PowerPoint - Present Online - Error starting online presentation - Cannot connect to this service. Check your network connection and try again.

"Present Online
Error starting online presentation
Cannot connect to this service. Check your network connection and try again."
On March 31, we starting experiencing this issue across our entire domain. We have not made any changes to our network configuration. We are using the same ISP, routing hardware, computer hardware, software versions and group policy settings as we were on March
30.
The issue appears to be related to network connectivity. 
Here is what I have found so far:
We have three networks in our building and two ISPs.
Network-A uses ISP-A and is affected by the issue. Network-A is our corporate domain.
Network-B uses ISP-B and is affected by the issue.
Network-C uses ISP-B and is not affected by the issue.
If I take a Network-A domain member and launch PowerPoint while connected to Network-A and ISP-A I am unable to upload PowerPoint presentations. 
If I connect the same computer to Network-C, the issue persists.
If I close PowerPoint, connect to Network-C, and reopen PowerPoint while connected to Network-C, I am able to upload presentations.
A non-domain computer is affected by the issue if PowerPoint is opened while connected to Network-A or Network-B, but unaffected if PowerPoint is launched while connected to Network-C. Again, in this scenario, switching connections while PowerPoint is open
has no effect.
The issue appears to be caused during PowerPoint start-up and not while attempting to share a document.
Microsoft is either unwilling or unable to find a resolution and has finally resorted to simply ignoring my calls, voicemails, emails, and ticket requests regarding this issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Here is a brief description of our configuration and what I have tried so far.

  • An error occurred while configuring server as a directory server.  Please check your network configuration and try again.

    Hi there,
    My Mac OS X Server 8.2 got buggered after I did the following steps:
    Wiped Profile manager using "/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/share/devicemgr/backend/wipeD B.sh"
    Clicking the Off button in the Profile Manager section of the Server.app
    Clicking the On button of the same
    Clicking on asks if I want to create a new directory master, but I know that one already exists.  Trying to continue confirms this.  So, I go and destroy it to start again, but afterward, I get the following error when trying to create the directory master:
    I've done this enough times while watching the system log to see the actual error thrown, which is:
    Nov 12 22:01:24 srv.domain.com Server[279]: An error occurred while configuring srv as a directory server:
        Error Domain=XSActionErrorDomain Code=-1 "A child action failed" UserInfo=0x7fee9516c0f0 {XSActionErrorActionsKey=(
            "Creating Open Directory master"
        ), NSLocalizedDescription=A child action failed}
    I have Googled the above and have discovered only a few entries here in these Apple communities, but have found no joy.
    Here's a similar threads: 
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19237429#19237429
    Interestingly/confusingly, this server has been working just fine as a domain master using different domain names (on separate occasions/setups).  It was only after having clicked the OFF button in Profile Manager (after a wipe) that things stopped working.
    I could rebuild this server, as I have a backup image of it that I can restore, but I'd rather find out what's broken and fix it so as to hopefully be able to fix it if/when this ever happens to me again, learning something in the process.
    That said, I perform the following steps prior to running the Open Directory setup on a the server to try and clean it up as best possible.
    Clean up steps:
    Delete the DNS zone (and all entries).
    Turn off all server services
    Delete all file server sharepoints
    Change the host name at Hardware => SRV => Network tab.  This runs the Change Host Name program.
    Close Server.app
    Throw Server.app in the trash / Empty trash (I've also just trashed and put back with same result)
    Delete the /Library/Server directory
    Clear and recreate System keychain using "systemkeychain -vfcC" to clear out all the certs related to old host name.
    Delete all the entries in the Login keychain
    Reboot (probably don't have to)
    Re-download and install Server.app
    Run Server.app, which actually retains some settings from the last setup, though I don't know where to clean those.
    After Server setup, confirm that the host name from step 4 is what I want.
    Running "changeip -checkhostname" shows "Success".  I'm using an Internet domain name so pinging the "internal" zone (srv.domain.com) resolves with the correct internal IP, and pinging the "external" zone resolves to the correct external address on the Internet.
    It would seem like I'm all good to go, but when I try to turn on Open Directory and go through the setup prompts, I get the same "Confirm Settings" error as above.
    The *only* way that I've come close to "fixing" this is to cancel out of the Profile Manager.  Then, go destroy the open directory that already exists.  Then create the domain via the Profile Manager enabling process.  At present, this only seems work to for a "private" domain.  Neither of the two Internet domain names that I've used successfully in the past work with this (or any) method. 
    Any advice or clues you can throw my way would be most appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Kim

  • Regarding mac os x server 10.6 installation, getting an error" Please inspect your network setting and try again"

    Hi,
    we need your urgent help regarding mac os x server 10.6 installation, actually we are stuck in the installation at the point of Network settings. getting an error " Please inspect your network setting and try again" pls give us a solution of it , would be very thankful.
    MTS

    Well, there isn't much anyone can tell you without more information.
    Clearly the installer is complaining about your proposed network configuration, but without seeing it, or knowing what you expect, it's almost impossible to advise.
    I'd guess that it's some combination of the IP address/subnet mask and router address that's invalid, but without seeing them that's little more than a stab in the dark.

