hi there,

This should be a simple question for a sql guru!

I need to uninstall a sql server 2005 instance leaving the other
instances well alone. (its actually a backupexec instance I am looking
to remove and the sever is sbs2003).

I just wanted to check the procedure as if I make a mistake I don't want
to think about the consequences!

I have gone to add/remove programs and chosen sql server 2005. I have
selected the below:-
- component selection - chose (only) bkupexec
- sql 2005 instance components - database engine
- change or remove instance - This is where I am unsure. Should I
chose "change installed components" or "remove microsoft sql server"??

As I mentioned earlier it would be a disaster if I affect the other
instances - can anyone advise me on the best course of action?

I appreciate any input on this. Cheers,
Al

At that point, you select remove sql server and it will remove only that
instance that you selected.

Thanks. It seemed to work.

I was very very warying of chosing "remove sql server"!
