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_note0 9186a00801d11a6.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.
