Hi-
We are encountering both the errors above.
I've tried
using a domain user account for the Log Reader an Snapshot Agents that
has perms on both DB's on source and destination servers - db_Owner.
The SQL Server and SQL Agent services run as system account.
Set DB Ownership in Files Tab to "sa" and have switch to domain account above.
Also set all the SQL Agent Jobs for replication to sa and to domain user and still getting the "connect from distributor error."
And this mesg:
"The job failed. The Job was invoked by User sa. The last step to run was step 1 (Run agent.)."
Found that Sev 14 State 11 means that the account/login "should" be good - but maybe the password or perms are to blame?
Can someone tell us where a domain user account needs to be entered for proper replication to happen?
And if SQL Services, Agents, Scheduled jobs, etc can all be run as one user to simplify the process?
We
can't seem to connect to the other server with our subscriber and get
the published DB replicated to our source from destination server.
Does the unc replication folder need to be shared(are perms set automatically?)?
The file sizes for the DB(mdf) and log(ldf) files are static and don't appear to be growing or increasing.
Thanks for any help.
