The following error occurs whenever I attempt to start the distribution task which starts up using login &#39;repl_subscriber&#39; ---> 28000[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] Login failed <--- Now, I have publishing/subscriber operations going on with other SQL Servers and they are working. I am able to use ISQL/W and connect using repl_subscriber, sa, Administrator, repl_publisher from either of the 2 SQL Servers involved with the problem. All SQL Servers (4) are running 6.5; (3) have SP5a applied. (1) has only 6.5 w/o any SP applied. ODBCPING works fine to both SQL Servers involved using sa, Administrator, repl_subscriber, repl_publisher logins. All logins are set to using &#39;US_English&#39; as the default language. All are in the same NT Domain. All are using named pipes for the default client library --- of the 2 involved, the named pipes versions are not the same. All are configured for Standard Login security. Does anyone know exactly what I am missing?
