Or just set the MSSQL database service on the existing server to disabled,
reboot the server and try using legato. Once it runs for a few days without
issues, then do the un-install.

Hi
Simple enough to prove to a non technical mind :
Install a Windows Server virtual machine (vmware) then install a networker
server on it (free for testing the first 40 or so days) and show your boss that
there is not a trace of a ms sqlserver engine or database.
Kind regards
