I have not ran the uninstall. I postponed the removal and have to get another maintenance window for the work, but will post the results once complete.

Hi Perry,

Thanks for the reply.

Do the services need to start on the active node? I am removing this instance from the cluster (uninstall on both nodes) and...

If you really need to add the Central Management Server to a group that it maintains there is a work around to do that.

You can begin a New...

Good question and I never thought of using Resource Governor for backups, but I agree the answers should be A & D since the explanation deals with CPU in resource...

In my recent hardware/OS/SQL upgrade I could not find any easy way to do this at all so, I had to recreate them on the new instance. I only...
