Remarks

The ChangeReplicationServerPasswords method is used to update the password for a login used by replication agents to connect to other servers in the replication topology after the password for this login has been changed. This method is used instead of individually changing the password for each stored instance of the login used for each agent connection.

The ChangeReplicationServerPasswords method can only be called by a member of the sysadmin fixed server role on the replication server.

Calling ChangeReplicationServerPasswords is equivalent to executing sp_changereplicationserverpasswords (Transact-SQL).
