I have 2 database server and they are replicated each other. I upgraded SQL2008 R2 SP2 secondary server which works fine. But the primary server. when I run the upgrade, it was taking ages. So I thought it is not working due to MSSQLSERVER services. So I turned off the service while the upgrade was stack in middle. Just after I turned off that service, after 30 second, I got update is completed successfully. But now I am getting error 18401. bellow are the details. I followed the workaround steps from here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2163980
So I can log in when the flag is turned on in step 1. But after step 10, I am now trying to relogin, and getting the same error.
Any help please !!!!
