I have set up a publication but can't get the snapshot agent to start. I get
the message:
The replication agent encountered a failure. See the previous job step
history message or Replication Monitor for more information. The step failed.

There is no usable information at the suggersted locations. I believe a
failed earlier attempt is my problem. Where do I start looking to
troubleshoot?

I have found my problem.

The publication was not marked as active.
