Before you start RSM Server, make sure that:

The sql.ini file contains an entry for the RSM Server and for each server you want the RSM to manage. See the Replication Server Installation Guide for Windows for information about the interfaces file.
The login you use to start RSM Server has read and write access to RSM Server configuration files.
The login has access to an interfaces file that contains an entry for the RSM Server and an entry for each server you want the RSM to manage.
