Hi,

I'm trying to create a snapshot folder/distributor on my 'local' server. I get an eror message saying that the path is not valid or that the folder is refering to a file. Both assumptions are untrue. I have also given the REPLDATA folder sharing rights for the SQLSERVERAGENT domain user.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks

Michael

Remember for Local server you will still need to provide a full pathname for your computer (//mylocalmachine/c:/sharedfolder). If you simply put c:/mysharedfolder it will attempt to place it on the c drive of the server.

Thats my only guess... I'm taking a look at your other post too.. I'll post on it when I get a bit more info. It's an interesting set up you have

Mmmm, it's a very interesting setup. Struggling with legacy systems. With regards to problem - I am providing full path name. Could it be that I've split log files on to another drive ? Can't think that it is though.
