FIX for “There was a problem sending the command to the program”
I encountered this error the other day and hadn’t seen it before:
When starting any office program by opening a file, the user saw: “There was a problem sending the command to the program.” Then when dragging the file to Excel, the file opened fine. What the heck?!
Turns out you have to turn off something called DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) in the settings. This Microsoft KB article details the problem.
Go to the Office app in question and go to the Options. From there, click on Advanced and make sure “”Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)” is UNCHECKED like below in my version of Excel 2016.
Disable the Calendar on a User or Shared Mailbox In Exchange
This works for Office365 or an internal Exchange server to disable the calendar on a Shared Mailbox or User’s Mailbox. First, you’ll have to pull up the Exchange Management Shell. Then run the following commands:
New-OwaMailboxPolicy –Name “New Policy Name”
Creates a new mailbox policy
Set-OwaMailboxPolicy –Identity “New Policy Name” –CalendarEnabled $false
Sets the calendar for all mailboxes under the policy to be off
Set-CASMailbox –Identity “shared mailbox” –OwaMailboxPolicy “newpolicy”
Applies the policy to the mailbox in question
Enabling SMB1 or CIFS on Windows Server 2012
Ran into this this week. Even though I hate doing it and definitely don’t recommend it, I had to enable CIFS on a Server 2012 instance. To do this, you first have to install the “SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support” Feature, and then do the following:
Open the Registry Editor, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer and change the value of DependOnService from SamSS Srv2 to SamSS Srv.
Reboot the server and that’s it! Enjoy your legacy application / device!
