After you move the Configuration Manager SQL Server site database to a different drive, and then you try to create a software update group, software update package, or application, the operation fails, and these log entries are logged in the SMSProv.log file:

*** *** Unknown SQL Error! SMS Provider 14-03-2012 07:56:47 2016 (0x07E0)

SQL Server Profiler provides the following additional details:

An error occurred in the Microsoft .NET Framework while trying to load assembly id 65539. The server may be running out of resources, or the assembly may not be trusted with PERMISSION_SET = EXTERNAL_ACCESS or UNSAFE. Run the query again, or check documentation to see how to solve the assembly trust issues. For more information about this error:
System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'cryptoutility, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. An error relating to security occurred. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8013150A)
System.IO.FileLoadException:

This problem may occur if the SQL Server site database MDF and LDF files are moved to a different drive. For example, this problem may occur if the Configuration Manager site database is created on C:\Program files\MSSQL server\data, and then the MDF and LDF files are moved to D:\CM2012DB to save space.

This problem occurs because the TRUSTWORTHY database property of the site database that is set to ON by default is reset to OFF when you detach and reattach the database. When the database is not configured to have the property set to ON, <ConfigMgr_Install>\bin\x64\CryptoUtility.dll fails to load into SQL Server, and you receive the invalid cursor state error message that is mentioned in the Symptoms section.

To resolve this problem, follow these steps:

1. Manually reset the property to ON by running this command against your Configuration Manager database:

    ALTER DATABASE <ConfigMgr DB>
    SET TRUSTWORTHY ON
   

2. Make sure that the database that was moved is owned by the SA account.

3. Make sure that the Isolation Level value is set to READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT. To check this value, run this command:

    DBCC USEROPTIONS
   

4. If the Isolation Level value is set to anything other than READ COMMITTED SNAPSHOT, run the following commands in the given order:

   ALTER DATABASE <ConfigMgr DB>
   SET ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION ON
   
   ALTER DATABASE <ConfigMgr DB>
   SET READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT ON
