Hello - Im trying to get a full SQL server turned up for my organization. I have a series of duplicates of both installed instances and now duplicates of successfully uninstalled instances when I open SQL Server MGMT Studio and pull the drop down list of Databases available to connect to. Of course, the duplicates all error out since they are not valid. There are no folders from these instances in programs\SQL\. I have searched the registry for the instance names and have removed everything. Server's been rebooted, services restarted. None of the old instances are showing in the services console.
I know very little about SQL and I have spent 2 days now tearing up the search engines to try and find something similar. Nothing.... Thanks -
