Calling PSS now L

 

Thanks for all the links, alas nothing worked. Having paid my £200+vat (around 
$400) I've just been told they will call me back with 48 hours....which is nice 
:S

Can't tell from the solution exactly, but it sounds like the account you're 
logged on with might not have enough permission to do what it needs.  I think 
s/he meant to say that the service account (one that runs the SSP) was logged 
on when running the command to fix it?

Tried that L

 

Though running that batch file (I did it by hand) I do get the following;

 

*** Updating ssp password for upgraded installs

 

Invalid shared services provider

 

And the log shows one reference to SharedServices1 which is an SSP.

Sounds like a service account issue.  Maybe one of these will help?

Hi chaps,


I'm trying to upgrade from Sharepoint Services 3 to Microsoft Office 
SHarepoint Server 2007. 

I have a problem when running the Sharepoint Products and Technologies 
Configuration Wizard in the Office Server program group. It runs 
through fine, but displays a failed status at the end. 

The event log has this in it; 

Event Type: Error 
Event Source: SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration 
Wizard 
Event Category: None 
Event ID: 104 
Date:  8/13/2008

Description:

It refers to "The specified account name is invalid" only i havent 
been asked for an account name yet. Currently MOSS isnt working and 
neither is SPS now, so I'm up against it. 

Has anyone else seen this ? Can anyone help ?  I can't find anything about this 
specific error on the googleynet or on any of the common sharepoint forums so I 
thought I would ask the collective nerd-mind.
