service that contains a feature class that has a joined table. This feature class labels fine in the MXD but does not label when posted as a map service. Under further investigation, the label field name gets changed to a local name not a fully qualified name. For example, FULL_ADD is in the map service while sde.sde.FULL_ADD in in the map document. Does anybody have a fix or work around? I would prefer not to add the same layer to the MXD just to label.

One possibility I can think of is that your SDE geodatabase hasn't been registered with ArcGIS Server. So ArcGIS Server just copies the data to a file geodatabase on the server, which makes the field name like that. If so, register your SDE geodatabase, and republish the map service.

SDE has been registered inside of ArcGIS Server using Manager. All fully qualified field names appear when viewing the service under REST.

Still have not found an answer to this issue. What I have observed is that when you publish a MXD using Share As inside of ArcMap, the MXD is copied before the SD is created. Opening this copy, I have noticed that the label field name gets truncated from a fully qualified name to the short name. I have only tested under Server 10.1. Has any one else noticed this issue?
