Server Execution Failed (Exception from Hresult: 0X80080005 (Co_E_Server_Exec_Failure))

How to overcome 80080005 Server execution failed error in io.filesystemwatcher

As I suspected, you are creating a lot of COM objects, but never release them from memory when you are done with them.
Eventually, this will create errors from running out of memory resources.

I didn't have time to look into what the functions actually do however, but for the 'cleaning-up' code, I suggest you add all of the below to the end of the functions.

Function Report1:

End the code by quitting Excel end releasing the uses COM objects from memory.

$Excel.Quit()
$null = [System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($ExcelWorkSheet)
$null = [System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($ExcelWorkBook)
$null = System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($Excel)
[System.GC]::Collect()
[System.GC]::WaitForPendingFinalizers()

Function Excel2PPT:

$Excel.Quit()
$objPPT.Quit()
$null = [System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($ExcelWorkSheet)
$null = [System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($ExcelWorkBook)
$null = System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($Excel)
$null = System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($pp1)
$null = System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($objPPT)
[System.GC]::Collect()
[System.GC]::WaitForPendingFinalizers()

Function PicInsertPPT:

$objPPT.Quit()
$null = System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($pp1)
$null = System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($objPPT)
[System.GC]::Collect()
[System.GC]::WaitForPendingFinalizers()

Function TextReplace:

$ppo.Quit()
$null = System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($presentation)
$null = System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($ppo)
[System.GC]::Collect()
[System.GC]::WaitForPendingFinalizers()

You could have more instances in the remainder of your script where COM objects are used. Always make sure to not let them linger in memory when no longer needed to avoid errors because of memory leaks.

Accessing Outlook COM object results in Error 0x80080005 CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE

It is either because the out-of-proc object (Outlook) crashed and the COM proxy in your address process can no longer talk to it or because the security contexts are different.

How can I resolve exception: Retrieving the COM class factory...failed...80080005 Server Execution failed from Codesoft?

Solved. I was using the 2012 version of the API lppanet.dll in my build. That's why it worked on 2012 and not other versions (although the inconsistent operation on 2018 is odd). Using a higher level version works. I was thrown off by only having a dev license on 2012 (thinking that's the version that had been used previously, when it wasn't), and not being aware that it had been updated and wasn't forward compatible.

80080005 Server execution failed when using Word Automation

Is it possible to perform office automation without having Microsoft Office installed on the server?

No, it is not possible. Instead, you may consider using the Open XML SDK if you deal with open XML documents only. Otherwise, you may consider using any third-party components designed for the server-side execution, for example, Aspose.

The Considerations for server-side Automation of Office article states the following:

All current versions of Microsoft Office were designed, tested, and configured to run as end-user products on a client workstation. They assume an interactive desktop and user profile. They do not provide the level of reentrancy or security that is necessary to meet the needs of server-side components that are designed to run unattended.

Microsoft does not currently recommend, and does not support, Automation of Microsoft Office applications from any unattended, non-interactive client application or component (including ASP, ASP.NET, DCOM, and NT Services), because Office may exhibit unstable behavior and/or deadlock when Office is run in this environment.

If you are building a solution that runs in a server-side context, you should try to use components that have been made safe for unattended execution. Or, you should try to find alternatives that allow at least part of the code to run client-side. If you use an Office application from a server-side solution, the application will lack many of the necessary capabilities to run successfully. Additionally, you will be taking risks with the stability of your overall solution.

Outlook VSTO Add-in - Load Error 80080005

Do not create a new instance of the Outlook.Application object (it will be crippled by the security patch anyway) - you get that object for free: use Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.
