SQL Server 2005.

Transactional (standard).

Distribution Server set up on another machine.

As straight forward a publication as you could imagine. Single table, no row filters, no column filters.

I'm fairly new to replication, and in doing all of the set up through the wizards, I haven't deviated from the default settings at all.

Every time I subscribe to a publication, these 2 extra sps get created.

One of my collegues noticed that when you set distribution to run locally, these 2 sps are not created... I wonder what that has to do with it...

Andy, do you not get these when sp's when you set up trans rep in 2005?
