Operation aborted (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004004 (E_ABORT))
I got this error when trying to create a site. I checked the SharePoint logs and found the error “Procedure or function proc_UpdateListSettings has too many arguments specified.” Turns out that one of the windows updates that was pushed for contained a patch for SharePoint as well. Another blog I read stated it was KB2493987. This has happened once before and the fix is to run the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizards . This resolved the issue and site creation is now working. Extra Note: As it turns out the upgrade ran fine on the app server, but did not run on the front end. I ended up having to run the following command to complete it: psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b
