Urgent - An unexpected error

[John Cello]

In a ProjectServer 2003 (with no service packs!), Project Pro 2003, Windows
XP Pro environment which has been running smoothly until today, all users are
receiving the following error message:

An unexpected error occurred during command execution.
Try the following:
Verify that all argument names and values are correct and are of the correct
type.
You may have run out of memory. To fee up memory, close programs, projects,
or windows that you aren't using.

Searched everywhere, but none of the results have been applicable to
ProjectServer.

Any ideas as to the cause and corrective action?

Thanks in advance.

Don't know what the cause of this was, but the fix is to force binary
rebuilds of the projects.

John:

Check the DB maintenance plan.

Thanks Gary.

Actually needed to check the hardware maintenance plan. Seems the server the
db is on had a failing drive. (Mirrored, not hot-swappable) Had the client IT
folks replace the drive. I'm guessing it failed during a save.

I knew had to be a SQL problem.
