I created a distributor, publisher and subscriber in SQL Servers successfully few weeks ago.
I want to record steps to create distributor for preparing documentation.
Therefore I select "Disable Publishing and Distribution" in Replication to drop all replications. I found that the task is too slow and then I stop the task
I try to open Distributor Properties, it shows the following error
Message 1: SQL Server is unable to complete the Distributor Properties. (Distributor Properties)
Message 2: Could not refresh properties of this object from server. Check if this object still exists on the server. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Rmo)
Program Location:
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.ReplicationObject.Refresh()
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.DistDBList.Load(ReplicationSqlConnection distConn)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.DistributorProperties.LoadProperties()

Can anyone advise on this problem?
Thanks,
Tony
