Multiple errors from MsiInstaller with event id 1015 and text "Failed to connect to server. Error: 0x80070005"

Hi,
Every night I get a lot of warnings in the event log from MsiInstaller with event ID 1015 and text "Failed to connect to server. Error: 0x80070005". They are always followed by a new event 1035. Example:
Event 1015, MsiInstaller (Warning)
Failed to connect to server. Error: 0x80070005
Event 1035, MsiInstaller (Information)
Windows Installer reconfigured the product. Product Name: Microsoft Excel Mobile Viewer Components. Product Version: 14.0.4763.1000. Product Language: 0. Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation. Reconfiguration success or error status: 0.
I probably get around 50 of these each night, and the 1035 events are all related to various SharePoint components. The user in all cases is the sharepoint farm account.
I use SharePoint 2010 enterprise in a farm install on one virtual server. I have a private domain, and the database is on a separate server.
Does anyone have any idea why this happens? Other than the error in the event log I cannot see any issues with my installation. I have searched for this error and seen it related to user profile synchronisation, but profile sync is working fine for me. I
installed using the Technet guide and the user profile sync guide at
http://www.harbar.net/articles/sp2010ups.aspx
Thanks,

Hey Trevor. Thanks. I wasn't sure which method it was failing on although I understood it was the Windows Installer Service that was getting called by the job. There are three things that are still interesting to me though:
The job succeeds anyway. How? Does it just continue to run the rest of its checks but fails on this one? If it doesn't fail on this one, why not? If it does fail here, but then continues, should we be concerned about the quality of the data in Manage Patch
Status? 
Or... does it somehow succeed once it uses the DCOM rights which appear to clear the 10016 errors? What I've never been able to reconcile with these warnings is that we've granted DCOM rights to launch and activate the Windows Installer Service and
that definitely seems to make a difference to success or failure of the job - so why doesn't it clear these warnings? 
Why does granting the file system permissions clear the FIM version of this job's warnings, but not for the Product Version Job? This is particularly vexing since granting the DCOM rights appears to resolve the 10016 errors in exactly the same manner for
both jobs. 
All of this has led me to believe that there were missing permissions somewhere, probably on the file system, but I just haven't had any luck pinning that down. One reason why I continued to pursue a solution to this is that the job doesn't actually try
to install anything, it's just trying to use the Windows Installer Service to query the installed version, and the DCOM rights should be sufficient to invoke the service. But getting much further than this has proven pretty difficult since I'm not a dev and
I've kind of pushed my limited reflection skills and understanding of the Windows Installer Service to the limit. If anyone can chip in and make some progress from this point, it'd be great to join forces!

  • Can I buy a Lightroom upgrade (from LR3) with a perpetual licence and a student discount? If so, which page do I need? Thanks.

    I am trying to buy a Lightroom upgrade (from LR3) with a perpetual licence and with a student discount.
    If I go the student discount route on the web U get taken to the 'cloud' options which I don't want.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.
    PS Is the upgrade worth it in any case??

    I believe there are NO upgrades for Student and Teacher editions but you can see here: Products
    If the price is the same as an ordinary upgrade you are probably better off buying that because it can be upgraded in the future.

    How can I export photos from APERTURE with a new sequence and ignore the embedded JPEG number? Have tried renumbering to no avail.
    has anyone resolved this issue?
    This is now the second big Problem with using Apple's Appeture with NO apparent FIX...
    Aperture has NO DIRECT way to Burn to a CD/DVD & apparently NO way to RE-SEQUENCE the numbering system????
    ANYONE... I wish APPLE would address/fix these 2 problems... LIGHTROOM I guess is next?

    Hi David,
    Coming in and whining loudly is rude.  We are all volunteers here, voluntarily sharing our expertise so that users like you can make the most of their time with Aperture.  Speaking just for myself:  although I do care about your success with software (it's why I'm here), I don't care what software you use.  If you want to use Lightroom, do so, and post your questions in an appropriate forum.
    Burning files to a CD is a file operation done at the system level (it is built into OS X).  Aperture lets your create sharable image-format files from your Images.  You then use OS X's tools to burn those files to a CD.  Iirc, you can set up a "Burn Folder" in Finder, into which you can export files created from your Images, and with a single click burn your CD.
    Naming the files you create by exporting your Images can be tricky.  There are _many_ possibilities.  Some things can't be done.  Sequencing can be done in a number of ways (see Léonie's answer above).  What have you tried?  What was the result?  In what way did this differ from what you expected?

