Problem: You sent an encrypted Distribution to a Subscriber, but the Subscriber cannot process it successfully.
Possible Cause: The encrypted Distribution was the first Distribution that the Subscriber received. The Subscriber must receive and process an unencrypted Distribution first, before it can process an encrypted Distribution.
Action: Send an unencrypted Distribution to the Subscriber, then resend the encrypted Distribution. For more information, see "Sending Distributions" in "Policy and Distribution Services" in the Administration guide.
Possible Cause: The Distributor sending the encrypted Distribution is also the Subscriber receiving the Distribution. The server where both are running is a Windows 2000 server. A WIndows 2000 server that functions as both a Distributor and a Subscriber cannot send an encrypted Distribution to itself.
Action: Route the Distribution through a parent Subscriber. See "Sending Distributions Through Parent Subscribers" in "Policy and Distribution Services" in the Administration guide.
