| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| object | Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list. |
Use the Uninstall method of the Publisher object to remove only those components implementing publication. Use the Uninstall method of the Distributor or Replication object to remove all replication-implementing components.
For the Replication object, SQL-DMO implements the Boolean argument bIgnoreDistributor. bIgnoreDistributor is evaluated only when the Replication object references a Publisher using a remote Distributor. When True, the Uninstall method removes all components implementing publication and subscription on the Publisher and attempts to connect to the Distributor and remove publication-implementating components.
When False (default), only the Publsher is affected by method execution. Use the CleanUpDistributionPublisherByName method referencing the remote distributor to remove publication-implementing components.
