I am in the process of creating Replication between 2 Remote Servers, server 1 is the Distributor and Publisher and server 2 is the Subscription.
server 1 windows 2003 server 192.168.10.1 connected by vpn SQL Server 2005 domain1.local
server 1
windows 2003 server
192.168.10.1 connected by vpn
SQL Server 2005
domain1.local
server 2 windows 2003 server 192.168.10.6 connected by vpn SQL Server 2005 domain2.local
server 2
windows 2003 server
192.168.10.6 connected by vpn
SQL Server 2005
domain2.local
When I setup up Replication everything looked fine until I looked at the sync status and it said:
The Agent could not be started
An exception occurred while executing a transact-sql statement or batch
sqlserveragent error request to run job
server1-username blah blah blah
From user sa refused because the job is already running from a request by user sa changed database context to technical error 22022.
I have cleared jobs in the server agent as well as restarted the service.
Could this be something to do with authentication between two non trusted domains as I can browse and even control each sql server via SQL studio but just not setup replication?
Yes I can manage each SQL Server in SSMS and we are using merge with snapshot.
