COM+ : 8000FFFF - Catastrophic Failure
On a windows 2003 server, when we open Component services MMC --> complus Applications, we get the following error :
Catalog error: An error occured while processing the last operations
error code 8000FFFF - Catastrophic Failure
the event log may contain additional troubleshoooting information
The system was very sluggish and slow in responding.
we were not able to rebuild the COM+ catalog from Add/Remove windows components setup. It failed with the error :
Com+ setup error
Sub compoment com+ raised an exceptipn while processing the
OC_COMPLETE_INSTALLATION setup message
d:\nt\com\complus\src\complussetup\compluscore.cpp

Provided full permissions to Authenticated users on the

Should I be concerned or considering fixing this code error or is it just a message, stating that it simply did not work? - Anonymous

Error code 8000ffff is a bit generic in nature. In this case it indicates that for some reason we are not able to access the COM+ catalog. So, the error message COM+ 8000ffff does give you some insight into the problem and you would like to focus on all the things that could cause this error.
