The evaluation version of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 for this server has expired

We were getting this error when users were tryng to access their my sites and search!

i tried to resolve the error by doing what Joel Olson suggested here
http://blogs.msdn.com/joelo/archive/2008/01/02/evaluation-version-expired-but-not-really.aspx

However that did not work.

Finally our Sharepoint Admin Jessi marx found this article on Microsoft's site
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971620

I reapplied the Product Key and everything worked Again!

Operation aborted (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004004 (E_ABORT))

You get this Error when you load some SharePoint 2007 Sites
Operation aborted (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004004 (E_ABORT))

We were only getting this error on specific sites. We found that all these sites resided in the same content db.

After some investigation we found that some of the Stored Procedures in that db were missing.
We restored the latest version of the content db and everything worked fine!

Thank God for backups! LOL
Lost connection to site. Page will be reloaded, when the connection is restored...

This fixed s MOSS search on Portal level but did not work on top level sites.
After doing some research I was able to fix SharePoint search on site level by configuring Alternate Access Mappings and making this http://portalname:7777 instead the default
