You receive an error message when you specify an audience compilation schedule in SharePoint Portal Server 2003

SYMPTOMS

When you try to compile an audience, or specify an audience compilation schedule in your portal in Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003, you receive an error message that is similar to one of the following:
An error occurred while setting the schedule. Please check below for details.
-or-
An error has occurred while accessing SQL database or system resources. If this is the first time you have seen this message, please try again later. If this problem persists, please contact your administrator.

CAUSE

This problem occurs if both of the following conditions exist:

In this scenario, when you try to compile an audience, or create an audience schedule, you should receive the following error message instead of the error messages that are described in the "Symptoms" section of this article:

  1. Start SharePoint Central Administration.
  2. Under Server Configuration, click Configure Server Farm Account Settings.
  3. In the Configuration Database Administration Account area, click to select the Specify account check box.
  4. Enter the user account in the Domain\username format, and then type the password in the Password and Confirm Password boxes.
  5. Click OK, and then wait for the changes to be propagated to the portal.

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
