In Enterprise Manager, when I do the following steps:
1. Right click the Databases\Replications\Subscriptions
folder
2. Select "New Pull Subscription"
3. Press Next
4. Select "Look at publications from registered servers"
5. Expand the server with the Publication I want...

Enterprise manager times out and gives me the following
message several minutes later:

Error 8198 could not obtain information about Windows NT
Group/User WINS\USP0268b

This Publishing server I'm trying to expand to show the
publication for is on the same domain, and on other
servers I CAN pull this just fine. I checked this server
I'm trying to pull to as a "Subscriber" enabled, so this
is not the issue.

I've checked several boards, but they all mention an NT
issue about local user and groups, but there is no
difference I can find in logins and users between the
servers that CAN pull and the servers that CANNOT pull.

Let me know if you are aware of this problem. I'll be
most grateful!

Best Regards,

Joe

PS: When I script out the subscription and run it, it is
created just fine. It is just the lookup that is causing
the issue in the Wizard."
