Flood of SQL services

Hi,
I've just setup SQL Express 2005 SP2 on my fresh SBS 2003 R2 system. I never
had anything to do with and have no idea about SQL, the only reason for
updating from MSDE was the annoying and ugly event id 1000 relating to
sharepoint services in my application log. There seems to be no working
solution for that yet.
The point after upgrading to 2005 SP2 now is, that there is a total of seven
services related to SQL running on my machine. They are named
MSSQL$SBSMONITORING
MSSQL$SHAREPOINT
SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)
SQL Server VSS Writer
SQL Server-Browser
SQLAgent$SBSMONITORING
SQLAgent$Sharepoint
Especially the duplicate services regarding SBS-Monitoring and Sharepoint
Services are eye-catchers to me. I thought updating to Express 2005 would
trail existing databases - or at least asks you whether to do. And in control
panel / software there are still two entries relating to MSDE as well.
Is that all alright? Could an SQL-MVP like me, who has no idea about SQL and
hates software cadavers on his system, remove "old" MSDE without crashing the
whole system?
Thanks in advance for a hint.
Regards,
Tim
By the way: at least after first reboot of the server there is everything
"blue" in application log! :-))
SQL Agent is essentially a part of SQL Server. It manages scheduled jobs,
alerts, etc. It cannot be removed from the corresponding SQL Server
instance. According to what I see, you have essentially 3 instances of SQL
Server running on your machine, one of which is SQL Express.
BTW, when did you become an MVP? I don't see you listed.
