I want to be able to check the status of a publication and subscription in SQL Server 2008 T-SQL. I want to be able to determine if its okay, when was the last successful, sync, etc.. Is this possible?

where mda.subscriber_db<>'virtual' -- created when your publication has the immediate_sync property set to true. This property dictates whether snapshot is available all the time for new subscriptions to be initialized. This affects the cleanup behavior of transactional replication. If this property is set to true, the transactions will be retained for max retention period instead of it getting cleaned up as soon as all the subscriptions got the change.

That's a fantastic query there!Cussed
that's a great script indeed the only change I have done is to get the subscriber server. I have replaced this line: right(left(mda.name,LEN(mda.name)-(len(mda.id)+1)), LEN(left(mda.name,LEN(mda.name)-(len(mda.id)+1)))-(10+len(mda.publisher_db)+(case when mda.publisher_db='ALL' then 1 else LEN(mda.publication)+2 end))) [SUBSCRIBER], by this line: REVERSE(SUBSTRING(REVERSE(mda.name),CHARINDEX('-',REVERSE(mda.name))+1,CHARINDEX('-',REVERSE(mda.name),CHARINDEX('-',REVERSE(mda.name))+1)-CHARINDEX('-',REVERSE(mda.name))-1)) as [sub],Shantell

Old post but adding for others - The following stored procedure will give you what you need:

It allows you to view the status plus other information for all replication publications for a distributor (run it on the distribution database)

In case it's helpful, I've combined parts of the two answers given and taken sp_replmonitorhelppublication and sp_replmonitorhelpsubscription and placed them into Temp Tables so I can sort them and exclude columns as needed.

Note, the subscriber script excludes some merge columns from sp_replmonitorhelpsubscription as I'm not looking for merge replication data.
