Hi,
i'm trying to get rid of the Site Content link on the left hand side of the screen (default 2013 homepage). Do I need SP Designer 2013 to do this? Anyone have any experience with this. The Site Content link shows libraries that we do not want our users to see. Thanks for any help!
I have a main publishing site and 5 sub sites, and I define a metadata navigation tree as shown below.
But all the users that have the “Read permission” level will not be able to see this tree as shown below, while “Contributors” can see it.
But the problem is that when I access the “Read permission” level to add the needed permission,, I cannot find any single permission which is related to view a metadata navigation tree.
Can anyone advice?.

In the last step during running this script (last pat $rbss.Enable() ):
$cdb = Get-SPContentDatabase My_WSS_Content
$rbss = $cdb.RemoteBlobStorageSettings
$rbss.Installed()
$rbss.Enable()
Exception calling "Enable" with "0" argument(s): "SQL remote blob storage must
be installed on each web front end server and on the content database before
it may be used."
At line:1 char:1

$rbss.Installed() -> give me value True ... I don't have more servers ( except 2xSQL and OWA) .. but regarding instrukction on these servers RBS shouln't be install at all.
Please help me.

I'm using SharePoint 2013 and SQL Server 2012. I am having problem getting the External Content List to display the contents of a SQL Server table.
I followed the instructions at this page
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219584.aspx
"Deploy a Business Connectivity Services on-premises solution in SharePoint 2013"
So I created a Secure Store App, Generated a Key, used SharePoint Designer to create an External Content type, set owners for Secure Store, BCS, set credentials for Secure Store Target Application.
Created a List of the External Content Type. When I browse to the List page, I get this error
The settings for the connection are
Access Provider: SqlServer
Authentication mode: Impersonate Custom Identity
Database Server: My server
Initial Database Name: My db
Integrated Security: left blank
Secure Store Target Application Id: My Sec Store App ID
Connection Pooling: Checked
Secondary Secure Store Target Application Id: left blank
Secure Store Implementation: The name of the Sec Store App.
I Googled for the Render error and nothing comes up.
I have a claims-based web application that is accessed by two groups of users -- a group of anonymous users and a group of users from an AD domain who manage and create the content in the site.
I have extended the web application into the Internet zone (http://www.example.com). Anonymous users access this zone while the Windows users access the default zone (http://default). Originally I had the Internet zone allow only anonymous authentication (i.e. no authenticated users can access the Internet zone) and the default zone allows only Windows authentication. From an authentication perspective, this works. Anonymous users hit http://www.example.com and access the site anonymously, and Windows users hit http://default and are challenged for their credentials (http://default is in the local Intranet zone so as to pass the logged in user's credentials automatically).
However, with this configuration, Search does not work for anonymous users. All their searches return no results. Eric Shupps describes this behaviour in his post,SharePoint 2010 Anonymous Search Results. The solution is to enable anonymous access in the Default zone. By enabling anonymous access in the Default zone (which includes defining the SPWebApplication.ZonePolicies AnonymousPolicy to be DenyWrite), anonymous users can now see search results.
With this configuration however, we now have the issue where internal users access http://default and log in anonymously. Occasionally reloading the page will log the user in and appending /_windows/default.aspx to the URL will force a Windows authentication. This is not desirable, the AD users should always be forced to log in and should never access the default zone anonymously.
Is there a way to force this? Keeping in mind that disabling anonymous or setting the Default zone's AnonymousPolicy to DenyAll also stops search results from appearing for anonymous users.
I have also tried creating a second extension into the Intranet zone (http://intranet) that allows only Windows authentication to be used by the AD users. The default zone allows anonymous and Windows authentication (the Default zone URL http://default is used for indexing) but blocking anonymous in the Intranet zone results in search breaking for anonymous users in the Internet zone as well.
Maybe I'm missing something?
Farm configuration:
SharePoint Server 2013 Standard Edition, with March PU (build 15.0.4481.1005)
This issue can be reproduced with the following farm topologies: single server (SP/SQL on one server), 3 server farm (WFE, APP, SQL), 5 server farm (2 WFE, 2 APP, 1 SQL)
One web application in the farm
Services: Search, Metadata, State, Session State, Distributed Cache
I currently have a farm with 4 WFE and 2 Application servers
I has been getting these random 404 errors and even the occasional IIS 7 Welcome Page
After looking for a while and a not getting a quick answer from MS, we decided to look at RMS and came
across this in a blog
We ran this PS command and saw a non WFE listed as avaiable
Get-SPWebApplication | Get-SPRequestManagementSettings | Get-SPRoutingMachineInfo –Availability Available
We used the follwoing commands to make the non WFE unavailable and it seems to have fixed the 404 and various page load issues
$web=Get-SPWebApplication -Identity <URL of web application>$rm=Get-SPRequestManagementSettings -Identity $web
$m=Get-SPRoutingMachineInfo -RequestManagementSettings $rm -Name <MachineName>
Set-SPRoutingMachineInfo -Identity $m -Availability Unavailable
Does anyone know how a non wfe can get in there and how to remove it?
Is this a well know issue and is this the proper way to deal with this error?
I still have many event log errors for Event ID 8315, 8316, 8317 & 8318 which are for ping not available for each server, it seems to have no impact

