Hi there!

We had some problems with Office Web Apps 2013 not working with Lync, and the status of OWA was unhealty so we decided to install some updates for OWA.

We have downloaded November 2013 update for OWA.

We found out a guide for putting updates on OWA and done this steps:

* Remove-OfficeWebAppsMachine
* Installed the november update
* Restarted OWA server
* ran: New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalUrl https://owasrv.domain.local -ExternalURLhttps://owasrv.domain.local -CertificateName "certname" -AllowHttp  -EditingEnabled
* Restart-Service WACSM
- checked in IIS in the bindings if the site useses the correct certificate

Then we went on Sharepoint 2013 and ran some commands:

* Remove-SPWOPIBinding –All:$true
* New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName owasrv.domain.local
* Set-SPWOPIZone –zone “external-https”

Now here are the funny things:
* Excel word app on Sharepoint 2013 works
* Word APP not working (screenshot)
* Lync 2013 powerpoint still not working (screenshot)
* status of OWA is healthy

hi guys,

     I have installed SharePoint 2013 in windows 2012. This is in another domain. And i have installed exchange server in another domain. I need to configure SharePoint server to with communicate with Exchange server. I have configured SharePoint server with the help of this link.

http://blogs.technet.com/b/mspfe/archive/2013/04/04/new-age-collaboration-with-exchange-2013-and-sharepoint-2013-part-2.aspx

But according to link i would have been asked certificate warning or it would shown OWA link. But when i enter the url nothing displays. Please guide me how to configure for SharePoint server to with communicate with Exchange server.

Thanks

Rajendran.

Hi All,

I want it to directly go to other library in sitecollectionB? But where should i configure this.

Hi everybody,

I'm in the process of migrating Sharepoint 2010 to Sharepoint 2013

I installer a new SharePoint 2013 in a lab server, with all services

I backup both WSS_Content and SSP_WSS_Content from the Sharepoint 2010

I restored both to the new SQL

I runned the Test-SPContentDatabase for both database and fixed all isues.

I runned the Mount-SPContentDatabase for both to my http://site/ webapp (both in the same webapp)

I went to http://site/ and runned the "Upgrade Wizard" and got a Updated sucessfully

When I click on "About me" or go to http:/site/personal/username, it switch to person.aspx?... and then to page not found

What's wrong? I can't access any data from the /personal/ sites migrated...

my User Profile is running, I did synchronise all the profiles, clicked on "Setup mysite" and filled as my old server, but it is still not working.

Can anyone help me? Everything "seems" to be working fine except I can't access any /personal/ site.

I removed the old /mysite/ and created a new one, and now everytime I try to access a /personal/ site it goes back to mysite...

I have the following issue:

We have a sharepoint online 2013 (cloud-hosted) team site (ourcompanyname,sharepoint,com) as part of our Office365 Enterprise E3 license

At the moment our users must login through the standard microsoft office365 login form to access our site (login,microsoftonline,com)

Is there a way to have our users login through a custom login form (basic username and password) which then logs them into our sharepoint team site?

Is it possible to do this? I have heard this is achievable with FBA and SP 2013 (on-premise) but not sure about SP 2013 online (cloud hosted) version.

Any response would be greatly appreciated.

many thanks,

Trevor

Hello Experts

I am planning a DR environment for SP2013 below is the scenario.

Production Environment:

2WFE 1APP 2Node DB cluster.

Now I want a DR setup to be placed for this environment. Should I configure all SP databases for synchronous mirroring or just introduce one more node in the cluster.

And Suppose In DR environment I just want "1 SP server and 1 DB server"(since it is a DR which would be used only for time being) OR I go for the same configuration as in the production.

Hi All,

In our SharePoint 2013 environment search is not working for non default zones. But search working for Default URL's only.

For Ex:

Default URL, where search is working: http://www.intranet.company.com/

Intranet URL where search is not working: http://intranet/

I see crawling is running for not default url's also. Can anybody share your ideal to resolve our issue.

Hello

I need to access Central Administration, but don't know how.

I signed up to access SP 2013 with Microsoft, am using my home PC, IE10, running windows 7

After reading a couple of books on SP 2013 & SPD 2013 I created pages from the exercises in the books.

I want to start fresh and delete the pages I created.

the list of pages look like

https://my-site.sharepoint.com/directions

https://my-site.sharepoint.com/contactus

https://my-site.sharepoint.com/businessHours

from another forum, it was explained how to delete these, but first I have to get to the Central Administration page and don't know how to access it.

thank you

Hello

Am running Win 7, SP 2013 online, also using SPD 2013.

I have read a book on SP 2013 and SPD 2013 did many exercises, created many things some good many bad ;-)

Now am ready to build what I intended to do, but I fear I created many sites and subsites that I can't find because I did not delete in a proper manner.

How can I generate a list of my creations? so I can find/delete them.

I installed and configured Workflow Manager on SharePoint Server 2013 server (Windows Server 2008 R2).
When I run Register-SPWorkflowService –SPSite “<site collection url>” –WorkflowHostUri "<workflow manager site>"  I get the following error message:

The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.

Workflow manager site works fine. The XML file is displayed correctly in browser with both HTTP and HTTPS protocols.
The HTTPS certificate is trusted.

SharePoint Server and Workflow Managerare installed on the same server.

I am in the process of setting up the SharePoint 2013 User Profile service and have an issue when starting the Sync service. In the event logs I am seeing:

I am setting up subsite choosing unique permissions.

Later we enabled anonympus access using  site stetings ->site permissions. anon acess at entire web site was selected.

However while  browsing anonymously I found we can view libraries lists , however while selecting office  document , it prompts for login while opening dcument with word and then upon cancel it shoes the document, however if we close the word and then go back to browser to  Subsite url , session refreshes automatically and  produces an error

Sorry, something went wrong
An unexpected error has occurred.

Can I install SharePoint 2013 on Windows 8 with VM?

Which VM is the recommened one?

Hello Experts,

Recently, I worked on site subscription in share point 2013 foundation. I followed below link to set up site subscription. & I successfully set up it on my server which was windows authentication not Form based authentication.

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/russmax/archive/2010/04/03/sharepoint-2010-multi-tenant-hosting-part-2-configuring.aspx

Now I had followed same steps to set up Site subscription in my another web application which is having Form Based Authentication.

Now when I am creating a Tenant Site admin, It shows error that "User not found".

Following is the command which I am executing:

$tasite = new-spsite –url "http://spf2013dev1:3001/sites/TenantAdmin" –template “tenantadmin#0” –owneralias SPF2013FARM1\admin –sitesubscription $sub -AdministrationSiteType tenantadministration.

I checked domain name and user. Both are exist. To set up FBA in Sharepoint Foundation 2013, I had follow below link.

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sridhara/archive/2010/01/07/setting-up-fba-claims-in-sharepoint-2010-with-active-directory-membership-provider.aspx

Please let me know your comments.

Where can I get a comprehensive list of changes SharePoint 2010 and 2013 (implemented with least-priveleged security model) make to local security policies? I have only been able to find bits and pieces of this important info from non-Microsoft sources. I need the details to prevent GPO from disabling or modifying access to needed groups and permissions (and breaking things).

Through experience and what I've researched, the IIS_IUSRS local users group needs "Impersonate a Client After Authentication," and at least some service accounts need "Allow log on locally," "Log on as a service" and "Log on as a batch job." Is this correct and if so...which accounts need which permissions? Are there others?

Thanks in advance!
