For Transactional Replication if I want to move the publisher database to a new server do I need to backup the distribution database and restore that as well?Will the new server be able to synchronise things? |

Delete replication before your database moves, then rebuild replication after you are done with the move. If you made sure that all transactions made it into the subscriber prior to deleting replication, then you won't need to perform a snapshot during the rebuild.Tara Kizer |

Agrred.All done now, but it was a pain. The lesson was not to try to carry over replication values to new server. Create empty database on existing server and copy database to that one. Back up and restote that database to new server then create new database on new server and restore data then create replication details. |
