merge replication - can't create snapshot - timeout - sql server 2008
===



I have a SQL Server 2008 database, and I need a mergereplication because i want to sync with mobile devices afterwards.

So I created a replication but when it comes to start the snapshotagent, the agent tries to start for about 20 minutes and then it shows the message

> The replication agent has not logged a progress message in 10 minutes.
> This might indicate an unresponsive agent or high system activity.
> Verify that records are being replicated to the destination and that
> connections to the Subscriber, Publisher, and Distributor are still
> active.

There aren't any other errormessages, neither in the snapshot-agent-status-window nor in the agent-log-window.

I don't have the administrator of the domain, but the local administrator and a domainuser with admin-privilegs. Both have all rights to database, are in the access-list of the replication.

The server agent runs on the local administrator-account and there are 3 MergeReplications on the server, working

The job runs also under the local administrator.


Thank you for your help, Karl
