Failing to Delete/Remove Project Server Service Application, giving error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

I have installed Project Server 2013 on SharePoint 2013, and installed the first PWA which worked. But I needed to change some configurations and so I deleted the PWA instances, but now I cannot delete the Project Server Service Application. Every attempt
to delete the Service Application it gives the error above, namely:
Sorry, something went wrong
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Event ID 1502 and 6398 : Translation Service Application is failing to execute. Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

hi,
We have deployed Sharepoint 2013 in hosting mode. And i followed this
guide. And i have 1 web server, 1 app server and 1 DB server. My Application server is logging 2 critical event after every 15 min.
Event ID: 1502, Task Category: Timer Job, Source: SharePoint Translation Services
"Timer job '735da5fd-a74a-46b8-9a75-70e85d125eb2' for service application 'Translation Service Application' is failing to execute. More information is included below.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object. "
Followed by this one one more critical event,
Event ID: 6398, Task Category: Timer , Source: SharePoint Foundation
"The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.TranslationServices.QueueJob (ID 735da5fd-a74a-46b8-9a75-70e85d125eb2) threw an exception. More information is included below.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
I tried to search everywhere, but no solution. Because of this two critical events AppFabricCaching service is also crashing.
Any suggestion how i can fix this?

Hi SaM,
According to your error message, it says that the Timer job '735da5fd-a74a-46b8-9a75-70e85d125eb2' for service application 'Translation Service Application' fail to create due to some referred object cannot
be found. For this issue, it can be caused by missing assembly .
Could you please provide detail error message of ULS log to determine the exact cause of the error?
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS

SQL 2012 install fails with 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.'

Hi, I'm trying to install SQL 2012 RTM Enterprise on a Windows 2008 R2 single node cluster.
The installer starts goes through some checks and then fails with the message 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.' It happens while the small 'wait while...' dialog box is
showing, another window pops up briefly (I think the feature selection window - can't really tell as it doesn't draw before disappearing). Then the ‘Object reference not set’ message comes up.
From the summary log file..

I have added my certificate and verified it with Get-AzureSubscription.
Can anyone help?

When I run Get-AzureSubscription, the subscription already seems to be set. I assume this happened when I imported my publish settings. I tried your suggestion to do it manually, but this didn't fix my problem.
I've started implementing the deployment script linked in the blog post, but I'm running into all sorts of problems as I try to do so. First, this seems to assume I have a service package and publish settings. I'm guessing the package is going to need to
be generated for each deployment, but the script doesn't handle this. How can I also have the script generate the new package so that the service can be deployed? I've currently hard-coded the path of cspack into the script, but this seems like a bad way to
do it.
Since the publish settings have the certificate, I imagine I don't want to commit those to version control. Can I also generate this as part of the script? I want the script to be as hands-off as possible.
Thank you for your help!

BizTalk 2010 Error consuming WCF service metadata. Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

"Error consuming WCF service metadata.

I have no clue what happen to my BizTalk. I checked all the below forum but m clueless why BTS not consuming WCF through Generated Items. I tried both metadata exhange endpoint and metadata file through
svcutil. but all my wcf services are working fine with .net C# client.

Thanks from me too Neal - this worked from me. I wan't able to consume directly from exchange because the certificate is broken. However, I was able to convince Google Chrome to let me view the /Services.wsdl and from there I could save the .wsdl and two
.xsd files. In my case the problem lay at the top of the .wsdl file. I changed the following:
<wsdl:types>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:import namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/messages" schemaLocation="messages.xsd"/>
</xs:schema>
by giving the same targetNamespace as assigned in the <wsdl:definitions element, so I ended up with
<wsdl:types>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/messages">
<xs:import namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/messages" schemaLocation="messages.xsd"/>

