I created a new Publication of 2 tables - set it up as transactional replication - continuous log reading.   I basically took all of the defaults in the wizard. The log reader job starts - then bounces from starting to retrying for 15 mins or so before failing. I do not see any errors in the sql server or replication log.  The only error I can find is in the application event log for the job itself: SubSystem Message - Job 'TestDB-TestDB-8' (0x64C7317E150D984198AA5473511F6558), step 2 - Server execution failedcan anyone help????</description><pubDate>Sat, 22 Sep 2012 08:29:14 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Dennis-214270</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