I would like to pull msExchExtensionCustomAttribute1 from Active Directory and synchronize it with the User Profile service. But for some reason it doesn't show up in the dropdown when I try to add the property. It is a multi-value field so I changed the attribute type to multi-value, which changes the available list of AD attributes to sync with, butmsExchExtensionCustomAttribute1 doesn't show up. Any help? Why is it different fromotherMobile, which is also a multi-value field?
Thanks!
I have followed the directions to configure an environment for SharePoint apps. All went well until I downloaded app and clicked on it where I then get a certificate error.
I trying to resolve my problem, I noticed that the directions tell you plan and buy an app domain (I.e. myspapps.com) and to get a wildcard SSL cerificate and I did (I.e. *.myspapps.com), but the instructions never have you do anything with certificate.
Where is the certificate installed (I assume IIS 7) and where does one set the "binding" for the certificate?
TIA
Hi
We have a SharePoint farm with one web application without host header on port 80 and DNS entry (http://sharepoint.company.com) pointing to the wfe server.
We are planning to have a external SharePoint site for customers and suppliers. After reading interwebz about creating external web application using forms based authentication i am having few queries.
I have decided to create a new web application with following options
can we have mix non host header internal web app and host header external web app without any issues?
can i achieve the above with creating a non host header web app on a different port but using AAM with SSL url to point to this web app or extending the web app.
do you see any other issues i may face?
thanks

I am in process of upgrading the internet facing site using "Publishing Site with Workflow" template in MOSS 2007 to SP2013. As perthis MSDN article, there are three Site Collection templates in SP2013:
Can someone please explain what is the difference between "Publishing Portal" and "Publishing site with workflow" site collection templates, and what are the business scenario, in which each of this template will be used?
Thanks, DS
Confirmed!
Hello! I've searched other threads about the issue of 'Failed to create sample data' at step 8 of the configuration wizard. Many came forward to say "share the Analytics_GUID" folder with the admin account on the server.
I've looked in the folder path Program Files > Windows Sharepoint Service > 15.0 > Data
There is no Analytics_(lots of numbers here), and thus nothing for me to share. What step did I miss in the installation process?
I'm running the Sharepoint 2013 Products and Technology Configuration Wizard and its failing after step 7/8 giving me the following error:
One or more configuration settings failed.
Failed to create sample data.
An exception of type System.NullReferenceException was thrown. Additional exception information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
And here is the detail in the event log,
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPEvaluatorModeProvisioner.IsProvisioned() at Microsoft.Office.Server.EvaluatorModeProvisioning.SharedEvaluatorModeProvisioner.IsProvisioned() at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPEvaluatorModeProvisioner.Provision() at Microsoft.Office.Server.EvaluatorModeProvisioning.SharedEvaluatorModeProvisioner.Provision() at Microsoft.SharePoint.PostSetupConfiguration.EvalModeProvisionTask.EvalProvision() at Microsoft.SharePoint.PostSetupConfiguration.EvalModeProvisionTask.Run() at Microsoft.SharePoint.PostSetupConfiguration.TaskThread.ExecuteTask()
Please help... thanks in advance.............
Hello,
One of our client is seeking to merge the current SharePoint 2013 environment with another SharePoint 2013 environment that they possess.
I would appreciate if someone can guide or direct us to the right direction (steps here or point towards any documentation etc.).
We have custom solutions deployed to our current SharePoint 2013 environment.
Following are the two scenarios I am looking forward to:
Note: The migration that they might choose can be on application level or the physical servers, currently we do not know.
Thank you and
Regards

Hello - Might be a silly question but thought I would confirm with experts here -
In a SharePoint Farm - WFE, Application Server and Database Server - each of these tiers will talk to the other two - right?
Thanks.
