Hi i'm trying to delete my bulk mail messages but it keep telling me this message"The IMAP command "DELETE" failed with server error: DELETE failed - Mailbox is reserved "

Hi i'm trying to delete my bulk mail messages but it keep telling me this message"The IMAP command “DELETE” failed with server error: DELETE failed - Mailbox is reserved " is there any way to delete of stop messages from coming into it ??
thanks

Sounds like the mail server thinks you are asking to delete the bulk-mail mailbox instead of some/all of the messages within it.
How are you trying to delete your bulk mail messages? That is, what are you doing, step by step, up to the error message.
What you should probably be doing is selecting the bulk mail mailbox, selecting one of more messages inside it, then hitting the "delete" key.

Are you editing this job in SQL 2012? Is it wrapping your paths in \"? Like for example does the command line tab on the step look like this:
/FILE "\"D:\yourPathGoesHere.dtsx\"" /CONFIGFILE "\"D:\yourPathGoesHere.dtsConfig\"" /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E
That's the problem I had, and I resolved it by recreating the whole thing via SQL Script and getting rid of all those \" things. I think that is preventing SSIS from looking up the precompiled binaries for your Script Task. So you should edit the command
line manually:
/FILE "D:\yourPathGoesHere.dtsx" /CONFIGFILE "D:\yourPathGoesHere.dtsConfig" /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E
Please write back whether that helps you. David Dye's answer didn't help me at all.

CRM 2015 Update 0.1 Install Fails with SQL Error

Hi, anyone managed to install CRM 2015 Update 0.1?
The software installed fine but the DB updates fail with a SQL error. Just want to know if this is just my issue or if MS have a bug in the update. This is the SQL error:
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The current transaction cannot be committed and cannot support operations that write to the log file. Roll
back the transaction.
Uncommittable transaction is detected at the end of the batch. The transaction is rolled back.
All of the ORGs fail with this error, even when I try to apply the DB update via Deployment manager. I've had to back out the rollup.

The issue appears when the update process creates the index cndx_BusinessDataLocalizedLabel. This is a known cause which is under investigation internally. Currently it seems to plan to release in CRM 2015 SP1

Installation fails with "internal error 2502"

I have a client running Windows Vista Home Premium Edition (32 bit) and my app's CVI-built installer fails with "Internal Error 2502".
This installation kit has been successfully deployed on hundreds of computers with various versions of Windows and I have never seen this one. No device drivers or advanced libraries - just the standard runtime. I use CVI 9.0.1.
Searches reveal very little - some old issues with Office installation, date/time settings etc. but I have yet to find anything that indicates what this error represents.
Any insights or ideas very welcome.
Thanks,
Ian
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That appears to be a Windows Installer (MSI) error, and can have many different causes. Can you confirm that anyWindows installers (perhaps try newest Adobe Reader) work on that system? Is the system's date/time set correctly? Could there be a permissions restriction with C:\Windows\system32 or C:\Programs\National Instruments\Shared?
I'd also try doing an internet search for "installer error 2502" and see what other tips you might find. If all else fails, try running the installer from the command line like this:
setup.exe /log install_log.txt
That will generate a log file that might contain a hint for us.

Rendering of Proxies in AE fails with generic error messages.

*sigh* working with AVC in CS4 on my quad core has been an exercise in pain.
I've followed the optimization guides linked to in the different forum posts and that lets me zip along until I actually start adding effects. Then I am right back to a crawl. I recently discovered proxies in AE and learned that I can use "replace" in premeire to leverage those same proxies... Sweet... When I works I am back to editing in both in real time!
The problem is AE is regularly failing to generate proxies for me and I cannot figure out why. All my video is shot the same 24mbps, 60fps, 1080p (true 60i). All shot from my Canon HF S10.
The error is always "Error reading frame from file" and it always occurs just before the render is about to complete. Sometimes I get lucky and a working .mov was generated in spite of the error. Bu most times the file isn't there.
So my 2.4ghz quad core with 8gb ram can't edit the originals and I can't create proxies... I'm effectively dead in the water.
I tried using Media Encoder to generate my proxies with no success either. It fails with "Unspecified Error".
Both times I am trying to encode to Quicktime, Jpeg, Draft Settings. For the heck of it I tried different codecs, etc. Nothing seems to help. Even worse is sometimes if I just queue the same file multiple times it eventually works.
Is there anything at all I can do to make successful proxy generation less like winning the lottery?

Yeah I updated to that right away. Premiere itself seems to behave most of the time. To be honest I've hardly had any problems with Premiere even before the 4.2 update.
But AVC (mts files) seem to be very problematic in AE in general. I also experience the issue mentioned here:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2404464
Sounds like re-encoding to another format is the only way I'll be able to work in AE reliably. So I have to figure out a way to get Media Encoder to finish it's jobs.

