Hi
When we upgraded to v11.0.3 on Tuesday, PAH stopped working. Took us a while to realise, but it was actually a Windows update that broke it, not the Tessitura upgrade. (thanks Caryl @ RAH!)
Error in the PAH log is System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0xFFFFDF2B): Exception fromHRESULT: 0xFFFFDF2B
Does anyone know exactly which update it was? It takes ages uninstalling an update and we installed quite a lot of patches on Tuesday. Windows Server 2008.
Thanks!
Ian
We do not yet know which Windows update (or updates) caused this problem, but it is one (or more) of the following updates. These were applied by a US licensee this morning which caused the PAHT problem Ian notes; backing out these updates and rebooting the web server resolved the problem without needing to reinstall the PAHT service:
If we are able to determine the exact update or combination of updates that led to the PAHT problem we will pass on this information.

Hi Bob
Thanks - I can confirm that the update which stops it working (at least on our Windows 2008 server) is KB2698365.
I see that it patches an exploit in Microsoft Data Access Components, so that makes sense.

Hello,
At Melbourne Recital Centre we have just started receiving alerts in our live environment with this same error message. Error: 0xFFFFDF2B - COMException. We are currently restarting our PAHT service twice daily.
We are looking into whether the same windows update has caused issues for us, but wanted to see if anyone else has any further thoughts as to why this may be occurring?

Hi there,
We too are getting a COMException error. Is there an update as to which Windows update could cause this?
thanks,
frannie
