SP 2013 upgrade error on all discussion lists

$
0
0

Has anyone had any issue with discussion lists in the upgrade process? Our client based all sites off the team site template and so most all have a discussion list.

All sites are failing to upgrade on this feature and not sure why. Doesn't seem to be very common problem. Ignore the TimeMaskedControl feature errors, we have resolved those already.

Any thoughts/suggestions are appreciated!


Issues with SharePoint 2013 after upgrading from windows 2012 to 2012 r2

$
0

We have a Sharepoint with Sp1 environment on windows 2012. Recently we upgraded the windows 2012 to 2012 r2. After the upgrade sharepoint environment is completely unstable.

  1. At first all the sites returned 401 errors. After resolving by resetting the object cache accounts the sites are back.
  2. Then i see that none of the performance point dashboards work. I figured that claims to windows token service is defaulted to local system account. I previously configured with a domain account. I reconfigured to work with domain account. 
  3. All the dashboard pages throw error.

       Some Error logs:Failed to get document content data. System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): Cannot complete this function     at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSqlClient.GetDocumentContentRow    

Application error when access /Dashboards/Performance Dashboard/Main.aspx, Error=The EnableScriptGlobalization property cannot be changed during async postbacks or after the Init event.   at System.Web.UI.ScriptManager.set_EnableScriptGlobalization(Boolean value)    

  4.  I tried to create a new dashboard and this time the performancepoint designer wont launch. After some troubleshooting i see that c2w host file didnot have the caller  C:\Program Files\Windows Identity Foundation\v3.5. 

       I added <add value="WSS_WPG" /> and now it launches

  5.  Now the Dashboard launches and peruser identity works without having kerberos enabled at IIS. I have all the spn and required delegations setup for this url . But i did not configure at the IIS level yet.

It looks like lot of things got messed up and reset. Can we upgrade to windows 2012 r2 with a sharepoint application inplace. what is the recommended approach and Whats happening with Performancepoint dashboards. IS there a known issue with sharepoint 2013 sp1.

PowerPivot Management Dashboard Icon - What does a red exclamation mark mean?

I just ran a Data Refresh.  There is a red exclamation next to a record.

 I have looked here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210626.aspx and http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj879294.aspx

What does this mean?  Where is the documentation explaining what icons mean in SharePoint and SP Designer?  Links appreciated.  Thanks!

Upgrade Search Service Applications

Is there any reason why we want to upgrade the service applications (using database attach) like secure store, user profile, search service.. rather than re-creating them manually? We are trying to upgrade from SP 2010 to SP 2013 and was stuck figuring out how to go with service applications.

Thanks in advance.

User Profile Application Recreated / Mysite no longer work

Hello,

I came in this morning and found that the User Profile Service Application on our SharePoint 2013 Enterprise farm had become corrupt.  I tried correcting the issues however was not able to restore functionality.  I then removed the User Profile Service Application and recreated it again.  I am able to complete a full sync of our Active Directory OUs however it appears that when our Mysite web applications is accessed it displays the error that "something went wrong".  The correlation ID is not giving much to work on either.  Is there something that needs to be done to link the User Profile Sync to the existing MySites that still exist on the Mysites web application? 

 

While recreating the User Profile I did create new databases and a new IIS app_pool account.  

Server Details:

  • Server 1 - windows 2012  - SharePoint 2013 Enterprise  Web front and and application server

Hi All,

Issue: In a Multi Farm architecture (Cross farm Services) from a consuming farm ,I am unable to get a reference to Search Service Application object  (using Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication).


I am trying to create a managed property at site collection level using PowerShell script

Below is the code snippet I used:

$site = Get-SPSite http://sitecollectionurl
$siteguid = $site.id
proxy= [Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceApplicationProxy]::
 GetProxy([Microsoft.SharePoint.SPServiceContext]::GetContext($site));
 $proxy.ServiceEndpointUri
 
$ssaId = $proxy.GetSearchServiceApplicationInfo().SearchServiceApplicationId

I am able to get the GUID of Search Service Application created in Publishing Farm

Not sure what exactly is the issue bur the following statement is failing

  $mmproperty=Get-SPEnterpriseSearchMetadataManagedProperty -Identity RefinableDate00
 -SearchApplication $ssaId -SiteCollection $siteguid

Get-SPEnterpriseSearchMetadataManagedProperty : SearchApplication $ssaId not found.
At line:1 char:14

 NOTE: I am able to create a managed property using UI- SiteSettings-> SiteCollection Administration-> Search Schema-> New Managed Property

I would really appreciate your help in this regard.

Cannot give permission to users from second WFE

Hi everyone,

we have 3 WFE servers in our system which we want to load balance. But first we wanted to check all applications work on all servers without any problem. when we manually direct one of our application to the second server that application stop finding users. I mean when I try to add permission to one user it says "Sorry, you are not allowed to share this with external users" (even to our farm account) also it gives "An exception occurred in AD claim provider when calling SPClaimProvider.FillSearch(): Cannot retrieve the information for application credential key.." and "An exception occurred in AD claim provider when calling SPClaimProvider.FillResolve(): Cannot retrieve the information for application credential key.." in ULS log.

