SqlNodeInstall task shows in scheduled tasks

[TonyKhela]

Hi,

After a SQL 2005 install on a Win 2003 cluster, I can see several tasks in Scheduled Tasks on each node called "SqlNodeInstall", "SqlNodeInstall_1", "SqlNodeInstall_2" etc. They do not have a schedule so are probably not causing any issues but still I would like a clean system.

My question is, what are these tasks and can I get rid of them without any negative effect?

Thanks in advance.

When you install SQL the passive node is installed via a scheduled task. If SQL is setup and running those scheduled tasks can be removed.
