Hello,
Hopefully someone could help clarify if this is possible as search has returned similar questions but not exactly what im after.
I have the following -
SQLServerA.domain1.com (Publisher and Distributor)
Publisher Connection using a SQL account "SQLReplication"
Log Reader and Snapshot running as SQL Server Agent Account
SQLServerB.domain2.com (Subscriber)
Publisher Connection using a SQL account "SQLReplication"
Log Reader and Snapshot running as SQL Server Agent Account
There is no trust between domain1.com and domain2.com however there are DNS forwarders configured. I understand that the Subscriber cannot connect to a Publisher by a name other than the one returned by @@SERVERNAME so I have aliased it on the subscriber.
I have created the Publication (also changing the snapshot folder to be a share eg \\SQLServerA.domain1.com\repldata) and Subscription without error in the process.
The problem comes up when I try to run the Subscription job (to do its first initialization) that it cant connect. I have even tried granting Everyone Share and Security permissions on the snapshot folder (as a test), and it still failed (I expected
this to resolve the issue).
Anyone any ideas or can I ONLY use FTP?
Thanks,
Peter
