Re: Event 1000 Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 Error

Let's take this one at a time and stop ripping things out so drastically :-)

First off what exact error message do you get?

I've not seen Exchange pop connector get mangled by removing SQL so lets debug that separately.

Feel free to start a new thread.

I have my server a total mess for a week...
Due to this update...
I realized what caused it 3 days after...
I tried to fix it on my own and now I think I got a bigger problem...
First I read about WUS could cause the problem... So I uninstalled it.
After that, I had all SQL server instances to a complete stop.
They don't start and I get an error: "The system could not find the specified file"
WHAT FILE?????

And it gets worst!
Exchange pop3 connector fails with the same error.
I need help... I don't want to try any other solution unless someone garantees it will work for sure.
I will call MS again, because in my country on the day after the update the answer was: "It's hardly an update issue, but you can fill a form for a paid support". I paid a lot for this software. The last thing I wanted to hear was something like that.
I'll call them again tomorrow. I'm willing to pay, anyone that solves me this issue... :(

It IS widespread - SBS is used by small companies who often don't have dedicated IT staff - they are obliged to trust Microsoft's expertise. So when an update is pushed out that kills something as inherently flakey as SQL it is MS who should stand up and be counted. The 'I'm not bothered, it is only the small guys who are suffering' approach will prove very expensive for our MS oriented community if we aren't careful.

I don't see symantec as an admirable model to copy in that respect.

You have a backup of the entire server, yes?

You control patching, yes? I'm not trying to be mean here but patching SQL should be planned.

And these patches don't barf on everyone, so this isn't widespread.

I think I found my answer and it doesn't look good. Our drives are mirrored, but Volume Shadow Copy for C Drive is disabled. Volume Shadow Copy for D Drive is enabled. [Naturally, the information is on C Drive.] If anyone has any suggestions, i would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you,
Ed Podowski

P.S. I'll take responsibility for not having a backup and / or volume shadow copy enabled, but Microsoft should take responsibility for publishing a patch that is causing millions of dollars in loss productivity.

Microsoft should be responsible for doing a back up before applying any update. What is the first rule before you update - Backup?

If you are from Microsoft, please do not respond to my P.S. I just need this fixed.

Thanks for posting this.

I am experiencing the same problem and do not have a backup. How do use shadow copy to restore the file?

Thank you!

Hi

I'm using Small Business Server 2003. At 3 am this morning, my MSSQL$Sharepoint service stopped running and the server restarts by itself, most probably due to an update. And this morning when I came to work, I discovered that when I try to access http://companyweb/, I receive the "Cannot connect to the configuration database." error message. I followed KB823287 and KB833183, but still couldn't access the website. I managed to ping, nslookup, and even login to the SQL server successfully.

I checked my Events Log, and discovered that the Event 1000 Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 Error appeared almost every 5 seconds. The error description reads, "#50070: Unable to connect to the database STS_Config on servername\MICROSOFT##SSEE. Check the database connection information and make sure that the database server is running."

Besides, it sometimes accompanied with a 18456 Failure Audit, which reads, "The description for Event ID ( 18456 ) in Source ( MSSQL$MICROSOFT##SSEE ) 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: NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE, [CLIENT: <named pipe>]."

What can I do? Please advise, thank you.
