sql server replication: I need to install a service pack on replicated servers. Server A replicates
to Server B and vice versa. From what I understand (but correct me if I'm
wrong), I'll need to "Quiesce" the servers and install the service packs
simultaneously. But what does that mean. I looked at a KB article, but
didn't really understand when it said stop all activity on published tables.
Does that mean the agent jobs? or does that mean to make sure noone
accesses the database from the application?

Thanks!

It means boot all your users off the box.

Sandra,
you can use this type of statement to get the databases into a correct
state:
alter database mydb set single_user with rollback immediate.
