Yes, yes, I KNOW you're not supposed to installed MS SQL on a Server 2008 R2 domain controller.
Someone else set up the domain controller this way, and so I am trying to correct the situation, and move WSUS to a different non-DC server.
,
If I just want to remove WSUS and not reinstall it, and not preserve any data in it, is it as simple as uninstalling WSUS in the control panel?
Will that automatically remove the databases that it uses?
,
Apparantly, the Windows Internal Database is used by the 2008 R2 domain controller, so should I NOT remove it?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Internal_Database says, it is used by:
Active Directory Rights Management Services
Windows System Resource Manager
Active Directory Federation Services 2.0
Windows SharePoint Services
,
Also, this server has Faronics Core 3 on it along with SQL Server 2005. I also intend to remove both of these. I do not know if WSUS stuck its databases in SQL 2005, or in the Internal Database.
I can not find any management consoles to tell me what databases use SQL Server 2005 or the Windows Internal Database.
In the Start menu, there is a "SQL Server Configuration Manager" for SQL Server 2005, but it does not list databases, only service startup information and database connection methods. The "Server Manager" console also has nothing related to SQL Server.
