Removal
Server
To completely remove the XProtect Central Server, you must remove the server software as well as
the Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition acting as XProtect Central’s database.
Removing the Server Software
To remove the XProtect Central Server, do the following on the computer on which XProtect Central
Server is installed:
1.
Open Windows' Control Panel by selecting Start > Control Panel.
2.
In the Control Panel, select Add or Remove Programs. This will open the Add or Remove
Programs window.
3.
In the Add or Remove Programs window’s list of currently installed programs, select
Milestone XProtect Central Server, click the Remove button and follow the instructions.
4.
When ready, close the Add or Remove Programs window and the Control Panel window.
Removing the SQL Server Database
Removing the database will delete all alarms generated in your XProtect Central solution; you will
thus not be able to see the alarm information again. As opposed to alarm information, video
recordings will not be deleted by removing the XProtect Central database, as video is stored in
separate databases and/or archives for the surveillance system servers.
To remove the Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition acting as XProtect Central’s database, do the
following:
1.
Open Windows' Control Panel by selecting Start > Control Panel.
2.

Programs window.
3.
In the Add or Remove Programs window’s list of currently installed programs, select
Microsoft SQL Server, and click the Remove button. This will open the Microsoft SQL Server
Uninstall window.

components check box is selected, then select the instance VIDEOOS_CENTRAL: Database
Engine.
