Hello - We are testing out our DR plan and ofcourse everything that could go wrong is going wrong! We are trying to simulate Merge replication from a SQL Server 2008 R2 standard edition onto a SQL Server 2005 Compact edition and we get the following error message. The exact same test scenario works absolutely fine in our production environment! We have checked pretty much everything between PROD and DR server and things are exactly the same. Any ideas or thoughts?
TIA

If using Web synchronization, the merge process may have been unable to create or write to the message file. When troubleshooting, restart the synchronization with verbose history logging and specify an output file to which to write

Hi,
Could you able to locate the UNC path from Run?? if you can able to locate the UNC path by \\unc\<your path> , then you can say its being properly shared with relevant folder permissions.
