Removing the elusive mssql$microsoft##SSEE
by  Susan Henry  on 2/22/2010 7:41 PM

This is just a quick share. The other day I was working on installing a WSS 3.0 environment for a client who had already done an all-in-one installation on the server. They had uninstalled SharePoint since, but the Windows Internal Database instance that is created when you perform an All-in-one install was left behind. 

 

I knew how to connect to this database, by using a named pipe, but I had no clue how to remove it and I'm no SQL guru. But, I found a technet article and KB that give you a command line which will do the trick. Worked like a charm :)

 

Here's the command and you can read the articles here: KB / TechNet

 

  • On 32-bit platforms: msiexec /x {CEB5780F-1A70-44A9-850F-DE6C4F6AA8FB} callerid=ocsetup.exe
  • On 64-bit platforms: msiexec /x {BDD79957-5801-4A2D-B09E-852E7FA64D01} callerid=ocsetup.exe
