This error is raised by the following replication stored procedures if the value specified for the @job_login parameter is null or not valid. This error can occur if a member of the db_owner fixed database role runs scripts from previous versions of [!INCLUDEssNoVersion]. The security model changed in [!INCLUDEssVersion2005], and these scripts must be updated.
These stored procedures can be executed by a member of the sysadmin fixed server role on the appropriate server or a member of the db_owner fixed database role in the appropriate database. The stored procedures each create an agent job and allow you to specify the [!INCLUDEmsCoName] Windows account under which the agent runs. For users in the sysadmin role, agent jobs are created implicitly even if a Windows account is not specified (if an account is specified, it must be valid); agents run under the context of the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Agent service account at the appropriate server. Although the account is not required, it is a security best practice to specify a separate account for the agents. For more information, see Replication Agent Security Model.
Ensure you specify a valid Windows account for the @job_login parameter of each procedure. If you have replication scripts from previous versions of [!INCLUDEssNoVersion], update these scripts to include the stored procedures and parameters required by [!INCLUDEssVersion2005]. For more information, see Upgrade Replication Scripts (Replication Transact-SQL Programming).
