RE: Create new publication error

Hello,

I understand that you encountered following error when you tried to create
a new publication. This occurs when you have sql 2000 as publisher and 2005
as distributor

"Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'username', error
code 0xffff0002."


This issue could occur if the user might be orphaned on the database you
want to publish. I suggest that you USe Query Analyzer to run

Select Name,Sid from <database>..sysusers

and

Select Name,Sid from master..syslogins


You may observe the SIDs do not match. There migh be a SID in the
published database for user which do not appear in the SQL server master
syslogins listing.

You may wanty drop and re-add the user to the database to test. Also, you
may try to publish another database or a new database to test.

If the issue still occurs, please try to use SQL 2000 as distributor to
isolate the issue though it does not seem to be an issue.

You may also try as Hilary said to log on as SA to test. If there is any
update, please feel free to let's know.

Best Regards,
