Bug #: 50001813 (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.



SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft SQL Server 2005, you configure a merge replication that uses Web synchronization on a database. When the Web synchronization occurs, the W3WP.exe process of Internet Information Services (IIS) stops unexpectedly. Additionally, one of the following events is logged in the Application log:

Event 1

Event Source: Application

Event ID: 1000

Description:

Faulting application w3wp.exe, version 6.0.3790.3959, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 5.2.3790.3959, fault address 0x000290a1.

Event 2

Event Source: ASP.NET

Event ID: 1091

Description:

Failed to execute request due to unknown error. Error: 0x8007042b The process terminated unexpectedly.

Event 3

Event Source: Application

Event ID: 1000

Description:

Faulting application w3wp.exe, version 6.0.3790.3959, faulting module replrec.dll, version 2005.90.3042.0, fault address 0x00044d36.



CAUSE
This issue occurs because an access violation occurs in the merge replication. The access violation causes an error in the IIS application pool.



RESOLUTION
The fix for this issue was first released in Cumulative Update 4. For more information about how to obtain this cumulative update package for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Note Because the builds are cumulative, each new fix release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2005 fix release. Microsoft recommends that you consider applying the most recent fix release that contains this hotfix.

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 hotfixes are created for specific SQL Server service packs. You must apply a SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 hotfix to an installation of SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2. By default, any hotfix that is provided in a SQL Server service pack is included in the next SQL Server service pack.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
