SQL Server registry entries

  • I did an unattended installation of SQLServer 2008 using command line parameters. But later had uninstalled it using Add/Rem/Programs successfully. But in Services window, i still see MSSQLSERVER and SQL Server Agent service still. Is there anything in registry that i need to remove manually. I don't want to see these both in the services window.

    Please suggest some clue.. Thanks.

  • Hi Chandu,

    What's the state of the services (SQL and SQL agent) you're seeing ? Are they empty or you can start / stop them ?

    Inside the registry, you can find all the services under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services. There, you'll find a Key for SQL and another for SQL Agent, but before removing them, make sure the uninstall was successful and that SQL is not really installed on the box.

    Cheers,
