Transaction count after EXECUTE indicates that a COMMIT or ROLLBACK TRANSACTION statement is missing. Previous count = 0, current count = 1. For more information, see Help and Support Center at

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Discussed previously herehttp://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointadmin/thread/9a262f04-a6a5-4c30-97f2-588174b617c1Scot

Thanks Scot I did read that thread, but sadly it doesnt have a resolution. I tried what Lu recommended. I also have the IisWebSiteSequence Upgrade Job which wont delete, throwing the same message. Any help on resolving the IisWebSiteSequence Upgrade Job? The server is win2k3, and sharepoint doesnt have SP1 (or didnt prior to install of SP2). I have no customisations, but had extended the app pool. David

This is now a recurring error on our Central Admin box: Event ID: 5214 Insufficient SQL database permissions for user '' in database 'SharePoint_Config' on SQL Server instance 'SQL2005CL\INST1'. Additional error information from SQL Server is included below. The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'proc_getObjectsByClass', database 'SharePoint_Config', schema 'dbo'. This error seems to point to an issue that was resolved by some hotfixes back in Aug 2008 (956056 and 956057) The schema dbo is the server farm account which is the owner of the SharePoint_Config db.

Hi dmce, Could you first explain the sentence having problems with the database version not being consistent? I dont quite understand the meaning of this sentence. Regarding the event id 5214, it is generated because the account running on timer job service does not have dbowner permissions on the SharePoint configuration database. I suggest you go to services.mmc to check the account of Windows SharePoint Services Timer and ensure that this service account has dbowner permission on SharePoint configuration database in SQL. After resolving the event 5214, you can uninstall SP2 and reinstall it to see if this time the post configuration can run successfully. Hope this helps. Lu Zou

Hi Lu After installing SP2 i was getting: The schema version (3.1.3.0) of the database WSS_Content_Testsite on SQL2005CL\INST1 is not consistent with the expected database schema version (3.1.8.0) on GON1SHP001. Connections to this database from this server have been blocked to avoid data loss. Upgrade the web front end or the content database to ensure that these versions match. However, i no longer get this error and all seem to report the correct version (6421) The timer job runs under SVC_SPConfig which i understand to be the farm account (aka db access). If i look at the sharepoint config db in SQL manager, this account is in the role db_owner. I tried to follow the least privileges accounts for our install. The owner of the config db is a different account (SVC_SPSetup). We have one central admin box and two front ends. Also, i wasnt aware you could uninstall SP2? David

Hi David, The 2007 Microsoft Office Service Pack 2 is the first service pack to support uninstall of client updates through the Microsoft Service Pack Uninstall Tool for the 2007 Microsoft Office Suite as well as via Windows Installer command line. The Service Pack Uninstall Tool will be available as a separate download. However before uninstall SP2 I think we can try the method below first to see if it can resolve the problem you mentioned. Dont forget to backup your database. 1. Remove the content Dbs run STSADM.EXE o deletecontentdb for each Web Application 2. Run PSCONFIG.EXE - cmd upgrade - inplace b2b wait -force 3. Add the content Dbs to the Web Applications run STSADM.EXE o addcontentdb Let me know the result if possible, thanks. Lu Zou

Hi If i try to remove a content DB is get "Object not set to an instance of an object". I also get have an issue that stops me creating new web apps, complaining that it cant decrypt or encrpyt credentials. I cant update the farm account credentials because the "Administration Application Pool Credential Deployment " job is still listed (and has been for days). I cant manually delete it because it again complaines about "Object not set to an instance of an object". It has gotten to the stage where this install is going to be rebuilt. However someone kindly deleted a site collection and i want to get into that Database to get some content out of it. I cant create a new web app due to above, and if i reattach the db to an exisitng web app, it shows it having no sites. David

We have th exact same error and i have MS on the case now. They have been trying to fix this for the last 3 days. How it started was when we installed SP2 and ran out of disc space. The install errored and we finally managed to get some space. Installed SP2 and ran the config as it should. All good and now issues until a couple of days later when the above error started. We have checked the database agains a stage environment that we have and the config database is identical to the production one. So there are no missing procedures and permissions are all good. So at the moment we are waiting for MS. Its all fun and games with MOSS 2007

any positive outcome or resolution?

I think I had simular situation when I installed SP2 on my SharePoint web farm. Read this http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/sharepointadmin/thread/f6f9b8e5-131c-40e3-8186-77ffbd0a277d. I spend a mounth to figure out what is wrong and finally I found that SharePoint binaries were differen on servers in my web farm. But in the same time SharePoint shown the same version on all servers. Oleg

i dont se any resolution there either

In my case the resolution was rebuild all servers in web farm by using the same process. (the same installation CD and SPs). I spend hours on MS support call and I sent tons of logs to MS support. They could not help me. Oleg