  • Error message:FRM-12001: Cannot Create the record group(check your query)

    Requirement: Need to get employee name and number in the LOV in search criteria.
    So I created LOV "full_name" and Record group Query under Employee Name property palette with
    select papf.title||' '||papf.last_name||', '||papf.first_name||' '||papf.middle_names emp_full_name

    AND PPT.default_flag='Y' and papf.BUSINESS_GROUP_ID=1
    order by papf.full_name
    I was unable to save and getting error message "FRM-12001: Cannot Create the record group(check your query)".
    I cant use PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F.FULL_NAME since full name here is last_name||title||middle_names||firstname.
    But my requiremnet is papf.title||' '||papf.last_name||', '||papf.first_name||' '||papf.middle_names emp_full_name .
    Can any one of you help me.

    First, Magoo wrote:
    <pre><font face = "Lucida Console, Courier New, Courier, Fixed" size = "1" color = "navy">create or replace function emp_full_name ( p_title in varchar2,
    p_last_name in varchar2,

    from dual ) loop
    return ( l_rec.full_name );
    end loop;
    end;</font></pre>
    Magoo, you don't ever need to use Select from Dual. And the loop is completely unnecessary, since Dual always returns only one record. This would be much simpler:
    <pre><font face = "Lucida Console, Courier New, Courier, Fixed" size = "1" color = "navy">create or replace function emp_full_name
    ( p_title in varchar2,
    p_last_name in varchar2,
    p_first_name in varchar2,
    p_mid_names in varchar2 ) return varchar2 is
    begin
    Return ( Ltrim( Rtrim ( p_title
    ||' ' ||p_last_name
    ||', '||p_first_name
    ||' ' ||p_middle_names )));
    end;</font></pre>
    And second:
    user606106, you did not mention how you got your record group working. However, you DO have an issue with spaces. If you change this:
    <pre><font face = "Lucida Console, Courier New, Courier, Fixed" size = "1" color = "navy">select papf.title||' '||papf.last_name||', '||papf.first_name||' '||papf.middle_names emp_full_name
    ,papf.employee_number </font></pre>
    to this:
    <pre><font face = "Lucida Console, Courier New, Courier, Fixed" size = "1" color = "navy">select Ltrim(Rtrim(papf.title||' '||papf.last_name||', '
    ||papf.first_name||' '||papf.middle_names)) AS emp_full_name,
    papf.employee_number</font></pre>
    it should work. The Ltrim(Rtrim()) removes leading and trailing spaces from the resulting full name.

    searched "Ipod detected but can't be identified properly" site:support.apple.com with ZERO results - pretty strange that the support site wouldn;t know an iTunes generated error message (?)  EDIT - had an "aha! moment when using a fresh Google search page and 'suggested' CANNOT
    then "Ipod detected but can't be identified properly" site:discussions.apple.com had ONE result = Can't connect to iTunes with ipod touch (-50 error) - NO REPLIES

  • Facetime error "Could not sign in. please check your network connectivity and try again

    When I try to log in to Facetime on my iMac, it gives me the an error. "Could not sign in. please check your network connectivity and try again" I have already tried fixing the time and I dont have any firewall installed

    This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are many possible causes for it. Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Before proceeding, test on another network, if possible. That could be a public Wi-Fi hotspot, if your computer is portable, or a cellular network if you have a mobile device that can share its Internet connection. If you find that iMessage works on the other network, the problem is in your network or at your ISP, not in your computer.
    Step 1
    Check the status of the service. If the service is down, wait tor it to come back up. There may be a localized outage, even if the status indicator is green.
    Step 2
    Sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your Apple devices. Log out and log back in. Try again to sign in.
    Step 3
    Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate. You may have to skip this step if you don't control those devices.
    Step 4
    From the menu bar, select
               ▹ About This Mac
    Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or invalid according to this web form, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.
    Step 5
    Take the steps suggested in this support article. If you don't understand some of the steps or can't carry them out, ask for guidance.
    Step 6
    From the menu bar, select
               ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
    If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If the box marked SOCKS Proxy is checked, uncheck it. You don’t need to change any other settings in the window. Click OK and then Apply. Test.
    The result may be that you can't connect to the Internet at all. Revert the change if that happens, or if iMessage still doesn't work. Remember that you must Apply any changes you make in the preference pane before they take effect.
    Step 7
    Select from the menu bar
               ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Storage
    and click
              Block all sites from storing information on this computer
    Close the preference pane.
    Step 8
    Make sure you know the ID and password you use with iMessage. Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to find and delete all items with "iMessage" or "com.apple.idms" in the name. Log out and log back in.
    Step 9
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    If iMessage worked in the guest account, stop here and post your results.
    Step 10
    Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you start up, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound outputand Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. After testing, restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and test again.
    If iMessage worked in safe mode, but still doesn't work when you restart in "normal" mode, stop here and post your results.
    Step 11
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.apsd.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 12
    Reset the NVRAM.
    Step 13
    Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
    Step 14
    Reinstall OS X.
    Step 15
    If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or contact Apple Support. When you set up a support call, select "Apple ID" as the product you need help with, not the hardware model. That way, if you're not under AppleCare, you may be able to talk your way out of being charged for the call.
