Hi Everyone,
I try to implement transactional replication but I got the following error

The process could not read file '\\192.168.X.XXX\replication_test\unc\DEV$Test_REP\20080331143817\test_2.pre' due to OS error 5.

I set publisher and distributor on the same machine. I use pull ssubscribption.

I have checked google and someone has mentioned that it's related to account issue. But my subscription server is not in domain. so what account should I set?

Thank you in advance,

sodeep

You need to have domain account setup for replication to work. Doesn't work in local system account

You can go SQL server configuration manager,change account to Domain a/c from local system account.But you need to restart the services. Donot do if your subscribers is running production.

You can't start sql with domain account if server is not in domain.

>> SO if my servers are not in domain, is there workaround?

If they are in same workgroup, can try create windows account with same id/pwd on all related servers then start sql with that account.
