I have a CF.NET application (C#) with a SqlCE database. We had
originally planned to use SQL Authentication to replicate with the
publication and indeed had SQL Authentication working flawlessly. Then
our client asked us to use Windows Authentication instead.
For incremental changes, Windows authentication works fine. When
trying to do the initial synchronization where the application receives
the snapshot database from the publishing database, there is trouble.
I have tested this in the PPC 2002 and 2003 emulators and on an
actually PPC device as well. I get the following error:
A call to SQL Server Reconciler failed. [,,,,,],
Source=Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Windows CE Edition,
NativeError=29006,HResult=-2147467259
The process could not deliver the snapshot to the Subscriber.,
Source=Merge Replication Provider,
NativeError=0,HResult=-2147201001
Here is difference in my code between Windows and SQL Authentication:
#if SQLAUTHENTICATION
repl.PublisherLogin = "MyLogin"; // publisher Login;
repl.PublisherPassword = "MyPassword"; // publisher Password;
repl.PublisherSecurityMode =
System.Data.SqlServerCe.SecurityType.DBAuthentication;
#else
repl.PublisherSecurityMode =
System.Data.SqlServerCe.SecurityType.NTAuthentication;
#endif
As far as I know, I have properly configured the snapshot IIS folder
with the correct permissions for IIS_MachineName (for anonymous-Sql
Authentication) and also with the domain users for Windows
Authentication. The domain users are also in the Publication Access
List.
The bottom line is that in for Windows Authentication I am not able to
receive the snapshot from the publishing database on the first
synchronization. However, I am able to do incremental synchronization
through Windows Authentication. And I have no problems with SQL
Authenication (via the anonymous user).
I am stumped by the "process could not deliver the snapshot to the
Subscriber" error. Have any of you encountered this situation before,
and if so, how did you resolve it?
Thanks,

I had the same problem:

The snapshot location was incorrectly set in the replication properties

the Replication wizard defaults the snapshot directory to something like:

\\ServerName\C$\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\ReplData

If you have specified a different directory you will need to set the properties to something like:

\\ServerName\SnapShotDirectory

in Enterprise Manager (EM) you would find this under

-Tools -Replication -Configure Publishing...

select the [Publishers Tab]

select the [...] elipsis of the distrubtion db and set the snapshot folder in there.

That's what worked for me 🙂

The Problem is not with the code its with the security settings of the reconciler dll location that you have on the desktop computer. try to check those setttings that might solve your problem. sorry to respond late and vague. Its been long time I tried out replication on handheld devices.
