In our My Sites - Followed Sites page we are able to Stop Following sites listed. When we click the "Stop Following" link no client side error is displayed, no error shows in the ULS log, and the browser never appears to navigate anywhere. I suspect a jQuery or JavaScript call is failing, but not sure how or why.

Hi All,

While configuring AD FS claims based authentication can I use  signinurl as https://mmmmm/adfs/ls or I must use https://adfsservername/adfs/ls

Thanks

As we found , that There is  a manual migration required for  a very old STS 1.0 web  to sharepoint 2013 , we were looking at created users in bulk using any tool or scripts.

is it possible that we can create users in Active drectory first and then add or invite and assign groups./roles in sharepoint 2013?

Regards

Dear helpful readers,

we actually succeeded in setting up ADFS to log onto our sharepoint via Shibboleth, deliver a few attributes and have them show up in your SP's website - including eMail and userPrincipalName.

Now we're trying to give these logged-on users special permissions for a Site Collection. Doesn't work though both Shibboleth and ADFS/Sharepoint do access the same AD tree and therefor userPrincipalName is an unique identifier.

Basic question: Is this possible at all? If I log onto Sharepoint with using ADFS only (without reaching out towards Shibboleth) these users do get their permissions and everything seems fine. It looks as if Sharepoint won't connect that uPN to the matching user in AD.

Thanks for listening.

Hi,

Site columns page of subsites on my production farm loads very long. It takes not less than 3 minutes to load it. It is happening for all subsites, whereas Site columns page of the site collection works well.

Also it is impossible to open Site Columns of any subsites using SPD (I am getting: "An error occurred while trying to fetch data from your SharePoint site").

The following PowerShell cmdlet for my subsite runs very fast:

$web.AvailableFields.SchemaXml | Out-File c:\temp\fields.txt

In the ULS I can see a lot of stings (more than 3000) like:

[Forced due to logging gap, cached @ 05/29/2013 08:20:43.03, Original Level: Verbose] SQL connection time: 0.0594349281822131

[Forced due to logging gap, Original Level: VerboseEx] Reverting to process identity

And right before loading completes I can see that some resources were not disposed during the request:

I have tried a lot of different things, but can't make it work for about a week already.

Does anybody have any ideas what can be cause of this issue or what can I try for troubleshooting?

Every suggestion is very appreciated as I ran out of ideas.

UPDATE1: Even subsites which have no site columns misbehave. Also, it seems that every another call to Site Columns page takes longer and longer.

Hello,

Right now I'm testing the new Sharepoint 2013. So far I've experienced some weird behavior which isn't fixed by the updates from March and April which I both installed. Now to my problem.

When you create a new App "Document Library" in our main site (which is a team site and I haven't tested it on any other site type) and you stop the inheritation of permissions on this site, give permissions to someone, remove that again and start inheriting the permissions from the main site again he still can view the document library. He can't see items in the Document Library but the link itself doesn't dissappear anymore. It's also still visible in the Site Contents Link.

Is this expected behavior? If not what could be the possible cause of this behavior?

I've been struggling with SharePoint Store last 2 weeks and I'm unable to get it working. I've configured the whole 2013 without problem and this is driving me nuts.

Environment is 1 server, including the SQL. It's installed directly as full instalation, version 15.0.4481.1005, App management service and subscription service are running as they should be, they've been recreated from scratch following the guides on MS and Chris Whiteheads one. Every single check says that they are ok, up and running. I've wiped out the web app with host headers and now I'm using the standard one, without HH. Domain for apps is configured as per MS advice, and it's subdomain. I can install app to catalog and deploy them wherever I want.

The issue is when I click on SharePoint Store - i get the message: "Sorry,we are not able to connect to Store, please try again later." (it's not the exact one). the ULS shows this:

Sending Request to Office.com with the followingURL:?lc=cs%2DCZ&type=3&build=15%2E0%2E4420%2E1017&av=OSU150&origin=EC101785291&corr=%7B89bc169c%2Db001%2D3005%2Dd523%2D6fec28629aa2%7D

Maybe marketplace settings are not setup. Exception details: System.UriFormatException: Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined.

Response from office.com was null or its HTTP status code was not 'OK'.

An exception was thrown while running task 'GetOfficeMarkets'. Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: Omlouváme se, ale nemůžeme se připojit k SharePoint Store. Zkuste to za chvilku znovu.

 at Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.StorefrontBase.TaskGetOfficeMarkets()

 at Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.StorefrontBase.TryRunTask(TryGetOutput taskMethod)

I've just can't find the solution. Everything else is working, including the User Profile service...

I created a new SharePoint 2013 farm and set up user profile service and crawled our Active Directory. What I have found is that for all the users in this environment, their My Tasks work...e.g. if I have a task assigned to me in a site collection it'll show up in their "My Task" page. For one user...and it happens to be me...I get "Looking for your tasks for the first time..." (with a whirling icon) and nothing shows up.

Any suggestions on why this might not work?

Hello,

I have an issue with Get-SPSite which seems to be returning duplicate site instances.

Get-SPWebApplication http://contoso.com | Get-SPSite | ft Url,Id

Url                                     ID
---                                     --
http://contoso.com   1bb3a7b4-a59d-4257-8cf9-d74fab04ff9e
http://contoso.com   1bb3a7b4-a59d-4257-8cf9-d74fab04ff9e
http://contoso.com   1bb3a7b4-a59d-4257-8cf9-d74fab04ff9e

As seen in the example, I perform a Get-SPWebApplication, pipe that into Get-SPSite and format a table displaying the URL and ID of the site. This gives me three exactly equal results, I have no idea why. I can access the site wihout issue, in Central Admin it is listed only once. I thought perhaps it was also displaying deleted sites, but Get-SPDeleteSite returns only one (different) site instance.

