Host Header Site Collection - Search

$
0
0

Hello,

I have a SharePoint 2013 deployment that is using host header site collections. I have a web app calledhttp://webapp1 and there is a host header site collection calledhttp://sitecollection1.webapp1.

In this site collection there is content in lists and pages. When I create a content source no results are returned and I get error messages:

When I create  content source as http://webapp1 I get error:

The address could not be resolved

When I create a content source as http://sitecollection1.webapp1 I get error:

This URL is part of a host header SharePoint deployment and the search application is not configured to crawl individual host header sites. This will be crawled as a part of ....a start address

No items are index and the item count shows as 0.

I have added the disableloopbackcheck registry entry.

There is a root site collection at http://sitecollection1.webapp1 and at http://webapp1

The crawl account has full read access to all content.

Any help would be appreciated.

Sharepoint 2013 Install Error

Hello Folks,

I get the following error when installing Sharepoint 2013 (Full Version) on Windows 2012 R1,
Windows 2012 R2, Windows 2008 R2, on various hardware VM or physical, and with SQL
Server 2008, 2012 or the built-in stand-alone which I assume is SQL Express or something like that.

No matter what I try, I get the same error. My system is a small one processor with 8GB of RAM.
I've tried various safe boot configurations and tried to resolve common MSI errors but none
seem to work. When I get it working on my test machine I will be moving it to a full
VMware environment but it was just easier to test out at my desk at this point.

I get completely through the preinstall and almost completely through the install and it fails
and does a roll-back, at the same point every time.

Please help!

Workflow 2013: Configuring Workflow Manager on a server that is part of the Sharepoint 2013 farm

$

Hi all,

Is there any drawback or disadvantage of installing Workflow Manager on a server that is part of the Sharepoint 2013 farm? I couldn't find any informative article about it. Any help would be appreciated.

My configuration:

I have a farm with 3 Sharepoint Servers and 1 SQL Server. I am using 2 SP server as a front end and 1 as a application server. Network Load Balancing is set up between 2 front end servers. Should I set up a workflow farm upon exiting SP farm ?

Link in access request emails - Access to access%20Requests/pendingreq.aspx.

$
0
0

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?

GetChartImageUrl & 401 Not Authorized

$

0

I'm trying to use excel services to render an image of a chart within a workbook.  GetChartImageUrl gives me back an URL (such ashttp://<machineName/_layouts/DynamicImageProvider.aspx?sid=36....", however when attempting to download the data from that URL I get 401 - Unauthorized.

My SP environment is about as simple as it can get...all on a single box.  Everything was deployed using a single account, that account is an admin of *everything*.

The excel document is located within a site collection... <a href="http:///sites/TheSite/Excel Reports/Foo.xlsx">http://<machineName>/sites/TheSite/Excel Reports/Foo.xlsx .  Not sure what GetChartImageUrl is not giving back a URL within the site collection (not sure if this is an issue or not).

If instead I use the Excel REST APIs to retrieve the chart image, that works fine.  Only have a problem when trying to download the data through the URL given back from Excel's service call for GetChartImageUrl.

Thoughts on how I might diagnose and fix this issue?

How often do Retention Policies run in O365 SharePoint?

$

Hello,

I am trying to set up a retention policy on a list in SharePoint Online (O365) that will initiate a workflow I built in SharePoint Designer.  I already noticed that I must create the workflow using the 2010 workflow template (not 2013), or else it does not show up in my retention policy as a workflow that can be initiated.  What I would like to know is the schedule for checking the information policies.  Is it weekly?  Specifically what day and time should I expect the policy to be checked?  We have an E3 license.

I know that in an on-premise environment, the retention policy schedule can be modified in Central Admin, but we do not have access to modify this in O365.

Thanks!

I have my navigation up at the top bar to show Site-->Subsite. I would like to add a level to that without having to program in every folder name. (e.g. Site-->Subsite-->Folders) I'm not trying to do the tree navigation, because I don't want it to show calendar, tasks, etc.

Thoughts?

Is it mandetory to define Active Directory for SharePoint 2013

$

0

We want to build a public facing web site using SharePoint 2013 . but as the public facing web site will be accessed by public users, so can we configure and install the SharePoint server 2013 , without the need to connecting it to Active directory ? . Or using Active directory is mandatory for SharePoint 2013 installation; regardless of whether we want to create a web application inside it which is designed for anonymous users only.

Thanks

User Permission

Hi All,

I am creating a users access for a SharePoint site collection that has quite unique and complex user access requirements. The site has Home (Root) and sites (e.g. Finance, Sales etc.) under it. Each site has sub-sites under it (e.g. Finance has tax, Account payable etc.)

