Today when I was trying to drop publisher for replication that I had set up for one of the SQL Server database by using below script, got error.
Msg 15404, Level 16, State 19, Procedure sp_replcmds, Line 1
Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'username', error code 0x5.
To solve this problem you have to check the owner of database and then change the ownership to sa by using below statement.
use [YourDataBaseName]
exec sp_droppublication @publication = N'PublisherName'
GO
Msg 15404, Level 16, State 19, Procedure sp_replcmds, Line 1
