I have replication set up between a sql-server 2005 instance and multiple sql-server 2000 instances. The replication will successfully for a while before I get the following error message:
Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint 'unique_pubsrvdb'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.sysmergesubscriptions'. (Source: MSSQLSERVER, Error number: 2627)
When I checked sysmergesubscriptions there were extra entries that appear to be coming from the 2000 instances.
My question is has anyone encountered this issue and how did you deal with it (without rebuilding the entire thing)
