Warning to Windows 2003 SP2 and SQL Server Users

I was asked to install SNMP on to a Windows 2003 SP2 SQL Server. I wish I had this information before I did this and bought down a national application for about 2500 users.

Installing SNMP on a Windows 2003 SP2 server with SQL Server installed

Be Warned!

If you are installing SNMP on a Windows 2003 SP2 server that has SQL server installed beware of the following.

The following services are automatically stopped without any notification to the user.

Microsoft SQL Server service
SQL Server Agent
MSDTC

These service are NOT restarted automatically.

If you downgrade to SP1 or are using any other O/S this does not happen.

This "feature" does not appear to have been advertised by Microsoft upon release of SP2 for Windows 2003.
