Hi, all.
We've come to the realization today that someone has improperly installed the distributor service on a SQL server that is not meant to have it. Additionally, it appears there are snapshot and log reader SQL jobs leftover from previous fails attempts at replication on this server. I've been tasked with cleaning up the server by removing all replication components, including the old jobs, the distributor, the distributor database and the existing subscription from this server.
Can anyone tell me the best way to go about ensuring all replication components have been effectively removed from a SQL server? Thanks.
