283811 has not been updated for changes in sp4... I'm still trying to figure
it out what is missing...
so far I'm still trying troubleshooting it..
I tryed "propagating" file permissions to all sub folders as described, as
long as assigning registry permissions as
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\Setup (READ)
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\MSSQLServer (FULL CONTROL)
for the account running SQL Server and
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\SQLSERVERAGENT (FULL CONTROL)
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\Client\SuperSo cketNetLib\LastConnect
(FULL CONTROL)
HKLM\Software\Description\Microsoft\Rpc\UuidTempor aryData (FULL CONTROL)
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\Setup (READ)
HKLM\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI (FULL CONTROL)
for the account running the Agent...
making those accounts member of the local sysadmins WinNT role
it seems to work, but I'm not completely confident about that...
feedback is welcome :D:D
but I definitevely hope kb article 283811 gets updated
