SQL 2000 on 4 servers (distributor and 3 subscribers).

I deleted about 3.5 million records in a table on the distributor. One
subscriber got all of the deletes fine. The order 2 are getting an
error:

The process is running and is waiting for a response from one of the
backend connections.

I have done a reindex and index defrag on all tables (not system tables,
just our tables) on those 2 machines. We have rebooted all of the
servers. All to no avail.

What are my other options. This is quite iratating.

Since I really don't need to get all of the deletes on the other
subscribers, can I run the following without causing any adverse
effects:

delete from msmerge_tombstone
where tablenick in (select nickname from sysmergearticles where
tablenick=nickname and name='MyTable') and
rowguid not in (select aud_rowguid from MyTable where
aud_rowguid=rowguid)

This is really not advisable. It would be best to drop the subscribers, do
the delete and then redeploy them.
