i'm a sql novice as far as admin goes and trying to upgrade 2005 to 2008 and the upgrade advisor complained about global trace flags, that i assume have to be deleted or disabled, see below per the 2008 upgrade advisor msg:
Location: Startup/Enabled
Trace Flag: 8017
my current sql server 2005 has 2 instances, neither of which i installed. one comes from an hp print server and the other from installing visual studio 2005. i don't see any mgt panels anywhere to admin things like the trace flags. googling hasn't been much help for instance this looks good:

Trace flags can be set globally or per session. Global trace flags can be set at startup with the -T switch or can be set with the DBCC TRACEON and DBCC TRACEOFF command. DBCC TRACESTATUS is used to determine what flags are currently enabled.

but where/how do the above get done?

You run the DBCC commands in Management Studio.

DBCC TRACEOFF(8017)
