Disabling Synchronization (SysAdmins Only)
If your company does not plan to use Synchronization, you have the option to disable the feature. When disabled, the Synchronization menu command is not included in the Tools menu, which prevents creating the publication and subscription databases. You can however activate Synchronization at anytime if your company decides later to use the feature.
To disable Synchronization, follow these steps:
1 Click
Tools >
Options >
Synchronization to open the synchronization property settings window (
Figure 3-15).
2 Click the check box
Disable Synchronization to place a check mark inside the check box. Then click
Save.
The Synchronization menu command is no longer available in the Tools menu. If you decide later to activate Synchronization, clear the check mark by clicking the Disable Synchronization check box.
