Event ID 3363 (Windows SharePoint Services health model)

  • Article

Applies To: Windows SharePoint Services 3.0

 

Warning

Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 uses SQL Server databases to store most of the content for the Web site and configuration settings. For example, all pages in the site, files in document libraries, files attached to lists, and information in lists are stored in the content database, and security and permission settings along with other configuration settings are stored in the configuration database in SQL Server.

Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 uses a service account to communicate with the database on behalf of a user request. This service account can be either a specific user name and password (domain name and password) or a predefined system account, such as Local System or Network Service. When a SQL Server database is created, a value for the maximum database size is set. Each database has a separate database size setting. Note that a Web application might be associated with one or many databases.

Install correct SQL Server version

The computer that hosts the database server role must have SQL Server 2000 with SP3a or later or Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SP1 or later. You can either install or upgrade the server to the correct version of SQL Server.

To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the SQL Server computer.

You must be a member of the SharePoint Administrators group to perform this task.

To ensure that any database issues have been resolved

  1. Use the command Stsadm.exe -o enumsites to list the sites for each Web application to list all sites in the various databases, and locate one site in each database.

  2. Browse to that site, and ensure that the appropriate page rendered. If you get an access denied page with an option to request access, or the option to sign in as a different user, the operation completed successfully.

  3. In Central Administration, on the left-hand navigation pane, click Application Management.

  4. On the Application Management page, in the SharePoint Site Management section, click Quota templates.

  5. On the Quota Templates page, create a new quota template. The specific settings are not relevant to this verification test. You are creating the template to see if it can be accessed in step 7.

  6. Click OK to save the quota template.

  7. Refresh the browser window, and then return to the quota templates page. If the quota template that you created can be selected, then access to the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Configuration database has been restored.

  8. Click Delete to delete the quota template.
