Hi,

I have an application that use a stupid replication with source and target database on the same server.

Now I want to test my restore plan and I want to use a dev server.

Every time when I want to install replication a red x sign appear on the Replication Monitor.
I don’t have this problem on the prod server. Somebody can tell me where the mistake is.
The only one difference that I see is that I use win 2000 professional on the dev server and win 2003 on the prod server.

Many thanks!

When a red x appears on the Replication Monitor, you will find a failed job assosciated with it. Check out that failed job to determine what the problem is.

just to wanted to say that some problems are resolved by this approach, especially if you need to
1. protect databases from each other
2. maintain "system" tables easier
