SYMPTOMS
If the SQL Server Service is stopped when you try to manage or delete Office Web Subscriptions using the Office Server Extensions Administration Pages, the page seems to freeze and the processor runs at 100 percent.

NOTE: The Office Server Extensions Administration Pages are located at http:///msoffice/msoadmin/. To manage Web Subscriptions, use http:///msoffice/msoadmin/delsubs.asp (where  is the name of your Office Extended Web Server).



CAUSE
The code within the Delsubs.asp page contains a loop that continuously tries to enumerate the subscriptions. When the SQL service is stopped, the ASP page ignores the failure and tries to enumerate the subscriptions anyway. This creates an infinite loop to populate the grid control where Web subscriptions are managed and thereby uses 100 of the processor.

The World Wide Web Publishing Service must be restarted on the server to end the loop.



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

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

WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, stop and restart the World Wide Publishing Service on the server. After you do so, the CPU drops back to normal operating levels.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Office 2000 Server Extensions. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Office 2000 SR-1/SR-1a.



MORE INFORMATION
This occurs on Internet Explorer version 4.0 and later, version 5 and later, and Netscape Navigator 4.51.
