I have a Sql Server 2000 (SP3) and I'm trying to setup a transactional Replication to be used with MSDE subscribers. Same server is defined as distributor and publisher. I don't have any subscribers yet. Sql Server/Sql Server Agent services run under domain administrator's account. As soon as I create one publication with single article just for testing, I get this error. Any idea would be greatly appreciated, I can't do anything unless I resolve this.

check the job history, each replication agent has a corresponding job

usually, you may need to check who is the owner of the job and make sure it has appropriate privileges, I just assign SA since I only have the permission to modify them

also, check for the sqlserveragent connection (right click sqlserveragent in EM then properties)
