Hello Mark,
Thank you for posting here.
According to your description, I understand that:
You have a concern about how to disable the SBS Monitoring and Reporting.
If I have misunderstood the problem, please don't hesitate to let me know.
As Lanwench mentioned, it is recommended that you leave the SBS Monitoring
and Reporting running while you can turn off the notifications. The
monitoring tools included in Small Business Server collect complex data
that contain the most critical information. It provides a easily
customizable SBS administration practice.
If you persists to remove the SBS monitoring, you may refer to the
following steps:
I. Uninstall Monitoring
a. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Add or Remove
Programs.
b. Select Windows Small Business Server 2003 and then click
Change/Remove. The Setup Wizard appears.
c. Click Next to start the wizard.
d. On the Windows Configuration page, click Next.
e. On the Component Selection page, in the Action column, change
Server Tools to Maintenance, change Monitoring component to Remove, and
then click Next.
f. On the Component Summary page, click Next.
g. Click Finish.
II. Uninstall Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (SBSMONITORING)
In Add or Remove Programs, select Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine
(SBSMONITORING) and then click Remove. A dialog box appears. To confirm
that you want to remove, click Yes.
III. Rename the folder
Start Windows Explorer, and then locate and rename the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$SBSMONITORING
to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\Old.MSSQL$SBSMONITORING
IV. Use Registry Editor to delete the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\SmallBusinessServer\Monitoring
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\SBSMonitoring
I hope these steps will give you some help. If you have any questions or
concerns, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Best regards,
Miles Li
