through Management studio

 But still you can add another listener using failover cluster manager

A. Yes, we can configure replication and always on the same database but we have some
limitations.
 In an AlwaysOn availability group a secondary database cannot be a publisher.

 Re-publishing is not supported when replication is combined with AlwaysOn Availability


Groups.
 We can have a dedicated server (which is not part of the AG) acting as a distributor or we
can have the distributor on the subscriber (provided subscriber is not part of an AG).

35. To configure Snapshot replication a table must contain a primary key. True or
false?

a. True

 Replicating small volumes of data.
 It is acceptable to have copies of data that are out of date with respect to the
Publisher for a period of time.
 A large volume of changes occurs over a short period of time.
