LOCAL USER vs GLOBAL USER set in agent service

My replication is not working. I was able to create a transactional replication successfully. However, when i tried starting the agent on the snapshot, it wouldn't work. I figure that it was because my agent service login is different from that of the subscriber. my publisher and distributor is on local user whereas my subsciber sql services use our global login.

Thank you in advance. Good day!

Can you post the error message you're seeing while trying to start snapshot agent job? From that we can confirm whether the issue you're seeing is due to agent account setup. Sometimes the issue may be caused by local user doesn't have permission on network resources.

Thanks,

hi mongol

be sure the the login used by the service has an NTFS permission in the

replication shared folder

and the services has also write permission to the replication target database
