SYMPTOMS

After you remove Microsoft SQL Server, the counters in Windows NT Performance Monitor may not be available.

CAUSE

This problem occurs when SQL Server is removed without using the SQL Server Setup option. If this procedure of removing SQL Server is not followed, Registry entries and calls to dynamic-link library files are not removed.

RESOLUTION

To avoid this problem, reinstall SQL Server and remove it through the SQL Server Setup option, as described on page 46 of the SQL Server "Configuration Guide."
