You can delete an inactive DataServer broker for MS SQL Server from the management console.

If a broker is running, you cannot delete it. You must first stop the broker and then delete it.

To delete an MS SQL Server DataServer broker:

  1. Click Resources in the management console menu. All resources managed by your console appear in the grid frame.
  2. Filter or search for the MS SQL DataServer you want to delete.
  3. From the list, click the MS SQL DataServer broker. The MSS DataServer details page appears.
  4. Click Delete, and then click OK to confirm the deletion.
