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 Scheduling and 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.
