them; it only takes a minute: Sign up The process could not read file 'C:\Windows\Temp\unc\snapshotname due to OS error 3 up vote 0 down vote favorite I'm trying to do a snapshot replication. My publisher and my subscriptor are http://www.sqlrepl.com/sql-server/the-process-could-not-read-file-due-to-os-error-3/ in different computers. When I open the replication monitor I see this error that is generated by the subscription, while the snapshot agent was successfully created. I read about this error, and I know that OS error number 3 means that the subscription cannot locate the folder. To solve it the path should be written as follows: \computername\sharefolder When I insert it in the snapshot path it returns me another error. The subscription is ok, but the agent returns http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17746140/the-process-could-not-read-file-c-windows-temp-unc-snapshotname-due-to-os-erro me Could not read file \computername..... access is denied. So I'm very confused, I don't know how to go on! sql replication snapshot share|improve this question asked Jul 19 '13 at 12:30 Camilla 3201722 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 2 down vote OS error 3 means path not found. OS error 5 means access is denied. You must specify a UNC network share such as \\computername\snapshot rather than a local path when using pull subscriptions and/or a remote Distributor. This is covered in Secure the Snapshot Folder. After you have create a share for the snapshot folder and updated the distributor properties to reflect this you must assign appropriate permissions to the folder. The replication agent process account must have read permissions on the snapshot share along with the other permissions described in the section Permissions That Are Required by Agents in Replication Agent Security Mode. To create a share for the snapshot folder and grant appropriate permissions follow the tutorial in Lesson 2: Preparing the Snapshot Folder. If you have anymore questions please let me know. share|improve this answer answered Jul 19 '13 at 15:29 Brandon Williams 2,871815 add a comment| up vote 0 down vote Follow these steps:- Step1: you need to check this stored procedure on your subscriber master database sp_helpserver Step2: Run this stored procedure on Subscriber Master Database..

The subscribing server is at another site and is connected via a VPN tunnel. The serverName is due to os resolvable via the hosts file. I am trying to capture the existing configuration precisely, but clearly am missing something. The error is The process could not read file '\\[server]\repldata\unc\[folder]\[folder]\[file].pre' due to OS error 5. I can RDP into the subscribing server with the distributor connection account and can access the file on the UNC share. Everyone has permissions to the UNC share and we haven't seen this problem with other subscriptions. The distribution process account is the SQL Server Agent, which I know is not best practice but matches the configuration of the existing working replication. I temporarily tried using a (local) Windows account Again, we have tried to configure the subscribing server exactly as the working server. What are we missing? We never saw this error when setting up the previous subscription. One note: the old subscription is still up and functioning, and uses the same accounts to connect to the distributor. I wonder if Access is Denied could be thrown due to a sharing conflict. sql-server replication security share|improve this question edited Apr 18 '13 at 16:24 asked Apr 18 '13 at 16:18 slachterman 248310 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 2 down vote OS error 5 means Access is denied.
