SQl Uninstall Fails

  • I have 50 instances in my server and wanted to remove some instances so that I can add instances. After I select any instance to uninstall, setup just hangs forever saying "please wait". I have looked into log files which says error ""Slp: QueryDiscoveryForTransforms: No more transforms are available because the maximum 50 has been reached". Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

  • 50 instances? Are you joking?

    I've never heard of anyone hitting the instances limit. :w00t:

    50 is the maximum number of inctances you can install on a standalone server. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143432.aspx

    For clustered instances, the limit is 25.

    hmmm... interesting... neither have I.

    Depending on how busy it is, it must be one meaty Server!

  • I know that maximum 50 instances can installed on a stand alone server. I am trying to remove some instances so that we can add more for new customer. But homehow setup thinks I am trying to add more which is not the case.
