Hey Community,
Just to make you all aware that the Prime Rollup update is now available on request for Premier customers if required now, taking you to build 12.0000.6315.5000 and publicly available in June 2008. This hotfix come in the standard way of a WSS fix [KB Article Number(s): 942489, 952698] and a MOSS fix [KB Article Number(s): 942489, 952704]. There are a lot of fixes within this prime rollup from a publishing perspective [CMS].
Issue:
With regards to applying this build 12.0000.6315.5000 once you have applied the fixes that there is an slight issue starting the "SPAdmin Service". The timeout period for this service is to short and you will get an error in the Event Logs showing an error of "The service process could not connect to the service controller".
If you try to manually start this service this is not possible. To successfully start the SPAdmin service you have to modify/add two registry values:
1. HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetControl -> add/modify DWORD value ServicesPipeTimeout to 60000 (60 seconds) [Make sure the base type is decimal]
2. HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetControl -> add/modify STRING value WaitToKillServiceTimeout to 120000 (120 seconds) [Make sure the base type is decimal]
3. Reboot the server
4. Manually start the SPAdmin service using: net start spadmin
