Bug #: 50000664 (SQL Hotfix)



Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2005 fixes as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2005 fix release.



SUMMARY
This article describes the following about this hotfix release:
 * The issues that are fixed by the hotfix package
 * The prerequisites for installing the hotfix package
 * Whether you must restart the computer after you install the hotfix package
 * Whether the hotfix package is replaced by any other hotfix package
 * Whether you must make any registry changes
 * The files that are contained in the hotfix package



SYMPTOMS
When you use SQL Server Profiler to monitor an instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services, SQL Server Profiler stops monitoring the instance after a time.

This problem occurs if the following conditions are true:
 * The value of the AdminTimeout property for the instance is not 0.
 * The value of the ServerTimeout property for the instance is larger than 0.

For example, if the value of the AdminTimeout property is 3,600, SQL Server Profiler stops monitoring the instance after 1 hour.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because SQL Server Profiler uses a time-out value that is the same as the value of the ServerTimeout property for the instance.
