I want to send snap shots by DVD to a SQL2000 server from SQL2005. This config is replicating fine using trans replication with the publisher and distibuter on the source SQL2005 server. I am using push subscription to the SQL2000 server.
I now need to create snap shots on the SQL 2005 server that I can send to the SQL2000 server using DVD. I know how to create the snap shot on the SQL2005 server but I cannot find any way to use it on the SQL2000 target server.
Can anyone tell me how to do this
Thanks
Phil

copy the entire path from repldata down to the dvd. IN SSMS, create the pull subscription as normal but do not synchronize it immediately. Once it is create, right click on the subscription, select properties, then subscription properties, and in the snapshot text box enter the path like this q:\repldata, where q is your dvd drive.

Thanks for the info. I cannot create a pull subscription on the SQL2000 server from the SQL2005 server as Enterprise manager will not connect to SQL2005. I get an error on registering the server DMO must be used.
Any idea how to get round this

Connect to your subscriber in SQL Server Management Studio and pull it there.
