We have an old box acting as a distributor running SQL 2008 SP3 that needs to retired. I'm wondering what 'gotchas' there would be to this migration. Other than scripting out the replication (right click Replication in SSMS -> Generate Scripts -> make sure Distributor properties & Publications in the following Data sources: are checked as well as the 'Replication jobs' checkbox what else is there to getting this distributor up and running again on a different server? Would I need to move the .mdf/.ldf files of the distribution database? What all would need to be modified in that generated script and what other tasks would I need to do to get this running?
Thanks,
Phil
