Replication - SQLServer Agent uses System Account

When I try to set up replication on my local box, I receive the error - 'SQLServer Agent uses the System Account, which causes replication between the server to fail'.

Why does this happen and would any posters know how I can overcome this :)

Thanks,

Bianca

Bianca,
When using replication, the SQL Agent must have rights on all servers involved. The local system account can only access the local server. You should run your SQL services using a domain account that has rights on both servers.
