Windows "Easy Connect" does not reply with the password / "Easy Connect is not Available"

Hello,
I have posted a related question some time ago, which was eventually resolved. However, after some time a problem with Easy Connect (used for MSRA) came back:
Whenever I arrive at the point in setting up a MSRA session where Easy Connect is needed, I get the reply: "Easy Connect is not Available". Here is an example of the problem:
Start MSRA
--> as expected, a window with "invite someone to help you" and " Help some who has invited you" appears
Select "invite someone to help you"
--> as expected, a window with "Who do you want to get help from" appears 
Select "Invite someone to help you"
--> as expected, a windows with "How do you want to invite your trusted helper?" appears
Select "Use Easy Connect"
--> as expected, the temporary "Create invitation window / checking network capabilities" window appears
Next, I would expect this windows to close a new window to provide me with the Easy Connect password. However, instead I get the window "Easy Connect is not available".
I cannot continue. (I have screenshots so can repost with them if that would clarity my question)
Any suggestion how to resolve would be appreciated.
(Please do not reply with the 3 suggestions from the FAQ (both computers must run windows 7 / Access to internet is limited / your router does not support Easy Connect - doesn't help)
More background information and things I have tried:
The "Easy Connect is not available" window offers the "Tell me more about how to fix this problem" which I have tried, but those suggestions do not help
If I use the other MSRA option: "Help someone who has invited you" (this would be my typical use case), followed by "help someone new" and than select "Use Easy Connect", I also get the "Easy Connect is not available"
window instead of the expected option to enter the Easy Connect password. I believe this is that same problem.
This happed with both the 32 as well as the 64 MSRA versions
I'm using Window 7 Ultimate, 64 bit with all the latest updates
This desktop PC is wired to the internet via an Edimax gigabit switch, a Dlink DIR-855 wireless router and a fiber modem in bridge mode
The W7 desktop has a single active network connection only
I'm using Windows Firewall and Windows Security Essentials
Disabling the firewall on the PC did not help
Network discovery is enabled in Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings (that’s UPnP – right?)
The Internet Connectivity Evaluation Tool does not seem to be available anymore from MSFT sites
Restarting "Peer Name Resolution Protocol" did not help
Restarting "Peer Networking Identity Manager Properties" did not help
Starting up with a "Clean Boot" (disabled all non-Microsoft services using MSConfig) did not help
I would also be interested to understand how I can check on the status of the "Easy Connect" service. Is this a service hosted somewhere, or??
Thanks!

Dear Andy,
Thanks a lot for your reply. Let me answer your questions:
Q: Could you use the other methods: save this invitation as a file and use e-mail to send invitation?
A: yes, that way I can establish a MSRA connection
Q: Have you disable other network connections, including disable all virtual network card?
A: if I check with ‘Device Manager/Network Adapters’ (or Control Panel/Network and Internet/Network Connections) I see two network adapters (my Asus motherboard has two network connectors). Both are available, but only one is used. I have
disabled one. Unfortunately, this does not solve the problem. I will leave it disable for now.
Q: To find detailed information about this issue, please locate to event view and find the logs about remote assistance.
A: I have to admit that the Event Viewer is unfamiliar territory for me. So, I’m not sure where and what to look for. However, as suggested, I found "Event Viewer (local)/Applications and Services Logs/Microsoft/Windows/Remote assistance/Operational".
Each time, I attempt to use MSRA/Easy Connect, it seems two entries are added. As I cannot seem to upload files with this post, here are just the two entries:
“Diagnosis Repro Attempt resulted in a failure.”
“Remote Assistance troubleshooting has confirmed the problem: Remote Assistance Easy Connect isn't available.”
If you need more details, please suggest what to forward or check. I'm eager to find a solution!
W.

    Julien-
    I have the Apple MC184LL/A Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard.  The brigtness control works with mine, as do most of the other functions.
    Try cycling the keyboard off and on.  Hold the power button until the green LED goes out.  Then press it one more time to turn it back on.
    You might try resetting the iPad's network.  Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings.  Then you may need to reconnect your WiFi and Bluetooth.
    If that doesn't help, try resetting/rebooting the iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart in a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

  • I Photosmart eStation C510a, the zeen will not sync with the printer,or connect to internet.

    Hi,
    I require some asisstance with my Photosmart eStation C510a. The zeen will not sync with the printer, and I cannot seem to connect it with the internet. When I first installed this printer, it was fine, both the zeen and printer were connected and in sync.
    An update was automatically installed by H.P. which appeared to create a problem with the zeen , being unable to sync with the printer, the zeen also lost the internet connection. The printer is working fine, and responds to the zeens commands for printing,
    scanning and copying, but I would love to have the internet connection from the zeen, whereby I can use it for emailing etc.
    Is there anyone out there that can help?
    Thanks,
    Christorobb.

  • I have connected my MacBook pro with the mini hdmi connecter. The background screen is the only thing that shows up on the tv.

    HiI need help connecting the MacBook pro to the HDTV. I have the attachment and have it connected but I want to play videos or video from the Internet and all I can see is the background screen of the Mac. Hope the solution is simple :)

    If you can see the background on your second monitor, the solution is, ...
    .. your Mac and the external display are working correctly!
    You have created an Extended Desktop. The up-down-left-right arrangement is done in the Arrange pane in
    System Preferences > Displays > Arrange
    The second screen is added to one edge of the first screen. The mouse moves freely off the edge of one screen and onto the other screen.  You can drag and drop files or windows from one screen to the other.

