Due to the security recommendation, i will need to uninstall the unused SSRS and SSIS component from a production cluster SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1, so what is the caveats and what do I require to do to ensure the Database engine still up and running ?

Thanks, Al

For what it's worth, a quick way to accomplish this is to merely shutoff the SSRS and SSIS services in the SQL Server Configuration Manager. – JHFB Jun 27 '12 at 13:26

Which versions of Windows Server and SQL Server are you using? – swasheck Jun 27 '12 at 14:05
I want to say that you can do this while everything is online, but I don't know for sure. That said, since you're in a cluster scenario, the worst case would be to fail all instances off one node at a time to do the uninstall, and repeat until it's been removed from all the nodes. Do you have a downtime SLA? – Jon Seigel Jun 27 '12 at 16:29

Neither of these components are cluster aware and they will be separate from the database install, so you would just run the SQL 2008 R2 Add/Remove programs from the control panel of each cluster node and select uninstall for both of these components. A reboot may be required to take effect.

Thanks Jason, so in this case I do it for all of my DB instance from the passive node first, fail over and do the active node ? – Albert Widjaja Jun 27 '12 at 23:41

For the least amount of downtime I think that would be the best plan. – Jason Cumberland Jun 28 '12 at 4:06

Just blast RS and IS. The cluster could care less. – ooutwire Jun 28 '12 at 6:18
So did this work for you Albert? – Jason Cumberland Aug 30 '12 at 20:54
