Remarks
Before calling UninstallDistributor, you must first perform the following tasks:
Delete all subscriptions. For more information, see NIB Delete a Push Subscription (RMO Programming) and NIB Delete a Pull Subscription (RMO Programming).
Delete all publications. For more information, see NIB Delete a Publication (RMO Programming).
Drop any distribution databases. For more information, see NIB Disable Publishing and Distribution (RMO Programming).
The UninstallDistributor method can only be called by members of the sysadmin fixed server role.
The UninstallDistributor method is equivalent to executing the sp_dropdistributor (Transact-SQL) stored procedure.
