The publish operation could not be completed. It cannot be determined if the form template was successfully published... while publishing InfoPath form to Sharepoint
When you are trying to publish Infopath form to Sharepoint forms library, you might get the below error messages.
"The publish operation could not be completed. It cannot be determined if the form template was successfully published. Try publishing the template again, or change the list settings to use the default SharePoint form."
"InfoPath cannot connect to the server. The server may be offline, your computer might not be connected to the network, or InfoPath Forms Services 2010 might not be enabled on the server. To fix this problem, start by checking your network connection, and then try again."
The above error message is a very generic error message. It might also occur due to execution time out and other reasons.To understand the issue better we captured the ULS logs and found the below error messages.

Are you just getting the below error message while publishing the InfoPath form?
"The publish operation could not be completed. It cannot be determined if the form template was successfully published. Try publishing the template again, or change the list settings to use the default SharePoint form."
"InfoPath cannot connect to the server. The server may be offline, your computer might not be connected to the network, or InfoPath Forms Services 2010 might not be enabled on the server. To fix this problem, start by checking your network connection, and then try again." - Anonymous
