mmc register server wizard fails ...

  • Since last week Friday all our sql2000 mmc crash when we use the register server wizard and have it browsing for servers.

    AppName: mmc.exe  AppVer: 5.1.2600.0  ModName: semsfc.dll

    ModVer: 2000.80.760.0  Offset: 00020429

    My windows-admins are searching if it might be related to some security-hotfixes they've instaled,bot they don't have a clue yet.

    Anyone over here experiencing the same leap ?

  • You didn't say what service pack you're running.  You may want to try installing or re-applying SQL Server SP3 and see if this helps.  Can you ping the servers from the workstations you're attempting to connect from?  If so, TCP/IP is working but SQL Server can't connect as this is one of the main dll's used by MMC.  Failing that, you may need to re-install the client on the affected workstations.  FYI - we loaded the MS04-004 and 007 security patches on all our systems and I haven't seen this problem...yet.  Hope this helps and best of luck. 

    My hovercraft is full of eels.

  • all clients are on winXP sp1 with SQL2k sp3a (re-apply did not help).

    ping is no problem.

    I can register the sqlserver when I don't have EM browsing for servers.

    SQLServiceManager also flips and crashes.(it always browses for servers)

    It looks like drWatson dumps, but I cannot determine why it occures since last week.

    If I come up with something, I'll post it.