Question: 

1. Do users have to be granted access to the sites (e.g. Sales) in order for them to be granted access to a sub-site under it (e.g. tax) or they can just be granted access to the sub-site without giving them access to it's parent site?

Thank you for the feedback, 

Ajay

Move a web application

$

Hello everyone,

I am trying to move a publising site from my development server to a production server using SP Management Shell. Here were the steps I performed:

(1) Run the following command at the source server:

   Export-SPWeb http://mysite -Path "c:\backup\mysite.cmp"

   * It exports two cmp files, mysite.cmp and mysite1.cmp? It is normal to have more than 1 cmp file?

(2) Create a new web application and site collection (with Publishing Site template) in the target server.

(3) Import web application by run the following command:

   Import-SPWeb http://mysite -Path c:\backup\mysite.cmp -UpdateVersions Overwrite

   * Did it also import mysite1.cmp since it will not allow me to import mysite1.cmp individually?

After the import, the site is up but lot contents are not show up. There are 3 errors in the log. The main error is it cannot replace the seattle master page. I have tried the export/import couple of times but got the same result. Both servers have same build number, 15.0.4535.1000. However, the template on the source server is "Publishing Site" while the template on the targe server is "Publishing Portal" (there is no Publishing Sitem template). I do not know is there any different between the 2 template.  

I defineally need some help on this. Please advise.

Many thanks



Disable Claims based authentication

I recently disabled Claims based authentication on my SP2013 Enterprise site to explore some options involving Infopath 2013 and syncing with AD, however when I did that I was  o longer able to access any of my sites (they would all pop up the "OOOPs there was an error" screen)

I tried creating a new site after disabling CBA thinking perhaps It would need a site created while in Windows authentication mode, but that had no effect and resulted in the same error?

I was under the impression that you could disable CBA?

Thanks,

Sharepoint 2013 Alerts are not firing any mails for the Normal Alerts and search Alerts, can someone guide me with the Email configuration for Alerts?

Hey guys, i've been working with SharePoint alerts for the past two months and in SharePoint 2010 for all the alerts i setup, i recieved confirmation mail and alert mails regarding to the context for both List/Library alerts and search alerts.

but in Sharepoint 2013 RTM Enterprise, I have configured the mail as in 2010 but i do not recieve any confirmation mails or alert mails for the alerts i have set up. i followed the msdn guide to setup but unfortuantely it hasn't been working.

Is there any other configurations other than the configuration of the outgoing mail service that has to be done inorder to get the mail service?

Word and Excel documents need authentication

Greetings,

I have a SharePoint 2013 Claims based NTLM authentication Web Application which have sites where several links for Excel and Word documents. When these links are clicked, the documents are downloaded. When the documents are opened, a login prompt for username and password presents itself. 

I have to disable this login prompt option.

From the research I have done I have learnt that changes need to be down to the browser. This fix doesn't work for me since this is going to be an external site.

I also came across an article which suggests adding a registry key (as shown below) and then restart the WebClient service. This service is disabled to begin with and adding the registry key didn't help.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\WebClient\Parameters\AuthForwardServerList

Has anyone run into this issue and found a solution?

Thanks in advance.

SharePoint 2013 Patch Version installed doesn't match Farm Build or Database Build Versions

$

Greetings,

I recently installed the patch related to KB2810083 in our production environment.  Even after installing the patch on each server and succuessfully running PSCONFIG on each server as well the Farm Build version isn't updating to the proper build #:

Here you can see an example of the patch reporting as installed:

Its the same for each server and trying to run the patch again tells you that it is already installed.

The Farm build version is still the previous version before the patch was installed:

And nothing reports as any actions being required on any servers or databases.  As far as the farm seems to be concerned it is at the proper version and nothing needs to be upgraded.  However I was able to update our development environment with no issues and it reports the proper version number, but if we try to export a site from DEV into Prod it complains that the versions are not the same.

Running a query against the Config database shows the same old version number.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.


MySites Issue Post Upgrade - Your personal site cannot be created because a site already exists with your username.

$

Hello, 

I am finalizing a SharePoint 2013 upgrade from 2010. 

I have re-created my user profile and it is in syn with active directory, so that's all working fine.

My issue is this, when a user (who had created a MySite in the 2010 environment) navigates to the MySite web application they receive this message:

"Your personal site cannot be created because a site already exists with your username. Contact your site administrator for more information." 

What step am I missing? I would have expected each users content to have stayed established to each MySite, but it's obviously not. 

Is this an issue with my Secure Store Service? 

I do have a workaround in place to create a NEW MySite web application and export each users content manually into their new MySite. However, I want avoid manual export/import procedures and risk losing document version history.

Any and all help would be very appreciated!

Thanks,

Kelly
