Sorry, the operation failed because another operation was updating WOPI bindings at the same time

Configuring SharePoint 2013 for Office Web Apps. While trying to configure the bindings, I would get the following error: "Sorry, the operation failed because another operation was updating WOPI bindings at the same time" This happened any time I tried to modify the bindings, such as Remove-SPWOPIBinding -all:$true. Initially I tried rebuilding the OWA server based on this page: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/office_web_apps_server_2013_support_blog/2013/12/20/office-web-apps-2013-rebuild-your-farm-in-a-few-easy-steps/ Unfortunately that didn't work. The resolution was to clear the Config cache across the SharePoint farm: http://alen.malhasoglu.com/2012/01/03/updatedconcurrencyexception-on-sharepoint/ Thanks to Alen Malhasoglu for that one :)
