While Microsoft provides us with the Health Monitor, and you can set up a script to generate health reports every now and then, I am going to develop one that actually tests the replication, and generates some really simple status reports.

This comes after a weeks worth of changes to our accounting package sadly being lost after replication stopped working in the middle of my exam study week. More on that later.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions for this tool, I am still very much in the stage of throwing ideas around for it, so let me know what you would want in it.

I will be releasing it freely when I get it to a working state.

Update (October 2009):

I haven’t got any further with this unfortunately, I got busy. I just had a look today and found a blog post that might be helpful. I’m still hoping to write something to do this more automatically, perhaps this summer.