In short version if application Works on firsts server we can give permission to users but if application redirected to second server we cant give any permission to same user. Can anyone please help me, thanks a lot.

odd authentication issue

$
0
0

We just went live with a SharePoint 2013 Foundations site. There is a subsite for bidding that is anonymous at the top level which is inherited throughout all the 100 or so document libraries.

  1. Users running Windows 7 and some sort of Internet Explorer can go to the site with being prompted for credentials.
  2. Some Adobe documents will open without being prompted for credentials, some others do prompt. This appears to be random.
  3. On same computers opening document with Firefox or Chrome open without prompt.
  4. On same computers right clicking documents in Internet Explorer and saving them save the files without prompt.
  5. All computers running Windows XP and Internet Explorer 8 open without prompt.
  6. The only other symptom I can see is when the file is clicked to open the Adobe within the browser, the Adobe Reader seems to open and is covered by the credentials box.

Opening the docs in Windows XP successfully is obviously the change in the authentication mechanism Windows XP vs Windows 7 use.

I would appreciate some tips to further troubleshoot or perhaps a solution if it exists.

Thanks in advance.

OOB workflow SP  designer 2013

The workflow purpose is change the status columns from COMPLETE to IN PROGRESS or from IN PROGRESS to COMPLETE according some columns value.. And if the change is fromIN PROGRESS to COMPLETE there will be change in some columns like

Else pause until the alert date=Today()

If the status (columns) = in progress send Remainder email every 10 days

If the status change from in progress to Complete (BY MANAGER MANUALLY) then

Contractor last renewed Date =TODAY()

Contractor Valid to Review=TODAY() + 4 MONTH

 Alert Contract Date=today() + 5 month

and Contract Due Date=today() + 6 months

AND START THE WORKFLOW AFTER UPDATING THIS COLUMNS FOR NEXT cycle

Service Accounts in Sharepoint 2013

Ok in SharePoint 2013, we have an intranet set up. Ok so on the central administration page, under Security, and configure service accounts, I selected Farm Account for the drop down menu at the top. We have 3 managed accounts for the intranet, which are sp_farm, sp_serviceapp, and sp_webapp. Now by mistake, I selected the sp_serviceapp for the (select an account for this component) and clicked ok. Now when I go to change it back to sp_farm, it gives me an error page, it says the website declined to show this webpage, and most likely causes: this website requires you to login. And it doesn't change it back. Would someone please let me know how I can change the component account for my farm account from sp_serviceapp to sp_farm? Thank you.

Strange behaviour of User Profile Synchronization

$
0
0

Hi,

last week I created 2 new user profile properties via CA. First property named "HR - Manager" is mapped to AD attribute "manager". Second property named "HR - Assistant" is mapped to AD attribute "assistant". There was UP property "Manager" mapped to "manager" attribute already existing. After full sync run, the values in these properties are mixed.

Property Manager has assigned manager correctly, butHR - Manager property has assigned "assistent" property andHR - Assistent has assigned "manager" attribute. 

Another problem is mapping "seeAlso" and "secretary" attribute. These attributes are not available in dropdown while creating new property mapping. I also tried to create mapping using powershell script, but with no success. 

Everything else except these two mentioned problems is working fine, other properties are synchronized correctly. In MIISclient is everything with status succeeded.

I'm running SP 2013 with March CU.

Thank you in advance.

Service accounts adding to Local admin group

Hello Everyone,

What are the risks with adding SharePoint service application service accounts to local admin group.

I see in many Microsoft blogs not to use farm account to create service application and better to use dedicated service account but i didn't see any articles why we shouldn't add dedicated service accounts to local admin group

I am facing some GPO issue and one my friend suggested to add service accounts to add local administrator group to fix this issue but i am not sure what the risks behind it. 

Please let me know if you aware of risks.

Thanks S

Sharepoint 2013 SSRS Interaction with Sql Server 2012 Reporting Services connecting to Sql Server 2008 R2 database

$

Hi

I'm working on upgrading sharepoint 2010 to sharepoint 2013 with sql server 2008 r2. I've ran into some problems but have been able to get a test farm upgraded. However to run SSRS 2013 it seems Sql Server 2012 Reporting Services are required. Upgrading to a full sql server 2012 database isn't an option. I know that sql server 2012 reporting services can use sql server 2008 r2 as a catalog and content database so I was wondering could this be a workaround? Importantly would I need a separate machine/virtual machine to host sql server 2012 reporting services? or could it live on the sql server 2008 r2 machine? Any pointers appreciated. Thanks Dan

Problems with XsltListViewWebPart and Migrated Libraries

$
0
0

I have migrated some libraries and lists from SharePoint 2007 directly to SharePoint 2013 (using some creative scripting). While this mostly works, I have a few stubborn libraries that refuse to work properly. The problem seems to be focused around the XsltListViewWebPart, the default viewer of content since SharePoint 2010. The migrated libraries are imported with the functional ListViewWebPart, but if I make any changes to the view it's "upgraded" to the XsltListViewWebPart or if I create a new view it uses the XsltListViewWebPart. While I would like to use the XsltListViewWebPart for its superior functionality, I receive the following error whenever a page with the XsltListViewWebPart for the library loads. Seems like it's missing the proper content types possibly, but I can't figure out how to get around it.
