Outlook Web add-in - localstorage is cleared between messages - internet-explorer-11

I need your help.
OS: Windows Server 2019
IE11: version 1809
I believe Outlook win app is using that IE11 as embedded web viewer. I save some data in localStorage, but when I select another message and open my web add-in and my localStorage keys do not exist. It looks like they are cleared "on exit'? Anybody faced such problem?
Thanks

A regular user was missing the access rights to \AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\DOMStore. I ran icacls %userprofile%\Appdata\LocalLow /t /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)L and it solved my issue.

Error while installing the "base" Office 365 Outlook add-in

I created an Outlook add-in using Office developer tools for Visual Studio 2015.
The project is correctly generated, and I deployed it to an azure app service.
When I try to add the add the manifest to my Office 365 dev subscription, I get the following error : "Something went wrong, and we couldn't install your add-in. Please try again later"
This manifest is the exact manifest generated by VS, the only modification was to replace the place holder for the Web URL by the one of the Azure app service.
Has anyone encountered this issue before ?
Thanks.
Can you upload or copy/paste the manifest you are trying?
If you are installing via URL. This is also a common error that is given when OWA cannot download the Manifest from the URL. There could be permissions/something wrong with the URL.
Otherwise, you may also get more detailed information on why the install is failing if you install from the Manage App page instead of the In Client Store Page. (Detailed errors on the In Client Store Page will be added soon)

InfoPath 2010 publish issues; resolved with reboot

I receive the following error message about 50% of the time when trying to publish an InfoPath 2010 form template to my corporate SharePoint site:
The image text reads:
Infopath canot save the following form: https://sharepoint.site.com/home/subsite/form_library
This document library was either renamed or deleted, or network problems are preventing the file from being saved. If this problem persists, contact your network administrator.
The thing that is odd about this is that I can resolve the problem by rebooting my system and reauthenticating to the site. I am then able to republish my template at least once.
Things I have tried:
Clearing my SSL state in Internet Explorer, reauthenticating to SharePoint in the browser
Starting InfoPath from the run prompt with the following switches: infopath /cache clearall
Rebooting (always fixes the issue - would like to avoid this)
My corporate SharePoint site sits on a different domain than my desktop. This could be an issue here, but I don't know why it would persist after reauthenticating.
This topic may fit more neatly on the SharePoint SE site, but the potential for networking related problems made me feel the need to post it to SO.
For me, I was able to resolve by closing out of IP and then bringing up Task Manager and killing a still living IP process. Opening IP and republishing. No reboot required.
Hope this helps someone.
This issue occurs because the Desktop Experience feature is not enabled on the Windows Server 2008 R2 server. Therefore, connections cannot be made from the Windows Server 2008 R2 server to the SharePoint server.

Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer

I installed Microsoft SharePoint and Project PWA on Windows Server 2008 R2.
When I want to open Library in Windows Explorer, I randomly get an error:
Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer
When I open IE it's working for 1st and 2nd time, but after some clicks it's not working anymore and I need to restart IE and then it normally works for couple of times.
When it not working through Sharepoint it also not works via \server\DavWWWRoot\PWA and oposite.
I'm searching through the web for weeks and didn't find any solution.
Do you have any idea what should be wrong here. Any suggestion is welcome :)
I had the same exact issue with Windows 7 and explorer view. The following steps resolved the issue for me:
First - be sure that the Web Client service is running (run>services.msc).
Next - In I.E. check Tools>Internet Options>Security>Local Intranet>Sites>Advanced and add the site that you want to use explorer view with.
This finally fixed it for me. I hope that you have already found a solution to this issue! I was surprised at how difficult it was to find a solution to this problem!
This error message is a symptom to a billion different problems.
I solved this problem when I realized my XP32 box could do this just fine with IE8. So I reverted to IE8 in 7x64 (you have to do it by uninstalling updates for IE until you're back at 8) and it didn't work. The build versions were different and on the 7x64 "about" box it said IE8 was using 256-bit cipher while in XP32 it had 128-bit. That to me was a hint that there may be 64-bit issues even when you run the 32-bit executable.
Then I found this hotfix so I reinstalled the windows update for IE10 and then installed this hotfix. Now I'm able to open the TeamCenter site in question in windows Explorer. IE10 reports it's version 10.0.9200.16686. I cannot guarantee that it was the hotfix alone (and not also the reinstallation of IE10) which fixed it. But I'm willing to bet it was the hotfix alone.
In XP I found it impossible to then map this network location to a drive letter, as mapping doesn't like URL's. However in Windows 7 you can transform the URL so that it is interpreted as a Windows share. If the URL of a given folder is of this form:
https://somesharepoint.com/folder1/folder2/folder3
you can also access it as
\\somesharepoint.com#SSL\DavWWWRoot\folder1\folder2\folder3
and, in this form, it can be mapped to a drive letter.
I do have issues at that point that even with IE10 open and logged in to the site I see some random time-out like problems and I get kicked off (and prompted to log in again in IE10). My situation is complicated because the site I'm accessing requires an Exostar token to log in, so I have to log in via website no matter what.
If it helps any one do the steps suggested above:
Make sure to use 32 bit internet explorer (program files (x86)/internet explorer).
Like was mentioned above Web client must be started.
You may also need to add your site to trusted sites in internet explorer.
Make sure enabled protected mode in internet options is disabled.
This is what finally fixed it for me: Check "Keep me signed in" on the login page. This was the key for me. Will not work without it checked in my case.
I had the same symptoms, and it turned out I don't have a root site collection. Creating one solved this for me.
Summarized the troubleshooting steps here:
http://letitknow.wordpress.com/2012/07/22/your-client-does-not-support-opening-this-list-with-windows-explorer-error/
There can be multiple reasons for it.
One could be using IE x64 version. It won't work there.
Secondly, check out this blog:

I experienced the same problem as well.
And I found out that if none of the above options are working, and if you work in an organisation, maybe the proxy is blocking the "Open with Explorer" option.
I did the same, and removed the proxy and it worked just fine.
this fixed it for me ( however in windows server 2008 you may need to install desktop experience i think its called)
After you log into windows go into services then restart the WebClient then see if you can use explorer view without the error " your client does not support. blah blah blah" if it does work then. make a batch file that says:
net stop webclient
net start webclient
then make a scheduled tasks that runs that batch file at start up. Have it run as a user with administrative rights, make sure you tell it to run even if user is not logged in. it should prompt you for the password of the admin account you selected. this worked for me with windows 7.
I found online where the error can occur intermittently with SharePoint 2010, however I think the SharePoint version is irrelevant. They said the client polls for a SharePoint root site and that the error occurs if one isn't found.
We have not seen the error since I created a root site even though we’re only using WSS3. Our errors began when we changed clients to Windows 7. So in our case it sounds like the issue could be the root site polling due to an IE8 security change in Windows 7.
SOLUTION:
*you on x64 bit machine* so solution is that there is no problem but you are using the wrong IE shortcut.
There are different IE types you can use (just type Internet Explorer in start search bar) and you will see..
Internet Explorer (64-bit) - won't show any sharepoint add-ons
Internet Explorer (No Add-ons) - won't show any sharepoint add-ons
Internet Explorer - only this will show sharepoint add-ons and will
work so basically make sure you always use this version of IE

unable to Start Profile Synchronization in sharepoint 2010

i am unable to Start Profile Synchronization in sharepoint 2010 from central admin
due to which the Compile Audiences does not work
an error message pop up when i click on Start Profile Synchronization
" " can not navigate to the requested page while user profile synchronization is running please wait for current synchronization run to finish. ""
please help regarding this problem
thanks in advance
this problem occurred in windows 7 how ever it worked fine with Server2008
The way i understand it, when you install sharepoint 2010 on your desktop (Windows 7), certain components are very picky about how they are installed (user profiles sync), and some just wont install (FAST search).
This is pretty much the reason i stuck with creating vm's for development.
The best way to resolve this is, open the Forefront Identity Manager 2010 and check for the actual failure. Most of the cases you get problems because of the user trying to connect to AD do not have replication directory changes access.
Take a look at this post:

