The process could not connect to Distributor ..

  • Hi Everybody,

    I am configaring the Snapshot replication. I have Publication and distribution on the same NT server. I had created a NT user 'testUser' and assigned it to the administrator group. Now, the Sql Server Agent service is running on this 'Testuser' account. This is generating the snapshot articals with no problem.

    I have another NT server, here i configured the Publication SQL server in client network utility with sql authentification. And I am able to connect to sql server no problem at all.

    Now I am creating the Pull Subscription on this server. Here also I created a new NT user 'testPull' and added to the NT administrator group. TheSql Server Agent service is running on this account. When I try to synchronize the data from Pull Subscription this is giving me error "The process could not connect to Distributor 'TEST_18'. The step failed."

    But when I runs the Sql Server agent on Administrator user it works fine.

    What is the reason. I don't want the administrator user on both the machines.

    Please give me the soultion.....

    Its very very very URGENT

    Waiting for reply

  • Obviously permissions. You can turn on verbose logging to get more info about what is going on. The account you're using for the pull has to have access to Distribution I believe. Don't use pull often, would have to double check.
