We don't know what happened, but something went wrong. Could you please try that again?

I created a new web application and site collection on SharePoint 2013 Enterprise. Everything worked great until the users tried to open Excel documents.

 They were challenged with and Excel Services error: We don't know what happened, but something went wrong. Could you please try that again?

 The issue was that the document library was configured to open documents in the browser as it's default behavior. I changed it to Client Application and all was working as expected.

Go into Site Contents click the three dotted menu then Settings.
Go to Advanced Settings:

Select Open in the client application:
If you are truly trying to get Excel Services to handle the file, you will need to configure this as a trusted site and perhaps modify the permissions on the Temp directory to allow the application pool account to modify.

ADMT fails to migrate SID History

If you ever get the error:
ERR2:7111 Failed to add sid history for auser to auser. RC=1378 

Look on the source domain for membership in a domain localgroup called DOMAIN$$$ where "DOMAIN" is equal to the NetBIOS name of your domain.  Remove the source account from that group and migrate again.

Robocopy Error 31 A device attached to the system is not functioning

I was migrating Windows file shares to NetApp CIFS shares using Robocopy. I was unable to copy owner information or NTFS Security (/COPY:DATSOU) without getting this Error:

ERROR 31 (0x0000001F) Copying NTFS Security to Destination Directory F:\PATH
A device attached to the system is not functioning.

I thought it may be the zone information on may of these files. I used the Sysintenals Streams utility to remove that information. It did not help.

In the end, I was forced to copy without NTFS information (/COPY:DATU)

When I viewed the properties of any share, folder, or file, the length of time to enumerate and display the permissions was exceedingly slow. I tried disabling anti-virus, etc. In the end, I had to manually re-create the permissions after the initial data copy. File ownership information was lost.

UPDATE: I ran a CHKDSK /F and following a reboot this robocopy functioned fine.
