Problem in removing replication for one publication

Hi,

We have implemented transaction replication that is working fine.

One publisher with 3 publications and one subscriber.

Today we added another publication on same publisher & added another server as subscriber. Something went wrong with configuration & we did not succeed. In fact log reader agent did not start with error "the process could not execute sp_replcmds".

We removed subscription & publication and repeated the process again but in vain.

I used following scripts to remove subscription & publication.

-- This batch is executed at the Publisher to remove -- a pull or push subscription to a transactional publication.DECLARE @publication AS sysname; DECLARE @subscriber AS sysname; SET @publication = N'AdvWorksProductTran';SET @subscriber = $(SubServer); USE [AdventureWorks2012] EXEC sp_dropsubscription @publication = @publication, @article = N'all', @subscriber = @subscriber; GO

--EXEC sp_removedbreplication 'AdventureWorks2012'

DECLARE @publicationDB AS sysname; DECLARE @publication AS sysname; SET @publicationDB = N'AdventureWorks';SET @publication = N'AdvWorksProductTran';-- Remove a transactional publication.USE [AdventureWorks2012] EXEC sp_droppublication @publication = @publication; -- Remove replication objects from the database.USE [master] EXEC sp_replicationdboption @dbname = @publicationDB, @optname = N'publish', @value = N'false'; GO

Still no luck. When I launch replication monitor , it shows names of those publications with

red marked. Distribution database is also there. Some agent jobs are still there for this publication.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.
