An MSDE instance should be visible as its own SQL Server registration under
enterprise manager. If, your application databases are stored within your
SQL Server instance, then it is logical (but not necessarily safe!) to
assume the MSDE instance is not being used for this purpose. However, it
might be worth adding the MSDE instance to EM to check.

MSDE does not come with the graphical tools, such as Enterprise Manager etc.

> I read somewhere in here that SQL server and MSDE can exist on the same
box. If that is true, how does the application know what instance to call
up? We bought an app from a vendor that apprantly uses MSDE, but I noticed
that SQL Server 2000 is on the same box. I can view the supposed MSDE
databases using the sql server Enterprise manager. When I go to the control
panel to the add/remove programs. It says that the MSDe is rarely used,
while the SQL server is used frequently.The app is used frequently. Can I
assume that we are not using the MSDE like I thought we were? Is it true
that the MSDE engine does not come with the grahpical tools?
