Jimbo,

I tested it by restoring the master,msdb and distribution databases. But i am facing problems with log reader agent throwing following errors--

The process could not execute 'sp_repldone/sp_replcounters' on 'MyPublisherServer'

The specified LSN (%value) for repldone log scan occurs before the current start of replication in the log

Our production server is a huge OLTP , I cannot run the sp_replrestart and miss the transactions. Is there any work around for this problem??
