Issue/Introduction

Upgraded five GSS servers to version 3.3 RU8 and all were successful.  After a short amount of time, one of the servers started having the following issue:

  • When trying to start the GSS console the following message is seen: Windows could not start the Altiris Deployment Server DB management service on the local computer
  • When trying to start the Altiris DB service the following message is seen: Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly

The dbmanager.log includes the following:
