Dear friends,
Please help me.

I am trying to replicate my production database with a database in other location.

I created a user "Admin" for replication in both the database server with same password. And include into Administrators group. Set "Log on as a service" permission to that (in both servers).

I started "Configure Publishing and Distribution Wizard", I got the message
"SQL Agent on 'SERVER1' currently uses the system
account, which causes replication between server to fail. In the
following dialog box, specify another account for the Service startup
account."
I changed the "LocalSystem" account to "Admin".

Topic Cont....

It had given the error --
"The new service startup account name you have supplied is invalid or does not exist. "

What extra privilege should I give to this user ?

Anticipating for your answer.
