You should use Service Account to configure Replication,Logshipping... Thanks, Prabhakaran MS SQL Server DBA
You have to create a Windows Service account with Admin rights in domain after that Configure that Service account to use to run sqlserver,sqlserver agent services. Thanks, Prabhakaran MS SQL Server DBA
First of all post the exact error message what you are getting.. I don't think you need to have domain account.... you can create sql login with dbo rights on subscriber and configure the subscriber to use the sql log created with dbo rights.. MohammedU.
