Hi
I am attempting to set up a merge pull subscription using web synchronisation, SQL Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012. I have the publisher and distributor on one server and IIS on another completely separate server, they are not on the same LAN and there is no VPN between them. I will have SQL Server 2012 Express subscribers.
Do I need a VPN between the publisher/distributor and IIS?
On my diag page https://replweb.products2web.co.uk/SQLReplication/replisapi.dll?diag CLSID_SQLReplErrors has status failed and replrec.dll classes also has status failed, with the same error code 0x80040154 for both.
I believe IIS needs to be able to see the snap shot folder and all the documentation I have read says you must use a UNC path to this, but since my servers are separate this isn't possible as they are not on the same network, which leads me to wonder if I need a VPN between them.
Thank you.
