Replication and Different Domains

Hi guys,
We have a client who wants to set up the publisher (for merge
resplication) on a particular domain, but the subscribers will be on a
different domain. Is this even possible?
The main question was about the snapshot folder location. Is there a way
for the subscriber to get access to the folder being on a different domain?
Thanks,
Maer
You could have a look at
http://www.replicationanswers.com/InternetArticle.asp for details of
non-trusted setup. If there is a posibility of setting up a trust (or VPN)
then things are pretty straightforward.

Replication across domains ...

I need information on setting up replication across domains. What kind of
gotchas there are, what kind of trust relationships need to exist. All the
gory details.
Any links to resources would be most helpful.

use passthrough authentication, i.e. same account names and passwords and it
will work fine.

Replication accross Domains?

Hello,
Can replication be set up between two servers in different domains? What if
they are in the same forest?
Regards,
Randy.
Randy,
if the domains are trusted (same forest = 2-way trust as you know), then
things are pretty much transparent. If there is no trust, then this article
should help: http://www.replicationanswers.com/InternetArticle.asp

|||It is possible. Are you able to register the subscriber as a Subscriber on
the Publisher? An easy way to do this is to use SQL Authentication. If you
are using a pull subscription its a no brainier beyond this. If you are
using Push with a UNC, the SQL Server agent on the subscriber must have
rights to access the snapshot share. An easy way to fix this is to create a
local machine account on the publisher with the same name and password as
the account you are using for your SQL Server agent account on the
Subscriber. Place this account in the administrators group on the Publisher
if you are using the default snapshot share - otherwise give this account
read and list files and folders rights to the file and folders underlying
the snapshot share.
