Subscriber connection problem

  • Hello,

    I have created a transactional replication database and trying to connect the subscriber. When I try to connect, I get an error "SQL server agent could not access the replication agent. Use the DCOMCNFG utility". I have tried using the SA as well as a SQLADMIN account that I created on both the publisher and the subscriber server.

    Is this a security issue, and if so, what settings changes do I need to have on both the publisher and subscriber?

    Thanks for your help

  • I haven't seen that particular error before.  Are both servers on the same domain ? If so, is your SQLADMIN account a windows account or SQL account ?   I always use windows accounts unless I'm spanning domains, then I set up a SQL login that has the same password on both machines.

  • The network is pretty small, so I am using a workgroup rather than a domain. Both servers are on the same workgroup - when ever I try to connect from one server to the other via SQL server I still get the error unable to connect to the database.