  • Publishing error (failed to connect to server)

    Using X5, I am trying to publish to our help server (web help

    I can not seem to figure out what ACL is incorrect. I tried
    running process monitor (from winternals), and did not see anything
    helpful. The IIS www worker process seems to access all the robo

    Has anyone else had this problem? Can I get some guidance on
    how to resolve? We are about to purchase support incidents, but the
    sooner I can resolve, the better.
    Any help appreciated. thanks,

    I'm afraid I won't be of much help except to say that this is
    a classic permissions issue. I have to assume you've checked and
    double-checked the link referred to in your post (which is a good
    one).
    You might also try this technote:

    to RoboEngine
    In helping others troubleshoot this, it sometimes turns out
    that there are firewall issues that are not obvious especially if
    you are in a large organization crossing many domains from author
    to server. Are you the ultimate "server admin" or is there someone
    in your organization's network admnistration who could help resolve
    the permission issue?
    Sorry I can't be of immediate help.

  • Is it possible to take the CDR data from a v4.2 Call Manager and copy it to a separate server where it would be made available for reporting?

    Is it possible to take the CDR data from a v4.2 Call Manager and copy it to a separate server where it would be made available for reporting? We are not interested in migrating the CDR data to v6 because of the concerns it introduces to the upgrade process. Is it possible to get the raw data and somehow serve it from a different machine? (knowing it would be 'old' data that stops as of a certain date). If so, what would be the complexity involved in doing so?
    It seems like the CDR data lives within MSSQL and the reporting interface is within the web server portion of the Call Manager... that's as far as we've dug so far.

    Hi
    It is absolutely possible to get the data - anyone you have in your org with basic SQL skills can move the data off to a standalone SQL server. This could be done most simply by backing up and restoring the DB using SQL Enterprise Manager.
    Moving the CAR/ART reporting tool would be more difficult... if you do actually use that for reporting (most people find it doesn't do what they need and don't use it for anything but basic troubleshooting, and get a third party package) then the best option may be to keep your publisher (possibly assigning it a new IP) and leave it running for as long as you need reporting.
    You would then need a new server to run your upgraded V6 CCM; you may find you need this anyway.

  • Safari has stopped opening certain webpages and says can't connect to server... This started 3 months ago with FB and now randomly with another site... all other sites are fine.. Help?

    Safari has stopped opening certain webpages and says can't connect to server... This started 3 months ago with FB and now randomly with another site... all other sites are fine.. Help?
    I've tried resetting safari, deleting all webpage data and setting time/date to automatic, but no such luck.
    The message that comes up is: "Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server 'Facebook' "
    I'd be genuinely impressed if anyone were to actually work out what was wrong.

    Hi ..
    Might be a cookies, cache, or extensions issue.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:  Remove All Website Data
    Then delete the cache.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that doesn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

    while updating my ipad to new software through itunes it got stuck and does not work anymore - it just displays the screen with symbols of itunes and the cable to connect to it - help - what should i do?

    Disconnect the iPad, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!, reconnect and follow the prompts.

  • Sync always fails to connect to server with no reason

    On two of my computers (both Macs running 10.6.7, one a MacBook Air and one an older iMac), Sync fails, saying "failed to connect to server"
    When I try again (and again, and again...) it results in the same message. It has synced successfully in the past, but has not in more than a week.
    I can't figure out how to get it to sync or even how to get more information about the issue.
    Any help, ideas or suggestions - including questions clarifying or detailing the issue - are welcome.
    Thank you!!

    If Oracle reports error about Net8 configuration, that means -
    you're trying to use "thick" JDBC driver, though usual way
    is to use "thin" driver instead. You have to make corrections
    in your connect url like:

    Change your settings in Sharing preferences, for one, and remove the server out of the Finder's sidebar. Obviously, this is the result of transfering all your other computer's preferences to your new computer.

  • Linking multiple emails to a single event in ical and/or to do's

    Hi:
    Often I receive emails and I want to link them to an event in ical. OS X does this just fine as long as there is date in the email that OS X can recognize. The problem is sometimes I get multiple emails relating to the same event and I would like to be able to link all of those emails to one single event in ical. My same questions applies to 'to do' items.
    And a follow up question--say I receive an email that has no date explicit in the text-I've tried to find some function that would allow me to schedule a new event in ical and would link that email to it. (I hope that all makes sense) I'm open to whatever solution I'll even pay money for 3rd party software if anyone knows of a good program. But I"m looking to stick to the basic ical interface. Any suggestions?

    Hi rtwigg,
    seems this is one of visio graphics limitation regarding the external data.
    visio graphics, may only support for one row.
    you may consider this idea :
    "It is a good idea to separate your rows into visual units so that you have everything you need and nothing else in a single row. To link a shape to a data row, simply drag the row from the external data window and drop it on the shape. A default data
    graphic should immediately appear next to the shape displaying some data from the row. From here you are able to customize the graphic to fit your needs"
    by means, you may need to use the visio client.
