  Hi Folks,

  Anyone seen this type of error below? The database appeared to be okay no user complaints, the error only arose when I tried to access the replication tools (this is the publisher with 3 subscribers). It is installed on a virtual environment. Rebooting the server fixes the problem but it appears to be a recurring problem. The path is odd as it is installed on C:\ but somehow references the VM URL? Do I need to do a registry hack somewhere to tell it where SQL lives?

  ..<edit> and I just realised this is in the wrong forum, sorry. Its SQL server 2008 R2.

  Thanks in advance for any advice,

  Peter
