Can anyone help?
We are using SBS 2003 Standard Edition without the new SP1
An overnight update is failing (every night). The event log lists two
errors:-
Error 1023
Product: Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine - Update
'{1F506503-186B-4D88-81B3-7113B9457C9D}' could not be installed. Error code
1603. Additional information is available in the log file C:\WMSDEHotfix.log.

Error 10005
Product: Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine -- Internal Error 2727.
DatabaseRepl.185C1D8F_1545_4277_BB64_857D2622DB57

The last lines of a very large WMSDEHotfix log show:-

Any ideas?
