Error Installing KB 970892 When Reporting Services Configured with Domain Account

For a little over a month, Windows Update was failing on one of the servers in the "Jameson Datacenter" (a.k.a. my home lab). Specifically, KB 970892 simply would not install on JUBILEE -- my Systems Center Operations Manager (SCOM) 2007 VM, that I use to monitor a number of physical and virtual machines.

Here's the first event I found regarding this error:

Log Name: Application
Source: MsiInstaller
Date: 10/27/2009 3:03:49 AM
Event ID: 10005
Task Category: None
Level: Error
Keywords: Classic
User: SYSTEM
Computer: jubilee.corp.technologytoolbox.com
Description:
Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services (64-bit) -- Error 29528. The setup has encountered an unexpected error while Setting reporting service and share point exclusion path. The error is: Fatal error during installation.

This was quickly followed by another error in the event log:

Log Name: Application
Source: MsiInstaller
Date: 10/27/2009 3:04:55 AM
Event ID: 1023
Task Category: None
Level: Error
Keywords: Classic
User: SYSTEM
Computer: jubilee.corp.technologytoolbox.com
Description:
Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services (64-bit) - Update 'GDR 4053 for SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 (64-bit) ENU (KB970892)' could not be installed. Error code 1603. Additional information is available in the log file C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Hotfix\RS9_Hotfix_KB970892_sqlrun_rs.msp.log.

Shortly thereafter, I started seeing the following error once every minute:

Log Name: Application
Source: Report Server (MSSQLSERVER)
Date: 10/27/2009 3:06:52 AM
Event ID: 107
Task Category: Management
Level: Error
Keywords: Classic
User: N/A
Computer: jubilee.corp.technologytoolbox.com
Description:
Report Server (MSSQLSERVER) cannot connect to the report server database.

Since I have Windows Update configured to automatically download and install updates every morning, the patch attempted to install each day -- but failed each and every time.

I have to admit that I've spent a fair amount of time troubleshooting this error over the past month, but since it wasn't a blocking issue -- just a particularly irritating annoyance -- I kept putting it off. [Honestly, I rarely look at the SCOM reports and instead rely mostly on email notifications and the Operations Manager Console.]

Fortunately, I finally managed to determine the root cause tonight and resolve the issue.

After downloading and installing the standalone patch installation, I discovered the following in the installation log:

MSI (s) (F0:54) [21:09:49:565]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL: C:\Windows\Installer\MSIAC31.tmp, Entrypoint: Do_RSSetSharePointExclusionPath

Windows Error Text: Source File Name: sqlca\sqliisca.cpp

As noted in KB 917826, there appears to be a known issue when Reporting Services is configured to run using a domain account. For JUBILEE, the ReportServer application pool was configured to run as TECHTOOLBOX\svc-mom-das (the SCOM data access service account). After changing the app pool to run as NetworkService instead, I ran the standalone install of KB 970892 and it completed successfully.

I then changed the app pool identity back to TECHTOOLBOX\svc-mom-das (since that appears to be how SCOM 2007 wants it configured) and verified that a couple of reports run successfully. Woohoo!

I'm crossing my fingers that tomorrow morning, Windows Update detects that KB 970892 is installed and no errors occur.

    Thank you Jeremy. I had a similar problem. I was getting SQL 2005 alerts on three of my servers in SCOM. Strangely enough I couldn't run Windows Update and install the SQL 2005 SP3 patch. In my instance, the SQL database (FSSMCDB) was running as a network service. I stopped the service, downloaded and installed the update, then restarted the service. Your experience helped me solve my problem.

    That appears to have solved problems installing SQL Server 2005 SP3 on Windows Server 2008 for me. Thanks for posting this!
