Hi Ahmed,I have the same SP and CU versions and the same versions of DLL into the GAC.In the event log, i have just an critical event that says the psconfig is failed no more.MIKE

were you running this under the setup or service account? If not, then it may be that the account you were using doesn't have permissions.SharePoint MVP | Developer | Administrator | Speaker-- Twitter -- Blog - http://nextconnect.blogspot.com

I run with the setup account, this account have the all necassary rights because i have installed all servers with this account:This account is local admin of each server and he have the securityadmin and dbcreator rights into the SQL server.MIKE

Today I have speaking with a Microsoft Premier Engineer Field during a moss rap, I have told him about this issue and he told me that is cause by the CUs and now the sharepoint config DB is maybe corrupt because the error 1387 in uls logs means this fact...How I can check if really this db is corrupt? Because my farm seems to work fine?MIKE

Hi Mike,as you mentioned in the first post, you already have a SharePoint server running and connected to the SQL server.>> my farm seems to work finethis means that you can open your Central Administration, checkservices, and open your Sitesso what's wrong with the DBthe problem with the next server you are about to connect to SQLam I right?Best Regards, Ammar MCT http://ahmed-ammar.blogspot.com Posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Hi Ahmed,this means that you can open your Central Administration, checkservices, and open your Sitesso what's wrong with the DB--->Yesthe problem with the next server you are about to connect to SQLam I right?-->YesMIKE

Hi, Please try this from the new server 1. Open a command prompt window and change to the following directory: %COMMONPROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\12\bin 2. Run the following command: psconfig –cmd configdb –connect –server <database_server> -database <database_name> Note that the database_name above should be the name of the configuration database for the farm you want to connect to Best Regards, Ammar MCT http://ahmed-ammar.blogspot.com Posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Hi Mike,I am still suspect 2 issues:- the account you are using to connect to the SQL db- the current version of the Farm config db you are trying to conenct toBest Regards, Ammar MCT http://ahmed-ammar.blogspot.com Posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

I have this version :12.0.0.6510 but with the following patches :KB 970948 and 970946 not with that are specified on your links....MIKE

I think that these two KB has corrupted the config db, anyway to uninstall theses KB or to recreate the config db?MIKE

Hi Mike,I suggest to run December09 CU on the current SharePoint, to update the farm to be 12.0.0.6535 versionbackup all your databases before this,then run the same December09 CU on the new server and try to connect to the config db after this installationBest Regards, Ammar MCT http://ahmed-ammar.blogspot.com Posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Hi Ahmed,Good idea I will do that this next week and I give you feedback.regards,MIKE

hi Ahmed,I have applied the CU of december 2009 on the new server and on the servers who are members of the farms, same errors message :(Regards,MIKE

Hi,Finally i have rebuilded the farm with SP2 only, and now the farm works fine.Thanks you for your help.MIKE
