Remarks

After calling the Reinitialize method, you must start synchronization to reinitialize the subscription. For more information, see How to: Reinitialize a Subscription (RMO Programming).

The Reinitialize method can only be called by members of sysadmin fixed server role at the Subscriber or by members of the db_owner fixed database role on the subscription database.

Calling Reinitialize is equivalent to executing sp_reinitpullsubscription.
