You have successfully implemented CRM servers and expect your Sandbox service to execute plugins in Isolation mode; however, they fail with an error:
ERROR:
The plug-in execution failed because no Sandbox Hosts are currently available. Please check that you have a Sandbox server configured and that it is running. System.ServiceModel.EndpointNotFoundException: Microsoft Dynamics CRM has experienced an error. Reference number for administrators or support: #357E9BEE
Possible Causes:
- CRM Sandbox service is not running
- CRM Sandbox ports are unavailable on the sandbox server
- CRM Sandbox service is missing SPN's
- CRM Sandbox is remote and the CRM Services cannot be reached
Potential Solutions:
- Ensure Sandbox services are running on each Full CRM 2011 Server.
NOTE: Sandbox services are not required to be on a CRM Full serve role, but by using this option the local CRM platform and Async service will use the local sandbox instead of using one over the network. - If you are hosting the sandbox service along with one of the IIS dependent server roles , ensure you have TCP port 808 listed within IIS manager bindings for net.tcp.

Ref- For more port information: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh699823.aspx - Check if you have the required SPN’s register against the Domain account used to run the Sandbox account.
NOTE: It is best practice to have least privileged account run the Sandbox service. Example:
MSCRMsandboxservice/WebServerName
MSCRMsandboxservice/WebServerName.Domain.com