System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7

I have a web site that I developed on Vista using Vb.net9. It makes a connection to Oracle. for the connection I use System.Data.OracleClient. It works fine on my machine, and our test server, but it does not work on the production server. We installed the Oracle Client 11 on the server. The error is System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7
We've tried, making a console app that opens the connection, connection runs fine, opens, displays a message and all is well there.
Then we make a simple web form, put it in the directory of the program, just a button, opens the connection, try..catch, grabs error, same error.
The console app was running under an Administrator, web site running under iwam. Is it possible that iwam has a different path?
I've run into this error dozens of times:
Cause
Security permissions were not properly set when the Oracle client was installed on Windows with NTFS. The result of this is that content of the ORACLE_HOME directory is not visible to Authenticated Users on the machine; this causes an error while the System.Data.OracleClient is communicating with the Oracle Connectivity software from ASP.NET using Authenticated User privileges.
Solution
To fix the problem you have to give the Authenticated Users group privilege to the Oracle Home directory.
Log on to Windows as a user with Administrator privileges.
Start Windows Explorer and navigate to the ORACLE_HOME folder.
Choose properties on the ORACLE_HOME folder.
Click the Security tab of the Properties window.
Click on Authenticated Users item in the Name list.
Un-check the Read and Execute box in the Permissions list under the Allow column.
Re-check the Read and Execute box under the Allow column.
Click the Advanced button and in the Permission Entries verify that Authenticated Users are listed with permission: Read & Execute, and Apply To: This folder, subfolders and files. If not, edit that line and make sure that Apply To drop-down box is set to This folder, subfolders and files. This should already be set properly but it is important that you verify it.
Click the OK button until you close out all of the security properties windows. The cursor may present the hour glass for a few seconds as it applies the permissions you just changed to all subfolders and files.
Reboot, to assure that the changes have taken effect.
Try your application again.
The author of this post (now deleted post) suggests checking your C:\Windows\System32 folder to make sure that the oci.dll exists there. Copying in the file from the Oracle home directory solved this problem for me.
Update 1: It is possible for different users to have different path. But its not the likely problem here. There is more chance that the user that the iwam user doesn't have permission to the oracle client directory.
Update 0: Its suppose to work. Check for environment variable ( That are needed to find the oracle client and tnsnames.ora ). Also, Maybe you have a 32/64 bit issues. Also, consider using the Oracle Data Provider for .NET ( search for odp.net)
Oracle Client version 11 cannot connect to 8i databases. You will need a client in version 10 at most.
When we first moved over to Vista with Oracle 10g, we experienced this issue when we installed the Oracle client on our Vista boxes, even when we were running with admin privileges during install.
Oracle brought out a new version of the 10g client (10.2.0.3) that was Vista compatible.
I do believe that this was after 11g was released, so it is possible that there is a 'Vista compatible' version for 11g also.
Why not use this: dotConnect for Oracle (formerly known as OraDirect .NET)?
It can be configured to not require an Oracle Client at all.
We have been using this in both Windows Services and ASP.NET Web Services and it works like a charm.
For me, the issue was some plugin in my Visual Studio started forcing my application into x64 64bit mode, so the Oracle driver wasn't being found as I had Oracle 32bit installed.
So if you are having this issue, try running Visual Studio in safemode (devenv /safemode).
I could find that it was looking in SYSWOW64 for the ic.dll file by using the ProcMon app by SysInternals/Microsoft.
Update: For me it was the Telerik JustTrace product that was causing the issue, it was probably hooking in and affecting the runtime version somehow to do tracing.
Update2: It's not just JustTrace causing an issue, JustMock is causing the same processor mode issue. JustMock is easier to fix though: Click JustMock-> Disable Profiler and then my web app's oracle driver runs in the correct CPU mode. This might be fixed by Telerik in the future.
