ARD 3.1 - "An unexpected error occurred..."
I'm attempting to "Change Client Settings" on our managed OS X clients, but keep getting the uninformative error "An unexpected error occurred while creating a custom installer". This error occurs every time and on every system. The only change I'm attempting to make is to "Enable directory-based administration". I never had this problem on version 3.0, but haven't been able to verify whether or not this is a version specific error. We don't have any images with the 3.0 client, so I haven't been able to test this yet.
I've checked the console and see nothing relevant. This is definitely a global problem, and not specific to a single machine. It's hard to pinpoint the issue given the error message and lack of logging. I've made a few changes (firewall, permissions, etc), but nothing has had any positive effect. Hopefully I'm just missing something obvious. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Check the console log, not the system log, for log messages from the admin application.
I recall previous posts where the errors like this have been due to write access issues (i.e. wrong privileges to write out the installer).

"An unexpected error occurred while creating a custom installer."
All;
I—and I've seen several others in older posts—have been reported received the error "An unexpected error occurred while creating a custom installer" while attampting to build a customer ARD client installer. My guess is that this is do to a issue related to 10.8.X (10.8.4, in my case) based console Mac but I cannot confirm this. I have verified that there are no outstanding OS, client or application updates or hot fixes, as well.
Has anyone built an successful installer from Mountain Lion-installed Mac? Is there any know workarounds?
Thanks in advance, for any help.Have the exact same problem.
iMac running 10.8.4
Got through the steps of creating a custom client installer.
if I choose not to customize and just save an installer I don't get the error but it creates a file of Zero bytes in size.
If I chose to configure, when I try to save I get:
An unexpected error occurred while creating a custom installer. Please try again....
Console log reports:

I have tried to save this in several location, with no effect on the error or the information logged, with the exception of the name of the temp directory that DOES contains the file (zero bytes):

APPLE...I JUST purchase this Applciation for $80.....it just flat out does not work.... -
Since a few days when I try to copy or move files on my macbook, I often get an error message saying "This operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -8062)". And then it just quits the copy or move.
I searched a lot on the internet, but only found solutions for cases you cannot empty the trash due to this issue.
I tried those solutions for my trash and that helped after some trying.
However, I still have the problem with copying and moving files.
I even cannot install new software now, as it has to copy itself to the programs-directory, and gives the same error-message.
Who can help me??
Cannot seem to find any info on it on the support-forums or elsewhere.
My user-account is administrator, I use a 13" Macbook Aluminium (Late 2008). Mac OS X 10.6.8 CPU 2Ghz Intel Core Duo, RAM: 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
OttoTips I received so far (thanks to A-Mac via Twitter http://www.a-mac.nl and Remco Kalf http://www.remcokalf.nl/)
- make sure you have at least 10% of your harddisk in free space (I had only 5%).
- do a PRAM-reset (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379)
- perform a hardware test (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509)
- make a complete backup (with for example Carbone Clone Copier, see http://www.bombich.com/)
- after complete backup: use diskwarrior (boot from Diskwarrior DVD, first perform diagnostics, then perform "Rebuild" which rebuilds your file directory).
So far I only cleared up some space on my HD, and already the problem occurs less.
Still, I will go through the other tips too.
(will post progress) -
The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)
I have a Seagate Central 3tb NAS (latest firmware) attached to my wireless router (Netgear wndr3400v3). I have a late 2011 macbook pro with Yosemite on it. When I go through finder to use my NAS I keep getting "The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)" . I only get it when I am trying to copy a big folder with other folders and files with in. I can copy a single file or create folders. If i try to copy a folder with 100 pics in it then I get the error. I can create the folder on the NAS and select all 100 files. When I drag them to the NAS, then they copy with no problems. Every so often my time machine has an error and says that it has to create a new backup. I read some where to make sure that "put hard disk to sleep when possible" should be selected in the energy saver in preferences. Still no luck. A can also drag any file from the NAS back to my laptop or view them from the NAS with no problems.
Thanks for any help in advance.
BillyHi there,
Well I have exactly the same problem! Recently I reset my WD My book White light (2 x 1TB RAID disk), due to the fact that the disk ran full because of TimeMachine.
I reset the disk, and now I can only write some files to it, but most give this error code.
I wrote to WD, but they could not give an answer.
Q: did you update the firmware? Maybe that is causing the problem, in that it is maybe not consistant in the filesystem? -
I have an external hard disk of 319.73 GB that I use as back up memory and where I put all the movies and other files that I can't leave on the computer as they occupy too much memory space . One day I was deleting all the previous dated back up to have more space on it , but had to stop the trash for doing it cause it was taking too long and now every time that I try to empty the trash it just says "The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003)" and even if I press CONTINUE it won't empting it . I'm not really pratical with this things and I tried already to find out the solution here and on Google but apparently nobody ever had a similar error code and I don't know what else to do.
I've a MacBook Pro with a Mac OS X 10.6.8 Version.
Thanks again for the help and sorry if I did some english mistakes !
PEACE & LOVEHey donnie90,
It seems like this article might be the best for helping you address this issue:

