Queue Reader Agent Security
The Queue Reader Agent Security dialog box allows you to specify the Microsoft Windows account under which the Queue Reader Agent runs and makes local connections to the Distributor. The agent connects to the Publisher using the account specified in the Publisher Properties dialog box (available from the Distributor Properties dialog box); the agent connects to the Subscriber using the same context as the Distribution Agent for the subscription. For more information, see How to: View and Modify Replication Security Settings (SQL Server Management Studio).
The account must be valid with the correct password specified. Accounts and passwords are not validated until an agent runs.
