Error in Merge replication "The schema script..."

I'm trying to set up a merge replication. Publication is created successfully and snapshot also, but when I create pull subscription on subscriber server and merge agent starts, after some time I get an error message of this type:

The schema script '\\ANIL\REPLDATA\unc\ANIL_BEJK_BEJK\20070625142735\dl_HF_vMSCene_3836.sch' could not be propagated to the subscriber.

It seams there is a problem with certain Views and SPs, because tables are successfully created, and some Views and SPs also.

I tried to exclude problematic articles, but every time another one pops up. Up until now, I excluded 7 articles from publication (1 Stored Procedure and 6 Views) but I still get errors.

I gave up because I can't exclude half of the Views and SPs just to make it work.

Is there something that can be done to solve this problem?

Thanks!
Does your SQL Server agent account have rights to read the share \\anil\repldata? Ensure that this account also has rights to list files and folders on the physical drive underlying \\anil\repldata.

If you are using a push subscription it should be the SQL Server agent account on the publisher. If you are using a pull subscription is should be the SQL Server agent account on the subscriber.|||

Hi Hilary

Sharing permisions were set to Read/Write to "Everyone", and security permisions also Read/Write to "Everyone", but it didn't work until I added an account on subscriber computer (which is not in domain) with same username and password as one that exists on publisher (which is in domain). I set SQL Server Agent to use that account and everything started to work fine.

I'm connecting to publisher using the VPN, and despite the fact that those two accounts are not from the same domain, everything is working fine. This is a little bit confusing. It looks like domain name doesn't play any role when logging in to shared folder.

Thanks for the help.
