BUG #: 351605 (SHILOH_BUGS)



SYMPTOMS
A call to the xp_sqlagent_proxy_account extended stored procedure fails and returns this error message:

The handle is invalid.



CAUSE
SQL Server is running on a Microsoft Windows NT Backup Domain Controller (or a Microsoft Windows 2000 Domain Controller that does not have the Flexible Single Master of Operations [FSMO] Primary role). Running the same extended stored procedure on a Primary Domain Controller or a standalone server does not cause the problem to occur.



RESOLUTION
A supported fix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to correct the problem that is described in this article. Apply it only to computers that are experiencing this specific problem. This fix may receive additional testing. Therefore, if you are not severely affected by this problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next SQL Server service pack that contains this hotfix.

To resolve this problem immediately, contact Microsoft Product Support Services to obtain the fix. For a complete list of Microsoft Product Support Services phone numbers and information about support costs, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

NOTE: In special cases, charges that are ordinarily incurred for support calls may be canceled if a Microsoft Support Professional determines that a specific update will resolve your problem. The typical support costs will apply to additional support questions and issues that do not qualify for the specific update in question.
