• Navigate to Site Settings >> People and Groups. Now your browser URL should be something like: "http://SHAREPOINT-SITE.com/_layouts/15/start.aspx#/_layouts/15/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=22". Just replace the value for "MembershipGroupId" to "0" to get "All People" view which lists all users of the site (which is nothing but "User Information List").
• From here, Get the GUIDs of your User Information List and view. Here is How to Get the GUID of SharePoint list or View.
• Replace "List GUID" and "View GUID" of yours in this URL and copy-paste it in the browser:

• Navigate to the above URL, it should open the query, launch Microsoft Excel and Import all users from User Information List to Excel!

• Make sure SQL Server is running on a service account which is granted with local administrator access rights! (Not running on accounts such as: local service, network service!)
  If so, update the Log On account of SQL Server Service in your database server.
  
• Check TCP/IP and Named Pipes protocols are enabled in SQL Server. 
• Check your Firewall. Turn it off for time being. Check your event logs for any antivirus related blocks.  
• Make sure your setup account (or the account you are currently logged in and running the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard) is granted with : dbcreator, securityadmin and sysadmin access rights in SQL Server.
• Check the application pool identity for "SharePoint central administration" site! It should be your Farm account and not  "network service"
• Do not use your service account username has with more than 20 characters (SharePoint uses the pre-windows 2000 username)
• If all fails, Run PSConfig command line, and then Try running the Products configuration Wizard GUI again!
  psconfig -cmd configdb <-create/connect> -server <db-servername> -database <database name> -user <service-account-username> -password <password> -admincontentdatabase <content database name>
• Delete the config database in Database Server. Delete the Central admin site and App Pool in IIS. and try running the wizard again.

1. While the team actively works with a document in the document library Active Docs, it has the status "Work in progress". As soon as the job is done the status is set to Completed.
2. The workflow triggers and converts this Word document to PDF.
3. When the PDF file has been created, the workflow moves the original Word document to Document Sources library. Only selected team members (such as managers, etc) have access to this document library.
4. As a result, only the PDF file remains in the original document library, so everyone can view and share this document. This way, the document can be opened easily (also on any mobile device), and at the same time no deliberate or inadvertent changes can be made.
