Replication - Issues with turning on SQL Agent on Local Machine

Question

Hello,

I want to learn more about replication and want to turn it on for my local copy of SQL2008. I watched one video that said I can create a publication on my local machine and then replicate to a different database on the same machine. Their example works and I want to try it.

Is there anything I should be concerned about regarding turning on SQL Agent?

Thanks in advance,

Randy

Answer 1

I have done replication (for test purposes) on a laptop with 2 GB of RAM and it has worked perfectly.

I have not encountered any issues with turning SQL Agent ON either.
