Hi,

Windows SBS 2008 premium. 10 users. exchange, shared docs.

I set up this network 6 months ago and since day 1 I've had a LOT of errors
in the Application event log, error 2424 and error 18056. I've done a lot of
research into these errors and found there were plenty of other people
experiencing the same thing. I've tried a lot of fixes that were suggested
and none of them have worked.

My question is simple, can I uninstall Sharepoint without losing other
functionality. We don't use SP 3.0 at all (as far as I know).

My 2nd question would then be with regards to uninstalling it. Do I just
remove it via control panel or is there more to it?

Kind regards

Why not just disable it?
SBS is a very tightly integrated solution and typically does not react well to simply uninstalling.

What exactly did you follow?

Don't uninstall it. Do install www.sbsbpa.com as that would have also
let you know what to do.

Hi,

Thanks for the replies.

OK - I won't uninstall. When you say "disable it" do you mean turning off
the SP services and setting them to not start up automatically?
