title: could not load file or assembly 'microsoft.sqlserver.diagnostics.strace, version
body: <p>I have a domain controller on which I have SQL Server installed. All databases are setup to automatically backup everyday. Recently the error found in the footer started popping up whenever I login to an instance of the SQL Server Management Studio, and hence it disabled the automated backups. I searched the internet for a solution and the majority of the solutions were to "<strong>format</strong>" the pc! which I can't due to many complications. </p>
  
  <p>I read somewhere on microsoft support blog that the solution was to "<a href="http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/1600dea6-a434-4cfb-87ce-472018cf64fd/could-not-load-file-or-assembly-microsoftsqlserverdiagnosticsstrace-version10000" rel="nofollow">Uninstall SP1</a>"  </p>
  
  <p>What SP1? can anyone help?</p>
  
  <p>The error </p>
