Merge Replication Synchronization Manager

Hi,
after upgrading a client within a Merger Replication scenario from MSDE2000A
to SQL Express SP1 the subscription is no longer listed within the
synchronisation manager.
How to register the subscription within Synchronization Manager?
(I know it is possible within Management Studio but I need to automate this
process).
Thanks in advance,
Thomas
have you tried to pull it again in WSM?

|||Hi Hilary,
I haven't tried to pull it again within WSM. I would need to reregister it
within WSM, but since this upgrade occurs within a software upgrade I do not
have access to all client machines and I need a solution that I can integrate
into an installer package.
The subscription registration can still be found under
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Replication\Subscriptions\...
If I copy this entry to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL
Server\90\Replication\Subscriptions\... the subscription shows up in WSM and
works fine. I'm a little bit worried about the fact that within this key is
entry called subid. When I regenerate this entry using "Management Studio"
the subid is different and there is one additional entry called WebSync.
WebSync is always 0 in our case but I don't have a clue where the changed
subid comes from. If I call sp_helpmergepullsubscription it still shows the
"old" subid.
Greetings,
Thomas
