I've also had this error when importing and exporting site collections on both pre & post SP1 environments (as well as various other stsadm commands also).
My point is, due to the generic error message, more information will need to diagnose and find the correct solution to get past this problem, rather than installing a hotfix and hoping it will work.. Troubleshooting 101. J That being said, Id highly recommend getting to SP1 as soon as possible due all the typical advantages of installing Service Packs (performance, bug fixes,.. the usual service pack items). Note: Please use a test environment prior to installing SP1 on your production environment.

I remember it having an issue with the OOTB workflow. I'll look around and see if I can find the kb article. _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Daniel Brown Sent: Thursday, 19 March 2009 2:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: STSADM import [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED] Having SP1 installed or not won't really help diagnose the error. Are you able to check the logs and see if there are any extra information, i.e ULS logs (typical found in the 12 hive at c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\LOGS) or event viewer?
