Q: 

Can’t locate Local Publications folder under Replication folder in SQL Server 2005

Can't locate Local Publications folder under Replication folder in SQL Server 2005. Replication components are installed. I am using SQL Server 2005 not express edition.

I just installed SQL Server 2005 with replication compoenents and right click on Replication folder, there I can see just 3 options. 1) Update Replication Password. 2) New -> Subscription. 3)Refresh

I have also posted this question on serverfault but no response from last more than one hour so I am trying it here.

EDIT: Express edition is also installed on this machine but I am unable to find complete options under replication in SQL Server 2005 standard edition.

Thanks.

A: 

Did you configure your server to be a publisher when you configured replication ? Maybe the replication setting configured used this server as a subscriber only.

So, you must use Microsoft SQL Standard, Enterprise or Small Business Server (SBS) editions to publish transaction replication.

A: 

The server is sql server 2005 standard edition but Management studio was Express. That is why I was unable to see all options.
