FIM/MIM Troubleshooting : Error 25009: CONDITIONAL Failed - SET Options Incorrect 'ARITHABORT'

  • Article

Overview

The purpose of this wiki page is to cover a unique installation issue encountered today when installing the FIM Synchronization Service and using an existing database from MIIS 2003 SP2 ( 3.2.559 ).  This may be a one-off, but we also believe that it should be documented for us all to know about here.

Problem Statement

You decide to upgrade Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003 Service Pack 2 ( MIIS 2003 SP2 ( 3.2.559 ) using a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4 ( SQL Server 2000 SP 4 ) backend database server to Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager 2010 ( 4.0.2592 ) with a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 server. 

You back up the MIIS 2003 database (MicrosoftIdentityIntegrationServer) and restore the database to the SQL Server 2008 server as FIMSynchronizationService.

You open a Command-Prompt, by right-clicking Command-Prompt and selecting Run As Administrator.  You navigate to the location of the installation media and execute it with the MSIEXEC.EXE command-line to obtain a Windows Installer Verbose Log File. 

You receive the following installation error message.
