Replication: "IsInstalled" registry value -- sql server replication

Hi Hilary,

Thanks for replying :-)

So is there anyway that I can get to know that replication is
configured on a machine through a registry key?

for example, I can get the AuditLevel of the SQL Server through a
following registry key
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\MSSQLServer\AuditLevel"

So is there any registry key present for Replication?

Let me know ASAP.

Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Pramod

I think this refers to the replication utilities when you run setup as
opposed to whether you have configured your server as a
publisher/distributor/subscriber.

Hi Paul,

Actually my application checks the registry key and does some operation
based on that.
So, is there any way I can get the information of Replication is
configured or not?

Pramod

Hi Pramod - just did a comparison of the registry using notepad before and
after enabling replication and didn't find anything significant.

Hi Paul,

I observed the same things. So, is there any other way for the same?
for example, will there be any extra DLL gets installed or a process is
created or a service is installed or a file is placed on HDD?

Anyways thanks Paul.
Thanks for the information.

Regards,
Pramod

Perhaps a dev will pick up the thread and confirm this for us. In your case
I'd query SQL Server and check there.
