[!INCLUDE SQL Server -Windows Only]
Replication components can be installed by using the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Installation Wizard or at a command prompt. Install replication when you install [!INCLUDEssNoVersion], or when you modify an existing instance.
After replication components are installed, you must configure the server before you can use replication. For more information, see Configure Distribution in [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Books Online.
Important
If you install replication components when you modify an existing instance of [!INCLUDEssNoVersion], you must stop and restart [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Agent after the installation is completed. This action helps ensure that [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Agent recognizes the replication agent subsystems and can call replication agents from job steps.
To install replication when installing a new instance of [!INCLUDEssNoVersion]
- To install replication components, including Replication Management Objects (RMO), select SQL Server Replication on the Feature Selection page of the Installation Wizard.
