Audit Trail for Structural Changes

audit trail for structural changes in SQL2000There is no way to do this as there are no DDL triggers in SQL Server 2000.

attaching subscription database woes

I'm trying to get to a point where I can implement structural changes to a
merge replication system. My plan is to ship copies of a subscription
database to enduser outside the corp firewall and write some code to load
the new subscription database. I've done the following:
1. create a subscription db on the same server as the publisher
2. use the 'copy a subscription database' menu choice to create a copy of
it.
3. move the copy to target server.
4. in the replication folder on the target server select: 'attach
subscription database', select the msf file, specify a name for the db.
5. run sp_addMergeSubscription on the publication server as follows:
exec sp_addmergesubscription
@.publication = 'rep_test_hub',
@.subscriber = 'k-server',
@.subscriber_db = 'rep_test_sub2',
@.subscription_type = 'pull',
@.sync_type = 'none'
6. on the publisher - drill down to the publisher list, refresh it and note
the addition of 'rep_test_sub2'. At this point the status is 'deactivated'
7. synch with the publisher on subscriber
The above works fine when both pub and sub are on the same box. When I try
this on another pc in a peer-peer network I get the following error:
Event Type: Information
Event Source: SQLSERVERAGENT
Event Category: Job Engine
Event ID: 203
Date: 1/20/2006
Time: 1:20:32 PM
User: N/A
Computer: k-HOME
Description:
SubSystem Message - Job
'K-SERVER-rep_test_hub-rep_test_hub-K-HOME-rep_test_sub6- 0'
(0x826C45BA92AD5F4E9B37842A22DB6F0B), step 1 - The process could not connect
to Distributor 'K-SERVER'. Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS
LOGON'.
Why is the synch attempt using an 'anonymous logon'?
I've checked my SQL-Agent properties and it is setup for 'SQL-Server
Authentication' in the connection tab on both systems. Both server have
identical 'sa' passwords. The startup account is 'system account' on the
sub PC and a domain admin account on the hub PC. The sub PC is not part of
the domain.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Run SQL Server agent under a local admin account on the subscriber.
