Re: Error Event ID 27745



I am getting a ton of these errors as well, with my own db names of course.

I have been searching and I find this error posted all over the internet
forums, and yet in every case there is not a solution! Just questions....

Is there any update from Microsoft about this?
Or do we need to open a case?

Thanks!

Hi Salim,

This might not be what you are asking me, but the event description seems to
be missing. This is caused by the event log being archived and then opened
on a machine that does not have WSS installed. If you could cut and paste
the event form the source machine, obfuscating security-sensitive fields,
then we could have a better shot at helping you.

However, it looks like WSS is trying to index your content, but cannot find,
or cannot connect to, the content DB. Have you done any of the following
recently:

1. moved the content DB
2. renamed the content DB
3. changed passwords for WSS services accounts
4. did a backup and restore

Since the last couple of days, i have been recieving an error in my
event log at around the same time every day. This is a multi server
farm. The error is as follows

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Windows SharePoint Services 3
Event Category: General
Event ID: 27745
Date: 8/22/2007
Time: 12:10:32 AM
User: N/A
Computer: xxxxxxx
Description:
The description for Event ID ( 27745 ) in Source ( Windows SharePoint
Services 3 ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the
necessary registry information or message DLL files to display
messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /
AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for
details. The following information is part of the event: #50071:
Unable to connect to the database WSS_Content on <our sql server>.
Check the database connection information and make sure that the
database server is running..

Has anyone had experience with this before ? The site seems to be
running ok, but the recurrence of the error every day is bothering
me.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks
