I cleaned up a SQL 2005 server database that was being used as a publisher. SQL 2005 server (cluster server Active/Passive)with SP1 was reinstalled on the box. I removed all replication related entries from replication tables and cleaned up the DB. Now, I noticed that distributor_admin login is present. I am going to set this database as a publisher again. Should I go ahead and delete the old distributor_admin account before re setting replication? Please note that before replicatin was cleaned, this DB was used as publisher ONLY. The distributor DB was residing on another server, which was later cleaned up.

Now, does SQL 2005 server reinstall re create distributor_admin AUTOMATICALLY? Or, should I knock off the existing distributor_admin before RE SETTING replication. The distributor DB will be installed on the other server in this case too.

PLEASE HELP!!
