sharepoint 2013 user profile synchronization or active directory import
Which one is better?
I saw many links with UPA stuck on starting and even I experienced this issue and the only way to start is restart the server or reinstall UPA.
Is new AD direct import more stable that UPS in sharepoint 2013?

Hello forum,
I am able to crawl my root site collection for my Web App (https://qaserver), however I am not able to crawl the 3 HNSC's that are connected to the web app. I am able to browse them, but not index content.
I get the following error in the crawl log:
"Item not crawled due to one of the following reasons: Preventive crawl rule; Specified content source hops/depth exceeded; URL has query string parameter; Required protocol handler not found; Preventive robots directive. ( This item was deleted because
it was excluded by a crawl rule. )"
I don't have any crawl rules, specified hops, query string and robots file. Required protocol handler should be https and is working via browse without issue.
Is there anything specific I need to do to have search index HNSC's?

Any ideas?

Hi
I have SharePoint 2013 test farm with one WFE and one APP server. I provisioned User Profile and My Site services successfully.
Whenever I try open Newsfeed, I got a message and a search on that message indicate the Distributed Catche is not running.
My Question is do I have to configure Distributed catch for Newsfeed to work or can it run without DC.
Thanks

I have two servers on the same network.
One is a "test" environment that has been used as production. The developers have been developing on it and passing out links to reports and dashboards -- it's really not good -- we want to change this.
The only content we care about promoting to the new environment are some PerformancePoint dashboards, scorecards, reports, and KPI's as well as some SSRS reports. Both environments are SP 2013 Foundation Enterprise using the same service accounts and farm admin account.
How would I do this?
Hi,
I'm looking into the options of using the SPuserLicensing feature in a SharePoint 2013 environment.
I have enabled the feature and created 2 mapping, one for a standard license mapped to a Security Global AD group "standard" and one for an enterprise license mapped to a Security Global AD group "enterprise".
Next I created 2 users: mrstandard, member of the standard group and mrenterprise, member of the enterprise group.
I created a page with a visio web access web part on it and it works as expected:
- mrstandard isn't able to see the content due to licensing reasons
- mrenterprise can see the content.
Now I added mrstandard as member of the enterprise group mentioned above and a quick refresh of the page doesn't show him the enterprise content. Next I closed my browser, logged in as mrstandard again and it still doesn't show the content.
Eventually I did an IISreset and logged in again as mrstandard, now he IS able to see the enterprise content.
I was wondering, what component does the check to see if the user is a member of the Active Directory enterprise group , and how can I influence it (set interval perhaps?) without doing stupid things like IISresets in a production environment of course :)
Hello,
The New-SPWebApplication command allows us to specify full set of IIS related web application setting, for example:
New-SPWebApplication -Name "Contoso Internet Site" -Port 80 -HostHeader sharepoint.contoso.com -URL"https://www.contoso.com" -ApplicationPool "ContosoAppPool" -ApplicationPoolAccount (Get-SPManagedAccount "DOMAIN\jdoe") –AuthenticationProvider $ap –SecureSocketsLayer
Why I cannot get above settings when I run Get-SPWebApplication? What is the PowerShell command that returns the properties that New-SPWebApplication accepts?
Thank you,
Hi,
I am trying to upgrading SharePoint 2010 site to 2013. The 2010 site has some custom page layouts. Many pages has been created using that page layouts. Now the problem is after upgrading the database, when we run test-spdatabse we are getting some error. Also the solution is not installed in 2013. So we are getting Missing setup file error. Here am not going to use the same assembly name for the new project. So I have o delete the existing page layouts and deploy a new solution to create custom layouts. But the system is not allowing me to delete the page layouts.
we are getting "This item cannot be deleted because it is still referenced by other pages"
since it is used by many pages. I can't delete the page. I want to delete the page layouts alone.
Any solution for this? Thanks for understanding
Thanks,

I've changed the MySite Settings in Central Admin so that only my AD group called "DOMAIN\All employees" is added to the Read Permission Level setting. I've removed "All" and "All Windows".
Now users create MySites, and at first the permissions seems right. When I check top level permission on new mysite, only the user and the group "DOMAIN\All employees" is present in the list.
The problem is that the folder "Shared with everyone" and the lists "Social" and "Microfeed" does not get the correct permissions. When I check the permissions (since they have unique permissions) I can see that it is the claim"All" that has access, not my "DOMAIN\All employees" group.
This means that the documents added to the "Shared with everyone" is available for all users, not only my employees. The same is for content in the social lists, the elements are visible in search results for all users.
Does anyone know how I can change the default permissions of the folder and the two lists that does not inherit permissions from the root web of the mysite?

