Checking For Duplicate Replicas On Two Servers

Checking For Duplicate Replicas On Two Servers

Checking for duplicate replicas on two servers
If you don't use the catalogue and want to see if a database has replicas on
two servers, you can use this script to see if there are any duplicates.

Just copy this code into an agent or button and run it. It will produce a
report that is mailed to you with all the replicas that reside on both servers.


Caution
Be warned, if you run this on a mail server, you may look like a hacker.
