How to configure the outgoing emails from SharePoint 2013 through the Exchange server 2013? 

I found this link http://blogs.technet.com/b/harmeetw/archive/2012/12/29/sharepoint-2013-configure-incoming-emails-with-exchange-server-2013.aspx but it was for incoming emails only !

Setup

Domain Controller – Windows Server 2012

Exchange Server – Exchange Server 2013

SharePoint Server – SharePoint Server 2013

Access requests executed within SharePoint 2013 trigger a request email. These emails provide a link to accept or deny the request. The link points to the following pagehttp://sitename/access%20Requests/pendingreq.aspx.

The problem is the page provided via the link in these emails is only accessible to SITE COLLECTION ADMINISTRATORS (from what I can tell).

This may be easier to understand via an example:

• Joe has full control to our marketing site, a sub-site which lives under our top level site collection site. (We have 1 site collection and everything lives under this umbrella.)
• Given his full control access, Joe can manage permissions on the marketing site directly within SharePoint.
• However, Joe is setup to receive access requests from this site, yet, he is unable hit theAccess%20Requests/pendingreq.aspx link as provided in the request emails sent from the site.
  • Joe get access denied when he clicks the link to approve or deny the request as provided in the email.
  • Again, the link in the email points to this .aspx page: Access%20Requests/pendingreq.aspx
• If I add Joe to the site collection administrators group, the problem is resolved.
• Unfortunately, this fix doesn’t work for us because as a site collection admin, Joe has access to everything throughout our environment.

Thoughts?

When we are trying to create new search service application we are getting following error

 The account i am using is Farm Administrator account. It has Secuirty admin and DBCreator access to SQl Instance

Errors were encountered during the configuration of the Search Service Application.

Can someone help me in this regard at the earliest ....

Thanks,

Thanks & Regards, RK.

I've got a Project Server 2013 custom field, and I'd like to create a view that only shows me projects where the value in that custom field equals the current user. Simply put: I'm trying to find functionality similar to the [Me] filter in SharePoint.

Apparently, simply using [Me] doesn't work. How can I fix this?

hello,

i installed share point 2013 on 2008 r2 server (no domain) i want to make user permision so they can open list passed thier permission so can i do it with out dc ?

also i want to enable unc patch so the client can brows the files from windows explorer as share folder.

thanks.

New instance of Sharepoint 2013 with latest CU installed.  We upgraded 3 sites via mount database and they appear to work fine.  I can create new web applications, however when we try to create a new site collection via the GUI or PS it fails.  Can anyone please help us solve this?  I have searched high and low to figure this out and I have not found anything helpful.  I have checked permissions on the database and the user is a farm admin that is running the PS with elevation.

Good Evening,

I've come across a peculiar issue that pretty well removes my ability to work with my SharePoint server. The issue comes down to authentication.

I say the issue is peculiar because I'm able to log in to Central Administration interface, change site collection administrators, etc. But, when I try to log in to a site collection with the credentials I used to log in to Central Administration, I get the following behaviors:

• In Mozilla Firefox, endless authentication loop (type u/n and p/w, click ok, get prompt again.)
• In Internet Explorer, receive a message "the server declined to show the page." Details say that IE was able to get a response from the server, but the provided credentials are invalid.

To troubleshoot, I logged into Central Administration and set the site collection administrator for the collection I was trying to access to the same account as the SharePoint Farm Administrator. Alas, no luck.

I know that Central Administration and the Sharepoint : 80 systems use different databases and are different IIS App Pools, but I am truly stumped.

Are there any PowerShell commands I could try to restore access?

I am trying to create a new web application and new website under it with a Host Named Site Collectionhttp://xx.blahtest.domain.net When I create my new site under PowerShell for some reason it creates the site just fine. I assign myself as the site administrator (I'm already farm admin also).

When I go to my new site for the first time I get the 401 unauthorized error. I was able to bring up the site settings by manually typing in the urlhttp://xx.blahtest.domain.net/_layouts/15/settings.aspx and then when I go and disable the Minimal Download Strategy feature, I can get to the main site page just fine.

My only issue is that when this is the case I cannot upload documents through the drag and drop method or grant other users permissions (I cannot get their usernames to resolve) or post anything under discussions.

I am not sure if I just need an IISRESET after creating the new HNSC or if I need to restart my wfe or something else. I am not having any issues with 3 other web applications with sites on them in the same farm. Only with this new web app with the new HSNC.

I do have other HSNC on another web app, so again not sure why my issue is isolated just on this new site collection.

Hi everyone,

I would like to know if the resource "Shared with me" and "Recents documents" on Skydrive is available on Sharepoint 2013 on-premise. 

Thanks!

I gave the shared folder Full Access access to:

I have had a few virtual machines that built fine... one I’ve been using to test with works about 33% of the time and fails with the same error other times. I have tweaked the RAM and the # of Virtual Procs and nothing seems to consistently fix it.  Specifically I've disabled dynamic memory, set the RAM to 8GB and the number of procs to 4. I've also downloaded the SharePoint ISO from multiple sources (MSDN/TechNet/Trial) thinking the installer was possibly corrupt - same issue.

At this point I'm thinking it is either an issue with Hyper-V on Windows 8.1 + SharePoint or else something specific to my hardware but it is terribly hard to troubleshoot an error that is intermittent. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated!

using the MPR test tool, I have so far only managed to get silver competency, and am unable to reach gold. Everything in the test registers a pass except a few things about 3rd party binary files that do not affect the status of the test anyway. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?

Any help is much appreciated.

Hi,

We are building our corporate intranet and trying to implement people search in our SharePoint 2013 Enterprise edition environment. The environment has been updated up to August CU and I am implementing host-named site collections. The challenge faced is that we don’t want to implement My Sites at this point. However all reading material points to having My Sites to implement people search. I have set up the User Profile service and imported users from Active Directory. All I want is to be able to search the User Profiles and display results. Is there any other option besides implementing My Sites? Would setting up the My Site host collection without actually setting up My Sites do the trick?

Thanks for your help in advance.
