Hi Friends,

We have a production server(SQL 2005) which has configured Snapshot Replication to run once in a week.There is an open transaction which is initiated by "NT Authority\System user" after very few seconds the server started, which is trying to execute a SP called "sp_MSget_last_transaction" against the Distribution database.

I have tried giving the "db_owner" permissions to the NT Authority\System user,but it did not work.

Last eve,we have restarted the server,luckily the open transaction closed.
But to my surprise,the same transaction is started with a different SPID exactly as above mentioned.

The transaction is still open,and repeatedly(once in a minute) trying to execute the SP and a login failure occurs and the error written to the Error log.

Due to this the error log unnecessarily growing.

Any ideas../ Suggestions..?

Thanks in advance.
