Identifying any SQL Server usage by a third party program

  • I have two sql servers on the network which I cannot connect through SQL Server Management Studio or profiler with the known username and passwords of ours (Although they are available on the network connections list). When I logon to the windows server I can see SQL Server Service Manager running on both and only system databases in the ms sql data directory. I am just trying to find out if this SQL Server Service Manager running for notting and if the ms sql is not used by any third party program so I can uninstall it from the windows server box.

    Thanks a lot for any help.

    Regards,

  • report any error log from sql server error log folder. You will find some error log in bootstrap folder. Go and find error log from event viewer and post them here.
