I am a SQL novice and this is my 1st time using replication. I'm using merge
replication to publish on sever 2005 and pull subscribers using express 2005.
All seemed great, until I could not longer add items to a particular table on
the publisher. It gave an error stating I needed to run
sp_adjustpublisheridentityrange, which I did, and which took care of the
problem. My question is this, shouldn't that be executed by an agent at a
scheduled interval? I looked through the steps in each of the jobs, and none
seem to include that sp. It is possible that I accidently deleted a job while
I was first creating the publication, since it took me a couple of attempts
to get things working.

Yes, if you insert enough row to exceed the threshold but not blow the range
the next time the merge agent runs it will increment it.

you unforuntately have blown the range (and the buffer) so you need to do it
manually.