  • Windows 8.1 Mail app does not sync with the Office 365 account

    My company has recently switched to Office 365. Windows 8.1 Metro Mail app does not work with Office365 account. When I switch to IMAP it works but that is soon going to be disabled and is not compliant with the company policy.
    I can add the account and it also pushes the security policies but it does not sync email at all. Says account is not available. The tablet shows up on the mobile devices on the office 365 and I could also remote wipe it.
    It seems everything works except basing email sync. What could be the issue?

  • I just purchased an Apple TV.  I have a pc running windows 7.  It is connected to a router and the router is connected to a wireless router.  I connect my iPhone, iPad and apple tv to wireless network but do not know how to put the pc on the wifi network

    I just purchased an Apple TV.  I have a pc running windows 7.  It is connected to a router and the router is connected to a wireless router.  I connect my iPhone, iPad and apple tv to wireless network but do not know how to put the pc on the wifi network so the Apple TV can do home share.

    I don't mean to be facetious but sometimes the simplest things are overlooked.  To connect to your library you have to have the computer where the iTunes library is located running and with iTunes open.  It also needs to be on the same network.  My network is dual band and works with either stream but a friend of mine does not.  He has to set the computer and the Apple TV to the same band.  Hope this helps.

  • Setup.exe gives a "LANG_LIST has some locales which does not match with the locale of serial number"

    I ran the Adobe Customization Wizard XI to create a transform file and now when run setup.exe it always come with the error "LANG_LIST has some locales which does not match with the locale of serial number".
    It does the same thing when using msi with the command : msiexec /i  AcroPro.msi TRANSFORMS=AcroPro.mst /qb!

    I don't know what goes wrong as took my serial number on my profile from the adobe web site, same thing for the download of the software.
    Does it means that the serial number provided was invalid for deploying ?
    NB.: My goal is to deploy our Acrobat XI through SCCM in silent mode and I don't know if there is extra consideration for that.  For now it's only not working at the command line.
    Another important point is that the install works great without customization !  If I just run the setup.exe from freshly extracted files and I use my serial number, everything is working fine.
    So what goes wrong ?

    Thanks for the reply brogers_1 and Vinod Dbhal, you gave good hint.
    I retried installing the initial package in French on a Windows 7 English and the software installed properly in French. 
    As I used to work with virtuals for those tests, I rolled back my virtual and redo my test installation with chosing to install it in English on my Windows 7 English and again the installation finished properly but I was surprised when I realized that even if I chose English as language, the software was running in French !
    Of course I can change the language settings (in the edit-preferences-language) to follow the operating system witch is nice.
    That gave me the cue I needed to know.  I started from scratch my customization with choosing only the French language in the "Application Languages" and I left the MUI Languages blank and saved the .mst
    I ran again the same command : msiexec /i  AcroPro.msi TRANSFORMS=AcroPro.mst /qb!
    And everything works fine.
    NB.: As I used the .msi directly, of course I had to install the prerequirement Visual C++ 2010 first.  Otherwise the installation failed without any error message.
    Thanks again to you for your good hint,
    Bob

  • I bought a new imac running Loin and Office 2011. The server we use to access emails runs exchange 2003 and my IT person says the imac is not compatible with the server. The server does not want to let me access using any email software.

    I bought a new imac running Loin with Office 2011. I am the only mac in the office and the Server we use to access emails runs exchange 2003 and my IT person says the imac is not compatible with the server. The server does not want to let me access using any email software other than webmail access through our website. It looks as though 2011 is not compatible with 2003 per some searches online, but what are some options I have to gain full access again? I purchased parallels in hopes that this my help and I am able to use remote desktop connection to log on to server but can not drag and drop files I need. There is a shared drive on that Server we all use to exchange files.
    The two main issues are gaining access to my email again and ability to drag and drop files from mac to pc. I hope this is enough info to get some solutions.
    PS - IT person says my iMac's IP is what his server does not understand so that is why I can not login.

    Office 2011 is not compatbile with Exchange 2003.
    I suggest you post further Office related questions on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software:

  • Cannot Start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook Window. The set fo folders cannot be opened. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profil

    Cannot Start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook Window. The set fo folders cannot be opened. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profile before you can synchronize your folders with your Outlook data file (.ost)
    OK. This is a new outlook setup on a laptop. The mail account is on a MS Exchange Server 2010. The user can log on to their laptop no problem with their AD login and password. To setup the outlook profile we have checked the name OK. When we click finish
    and try to start outlook we get the above error message. It is driving me pots as I have tried also of things. I have tried to connect without catching the files. The error message then says that the Exchange Server is down, yet we checked the name OK and
    I can log on to the MS Exchange server and see the setup.
    What else is it that I need to look at as I have tried everything. I will add that they one service I see not running is the Exchange RPC service. If I try to start it, it fails saying Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services
    or programs.
    What can I do?

    The major cause of this problem is a corrupted Navigation Pane settings file – profilename.xml, where “profilename” is the name of your Outlook profile. A good sign that the
    file is corrupted is when the size of the file is shown 0 KB. No one knows the precise reason why this takes place, but all versions of Outlook from 2003 to 2013 may get affected.
    Other causes may be when you run Outlook in the compatibility mode, or if you are using a profile generated in an older Outlook version, or if the Outlook data file (.pst or .ost)
    was removed or damaged as the result of faulty uninstallation or reinstallation of MS Outlook.
    Follow the steps given below to resolve this problem
    1. Recover Navigation Pane configuration file
    2. Repair your Outlook PST file using Inbox Repair tool
    3. Create a new Outlook profil and import data from the old PST file
    4. Turn off Compatibility Mode
    5. Start Outlook in Safe Mode
