1822 TopicsDatabase in an "inconsistent state" and other errors
Hello. I was directed here for help by Microsoft Tech Support because the problem is "file specific" and not at the app level. I am not computer savvy and have never used a forum like this. Tech support just kind of dumped me here and said "have at it," so any guidance, help, etc. would be appreciated. I use Microsoft Office 365 as a personal/individual subscriber and my Access program started issuing error message over the past week. The biggest concern and problem is around db called Comic Books and I've attached the error message. When I click OK, it attempts to repair, fails and issues the second message. Another database--an earlier copy of Comic Books from mid December-- opens OK, but has its own problems, such as when I attempt to simply copy a table (see third error message). I don't know if these are related. Can anyone help me? Is there any hope for me ever regaining access to the Comic Books database which was last accessible and working on January 4? Thank you.75Views0likes1CommentLinking cloud only shared mailbox with onpremise object

Hello, I am unable to run the Exchange Hybrid Configuration Wizard (HCW) for our Exchange 2016 environment. The issue occurs on multiple machines and networks, so it does not appear to be a local configuration problem. Environment: Exchange Server: 2016 CU23 Windows versions tested: Windows Server 2016, Windows 10 (all fully updated) .NET Framework: 4.8 (Release 528040 / 4.8.03761) TLS: TLS 1.2 enabled, SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0/1.1 disabled Network: No proxy, firewall, or other network restrictions; internet access available Problem: When attempting to run HCW via https://aka.ms/HybridWizard, the wizard fails to start. I have also tried to run HCW offline by downloading Microsoft.Online.CSE.Hybrid.Client.application, but it immediately fails. The error log shows the following repeated messages: Downloading file:///C:/Users/.../Application Files/Microsoft.Online.CSE.Hybrid.Client_17_1_3902_0/Microsoft.Online.CSE.Hybrid.Client.exe.manifest did not succeed. Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\...\Application Files\Microsoft.Online.CSE.Hybrid.Client_17_1_3902_0\Microsoft.Online.CSE.Hybrid.Client.exe.manifest' This occurs on all tested machines (three PCs across three different networks). ClickOnce cache has been cleared, root certificates are up-to-date, .NET is 4.8, and TLS 1.2 is active. Attempts to resolve: Ensured TLS 1.2 is enabled and default in .NET and OS Verified .NET 4.8 installation Cleared ClickOnce cache (rundll32 dfshim CleanOnlineAppCache) Updated root certificates Tried multiple machines and networks Tried to run offline using .application file and local copy of Application Files Result: HCW fails immediately with DeploymentDownloadException / DirectoryNotFoundException for the manifest. The issue is reproducible on all tested machines. Request: Please advise if there is an official offline installation method for HCW or a way to obtain a working manifest. If this is a temporary issue with the hosted distribution, please confirm expected resolution or workaround. Thank you for your assistance.136Views0likes2CommentsMoving or Copying Files: Painfully Slow, Loss of Data
Hello All! Our company transitioned over to SharePoint Online about a year ago. One of the largest complaints I have to date, is the time it takes to move or copy files. In cases of one or two files, the time is minimal. But in cases where larger file moves are taking place - the pace of transfer is painfully slow. For example, today it took approx. 30 mins to transfer only 45.8 MB. Earlier this month, an employee spent the entire day waiting for files to transfer, only for her computer to stop responding, and have to re-start the entire process the next day. On our previous server based environment, the same transfer would take less than 30 minutes. Additionally, in some of these larger file moves, users have reported large losses of data. The files were moved, and confirmed, only to come in the next day and they have disappeared. This issue is decreasing adoption and causing our IT team multiple headaches. Any suggestions or helpful feedback?Solved126KViews4likes58CommentsEm Dash short cut not working in Word
I am using Windows 11 Pro on my Lenovo P14 laptop, and Windows 11 on my HP Pavillion x360. I often write in Word and insert Em dashes. CTRL+ALT+"-" (shortcut). Both machines have this setting automatically in Word's built-in shortcuts, however the Lenovo machine ignores the shortcut sequence and inserts nothing (the HP works fine). I have reinstalled the OS and Office Pro 16 MS Word on Lenovo, and nothing helps. Any suggestions?49KViews0likes6CommentsSharePoint Workflow Manager service constantly restarting - InvalidCastException
We recently started encountering an issue with the Microsoft Workflow Manager. Every few minutes the Workflow Manager service will crash and restart. We have 3 hosts to manage 2013 workflows in our SharePoint 2016 environment. Workflows in the environment continue to work, but sometimes delayed or unavailable. We went ahead and upgraded to the SharePoint workflow manager that was released this year (2023) as the Microsoft one has been deprecated, still with 3 nodes in the farm. We are still encountering the same issue. All that is recorded in the event viewer is "Failed Service Bus Operation: System.InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid." Which is then followed by "Application: Microsoft.Workflow.ServiceHost.exe Framework Version: v4.0.30319 Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception." And after a moment or two, the Workflow Service comes back online. My best guess is that there is an offending workflow that is trying to cast an incompatible value? I can't seem to find it though, and I find it odd that it crashes the workflow service and there is no further information on what workflow or where to look to fix it. Nothing in the SPLogfiles that jumps out either. Here are the screenshots from the Event Viewer:2.9KViews0likes4CommentsBest Practice guide for stretched HA farm?
Hi, Im planning a SharePoint Subscription farm over 2 data centers. Should be pretty simple. Farm will consist of: dc 1: 1 spfe, 1 spapp, 1 sql dc 2: 1 spfe, 1 spapp, 1 sql Sql servers will be AlwaysOn. Im not sure how to set up the sp servers. Is there a preferred way to set it up, with how to? Our domains have 10gb connections so should be more than sufficient for stretched and HA. Can CA site be hosted from multiple servers? How are IPs/DNS/certs handled? What else do I need to get my head around? Thanks. Swan19Views0likes0CommentsWorkload by week/ month export to Excel
