PRB: "Catastrophic Failure" Error Message When You Create an Organization in Messaging Manager (810818)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft BizTalk Server 2002
SYMPTOMSWhen you try to create an organization, either through
code or through the Messaging Manager application, you may receive the
following error message: Catastrophic
Failure
0x8000ffff CAUSEThis problem occurs because a registry value is missing or
has been corrupted.RESOLUTIONTo resolve this problem, reinstall BizTalk
Server 2002 while you are logged on locally to the server.STATUS
This behavior is by design.MORE INFORMATIONWhen you create organizations, the BizTalk Object model verifies the edition of the product that is installed by parsing a value from the
registry. This value is created during setup and is unique to each computer and
each installation. If this registry check fails, or if the value that is retrieved
is missing or has been corrupted, the function call returns 0x8000fff.
This
problem has been seen to occur on a server where BizTalk Server 2002 was
installed through Terminal Services. Installing Microsoft BizTalk Server by using
Terminal Services is not supported.
