If I understand correctly, I don't expect to see anything for replication,
because there is currently only one DC in the domain and forest, spserver01.
spserver02 was demoted from being a DC, removed from the domain, and
disconnected, so there is no other server for spserver01 to replicate to.
The win 2003 server is not yet a DC, since I can't run adprep.
