SA user (even though mentioned in that article) is not ever to be used.
Use local authentication instead - will work every time - even between
boxes.
And yes - SQL replication is broken on all of our Subscribers in every
pod - and that is no accident! :)
It is there as an "inherent troubleshooting" task - which is a
testable 'topic' in the lab - so beware - things may not always be as
they seem on the surface!

Hi there folks!
I’m after any thoughts\tips on checking the sql replication’s all
good before you start you lab configs (virtual and real).
My last couple of vrack sessions I’ve had lots of probs with this.
The replication is never setup and running at the start of the vrack
sessions so I update lmhosts (checked the cache is good), check
connectivity etc, and then tried the following procedure:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_tech_note09186a00801d11a6.shtml
for the sa account pwrd I’m trying cisco and blank, I’ve reset these
on both boxes aswell, same. Seems to me like some sort of
authentication issue.
I’ve even put dblhelper on the box & that can’t sort it & this
always works a treat in the field!!
So I guess my questions are:
What check do you folks do to check the replication (add a dev &
check the device table?)
What procedure do you follow to get the replication up and running
at the start of your vrack sessions (proctorlabs.com)?
Is this a ‘task’ for all proctorlab vrack sessions only? (is this
just a vmare ‘feature’?)
In the real lab would we be expected to do this kind of sql
troubleshooting, reseting sa pwrds, assigning roles etc in SQL?
What am I missing!!?
Any help’d be appreciated.
Cheers,