So what could be causing these duplicates and how can I fix this?

Hey all,

I raise the white flag.  I am working towards a 3 tierd SharePoint 2013 Farm (Development Farm) that is behind an F5 Load Balancer.  Initially, i had the WFE and Application servers in the F5 Pool (SQL Server is not behind F5) so both were accepting web requests, all was working perfectly.  I removed the application server from the pool, to try and achieve a 3 tier structure, but what i have achieved instead is, breaking My Sites.  The "About me" link has changed to"My Settings" and the Sites, Sky Drive, and Newsfeed link are gone.  If i add the application server back into the pool, everything returns to expected operation.  Also, i have a number of crawl errors all related to the inabiltiy to crawl objects in the My Sites Web Application i created.  (The SharePoint item being crawled returned an error when attempting to download the item.)

There is a communication error when i move that server.... But i don't know what at this point.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks all.

On running the Workflow Manager Configuration Wizard on our new SharePoint 2013 site, it fails at the stage "Add host to Service Bus farm". I am running as domain admin and have attempted this multiple times but it keeps failing on this part.

Error log gives this: "[Error] [29/05/2013 11:34:25]: System.Management.Automation.CmdletInvocationException: Starting service Service Bus Message Broker failed: Time out has expired and the operation has not been completed. ---> Microsoft.ServiceBus.Commands.Common.Exceptions.OperationFailedException: Starting service Service Bus Message Broker failed: Time out has expired and the operation has not been completed."

Anybody know the solution to this?

Thanks

We just recently implemented SharePoint 2013 Enterprise in our development environment.

When working with permissions we decided to add all of our domain users with Read permissions to the initial user portal and all departmental subsites of that portal.

We added some users directly to the Approvers group initially to let them start looking around.

Now on removing those from the Approvers group they do get access denied messages throughout the site and subsites.

We created an Active Directory Security group to house all of the domain users.  These users having issues are already members of this group.

Other group members who have never been assigned permissions directly are working as expected.

I've restarted the WFE server to see if it was a caching issue to no avail.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hi everyone,

We are planning to upgrade WSS 3.0 to Sharepoint Foundation 2013. The current plan is to upgrade to Sharepoint Foundation 2010, then 2013 at the same time. Do you think this is a good idea? We have around 16GB worth of data. Could you list some pros and cons? Thank you in advanced for the help!

Hello everybody,

we just migrated a SharePoint Services 3.0 installation to SharePoint Foundation 2013 (going over 2010) and see the following symptom:

- There is an AD security group that is a member of the SharePoint "site visitors".

- We create a new AD user account and put it into that AD group.

- However, logging on to the SharePoint site as that new user (NTLM ist used) shows only the message that the site had not been shared with that user.

- Putting the AD user directly into the SharePoint group works. However, we would like to keep the AD group as the means to give users access to the site.

What is going wrong here please?

Best Regards, Stefan Falk

can someone recommend some best practice to manage so many SharePoint 2013 databases?

Thanks,

I am trying to setup FBA in Sharepoint 2013 using LDAP authentication method. i followed all the steps in 

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee806890.aspx . But everytime i edit central admin it throws an error. I read somewhere that editing web.config file for CA is optional. Is it true in SP 2013 too? 

Also only changing web.config file would do. Do i have to set up something in database like done in this blog

http://blogs.visigo.com/chriscoulson/configuring-forms-based-authentication-in-sharepoint-2013-part-1-creating-the-membership-database/

Also is there anything that has to be done from LDAP provider too?

Hi,

We are trying to customize SharePoint 2013 Discussion Board app and are unable to modify existing Flat, Subject, and Threaded views or create new views.  Following are the error messages we are getting:

*** Error message when creating new views based on view types Subject, Flat, or Threaded:

TypeError: Unable to get value of the property '0': object is null or undefined

Note that when creating the view no options are available (only option to name and make default are available).  The view created after display of this error message does not have any Columns, Sort, Filter or other properties defined.  Manually defining these properties does not make the view function as desired (Flat view is not flat).

*** Error message when editing existing default views Subject, Flat, or Threaded:

Cannot complete this action.

Please try again.

Troubleshoot issues with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation.

Note that this is nothing to troubleshoot or error number provided.  The URL shows /_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?CS=65001.  Also, the edit screen does not show any view property to change.

Note that both ability to edit existing views and create new views work in SharePoint 2010.  This issue is with SharePoint 2013.  Please guide to resolve this.  View in other apps can be edited.  This issue is only with the Discussion Board app. 

-Thanks, Maqsood.

per this doc, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219437.aspx,

Although Office Web Apps Server requires dedicated servers that runno other server applications, you can install Office Web Apps Server on virtual machine instances instead.

what do Other Server Applications mean exactly?

Do I need a VM just installed with OWP? can I install other ASP.Net APp such as MS Dynamics CRM on the OWP server?

Thanks,

Help! I followed the following guidelines to create our SharePoint 2013 service accounts:

And I followed this article as well:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263445(v=office.15).aspx

However, none of my service  app pools, or web app pools will work under any accountbut the Farm account. If I navigate to Security-->Configure service accounts and select an account other than the Farm account for my service or web app pools, then the server returns a "service is unavailable" error and the the app pool stops in IIS. 

I have registered all the accounts, I double -checked the accounts in AD, but nothing works. So currently I have everything running under the Farm account, and of course, the health analyzer is complaining. I have verified everything I know of so far and i'm not sure what the problem is at this point. 

Thank you for any suggestion you may have!
