You create a Merge Replication topology and a Publication to replicate the Products table to the SQL Server instances at remote locations. The Publication has a 21-day retention period.
When a user returns from a one-month vacation, she discovers that her database does not contain the most recent data. The Windows Event log states the following error message:
"Replication: expired subscription dropped."
