An anonymous subscription becomes defunct when dropped by the Subscriber. If the Subscriber is not connected to the Distributor when the subscription is dropped, agent meta data still remains at the Distributor. An application can call RemoveDefunctAnonymousSubscription to clean up the meta data.
Note If an application calls RemoveDefunctAnonymousSubscription on an instance of SQL Server version 7.0, the constant, SQLDMO_E_SQL80ONLY, and the message "This property or method requires Microsoft SQL Server 2000" are returned.
