I don't have encrypted sprocs in that environment, but I do have mirroring set up to a reporting server, and that seems to be related somehow to what happened in my case.I may need to ask Microsoft for help in figuring this one out.</description><pubDate>Sat, 18 Sep 2010 09:00:12 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Marios Philippopoulos</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: General Cryptographic error</title><link>http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic565836-146-1.aspx</link><description>Wow, this is incredibly old.