I am getting, "an unexpected error occurred" during set up of a 3rd airport express. Any ideas why or how to correct?
Are you using the IMac in your profile, or are you using the iPhone or iPad to set up the Express?
If you are using the iMac, what operating system is installed on the Mac? -
We are using DPM Version: 4.1.3465.0 with System Center 2012 Service Pack 1 to back up VMs in our Hyper V Cluster. We have a total of 37 VMs with a combination of 2008r2 servers and 2012 servers. One of our 2012 servers will not backup, and we consistently
get the message "An unexpected error occurred while the job was running. (ID 104 Details: The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057))". I have seen this error message when I Googled it, but cannot get past it. I have deleted the Protection Group and
data and tried to re-create, but get the same errors. I also thought the the server might be mis-reporting the data size, but I expanded that to cover the replication data. I have also tried to perform consistancy checks multiple times with no luck. I have
not seen a difinitive answer from my Google searches, so was hopeful someone has seen this also, and have had success in resolving. Currently this server has no backup recovery points, so I am worried if it does crash. I think I have the rollups installed
as well.Hi Kelly,
does the issue still persists? -
I have set up the RWA and I can log in to the web console with my server account. However when I click on any of the shared folders I get this error:
An unexpected error occurred. Please try again. If the problem continues, contact the person who manages your server.
Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this?
Regards,
MaciekI had this very same issue with one of our customer's servers that was running Windows Server Essentials. I ended up calling Microsoft about the issue. I hope this helps someone. This originally appeared on my blog: http://techspeeder.com/2014/01/14/remote-web-access-error-an-unexpected-error-occurred/
Troubleshooting Steps:
1. We were getting unexpected errors while accessing shared folders remotely
2. The tech found IIS handlers were missing
3. She went to IIS > server level ( parent level) and added managed handler mapping :
Name: svc-Integrated-4.0
Request path: *.svc
Executable: System.ServiceModel.Activation.ServiceHttpHandlerFactory, System.ServiceModel.Activation, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35
4. Added script mapping:
Name: svc-ISAPI-4.0_64bit
Request path: *.svc
Executable: windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll
Name: svc-ISAPI-4.0_32bit
Request path: *.svc
Executable: windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework32\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll
5. Ran IISreset.
6. We were able to access resources in Remote access, then. -
I took my computer in to have the Backup restored onto my computer after having a new harddrive put onto my 1year 1/2 old MacBook Pro. When i got it home there was a new User that i had to logout of to getting into my normal user. Don't know why this was, just figured the Mac guys that installed my backup did this for some odd reason. Today i could not open any of my files in the backup on the time machine. All the folder had line going thought them and when i clicked on them I revieved this message: can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents. After talking with that same mac store. I decided to just delete all the files out of the time machine as it was just put back on my computer and i have everything i need. Hours later when i tried to empty the trash i got this messsage: the operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003).
Any advise how to fix my problem?
thanks in advanceWhile you see a single trash can, in reality there are trash folders on each mounted volume. I don't use TM but what you are describing implies that a TM drive is no different with the way trash is treated. So when the TM is unmounted the trash folder on there is gone and thus the trash looks empty. Remount the drive, the trash folder on it now causes the trashcan to look like something is in it.
If TrashIt! could not remove the file, I'm sorry, you will need to use the terminal. We can do this one step at a time so you only have to copy/paste the lines into terminal (except the first time). So launch Terminal (in utilities). You might want to make the window that is shown a bit larger with the grow box since it's pretty small.
This first line is the only exception to the copy/pasting since you have to enter some information.
sudo ls -laR /Volumes/your-TM-volume-name/.Trashes
where your-TM-volume-name is the name of your TM volume. That's the part you have to fill in since I don't know it.
When you hit return the sudo in that command will cause a prompt for your admin password. Enter it and hit return again. Note the password will not be shown as you type it. Post the results so I can tell you what to do next.
Note this ls command is not doing anything but listing the files in the TM's .Trashes folder. Remember I said each drive has it's own trash folder. .Trashes is it. -
" +The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive..Exception.Message " OR sometimes

