Custom Discussion board alerts stopped working in SharePoint 2013 - sharepoint

We had Custom Discussion board alerts on 4 servers SharePoint 2013 farm working until I changed something in the AlertHandler : IAlertNotifyHandler class
I tried debugging by attaching to the timer service but nothing works.
Anyone has a way to debug or figure out why there are no alert emails from Discussion boards but there are from other lists. (Even twice).
Thanks in advance

Turns out the farm had an invalid server registered with it.
After removing the server from the farm, custom alerts started showing up in the inbox.

I made it on a client pc having rights of administrator.I have tried quite a few thing by changing iis settings but this problem is not getting solved.Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Do you have kerberos enabled in this environment? If it's not configured correctly, this behavior can happen. You might check your logs to see if there is any additional information.

Trying to delete a site that has been created via a template issue

Once again another issue
I am trying to delete a site that i have created via a template and i am running in to
No available sandboxed code execution server could be found.
The template only contains a few columns programatically created along with some content types.
The CT's are also added to lists.
Anyone got any ideas?
I will continue to go through the ULS logs and hope someone saves me
Cheers

If you have empty receivers in your features and your solution is a SANDBOX one you should either switch it to Farm solution or check if your user code host service is running. Go to Services and check the "SharePoint 2010 User Code Host". Also check the "Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Sandboxed Code Service" service in the /_admin/Server.aspx It has to be running to support sandbox solutions.

What is causing calls to sharepoint server vti_bin\sites.asmx

We are looking at logs on our sharepoint and see a call to this web service from several PC's.
The calls apprear very regular every 5 mins, when the PC is on.
Anyone know what is causing this?
Edit
The agent in the iis log is: Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.1;+HO32602;+HO32600;+HO32501;+.NET+CLR+1.1.4322;+.NET+CLR+2.0.50727)
In addition to the above (which is likely) it could be one of the desktop search products that MS has created.
Maybe:
Office
Workspace/Groove sync
Some custom client application
SharePoint Designer
Browser
Whats the user agent reported in the logs?

Enable Session state in sharePoint 2010

I setup a test box computer with server 2008 (standard edition, not R2 and not hyper-v editing). I then installed SharePoint 2010. I was amazed how easy the whole setup went (the prerequisites setup on the SharePoint disk made this process oh so easy – great install system). Really this was just so easy.
This test box is being used for testing Access web services. I am able to well publish access applications to this test server and Access applications publish and run just fine on the web SharePoint site through an web browser.
However, the only thing that does not work is when I launch a Access report. The error message I get back is
This report failed to load because session state is not turned on.
Here is a screen shot:
I can’t seem to find the setting anywhere to turn session state on. Any hints or links on how to enable session state in SharePoint 2010 would be most appreciated.
On Todds blog you can find a post which explains how to turn on session state in SharePoint 2010.
Here is the solution:
http://geekdeck.com/sharepoint-2010-this-report-failed-to-load-because-session-state-is-not-turned-on/
Probably not in SharePoint head over to the IIS configuration and see whether session state is enabled there. I am not aware of anything in the SharePoint forms (I did set up 2010 on the weekend) that indicates session state. And as session state on farms is an administrator action (state server etc.), maybe they simply did not activate it?;)

Intermittent Issues with Excel Services web parts

We have a brand new SharePoint 2007 Intranet farm running on new 64-bit hardware with lots of processor and memory. We are using Kerberos for security and have carefully followed all the written guidance from Microsoft and blogs to configuring Kerberos and Excel Services correctly. Generally everything is running great.
Currently we can add Excel Web Access web parts on SharePoint team site pages and connect them up to SQL 2005 Analysis Cubes for use with doing Pivot Tables, Graphs, etc... As part of this, we have created a test dashboard page that has six of these web parts that display upon page load. However we have noticed that we get intermittent errors when a user does things like refresh the connection or workbook, or change the filter on PivotTables. The user gets a generic error messages such as "An error has occurred. Please contact an administrator." and then their session in Excel Services is hosed up. They have to shut down IE and come back to the site in order to interact successfully with the Excel web parts again.
I have looked at the logs but just see generic messages like "EcsSoapException: An error has occurred." that don't give me something that I can really act on. Also I have checked the application event logs but didn't find anything relevant.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?
It turns out this is a bug with Kerberos in Windows 2008. Microsoft has just released a hotfix for this (see link below). The hotfix completely resolved all my issues.
