SP3 - mmc.exe fails to load

  • After installing Service Pack 3, Enterprise Manager (the Microsoft Management Console plugin) refuse to load, bombing out with "mmc.exe generated errors.."

    I note from the MSM Communities that various people have been having this problem. Anyone got a soln yet ?

  • mmc.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows.

    You will need to restart the program.

    An error log is being created.

  • What error is reported in the error log?

  • Which error log ? Event Viewer ?

  • Which error log ?

  • from my ng post...

    I found what fixed our problem.... On my test server, I had the Hide Server

    box checked (Sql Server Network Utility -> TCP/IP -> Properties) As soon as

    I unchecked it, restarted my test server, all worked as it did before. I

    have had the box checked for awhile (a month or two for sure), so maybe this

    is a sp3 issue because all worked ok until i put sp3 on it (testbox).

    Anyway, works for now and i reckon my test server won't be hidden....

    From someone at ms....

    This looks like MDAC bug 94620 and has been fixed after the version of MDAC

    that ships with SP3.
