Hotfix: K2 Designer for SharePoint link in SharePoint Central Administration does not reconfigure Application Pool Account as expected

Introduction

Using the K2 Designer for SharePoint link in SharePoint Central Administration to reconfigure K2 Designer for SharePoint does not update the Application Pool and account for the MOSS site automatically. This results in an error when a user attempts to deploy a process from K2 Designer for SharePoint thereafter.

Important: This issue is known to affect Windows Server 2003 environments, Windows Server 2008 environments respond to the change as expected.

Error Scenario

K2 blackpearl 4.5 (4.10060.1.0) is installed and configured with the MOSS site using the same application pool as the K2 Designer for SharePoint. Users are able to create and deploy processes at this time. When a user attempts to use the K2 Designer for SharePoint link in SharePoint Central Administration to reconfigure K2 Designer for SharePoint, changing the Application Pool account and then later attempts to deploy a process, an error is thrown.
