I was asked to do this, but I don’t know if there is a standard way of doing so. Does anyone know if there is a way in SQL Server to export this?

AFIK there is no standard way of doing this. Replication as a technology long predates XML and its toolset and metadata is not XML centric. However everything related to replication is stored somewhere in a table, either in master or in msdb or in distribution database, see Replication Tables topic on MSDN, or in the replication DMVs (
sys.dm_repl_articlesandsys.dm_repl_schemas). All this information can be interogated and formatted as XML, but I’m not aware of any standard XML schemas covering this information.
