I have a pull subscription setup from one server to another. I get this message in the Job History when running the agent...

Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'.

Why is it attempting to logon with this user? I have the security setting to impersonate the SQL Server Agent account. Under teh SQL Agent properties I have "Use System Account" enabled on both the subscriber/publisher.

When I setup a pull subscription on the same server as the publisher/distributor, I do not have this problem.

I get the same error when attempting a push subscription the other server on th subscription login step.

I am logged into windows with the same domain sysadmin password. This account is in the publication access list, and has access to the distribution database.

Distributor login does not fail if I set the agent to login as sa user.
