sql server replication:

I can see how it would work for just a sql
server, but a sql server doing replication
it might be harder to accomplish. Has
anyone here done this with a replication
box?

TIA,

The name of the publisher is hardcoded in the replication metadata tables. I
don't think this will work.

If the servername is identical and you use KEEP_REPLICTION then it is
possible to retain the publication replication settings. If not, then I
script out the publications, create the new server, edit the scripts -
changing server names and logins for job owners if necessary - and then
recreate the publications. This is followed by initialization of course.
