Installing SkyDrive Pro

$

0

Hi there, I am trying to install SkyDrive Pro on my Windows 7 Entperprise SP1 desktop and am getting a problem in the shape of a "We found a problem" dialog box: We found a pre-release or Beta version of an Office product on your computer and can't install becuase of it. Please Uninstall ... and try again".

Any ideas on where this might be coming from? We have a fairly standard MS suite of products, none of them Beta that I know of. We are trialling Office365 for roll-out to the whole University, hence my desire to be able to use SkyDrive to acess my work folders via O365.

 Any help appreciated.

Hi,

We are doing a test upgrade from sharepoint 2010 to sharepoint 2013 environment. We have upgraded the user profile service application and started the user profile synchronization service as per the documentation.

Now we are trying to import the encryption key of the user profile service application of SP 2010 into SP 2013. We are using the below command by replacing the 'PATH'

miiskmu.exe /i Path {0E19E162-827E-4077-82D4-E6ABD531636E}

Following is the error :

miiskmu.exe /i Path {0E19E162-827E-4077-82D4-E6ABD531636E}

Error : The operation encountered an error and cannot be completed

The operation failed because the server service was started

Error code : 80131600

SharePoint 2013 Language Pack Installation - Is Operating System Language Pack Install Required

$

0

Good Day,

In documentation that covers language pack installation on legacy version of SharePoint (2007/2010), there are required steps to install the equivalent OS language pack before installing the SP language pack. However, when reading the SharePoint 2013 language pack documentation, I no longer see that requirement.

Can somebody confirm whether or not the OS language pack needs to be installed before installing the SharePoint language pack? Also, sorry to double the question, but in a 3-tier farm, I will need to execute all steps on the app server and WFE server before running psconfig on the app server, correct?

Thanks,

Chris

Workflow 404 Not Found : Originally Setup as HTTPS only

After installing Workflow manager, I tried to register the site and received an error.

After further investigation into IIS I realized that I accidentally setup HTTPS only and not only HTTP.  I changed the binding, did an IIS reset, added a host file entry, tried the -scopename switch, nothing works.  I get the following error:

Register-SPWorkflowService : The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.

I am able to navigate to http://servername.site.domain:12291 and it displays the XML. 

How should I proceed? Am I missing something that I need to change other than the binding?


Prevent members from editing pages & lists / apps in SharePoint 2013

$

In SharePoint 2013, the default members group has rights to edit pages and lists / apps.  Here's how I resolved such a problem.

 

  1. Create a copy of the "Contribute" site level permission.
    1. Name it "User"
    1. Give it the following description.  "Can view, add & update list items and documents without editing pages."
    1. Under List Permissions, uncheck "Edit Items - Edit items in lists, edit document libraries, and customize Web Part Pages in document libraries.
    1. Save it.

 

  1. Create new group called "YourSiteName Users" and assign it the "User" site level permission and following "about me" description... "Can view, add & update list items and documents without editing pages."


  1. Set the new group as the default members group for the site or site collection.

This is a new 2013 installation.   Windows Firewall is turned off on the APP, WFE, and database server.

In the event logs I saw these two errors below.   Is it possible that port 1433 is being blocked by an appliance firewall? 

Cannot connect to database master at SQL server at SPDBSERVER -AdministrationContentDatabaseName. The database might not exist, or the current user does not have permission to connect to it.

A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)

FedAuth Cookie intermittently set as persistent cookie

I have a following situation. Have a Sharepoint 2013 farm with 8 Front end servers with 2 of them allocated for Central Adimin. I have to setup the fedAuth cookie as session cookie to ensure, the session get removed when the user closes the browser.

Ran the following PS script to configure session cookies.

$sts = Get-SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig

$sts.UseSessionCookies = $true

$sts.Update()

iisreset

Even after this configuration, I see FedAuth is being set as Persistent cookie with an expiration date. FedAuth cookie is setup as Persistent cookie intermittently. Any insight on this intermittent behavior will be very helpful.

Error when trying to change the look of a site collection

$

Hello everyone!

I have a single-server on-premise installation of SharePoint 2013 and I noticed that you can change the way fonts, colors etc. are used on a site collection by selecting "Change the look" from the site settings. However when I browse the page I get an empty page with the spinner on the right just going in circles.

The browser log displays an error from _layouts/15/designgallery.js with this message:

SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character

The file is minified so unfortunately it does not tell me much more. However I also noticed a call to the webservice at /_layouts/15/designdata.ashx?hashcode=-1638098219&lcid=1033. Although this call returned a http 200 response the page turned out to be the "Sorry, something went wrong"-page with a correlation id as well. Looking up the correlation id in the trace log I found this unexpected error

Application error when access /_layouts/15/designdata.ashx, Error=Object reference not set to an instance of an object.  
 at Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities.ThemeFontFace.Create(XPathNavigator xpnFontNode, XmlNamespaceManager nsm)

 at System.Web.HttpApplication.CallHandlerExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute()    
 at System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously)


Has anyone encountered this error before or knows what the issue might be? I suspect that this error prevents me from changing the look of the site collection.


Uninstall "lost" feature

Hi, I was making first experiments in making SharePoint 2013 workflow and during all my experiments I made some mistake and 2 features left in site collection, one of them can even be activated and deactivated.

I can see the fetures in Site Settings - Manage Features, using F12 in IE I've got their IDs, but I can't do anything in PowerShell using these IDs (Uninstall-SPFeature -Identity), it says it can't find feature. Same for FeatureAdminTool - it can't see them.

So, how can I remove them?

Tasks List not sending email to AD Groups

$

Hello,

I have several Tasks list on my farm and all behave the same way.

If I assign a task to an individual person, he will receive email notification.
However, if I assign it to an Active Directory group, no email notification is sent. The AD group does have an email address associated. Using outlook it can receive email.

The email notifications for the task list is enabled. If I check the SharePoint logs, I don't see that SharePoint is trying to send mail to the group's email. If I assign the task to a single person, he receives the mail and I can see in the logs that the email has been sent.

I have no idea where to continue the troubleshooting.

I installed the March 2013 and October 2013 hotfixes and it appears to have broken my web apps for word. When a document opens, it says "sorry, we ran into a problem" and gives you the option to restart (which returns same error) or exit.  I don't even know how to begin troubleshooting this. 

Update: works fine in IE9, but not IE11.

SP2013 “Create Service Applicationt” and “Service Applications’ Property” buttons are disabled

Hello,

  • I’ve verified that I am local admin on the server that is hosting central admin.
  • I run the browser as admin. In fact I am using Central Admin on the start menu. The UAC is disabled on the box any way
  • I run the browser on the machine that is hosing CA. I've tested in on many other machines.
  • I verified and my user is farm admin. That means I can see my logged-in user listed in CA->“Manage the farm administrators group”
  • IE Enhanced Security is off

Still I cannot create a service application or see any service application’s property. How to find where exactly is the problem?

Thank you
