SYMPTOMS
If either one or multiple users try to deploy multiple solutions simultaneously to the same server, one or more of the following conditions may occur:  The multiple deployments are never completed. (If you try to start more than one deployment, successive deployments will not be completed until the first deployment is completed successfully.) SQL Server Agent no longer runs until the server is shut down and restarted. modTBAD still appears in server memory. The server crashes. You receive the follow error message:

Permission denied

Unable to create the MODTBAD object on server 'server'. Please verify that the Access Workflow Designer server components are correctly installed and that you have DCOM Launch and Access permission for the MODTBAD object on the server. You must be an administrator or a member of the modAppOwners Windows NT group on the server to perform this task. For information about server setup, see the topic "Installation and Setup" in the Administrator's Guide (modAdminGuide.chm).





CAUSE
All deployments initiated after the first initiated deployment will not finish deploying until the first initiated deployment is finished.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain Microsoft Office 2000 Developer Service Release 1 (SR-1).

To obtain SR-1, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

253566 MOD2000: How to Obtain and Install Microsoft Office 2000 Developer Service Release 1 (SR-1)

To temporarily work around this problem, coordinate deployments among the deployment team. Only one deployment to one server should occur at any point in time.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
To reproduce the symptoms, do either of the following.

Deploy Two Solutions from the Same Client:

 * 1) At one client computer, deploy a solution.
 * 2) Immediately deploy it a second time, not letting the first deployment finish before starting the second one.

Note that neither of the deployments is ever finished, that the modtbad.exe process is never terminated, and that the modtbad.exe process keeps memory in use.

While in this state, any future deployments (from either the same or different client computers) cause more memory to be used and never released.

Deploy Solutions from Two Clients at Once:

 * 1) Use Team Solutions Manager to deploy a template to a server.
 * 2) On a different client computer, start Team Solutions Manager.
 * 3) Click Next.

Note that the second Team Solutions Manager screen is frozen until the first deployment is finished.
