SharePoint User Group UK

Hi,

New to this forum and not 100% with Sharepoint but learning and enjoying it!!!!

Just wondered if anyone has an idea on what this problem is:

Event ID is 1000 and the source is Windows SharePoint Services 2.0.

Descr:
#50070: Unable to connect to the database SPS01_Config_db on <ServerName>. Check the database connection information and make sure that the database server is running.

Users can connect and perform browsing etc ok but the event log is littered with this entry every 20seconds.

Am really confused as the SQL database is up and running, permissions appear to be ok and there are no other issues, I have tried the MS fixes 1. Adding a reg key into the SPTimer. 2. Setting the application pool settings to an exitsting pool.

Thanks for any advice.

Thanks Andrew,

I have checked your suggestions, the Oledb32.dll is at 2.82. and if I understand your point about the Application pool/timer service it has an identity using a different account. I have checked the timer service on the indexing server as well as the web server and they are both setup the same.

I did test the KB article in our pre production environment but not on all servers so will revisit this.

Thanks for your help.
