SQL Server could not retrieve the list of publications for 'XYZ'

First of all please note the following carefully:

• I have a source database named S_DB on one SQL Server hosted on a machine named S_SRV, on a domain named S_DOM.

• On a different domain named D_DOM, I have another machine named D_SRV.

• On the SQL Server instances hosted on the two machines (S_SRV and D_SRV) I have added a domain user from D_DOM, and named [D_DOM\replUser]. This user is a db_owner on the source, destination databases, and distribution database, and it is also has full rights on the replication snapshot folder.

• the source SQL Server is SQL 2012, but the destination is SQL 2008 R2

Now, using that [D_DOM\replUser] I have created successfully a publication on S_SRV. However, when I wanted to create the subscriber on D_SRV (which is from the same domain of the user), I'm getting the following message:

TITLE: New Subscription Wizard
