We recently migrated our databases to new hardware by building a new server, installing SQL with the same file locations for system databases, moving the storage to the new server thereby replacing the old drives / files, starting SQL. We have done this many times with great success. In this instance though we have some jobs, all replication related, that show the following error;
"Unable to start execution of step 1 (reason: The Distribution subsystem failed to load [see the file for details]; The job has been suspended). The step failed."
We also get the following;
"SQLServerAgent Error: Request to run job JobName (from User ABC\gumby) refused because the job has been suspended. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 22022)"
I have tried the solution at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=914171 with no success.
Any insight anyone has would be greatly appreciated.
