  2. Scroll down to SQL diagnostic manager and select Remove.
  3. Click Yes to the prompt asking if you want to completely remove SQL diagnostic manager.

A full install of SQL diagnostic manager installs the new SQLdm Services, link them to the restored SQLdm Repository, and install the SQLdm Console. For best results, use the following procedure for installing SQLdm:

  1. Log on with an administrator account to the computer on which you want to install the SQLdm services.
  2. Run Setup.exe in the root of the installation kit.
  3. Click SQL diagnostic manager on the Quick Start window.
  4. On the Welcome window of the setup program, click Next.
  5. Review and accept the license agreement by clicking I accept the terms in the license agreement, and then click Next.
  6. Accept the default folder for your SQLdm installation, or click Change to specify a different folder, and then click Next.
  7. Select your setup type and then click Next.
  8. Browse and select the SQL Server instance on the original computer that contains your SQLdm Repository, and click Next.
  9. Enter your service account credentials and click Next.
  10. Click Install to begin installing SQLdm with the options you have selected.

  2. Enter your new SQLdm license key.
  3. Add the SQL Server instances you want to monitor.
  4. Open the System Diagnostics utility by selecting Help > System Diagnostics.
