Hi,
Whenever we attempt to send mail through SQL database mail in SQL 2005, the server logs register following error:
Error: Exception Type:
Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SqlIMail.Server.Common.BaseException
Message: Mail configuration information could not be read from the
Exception Type: System.IndexOutOfRangeException
Later I have found some website refers to update the service pack and apply the latest cumulative update. The Service pack 4 was already applied in the server, hence I tried to apply the Cumulative update -3 alone as mentioned in the article
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2507769
But the CU has failed to update with the following error: The product instance SQL Tools has had update 5069 installed. You do not need to install this update. An update equal to or greater than 5320 should be downloaded.
Then I have found a GDR hot fix (KB2716429) which is a security update of SQL server 2005 has blocked the CU-3 update.
How to proceed from this moment?
Thanks
