I have Orion NPM on a 2008 R2 box. I applied SP4 and recieved the following message when I browse the below web site. After spending a couple of hours on with the support they said there wasn't anything that could be done about it. Prior to installint SP4, the website worked fine. It appears that SP4 does not like IIS 7.5. From what it seems, the SP4 version doesn't know how to talk to the DB.
Has anyone else seen this problem or have any work arounds?
