Syncronize manually?

sql server replication:

[replication via Internet]

A) What is the preferred method to "prep" a computer for replication prior
to deploying it in the field?
I prefer not to push the database along with the subscription over the
internet.

B) After it has been deployed and functioning properly, what is the best
method to syncronize it with the publisher if I deem it necessary? For
example if I feel the subscriber is missing records/updates.

thank you,
bob

Bob,

to set up the subscriber, you normally (99% of the time) use pull, which
FTPs the datafiles to set it up. A recent poster was using push, and you
might want to look at Hilary's comments on it. You'll want to look at this
article : http://support.microsoft.com/?id=321822 to set things up. In
addition, adding an entry on the subscriber's hosts file may be necessary.

To synchronize you can manually use the windows synchronization manager on
the subscriber.

If the subscriber has some non-convergence of data, you can always
reinitialize.

HTH,
Paul Ibison

a) if your db is less than 2 gigs use the copy subscription database method
b) do a pull subscription. I would schedule this for every 10 minutes to
maintain consistency
