Hello!

I have upgraded several databases from 2005 to 2008. I configured
replication (created publisher and subscriber) and log reader for a database
in question was failing because of 'Could not obtain information about
Windows NT group/user ...' error. Now I am trying to drop publication. All
articles have been dropped, but publication itself can't be dropped because
of the following error:

exec sp_droppublication @publication = N'<DBName>'

Msg 15404, Level 16, State 19, Procedure sp_replcmds, Line 1
Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user
'<DomainName>\<UserName>', error code 0x37.

I was able to configure replication for other databases successfully. There
is only one I am having problems with. I am not sure how to interpret this
error.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Igor Marchenko
