Exception from HRESULT: 0x80041050

Error message: /sites/Sharepoint].xml" contains the following virus: "Reason:= ".

If you want to open this file, you'll need to clean the file using your own virus scanning software. Do you want to save the file to your computer and attempt to clean it.

Background: A user reported that he tried to open an InfoPath form from a SharePoint site and got the error message mentioned above. There is no error occurring when opening any other file. If he clicks yes, and saves the file on the local desktop, he gets the exception error:“Exception from HRESULT: 0x80041050”

 Troubleshooting:

Tried opening the file on the same site, get error message.
Tried to download the file, get the exception error message.
Tried opening the other file on the same site and it is opening fine.
The only issue was with the one file.

Resolution:

Based on the TechNet article http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd795107(v=office.12).aspx  

To determine whether or not the file is actually infected, you will need to look at the error message for the specific error code 0x80041050. This means that the item is virus-infected. If the item is virus-infected, either delete the infected item, or attempt to clean it using your virus scan application. If the item is not virus-infected, restart the content deployment job.

You can also try to look if there is Virus infected file in the SQL Content DB by running the following query:

Create a new query and run:Select *
from AllDocs
where (VirusStatus > 0) and (VirusStatus is not null)
If you get any results this is your issue!  (Given that you don't actually have some virus in that file.)
Run the next query: Update AllDocs
set VirusStatus = null
where (VirusStatus > 0) and (VirusStatus is not null)

The named item cannot be displayed

Before we start troubleshooting on this, let’s try to understand the term-

What is meant by name item? - In this view, you can only display one or more named items in the workbook. A named item can be one of the following:

1)      A chart

2)      An Excel table

3)      A PivotTable report

4)      A PivotChart report

5)      Named range of cells.

How I encountered this error? – I have added an excel web access web part on my SharePoint site collection, modify the webpart and entered the details for workbook location and name item field by specifying tab7 inside the excel spreadsheet as I don’t want to display my spreadsheet in the EWA.

As soon as I clicked ok, the excel web access webpart throws an exception as follows:

The named item cannot be displayed. The name item is either not available in the workbook or was not selected as a name item for viewing when the workbook was published. The name item may also be located in a hidden range of cells or in a collapsed outline.

Action taken / troubleshooting done:

1.       Checked the status of excel service application and it was fine

2.       Checked the excel service status by means of Central Administration- services on server and it was fine too.

3.       Need to isolate the problem first- whether its farm specific or file specific or EWA web part specific.

4.       Checked the document library where all the excel documents were stored. Clicked on the dropdown of any excel file and selected ‘view in browser’ – it opens up fine!

5.       Came back to the excel web access webpart- modify it and remove the name item field and kept it blank – click apply & checked the results

6.       With the above action- the excel web access web part loads the excel file without any problems.

7.       So far so good! Still trying to find out the resolution!

Resolution:-

Change Published Items within a Workbook: -

When we initially published our workbook to Excel Services, we simply gave it a name and accepted the default values. Whenever we click the Save icon, rather than re-publishing the workbook, we’re merely saving the data back to the document library. The significance here is that when publishing a workbook to Excel Services, we have the option of specifying additional metadata, but when saving, the metadata is not changed. We received the error because the metadata did not contain details of our new named item.

1.       Open the excel file on your desktop (not from the SharePoint site, if you don’t have saved on the desktop then please save it.)

2.       On the top ribbon- click on File

3.       Click on Share

4.       Publish to Excel Services

5.       Current location

6.       Save as - automatically displays the contents of our Excel Workbooks document library

7.       Click Publish to Excel services to open the save as dialogue

8.       Excel Services Options button now appears in the bottom

9.       Excel Service Options button

10.   Here we need to define or overwrite metadata for the document

In the Excel Services Options dialog’s Show tab, select Items In The Workbook from the drop-down list.

Check the All Named Ranges and the All Charts options to ensure that they will be available for use by the EWA web part

Click Save to complete the publishing process

That’s it- You are done!

Make the necessary changes inside the excel web access (EWA) and check the results.

The workbook cannot be opened

I have configured the excel services in my environment perfectly by using Microsoft recommended articles but while testing, i have added the excel file inside excel web access webpart to check as the functionality is properly working or not but boom – as soon as the page loads – it throws an exception.

The workbook cannot be opened.

 

This problem can be occurring mainly because of two reasons:-

1)   Custom security settings

2)   Addition of new web application to the farm.

One thing we need to make sure – whenever we add any web application then make sure the proxy settings/connections should be default one. Other way will be- You need to manually check the excel service application proxy to make sure that the new web application is already a part of the existing set.

How to do this:-

1.   SharePoint 2010 Central Administration

2.   Application management

3.   Configure service application associations

4.   Ensure the excel service application check box is tick with respect to that new web application

So far so good! – If still the error persists then I would recommend you to check the SharePoint logs to get the clarity on the exact root cause.

Regarding my case, I did the same and figured it out that it’s a permission issue. Let me tell you one thing very confidently those 9 out of 10 cases are based on permissions issue only.

So how to resolve this? Let me guide you step by step so that there would be no confusion.

Resolution:-

1)   Go to any of your SharePoint 2010 Server

2)   Start

3)   All programs

4)   SharePoint 2010 products

5)   SharePoint 2010 management Shell

6)   Make sure you run this console as “Administrator”

7)   Execute the following commands

$webApp = Get-SPWebApplication "WebApplication URL"

$webApp.GrantAccessToProcessIdentity("Excel Service Account Name")

What you need to change in this –

Web application URL - Please enter the web application URL where you are facing the problem.

Note: this is not a site collection URL but root URL underneath your site exist.

Example: http://sharepointgalaxy.com/sites/sharepoint2010

If you look at the above URL then here is the isolation:

http://sharepointgalaxy – web application URL

/sites – wildcard variable

/sharepoint2010- site collection name

Second change you need to do inside the PowerShell command is:

Excel service account name – this should be in the format domain name/excelserviceaccname

Now the question is – how to find out this excel service account name?

1)   Central Administration

2)   Security

3)   Configure service accounts

4)   Click on the dropdown

5)   Select the excel service account which is running the excel service application

That’s it- you are done! In case of any queries/questions then please let me know. I would be more than happy to help you as well as resolves your issues, Thank you.