Mat4Shift - ConvertTo-NcVhdx failing with Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Hi, We're just trying to use Mat4Shift 1.7 to convert some VMware VMs into Hyper-V format and it's randomly failing at the conversion stage when running the ConvertTo-NcVhdx command. It seems to be hit and miss with VMDK files of around 40GB - it usually fails the first time around with the error above, so you clean the environment up and rerun and it will work. However, we've got a few VMs with large VMDK files - one in particular was originally a 1.2TB RDM which we connected to the VM in virtual mode and cloned. This one seems to fail pretty regularly and we cannot get it to convert. The progress bar for ConvertTo-NcVhdx (just checking but is that exactly the same command as ConvertTo-NaVhdx) somtimes doesn't get past 0%, othertimes it bombs out at 3% and the furthest it got was 20% after which it bombed out after ten minutes with the same error as above. Any ideas please or is there a limit of what the maximum size VMDK this can handle is? I've stripped off the Out-Null statement at the end but there's no other output - I've also tried manually adding the -SkipUnmap command in case it wasn't being handled properly via the Splat variable but no difference there. I've attached a redacted screenshot which also shows that the first disk (41GB) converts without issue but then the next throws a SIS clone error - is there any way to get more verbose output from this at all please? Thanks in advance!

Have you tried converting the RDM LUN directly into a VHDX without the middle step? See example 4. PS C:\Users\administrator.SMIS-RTP1> get-help -examples ConvertTo-NcVhdxNAME

WRT160N - LELA FAILED - ERROR - MSG_100_000_003 & Object ref not set to an instance of an object

First of all I would like to say I'm very disappointed with Cisco/Linksys support. I made 6 phone calls and spent about 3 hours on hold and being connected to someone else over the course of about two weeks. The Tech supportin this particular case was the worst I have ever experienced. Regarding the problem - make sure that you do not have any items in the start up such as Linksys EasyLink Advisor and in particular nmctxth unchecked. Also, check that your Anti-Virus does not have the app blocked. I was instructed to uninstall and reinstall about six different times - which I did. This never solved anything. Then I notice a program named "Pure Networks", this appears to be app associated with LELA. The best I could tell this does not get uninstalled and reinstalled like the rest of the program. So I chased the app down to Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Pure Networks\Setup\PlatformSetupInstaller_0.msi . Executed this program which initiated an install program for the same and selected the REPAIR option from the three options (Repair\Modify\Uninstall). After about two or three minutes the program indicated the Repair had completed and the PC needed to be rebooted. Which I did and now the program (LELA) works with no issues. I think when you uninstall and reinstall the LELA program this never gets executed. So when you manually run the program it actually gets executed. I performed this Repair when the file: PlatformSetupInstaller_0.msi was selected and actually executed. The following error messages were indicated before the issue was resolved:
Error
MSG_100_000_003
Cannot find Platform service, make sure that the service is correctly installed on your machine.
Error
Object ref not set to an instance of an object.
Error
1628
These errors occured when various items were selected in LELA and after reboot on reinstall. And by the way LELA would be blank with no Network Map present. If you go through the log files under the Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Pure Networks and C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Linksys\Lela, then search for the word fail, you will turn up these errors in bits and parts. The registry key: 4CDCB1A1-87EE-49AB-9A9F-E270FC5DB823 led me to the Pure Networks program or I might not have figured it all out.
All of these error messages are related to the log files in either folder indicated above.
I hope this helps everyone - again the support was pitiful and I really expected more.

The Linksys Link Network Advisor (LELA) sometimes works, most of the times does not on our "House-PC"; we have to install the disk again when it gets stuck to make it work. Also, in order to make changes to our network, we can do it easily on its web site, but the LELA will not synchronize it sometimes; so we have to go again and put the disk in to re-install LELA and "synchronize" it; though in reality, it is as if we are installing LELA for the first time, everytime we want to make changes to our network, by the way, a real pain!! After reading the advice above, I also installed Sisco's (the Linksys parent company) Network Magic software and now all my computers in my network work seamessly, and perfectly well. I can even share my printers now!! Thanks for this advice; very helpful indeed.
a happy network administrator

When starting my Azure project in local debug mode, I get "Object reference not set to instance of an object" ...

