I applied the Microsoft patch MS06-018 (KB913580) Vulnerability in Microsoft
Distributed Transaction Coordinator Could Allow Denial of Service on the
13th (4 days after it was issued) to my dedicated server (at a hosting site)
running SQL2K SP4. Since then, on two occasions, I needed to reboot my
server (Win 2K Server SP4) and the server took exceptionally long to boot
and then when I finally gained access to the server SQL Server EM could not
find my server (my databases were gone), I couldn't access Internet sites
with IE, and I couldn't even open the Control Panel to look at network
services. In the Services menu, it just said mssql.exe "Starting...". When
that service was stopped, the network stuff all happened and I could restart
SQL Server.
Excerpts from the SQL Server Log:
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.2039 (Intel X86)
May 3 2005 23:18:38
Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation
Standard Edition on Windows NT 5.0 (Build 2195: Service Pack 4)
Attempting to initialize Distributed Transaction Coordinator.
(12 -30 minutes later)
Failed to obtain TransactionDispenserInterface: Result Code = 0x8004d01b
Could not set up Net-Library 'SSNETLIB'..
Unable to load any netlibs.
SQL Server could not spawn FRunCM thread.
So, it seems a Microsoft patch has screwed up my life again (it took many
long reboots, calls to tech support, many hours of production server
downtime) with a patch. I plan to uninstall the patch (if I can).
How would I contact MS to resolve this issue? Have others experienced this
same issue? If I uninstall the patch won't that leave the server vulnerable?
Thanks for any help.
