sql server replication: Got the error and not too sure why

"The subscription(s) have been marked inactive and must be reinitialized.
NoSync subscriptions will need to be dropped and recreated."

Its strange.. A lot of my subscriptions have been throwing the error of late
on a particular server.

Why does it happen ? I know the distribution agents have been running or
should be running . Its too late now to find out as its already errored out

Do let me know all possible reason for why it may occur. Using transactional
replication with SQL 2000

History retention period of what ? Are you referring to the no. of hrs ,
commands remain in the distribution db if they do not get distributed ? If
so, i believe its the default of 72 hrs

what is your history retention period? If it is less than your retention
this can trigger the error.

Right click on Replication Monitor, select Distributor Properties, click the
properties button. Note the History Retention group. Set it there.

There is 72 hrs for transaction retention and 48 hrs for history retention
..

But I dont understand what needs to trigger to inactivate ?

Hilary,
I understand the transaction retention period. Whats the history period
about .. and how would that affect replication even if its past the 48 hrs.
It says it keeps track of replication performance. What peformance does it
keep track of and where ?

A subscriber is expired when the either the history or the transaction
retention period is elapsed.

You may be bumping into this problem.
