QFE Roll-ups for MOSS Content Deployment

Andrew talks a bit about it, and Saurabh provides a bit more detail.  These roll-ups fix issues that can occur using SharePoint's Content Deployment and Content Variations features, or any feature that depends on the PRIME API.  These roll-ups are only available via Microsoft Customer Support Services.  As with any QFE, these should only be applied to a production system if you are experiencing the related issues.  If you don't know what Content Deployment, Content Variations, or the PRIME API are, you probably don't require these patches and ought to wait until the next round of service packs.

My SharePoint Sessions at ]inbetween[

SeSecurityPrivilege Exception during SharePoint Deployment

 

We ran into this during a SharePoint installation today at a customer site. While running the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard, we received and error message after failing on step 2 that began, "The process does not possess the 'SeSecurityPrivilege' privilege." This happened even though the installation account was in a domain security group that was part of local admins. We needed to update Local Security Policy to make sure that the group in which the installation account is found has "Manage auditing and security log". We were then able to proceed with the installation.
