SharePoint Services Service Pack 3 errors HELP

We unfortunately were not paying attention and the SharePoint Services Service Pack 3 was installed automatically Wednesday morning the 19th. We do not have an image of server to roll back to and the SP cannot be uninstalled.

Does anyone have a solution to these problems:

1 - When users access our Intranet via SSL externally and attempt to look at a page with a Custom Data View of a list or DL from a different site they get this error:

We're having an issue similiar to #1. We have 2 pages using the Data View webpart (display links other than the Quick Links menu) and the parts do not display on those pages. Instead they show the unable to display... error.

I'm an admin on that box and if I look at the page through frontpage I see the webparts populated fine. However in the browser they don't work for me or anyone else.

I immediately checked for the update you mentioned but don't see anything on the server after 9/15. But the webparts worked as late as the end of last week for certain. Was it bundled in another update that I should be looking for. We do have backup tapes so I have some hope of recovery; I just need to know when to shoot for.

Thanks and good luck with your issues.

We have the same issue with you. I'm happy because I found friends here. ;-)

Please report your symptoms to Microsoft so that they start making a fix. I have done for us.

sahirano, are you having the same exact problems as us Please be specific in the errors you have. We have been speaking with MS for 24hours now and we'd like to get all of them to them.

We have notice one more problem - I'll call it # 3.

3) When user click the ¡®Rich Text Editor¡­¡¯ button when trying to modify a 'Content Editor' web part they get an IE Script Error and then a message that says 'Cannot open the Rich Text Editor'. We are getting this for all users including WSS and SPS administrators.

Has this been corrected for anyone else I've not touched the server other than to verify that we had not installed service pack 3 yet regardless that we were getting the same error others reported here. Yet at around 10 this morning the data view webparts simply started working again.

Bizarre. But it still makes me look good on some level, so I'll take it.

As a developer I agree with you completely Leontinealign; we did this with SP1 and SP2. Our server group, who handles general the updates/hotfixes, is claiming no responsibility.

Only to confirm: we have the exact same errors here - all three...

Please post any findings here everybody.

It appears the Sharepoint product team is working on a hotfix. We have been told to wait for this hotfix. There was not info given about when they anticipate the hotfix to be complete.
