problem with SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager display

Hello,
I'm having problems when using SQL 2000 Enterprise manager and viewing
the Distribution Agents via Enterprise Manager. I have this SQL server setup
for replication with a local a distribution database. When I click on the
'Distribution Agents' folder, under 'Replication Monitor' I can't see the
agents. It doesn't matter which Enterprise Manager from what SQL server that
I use, I still can't see the distribution agents for this one server. So,
that leads me to think there is some configuration setting for that server
that is not allowing any Enterprise Mananger's replication monitor to view
those agents.
Is this correct?
If so, how do I fix it?
thanks,
Hi,
Does your replication works swimmingly as expected?
What kind of replication you are creating?
What's the startup account for your SQL Server Agent?
If you create another new transactional replication, is it possible for you
to reproduce this behavior?

|||Morning Michael,
Yes, replication works as it should. We are doing transactional replication
at the database level. SQL Server agent runs as a Domain account which also
runs the SQL Server service. Each and every new database replication has the
same problems with in the 'Distribution Agents' folder. Just to repeat my
self, this is the only folder that does not show the agents. All other
folders shows the differents agents.
So, any other thoughts as to why this one folder does not show it's agents?
thanks,
JD

Really strange issue since other folder displays correctly.
If you register the SQL Server in another machine, will it show the Agent
correctly?

|||Hello Michael,
No unfortuanly it doesn't. I can register that one server from any other
server but it still won't display that one folder. And it is only the one
folder that won't display.
Any thoughts? A possible registry entry that is messed up? A bit turned off
somewhere?
Thanks,
JD
