Authorization Manager-enabled applications may not work after you install Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1

This problem occurs because the primary interoperability assembly (Microsoft.interop.security.azroles.dll) is no longer registered in the global assembly cache after you install Windows Server 2003 SP1.
