Hello everyone, forgive me as I am still very new to all of this.

Running SS2k and Win2k Server

I am trying to change the account that the SS Agent uses because I want to try using replication and SS2k says that I need to change the account from something else other then the system account. The problem is, no matter which account I try it says "account is invalid or does not exist". I have tried all the accounts on my computer including the administrator account, which I had even explicedly added as a user in SS and as an operator in the Agent. What am I doing wrong? What group should the account belong to to allow it to be "valid".

Thanks in advance for all the help.
Chad
