Distribution Agent connection failed. HELP..

  • Can any expert help me regarding to the connection problem.

    i have a publisher and distributor using the same machine. From the publisher where having only one publication with several articals.

    i create a push subscription for that publication.

    Snapshot agent can create the articals

    ** Distribution Agent is not able to synchorise the articals to the subscriber

    ERROR message : The Process cannot connect to the subscriber "SubscriberName"

    I can register the subscriber on the EM

    The subscriber is SQL 2000 desktop engine

    if the subscriber is SQL personal edition , there is fine.

    Can i know, when distribution agent connect to subscriber, it use Windows auth or SQL login ?

  • It can use either. Easiest way to see which you're using is to check the job for the distribution agent. It has the option to specify a userid/password if you want to go that route. Also has a logging switch you can use to write output to a file for debugging.
