Merge Agent: The remote server is not defined as a subscription server

I have only encountered the error:

The remote server is not defined as a subscription server

together with the recorded ‘last action’:

The subscription to publication 'XXXX' is invalid.

For details please refer to the link ‘Merge Agent: The subscription to publication 'XXXX' is invalid’.

These notes are believed to be correct for SQL Server 7 and may apply to other versions as well.