... And then what happens is the application fails to start. I have the cloud service set as the startup project, and the HttpFacingInterface project, an MVC application, set as the only role. I have tried loading and unloading everything
as well as deleteing the role and re-adding it in the cloud service. I'm not sure when this started, as I had been working on a third project in the solution, a unit test project, which also exists but isnt added as a role to the cloud service. Please
help, I'd like the application to run normally.

hi Nathan,
Thanks for posting!
Did you want to add the UnitTest Project as a role into your azure project? Or Did you want to remove it?
If you want to add "UnitTest Project " as a role, the answer is no. This type project is only used as a test performance of your project. If you want to remove it from your project, you could right click on it, and select "remove
" directly. Or you could disable the checkbox on new project page, like this picture:
Also, you could refer to this solution from this page (http://www.amido.co.uk/mark-omahoney/publishing-in-windows-azure-object-reference-not-set-to-an-instance-of-an-object/
Hope it helps.
If I am misunderstanding, please let me know.

Will

Error: Server was unable to process request. --- Object reference not set

Hi All,
I am using ALSB 2.6.
In the project, i have requirement to do transformation of incoming request with CData Tag and getting a response from the remote service.
I have configured the Proxy Service and Business Service with a message route in which transformation is happening using replace action and adding a XSLT there.

[b]When i am sending the same request through SOAP UI, I am getting a correct response.
Can any one guide me what to do regarding this, where i am going wrong.
Please try to reply as soon as possible. Its an urgent issue.

That error you're getting is a typical error message from Windows web services. It simply means there was something unspecified that was wrong with your message. You'll need to find a way to extract the actual message being sent in both the "good" and "bad" cases and look at the differences. You can do that in ALSB with a "Log" action.

There was a bug in earlier releases for deleting dimensions with children, making the children orphans.
Heard from release notes that it has been fixed, but we are seeing this issue in 11.1.2.1 again.
Please help us out in resolving this error.

Hi,
I always ask this first, have you installed all the planning and epma patches as there have been many issues addressed in 9.3.1
Cheers

Trying to render to Quicktime files using network shared folders as a destination:
Unable to open file. (-1610153459)
The funny thing: it only happens when there are at least two shared folders mapped on the workstation, and the destination folder used for the rendered movie is not the first one.
If we have only two mapped drives, F: and G: for example, and we try to render something to F:, everything works fine and no error is showed. But, when the destination is the G: drive, rendering never works, the error is showed, but a zero-byte file is created in F: (!!). ODD! If we remap F: drive with a different letter, but a letter BEFORE G:, the problem always happens. If we remap drive F: to any letter AFTER G:, making G: the first available network drive, rendering works. Also, simply unmapping F: and leaving G: as the only connected network folder makes render to work.
We do not have a D: drive in our Windows 7 workstations, they are all C: only.
It is a 100% reproducible problem. We tried with three different Active Directory networks and workstations. It has all of the features of a software bug.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers!
Expected Results:
Error -43: file not found
Actual Results:
The workaround seems to be to use the full path to the servers instead of the mapped mount point (ie //server/z/... instead of Z:/...
Regression:
All versions of quicktime 7 in combination with windows 7 client and more than one smb share point mapped in a letter.
Notes:
All software that uses quicktime movie exports showed this error.

Not sure what file your are referencing? Thanks for your suggestion, however, it's not relavant.
It renders fine if you render to either the UNC path or the first mapped drive.
i.e. If you have two mapped drives G: and H:
they both point to \\fileserver\share1\folder
If you render to H: it will fail, if you render to G: it works! Same path, same user, same permissions.
The only difference is H comes after G, so it fails... BUG. If it was to do with anything else, underscores, permissions etc, it would fail on both.

Somebody has a solution?

almost you have everything, did you try to close the visual studio and start "Run as administrator". if not do it and try to redeploy.
I would also check if the Sharepoint Timer Services and Sharepoint administration Services running on all sharepoint server(via services console.)
Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem. ****************************************************************************************** Thanks -WS MCITP(SharePoint 2010, 2013) Blog: http://wscheema.com/blog
