I had an SP1 install die on me. The cause was my fault, I used my personal domain account for the SharePoint Search Service (BAD idea), and a few days before the SP1 install my password reset and I changed it, so the service was still making use of my old Password, I didn't notice this and should have updated the credentials used before running SP1.
When the upgrade tried to start-up the SharePoint Search Service it errored due to wrong credentials, so the SP1 upgrade bombed out. I wasted a few more hours trying to resolve the issue with no luck, in the end I gave up and completely uninstalled and re-installed MOSS and restored my sites to get my development environment back up again. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daniel Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, 2 February 2008 9:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [OzMOSS] Sharepoint SP1 installation failure Just a quick note on my dealings with SP1. Clean installs for me, it’s always just gone on with no problem. If the site has anything in it bar a default team site or another standard template.. wham, a magnitude of errors. I’m 0 for 2 attempts to install it on a instance with any substance due to all these kind of “funky” and obscure errors. Such as that the process that is running inside of STDADM is preventing the current one. Try running this one again during the running of the config wizard??? However, last time I did get to step 9 or 9 before it bombed out on be. Hopefully 3rd time is a charm! Just a FYI thing / mini rant about SP1 :P Daniel Brown Blog: http://www.danielbrown.id.au<http://www.danielbrown.id.au/> Mobile: 0419-804-099 Adelaide SharePoint User group http://www.sharepointusers.org.au/Adelaide From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian H. Madsen Sent: Saturday, 2 February 2008 12:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [OzMOSS] Sharepoint SP1 installation failure Hey Guys, I’m hoping somebody here can shed some light on a problem i’m facing. I have a virtual environment (my development environment) which is a self-contained domain/sql/sharepoint server + development tools – and i’m trying to install Sharepoint SP1. I install WSS 3.0 SP1, close the configuration manager, run the Sharepoint SP1 installation and then the configuration manager (as has been advices all over the interweb). Both installs just fine. But, the configuration manager dies just after i’ve been informed that i have to run the update on all farm servers etc. I click “OK” and then BANG – it fails. The error is an IdentityNotMapped exception. I cannot, for the life of me get this resolved. After this, naturally WSS and Sharepoint is dead. Cannot roll it back so i have to bring up one of my virtual image backups (yes, virtulisation does have its uses). Does anybody have any ideas as to what is causing this? I’ve checked the credentials for the SQL Server, the service accounts and the application pools..everything is honky dorry. I’ve tried to install this update 8-9 times so far – all have failed at approximately the same place each time.
