I have a problem with SharePoint on a Windows 2003 R2 SBS Premium Edition domain controller that is a standalone machine. &nbsp;It seems the SharePoint can't connect to the SharePoint SQL Database. &nbsp;We've tried connecting with SQL Management Studio but can't. &nbsp;Is there a way to uninstall SharePoint and reinstall it again? &nbsp;We never have used it so there is no vital data we need. &nbsp;Actually we have another DC that is a Windows 2008 SBS that handles intranet for us with a totally different domain name. &nbsp;The Windows 2003 box has no users as it only does speech recognition for us so we really don't even need SharePoint on it but everybody says we must not remove it totally.<br />
<br />
Thanks
