Comment on Because of an error in data encryption, this session will end by Cindy

I just want to thank you for this post. I was having this same issue using Remote Desktop to an Windows 2008 server.
It didn't matter how I was trying to connect, but this solution resolved the issue.

Thanks

checking the %temp$ dir helps immensely. my issue was that i had already installed SCOM DB's once prior to this SQL server and they were still there. Just deleted them and I'm in business.

Try copying it again, for some reason the text editor replaced "&" with "&".

Hi Michael,

What does your dbCreateWiz log say? It should be in %temp%.

I was able to get around the error by checking if the length is not greater than 13. That was the pattern i saw you can try this modification to the function if you like

/****** Object: UserDefinedFunction [dbo].[fn_ConvertDate] Script Date: 06/22/2010 15:21:56 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO

SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO

ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[fn_ConvertDate] (@Datetime BIGINT)
RETURNS DATETIME
AS
BEGIN

IF LEN(CAST(@DATETIME as varchar)) <= 13
BEGIN
DECLARE @LocalTimeOffset BIGINT
DECLARE @AdjustedLocalDatetime BIGINT
DECLARE @ReturnDate DATETIME

SELECT @LocalTimeOffset = DATEDIFF(SECOND,GETDATE(),GETUTCDATE())
SELECT @AdjustedLocalDatetime = (@Datetime – @LocalTimeOffset) / 1000

SELECT @ReturnDate = DATEADD(SECOND,@AdjustedLocalDatetime, CAST('1970-01-01 00:00:00' AS datetime))
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SELECT @ReturnDate = CAST('1970-01-01 00:00:00' AS datetime)
END

RETURN @ReturnDate
END
