Any system admins here?

Yes

A monitoring agent for a server became corrupt so I ran an uninstaller so I can install a new one with the current version. Well the uninstaller didn't work properly so what I did was completely remove any traces of the damn thing. Deleted all reg keys and temp files but the new agent won't run. Any clue what's going on?

have you tried rebooting?

Can't. It's a client's server. I work night shift so I can't call and ask for permission

Any updates happen recently?

And it's a 2007 SQL server -_-

No. Just a new version came out. This one failed to update automatically.

>Corrupt
So it's still running in memory, probably. Try using procmon and see if you can find traces of it and kill it with it.
Also, what happens when you run the new agent? What shows in event logs? Maybe they both share a dll that's fucked.

The event viewer just shows what I saw in task manager. The service would start and stop constantly. But now the service still shows in the services manager in the stopped status. The service won't start and says "the system cannot find the path specified." I'm sure that's because I deleted the registry keys

so the service is still there? man thats not really removing all traces...whats the uptime? just reboot the stupid thing....rebooting servers is inevitable

It's there now that I tried to run the new agent. It's labtech. Their shit is always so buggy

Umm, are you new? Remove the service manually

Shitty windows servers, shit tier sysadmins

If people report outages because you rebooted it, just blame this

I did that already. But when I try to put the new agent on it shows up as stopped and won't start

the world runs on shitty windows servers, shit tier admins, and shit software..if u havent realized this by now u must be new

newfag outed themself

I will schedule a time for a reboot. It's not a big emergency thing just an annoyance for me.

problem by now is that is sounds like you've done a really dirty uninstall/reinstall

Should've tried to see why the original service was not starting instead of forcefully trying to remove it. If it was a monitoring service, then it probably relies on some other things like network and other servers, maybe it lost connection to one of those, etc. and is waiting to talk to them and timed out.
Set the service to disable and stop it, it's likely that it's constantly crashing and restarting, at least disabled it won't do that, get the documentation for that service and see if it says anything about the paths and locations where it's installed. If it touches kernel, you are done. You will need to reboot. Just be sure you have a backup ready, just in case
