Got a beauty of an error on our Production farm every few seconds:

Event Type:        Error

Event Source:        Windows SharePoint Services 3

Event Category:        General

Event ID:        27745

Date:                23/04/2008

Time:                9:23:24 AM

User:                N/A

Computer:        CENTRALADMINSERVER

Description:

The description for Event ID ( 27745 ) in Source ( Windows SharePoint Services 3 ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: #50071: Unable to connect to the database SharePoint_Config on DATABASESERVERNAME\SQL01. Check the database connection information and make sure that the database server is running..

Also noticed that IIS Manager wasn't working correctly and sites weren't running on that server which is our Central Admistration Application Server for the farm...the Queen Bee!

Resolution

Restarting IIS on the Queen Bee server also seemed to kick start IIS back into action.

Thanks to Mickey for this one, basically restarting the Windows Services listed here fixes the event log errors:

  • Distributed Transaction Coordinator
  • Windows SharePoint Services Administration
  • Windows SharePoint Services Search
  • Windows SharePoint Services Timer
  • Windows SharePoint Services Tracing
