Event Id 27745

This error message usually occurs with others such as Event Id 5586, Event Id 5586 and Event Id 27745. There are probably many ways to fix it, but this is what worked for me.

 

First try the easy way out:

1. Reboot your SQL Server

2. Reboot the remaining servers in the SharePoint farm

3. Run these scripts exactly as instructed, even if you did not change the passwords, just run it to remind SharePoint what the passwords were in teh first place. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934838/en-us

 

That might do the trick. If not:

1. Install WSS 3.0 SP1 and MOSS 2007 SP1

2. Repeat steps 1-4 above.
