PRB: Service Pack Setup May Fail If Probe Login or User Deleted (169603)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q169603 SYMPTOMS
The SQL Server service pack Setup program may fail if the 'probe' user has
been removed from the master database or if the 'probe' login does not
exist. The failure message is:
Setup initialization could not be successfully completed.
ISQL.EXE could not be executed. Please check the relevant .OUT file.
In the Instrepl.out file, you will find the following output:
Adding logins and users for replication.
Msg 4604, Level 16, State 1, Server XYZ, Line 1
There is no such user probe.
CAUSE
The Instrepl.sql script attempts to grant permissions to execute a
replication stored procedure. If the probe user does not exist, this GRANT
fails, causing the service pack Setup to fail as well.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, add the probe login and user to the master
database, using the following process:
use master
go
exec sp_addlogin probe, NULL, master
exec sp_adduser probe
go
From ISQL/w, open the Procsyst.sql script in the Mssql\Install directory
and run this stored procedure. This will grant other permissions to the
probe that are necessary for using Performance Monitor.
