Registry Permissions for on demand pull subscription

To configure an on-demand pull subscription, the domain user account used by
the SQL Server Agent service must have full control permissions on the
registry key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL
Server\80\Replication\Subscriptions. When I attempt to use the registry
editor to configure the permissions, the subscriptions portion of the key is
not present. I am running Win 2000 Server and SQL Server 2000. I am logged on
as an administrator, and I have sucessfully created a merge publication and a
push subcription. Any thoughts on what may be my problem? What SQL process
creates the subscriptions entry in the registery?

The subscriptions portion of the key can be filled in by using reg files,
but the preferred way of doing it is having Windows Synchronization Manager,
or the ActiveX Controls make these changes.
When you create your push (only through the procs), or you pull (procs or
wizards), ensure you select on demand pull. This will register your
subscription and make the necessary registry entries.
If you did not do this, you will have to configure your pull subcription
withing WSM.

|||Hillary, thank you for the response. I am unable to create the 'on-demand
pull' subscription due to the lack of permissions on the registry key. I
receive an 'access denied error'. I don't have the exact error info
avaialble right now. I'll review the problem on Monday and post more complete
error info.

|||It seems that you need to be a power user or admin on the machine you are
trying to pull the subscription to.
Also the account which is doing the pulling should be in the PAL.
