SYMPTOMS
When you use the Component Services Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in to delete a user from the Administrator role in the system application, you may receive the following error message:

An error occurred while processing the last operation.

Error Code 80010105 - The server threw an exception.

The event log may contain additional trouble shooting information.



CAUSE
This problem occurs when you define 17 or more users in roles for all of the COM+ applications. The problem occurs because of a query problem in the COM+ registration database in which the registration database is accessed incorrectly. The COM+ registration database is located in the \Registration folder.

In this case, COM+ requests a two-column query that asks for an indexed search by primary key on the RoleConfig table. However, the primary key in the RoleConfig table has three columns. Because the COM+ database support code does not check for errors on parameters, COM+ returns a first chance access violation in the system application after COM+ steps off array boundaries because COM+ assumes there are three columns. This problem is specific to 17 or more roles because there are more bad pointers when many records exist in the RoleConfig table.