I am trying to upgrade from SP 2010 to 2013.
For this I am following the database detach and attach process.
I have taken the backup of my content DB from SP2010 and restored it on SP2013 SQL server.
After this, I am running the following powershell command on SP2013 powershell:
Test-SPContentDatabase -name "WSS_Content" -webapplication "http://servername"
After running this, I am getting the following error:

I have configured a content deployment path to deploy content from Authoring web application to a production web application.
Both web applications are in the same farm.
I am now trying to setup the deployment job.
I select the path that I have created, and then want to change the scope.
When I select '<label for="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_scopeInputFormSection_partialScopeRadioButton">Specific sites within the site collection' option and then click on the Select Sites button, I get the following error:</label>
Access Required.
Sorry, this site hasn't been shared with you.
The account used in the Deployment path is a Farm Administrator and has been given access to each of the relevant site collections in each Web Application.
<label for="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_scopeInputFormSection_partialScopeRadioButton"></label>

Hi, I've got a problem with List-Workflows in Sharepoint 2013. Those are workflows from 2010, I don't have 2013 workflows yet.
They are working perfect when started on create or edit item. I just can't start them manual, even if the option is set in sharepoint designer.
When I go to "Items" -> "Workflows" in the Ribbon of the Sharepoint site i get this error:
Sorry, something went wrong File Not Found. TECHNICAL DETAILS Troubleshoot issues with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation. Correlation ID: f4213d9c-192e-404f-cf35-f425e0a1d312 Date and Time: 27.08.2013 15:24:30
I don't know what to do or where to find a logfile that shows me some more information about it.
Hi,
If I go to Site Settings-> Site Permissions and click the Grant Permissions, pick FBA role, so this role is added as a Domain Group. How can I add programmatically? Thanks for a help.
PSConfigUI.exe does not open and the psconfig.exe gives the message that only one copy can be run.
Running the CheckPSConfigUI program returns true but there is nothing in task manager.
I have checked the other threads and do not have CISCO or AV software installed.
I cannot find any errors in logs (maybe i don't know the correct log).
Can I manually upgrade the databases? If so is there a script to do this?
Thanks for looking.

Is there a comprehensive list of applications / services in SP2013 that support SSAS drillthrough actions (SQL 2012)? I am working with a client that currently utilizes Excel Web App, which doesn't appear to support drillthrough action (I know that there are some work arounds, but I want out of the box SSAS defined functionality).
Which BI services on SP2013 are supported? My best guesses:
Excel Web App - No?
Excel Services - Yes?
SSRS - Yes?
Power View - No?
PerformancePoint - Yes?
I am running SharePoint 2013 Enterprise and reside in the UK where we use it for our intranet.
I have created an Excel Services service application and then a web application and a site collection beneath it with a BI site.
When I load up the Excel Services Sample Workbook and click on the slicers everything works fine. However, when I change the Regional Settings of the BI site from English(United States) to English(United Kingdom) and repeat the process I get the error: "We don't know what happened, but something went wrong"
This error also occurs when I load Excel spread sheets containing PowerPivot slicers.
Checking the ULS log there are a number of messages for the correlation ID, the most significant is this one:
ExcelService.PostProcessRequest: The server encountered a very serious error and will continue to function. Please log this as a bug. Exception was: System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException (0x80004005): External component has thrown an exception.
at Microsoft.Office.Excel.Server.CalculationServer.ExcelServiceBase.PostProcessRequest(EcsCommandResult result, Exception ex) System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException (0x80004005): External component has thrown an exception.
at Microsoft.Office.Excel.Server.CalculationServer.ExcelServiceBase.PostProcessRequest(EcsCommandResult result, Exception ex) StackTrace:

at Microsoft.Office.Server.Native.dll: (offset=21C85)
If I then change the Regional Settings of the BI site back to English(United States) the problem goes away, although obviously currency and dates in the reports are US and not UK.
I have found a couple of articles that refer to missing file directories for the 2057 locale id but they haven't been any help (they refer to a different problem but I thought it might be the same principle) - 2057 is, I believe, the locale id for United Kingdom.
Does anyone have a clue how to address this issue?
User profiles from Active directory when loggedin then userdisplay, useredit shows blank white screen in SharePoint 2013
I can login with the these AD users and AD direct import is working just fine. We are not using UPS.
With admin user when I click on the user it shows up proper data. But when I login with the same user it does not show me userdisplay/useredit and shows blank data. Also another strange thing is when I add new item in list with these AD users created by modified by is blank and its really strange. I checked user information list, tried to rerun user sync with direct AD import option but no success.