Getting exception above when performing various operation (site coll creating, group creation, adding users to group) for sharepoint online (Office 365) site using powershell script.
I want to create 3500 site collections using PS script. In-between getting above exception so it will skip one site collection creating and working again. for eg. after creating 11 site coll, script will through above exception and so 12th site coll will

if problem with remote server then may be loop to create site provisioning should not start again..Right?
any idea? -
Error occurred in tag CFX_IMAGE Unexpected error occurred - help!
Hello,
We have a few clients on an IIS server running coldfusion sites. Part of their content management systems include thumbnail creation of images. Unfortunately, without any obvious reason, all of the image resizing code started failing. We're using the CFX_IMAGE tag.
An example of our code looks like:
<CFX_IMAGE
ACTION = "RESIZE"
FILE = "#uploaded_filename#"
OUTPUT = "#thumbnail_filename#"
Y = "100"
THUMBNAIL = "NO"
JPEG_QUALITY = "80"
JPEG_OPTIMIZE = "ON"
>
A few of our applications rely on the CFX_IMAGE tag, and each one uses a different directory for the thumbnails and slightly different code. To have all of them fail at once is definitely odd. I also ran a search on the windows server for files that have been modified during the day that things started failing and I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary.
Here's the exact error that is being shown:
Error occurred in tag CFX_IMAGE
Unexpected error occurred while processing tag.
The cause of this error is yet unknown.
The error occurred in C:\clients\(client-name)\admin\photo_upload_handler.cfm: line 25
23 : FILE = "#uploaded_filename#"
24 : OUTPUT = "#thumbnail_filename#"
25 : Y = "100"
26 : THUMBNAIL = "NO"
27 : JPEG_QUALITY = "80"
Sorry, I don't have the exact CFX_IMAGE source in front of me.
I've checked file permissions on the folders where the thumbnails should be generated. The permissions look good, especially since coldfusion is able to upload the original files there (the ones that need the thumbnails generated).
Any insights would be most apprecated,
- BretThis is exactly what I started seeing a week ago on a CF7 server. We migrated
to CF8 last night, but application continues to fail.

OLAP Error:The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occure
We have recently installed BPC 51 (SP2). This been working fine for months until yesterday. Now we are getting errors on OLAP Database. Following is the problem description. Any help would be appreciated.
Received error "The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send." while processing dimension. This message appears during 'Create Dimension' sub step( step 2/5). After this BPC server crashes.
The same error appears while deleting appset during 'Delete OLAP Database' sub step (step 2/4). We are also not able to restore an appset since the process hangs during OLAP Database stage.

Finally, we processed all the dimensions, applications, appsets within SQL server studio and the problem is resolved. I am not sure if this would surface again.
Thanks
