  Hello,

  I am a complete SQL replication novice. I am using RMO to replicate data across the web. I have set up both the publisher (server on my domain) and the subscriber (webserver, not on the domain). The IIS process was set up on a separate server to the two servers detailed above and that process worked with no problems. I can web browse to the repl.dll with no problems.

  I do have a problem whenever I click to start the synchronization process on the webserver. The error message below appears

  A failure occurred when accessing 'snapshot.pre' due to an operating system error [3=''] during Web synchronization. Ensure that the -InternetLogin user when using basic authentication and the user running the merge when using Windows integrated authentication has been granted access to the snapshot share.

  I have placed full permission to the everyone group on the snapshot share.

  If anyone has any guidance on this please let me know.

  Thanks

  Brian.

  I would guess that as a minimum, the subscriber needs to be able to browse to snapshot.pre, and download it.

  Can it do this ?
