Article ID:920707
Last Review:October 27, 2006
Revision:1.3

SYMPTOMS

After you install the Microsoft SQL 2000 Management Pack for Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) 2005, you may receive the following error messages in the MOM 2005 alert messages for SQL Server:
Unable to expand message 17055 [-1073724769] 8957 DBCC CHECKALLOC (OnePoint) executed by NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM found 0 errors and repaired 0 errors.
SQL Server is unable to collect events due to insufficent permissions: Unable to expand message 17177 [1073759001] 1796 6/25/2004 5:05:55 AM 6/25/2004 10:05:55 AM
This problem occurs when the MOM 2005 action account is configured to run in low-privilege scenarios.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the service account under which the MOM service is running does not have access to the following resource files:
•SQLEVN70.rll
•SQLAGENT.dll
Additionally, the Network Service account is not added to the discretionary access control list (DACL) for these files during setup. Therefore, if the MOM service account runs under the Network Service account, the service will not have access to these files.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, add the service account under which the MOM service is running to the DACL for the following files:
•\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Binn\Resources\1033\SQLEVN70.rll
•\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Binn\SQLAGENT.dll
Note You should grant the read and execute permissions to the service account under which the MOM service is running to the DACL.

MORE INFORMATION
