Rebecca Lewis runs into a permissions error:
I received an email from a customer yesterday regarding their Replication, which began failing with this error after Windows updates were applied:
Message Replication-Replication Transaction-Log Reader Subsystem: agent servername-xxx2 failed. Executed as user: domainname\svcaccount. A required privilege is not held by the client. The step failed.
Slightly dummied, but the important content is in red. What does that mean? ‘A required privilege is not held by the client’… he didn’t change anything, I didn’t change anything – why is Replication suddenly failing with permissions problems?
