Replication Breaks after applying SP4

Hi
I installed SP4 on our enterprise server this morning and now all
replication jobs fail with the message "No such interface supported"
Has anyone seen this before / know how to resolve this?
We run Enterprise Edition on Win2003
Many Thanks

nope. I suggest you re-register the replication dll's and exes. I think you
can find them in c:\program files\microsoft sql server\mssql\80\com

SP4 setup per the following thread (reported by Tomasz Skorupa originally):

With more than one person hitting the same problem, I would like to try
again and see if I can find out more about the cause of it. Was the user
running SP4 setup on the machine the same as the one running SQL Server Agent
service? If not, did the account running SP4 have privilege for enumerating
account information for the SQL Server Agent service account?

|||Thanks for the reply Raymond and apologies for not replying sooner but I have
been off work.
I tried re-registering the dll following the steps you mentioned in the
other thread but this did not work for me.
I re-registered them and stopped and started SQL Agent. Did I need to do
anything else?
The version of sqlrepss.dll on my instance is :2000.80.2039.0
I was not connected as the service account so I may not have had the
prvilages for enumeration the account informaion.
I can run the replication from the command line but I always get the error
when using Enterprise Manager.
Do you have any other suggestions to resolve this?
Many Thanks

Replicating users and privileges...

Hi,
In my publisher database I have defined an user with restricted privileges.
This user is "used" by the user interface application to connect to the
database. How can I replicate this user and restrictions to the subscriber?
Should I script this on a post-snapshot script? Is any other automatic
solution?
Thanks in advance

drop the first 'f' when mailing me.
Faustino,
there's no automatic solution for this, as we can't replicate system tables.
You could use :
a pre-snapshot script,
a post-snapshot script,
sp_addscriptexec,
DTS,
linked servers.
