Replication between SQL 2000 and SQL 2005

  • I have a sql 2000 sp4 standard edition publisher, sql 2005 sp3 standard edition distributor, and a sql 2005 enterprise edition subscriber. I am trying to setup transactional replication but keep getting errors in the snapshot agent. the following is the error:

    Error messages:

    Has anyone seen this error and is there a fix?

  • Did you use SS 2005 to create the publicatin and subscription? To go from 2K to 2K5, you must use the 2K5 SSMS to create everything.

    Also, make sure that you have setup the system password for replication to use when talking between the sections.

  • I did you sql2k5 management studio and the password is setup correctly.
