Use this same account to run the Agent service on all machines involved in replication. This will minimize security related issues in the replication process. IF you are unsure how to do this, execute "services.msc" (without the quotes ) in a run or CMD window,scroll down to SQL SERVER AgentYou will see a column that states the account the service is running under. You can change it here by accessing the properties dialogue.Hope this helps.Fri, 02 Nov 2012 12:02:15 GMTmmartin1http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1378023-148-1.aspxHi Thanks for your reply and I was trying it for Transactional Replication on the single machine (P/D-one instance and S on different).So request you to explain the relevant logins and their relevance.(Though I've done or able to run the same somehow)Rgds/RamanThu, 01 Nov 2012 22:19:42 GMTraman.gulatihttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1378023-148-1.aspxIt is suggested you use a single domain account for all SQL server agents, a domain admin to allow access to share folders. Make sure it has 'log on as a service' on all machines. What type of a replication set up are you using? Are all machines on the same domain?
