Configuring a replication system is made easier with replication wizards, available from the SQL Server Enterprise Manager Tools menu. You can use these wizards to enable, modify, and disable servers as Distributors, Publishers, and Subscribers.
You can use either the Create Publication Wizard or the Configure Publishing and Distribution Wizard. Unless you have custom needs (for example, creating a remote Distributor to support other Publishers), it’s easier to use the Create Publication Wizard.
You can also implement replication using system stored procedures or SQL-DMO.
