How to obtain Cumulative Update 3 for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2

loadTOCNode(2, 'moreinformation'); A supported cumulative update package is now available from Microsoft. However, it is intended to correct only the problems that are described in this article. Apply it only to systems that are experiencing these specific problems. This cumulative update package may receive additional testing. Therefore, if you are not severely affected by any of these problems, we recommend that you wait for the next SQL Server 2005 service pack that contains the hotfixes in this cumulative update package.

To resolve this problem, submit a request to Microsoft Online Customer Services to obtain the cumulative update package. To submit an online request to obtain the cumulative update package, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

Note If additional issues occur or any troubleshooting is required, you might have to create a separate service request. The usual support costs will apply to additional support questions and issues that do not qualify for this specific cumulative update package. To create a separate service request, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

I recently created a virtual directory within IIS 6.0 to house an internal web page structure. After creating the directory, I decided to test and see if all my permissions were correct, so I navigated to the page and received the following error:

You are not authorized to view this page

You might not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials you supplied.

HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden

After searching through various sites on permissions (even though I was sure I had them correctly set) I was about to give up, then decided to publish a single page to the directory. Once an .htm file was published to the directory, I was able to go right to it without problem. I'm chalking this up to the numerous "mystery" errors which are often thrown by IIS 6.0 - just wanted to make sure if anyone else had this problem they had at least one thing to try before losing more hair.

Now that I'm in my new job, I'm attempting to get back into my normal routine of reviewing SMS error logs and server event logs each morning, while at the same time complete a knowledge transfer before this Friday. This morning, while correcting some permissions problems on the SMS side, I came across two errors in the server application event logs I had not seen before:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: BINLSVC
Event ID: 1803
Description: An error occurred while attempting to locate the Service Control Point object for this Windows Deployment Services server in Active Directory Domain Services. There was an error reading the 'netbootSCPBL' attribute from the Computer object. Error Information: 0x2

Event Type: Error
Event Source: BINLSVC
Event ID: 1800
Description: An error occurred while creating the Service Control Point object for this Windows Deployment Services server in Active Directory Domain Services. Error Information: 0x20

After doing some research, I found KB927770:

Although my problem did not match the situation exactly I performed the resolution provided in the article and the errors cleared up immediately. Here is a rundown of the resolution presented:

RESOLUTION

Just a short note for everyone to let you know that I'm in Austin, TX now and will be posting again in a week or so, once I absorb what I need to for my new job.

Hope things are well for everyone!
