    Hi,

    I need to uninstall an instance from A . The clustername is ABC. so inorder to do the uninstallation of an instance from A

    1. can I need to log into A and goto controlpanel->add/remove programs->sql server2005(mssql server)->remove->select the instance that i need to uninstall? or

    2.can I need to log into Clustername and goto controlpanel-add/remove programs->sql server2005(mssql server)->remove->select the instance that i need to uninstall?

    Please follow below steps.. You will be good to go...

    1. Start SQL Setup by logging in in console mode

    2. Select mainteaince option

    3. Select setup option to remove the node

    4. Setup should handle everything else. SQL will be remove from the node.

    Both way will work

    Also if you uninstall a node from a cluster, it will uninstall only that instance 🙂

    Not all instance from the node