Cube refresh fails with an error below

Hi,
We are experiencing this problem below during planning application database refresh. We have been refreshing the database everyday, but all of a sudden the below error is appearing in log. The error is something like below:
Cube refresh failed with error: java.rmi.UnmarshalException: error unmarshalling return; nested exception is:
java.io.EOFException
When the database refresh is done from workspace manually, the database refresh is happening successfully. But when triggered from unix script, its throwing the above error.
Is it related to some provisioning related issue for which user has been removed from MSAD?? Please help me out on this.
Thanks,
mani

We have not made any changes to either the shell or 'CubeRefresh.sh' or 'setHPenv.sh'
From the past couple of days the shell that executes 'CubeRefresh.sh' has been failing with the error message below.
Cube refresh failed with error: java.rmi.UnmarshalException: error unmarshalling return; nested exception is:

This error is causing our Essbase cubes to not get refreshed from Planning cubes through these batch jobs.
On the other hand the manual refesh from within Planning works.
We are on Hyperion® Planning – System 9 - Version : 9.3.1.1.10
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

At DI R3trans fails with this error code ORA-12545, but CI runs

Hello Gurus,
We have our BW System on two instances with a separated oracle database server.
Last week the system was unreachable and we must restarted it hard.
After that, the Listener could started and runs. The DB could started, mounted and opened successfully.
Now we have a special problem.
The central instance can connect at startup to the database. But the dialog instance not.
The DI get the following error:
|> R3trans -x

A telnet connection test to port 1527 are also unsuccessful.
But sporadicly the telnet or R3trans connection are successful, but the second check are unsuccessful.
We have checked the telnet connection to another oracle database server (ERP) at port 1527 and it works.
The CI have some entry's in ST22 with DBIF_RSQL_SQL_ERROR --> ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE.
Are someone known something about this issue?
regards
Chris

@ Sunny Pahuja:
We checked sapmnt.
Sapmnt is common on CI and DI. It was never mounted on DB. But DB runs perfectly until this issue.
@ Ankit Gupta
We checked the configuration of listener.
It is the same like the listener configuration of our ERP system with CI, DI and DB on separate Servers, too.

What's the error mesage?

The installation of SAP Front-End components failed with 95 errors.

I tried to install SAP GUI 7.20 on Windows Vista X64. And I got this error message:
The installation of SAP Front-End components failed with 95 errors.
This 7.20 version used to run on this operating system fine. I reinstalled the OS, and now I got this.

Hi,
I suppose you reinstalled the same OS.
Did you install the JSDK (java) afterwards. As you must be aware Java is a pre-requisite for the SAP Frontend.
Also make sure you have set the environment variables after installing java.
Further documentation, the SAP installation manual can be found in the u201CDOCUu201D folder of the installation software.

Rohan.

External Drive Disk Erase Failed with the Error Input/Output Error

I have 2 hard drives in an external FW800 enclosure that I am unable to format. When I go to initialize the drives in Disk Utility, I get the following error message: "Disk Erase failed with the error: Input/output error."
The drives show up in Disk Utility, but I can't repair them (that option is grayed out). Disk Utility correctly ID's the manufacturer of the drives (Maxtor), their size (200gb each), so it's obviously seeing that the drives are there. But it won't let me format them.
The drives are new, by the way; they don't have any data/files on them. I have Disk Warrior, but the drives don't show up there to be repaired -- probably because they aren't formatted yet.
After looking at other posts, I tried switching the jumper settings around on the drives -- from Master/Slave to cable select and back again, but it didn't help. I also tried doing a zero erase (even though the drives are new), zapping the PRAM -- again, no help.
One question I had is whether this could be a bad FW800 cable? The cable is new -- it came with the enclosure, which is an OWC Dual FW 800 enclosure. Other than that, does anyone have any other thoughts about what's causing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Matthew

SOLUTION!!!!
I had the exact same problem. I have the original 20 GB hard drive that came in my Powerbook G4 550MHz and a couple of years ago I traded up for a 60 GB drive and bought a FW/USB enclosure for my original drive to use it to backup my important files. I hadn't backed up in over a year (shame on me!) and I decided maybe I should erase the drive and start from scratch. It was connected via USB.
At that point DiskUtility gave me the exact same Input/Output error. I tried partitioning the drive into 1 or more partitions but came up with the same error. I couldn't figure out what was wrong so I decided to startup in OS 9.2.2, I did that and let it start up, then plugged in the hard drive and it gave me the standard "This disk is unrecognizable, do you want to eject or erase?" so I clicked Initalize. It worked!
Just make sure you choose the MacOS Extended option when initializing out of OS 9 (instead of the MacOS Standard option) so it can be read and viewed in OS X.
If your computer is too new to be able to boot from an OS 9 folder on your drive or an OS 9 CD, then see if a friend or a local library has older computers that are running OS 9 or can boot from it. If not let me know and you can send me your drive and I'll reformat it.
Kind of crazy...I haven't used the OS 9 partition on my HD in YEARS...was even thinking about erasing it since I don't use any Classic applications anymore...good thing I didn't!

Is my HD Dead? Reformat Disk Utility Error: secure disk erase failed with the error could not open disk.

Hi,
Fed up with seeing the spinning beach ball I decided to reformat my MacBook Pro...
After backing up everything on an external hard drive I put in the OSX install DVD, restarted the machine and held down 'C'.
I followed the install prcedure, clicking next a few times etc...
I then went into Utilities > Disk Utility. I chose 7-Pass to erase the Macintosh HD and set it off erasing.
I checked the process an hour in and message on screen read:
Secure disk erase failed with the error:
could not open disk
The internal hard drive no longer exists in the disk utility so I cant retry erasing it.
The only thing that appears in disk utility is the OSX install DVD.
I can't even shut down the mac as everything under the apple tab is greyed out!
I'm guessing this means my hard drive is broken right?
If anyone has any other ideas of what to try I'd really appreciate that.
How do I turn the machine off?
If my hard drive is gone then should I consider getting an SSD drive?
Any recommendations for such a drive would be great.
Hope you can help!

Did you partition the drive?
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.
