SharePoint 2010 User profile sync connection creation failed: "Unable to process Create message"

Today I was helping one of my customer with creating the UPS sync connection on SharePoint 2010 environment and ran into the below errors, after going through all the dramas I was able to found the cause and fix it. Thought of sharing it with all:

SharePoint Errors:

ERROR
Unable to process Create message

In the Application event log:

Source: Forefront Identity Manager
Event ID: 3
Microsoft.ResourceManagement: System.InvalidOperationException: Retrieve schema failed
at Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Utilities.ExceptionManager.ThrowException(Exception exception)
at Microsoft.ResourceManagement.ActionProcessor.SyncConfigActionProcessor.Create(String typeName, IList`1 createParameters, Guid creator, Guid cause)

at Microsoft.ResourceManagement.WebServices.RequestDispatcher.DispatchRequest[ResponseBodyType](RequestType request)
at Microsoft.ResourceManagement.WebServices.ResourceManagementService.Create(Message request)

Resolution:

1. Found that the domain FQDN is different than the NetBIOS name,  while creating the sync connection ( Under the Forest Name column) used the NetBIOS name of the domain instead of the FQDN.

2. Even after using the NetBIOS name we were running into the same error .  Checked the OU containers we were selecting in the sync connection and found that those containers doesn't have any users objects.

3. Selected the OU container which has user objects and we were able to successfully create a sync connection!!!

Summary:

If you run into this issue ensure to check the following:

1. Is the domain FQDN is different than NetBIOS? If yes, use the NetBIOS name while creating the connection.
2. Verify the OU has user objects ( I am sure we wouldn't select the OU which doesn't have any users, but worth double checking it)

"There's a configuration problem preventing us from getting your document. If possible, try opening this document in Microsoft Word." Office WebApp Error

Problem: When Opening a word document I get the following error when Office Web Apps tries to render the document " There's a configuration problem preventing us from getting your document. If possible, try opening this document in Microsoft Word.

"Sorry, Word Web App can't open this ... document because the service is busy." Office WebApp

Problem: Intermitten requests are not returning the pdf/word documents.  Most requests are working and occasionally 1 request doesn't work.  Every 4th request tries to get the pdf to display on Office Web Apps for a few minutes without any error message and then stops trying and displays the message "Sorry, Word Web App can't open this ... document because the service is busy." Initial Hypothesis: Originally I thought it was only happening to pdfs but it is happening to word and pdf documents (I don't have excel docs in my system).  My monitoring software SolarWinds is badly configured on my OWA servers as the monitor is showing green, drining into the servers monitoring the 2 application monitors are failing.  The server should go amber if either of the 2 applications fail and in turn red after 5 minutes.  At this point I notice that I can't log onto my 4 OWA/WCA server.  Web request are not being returned.  I look at my KEMP load balancer and it says al
