Create a ready to use image for SharePoint 2013 development environment.

Hi 

I have a requirement in which we are required to have an Image of the whole SharePoint 2013 environment, (ideally single server installation/standalone as I believe multi-tier would not be possible, or if possible suggest on that also), with all the installations done- SQL server, SharePoint , language pack if any, App configured, search, service applications, etc etc. so that if at all required we would have that image in a server and provide that image to the developer, he would either mount it or run it and start the SharePoint 2013 App development.

Please suggest on this.

Thanks in advance.

Adding only certain OU to SharePoint

March 20, 2014, 8:54 am

We are currently facing an issue due to the way our AD is setup where we have two OUs that basically contain duplicate data of each other, plus a third OU that contains users external to the organization. We are trying to find some way for SharePoint to only use two of those three OUs, but so far we have not been able to find a solution and have had to include all three OUs. This causes users to see duplicate names in people pickers, and one of the two names is not valid and the user really has no way to tell the difference.

Is there any known ways to tell SharePoint which OUs it should be including and which it should be excluding?

Strange "delay" and failure issues with 2013 Foundation after migration

I've recently performed two forklift upgrades for customers, going from WSS 3.0 on SBS 2003/2008 to SharePoint Foundation 2013 on Windows Server 2012 R2.  One of them worked just fine after all the dust settled.  However, one of them continues to give us problems.

The customer emailed us, saying that the SharePoint site "sticks" for 10-15 seconds and fails to load the first time a user accesses it.  However, upon a refresh, it works just fine.  I can confirm this behavior, and it isn't just after a recycle of the site either.  If you wait 5-10 minutes on the same machine, you can reproduce the behavior on demand.  So I set up tracing in IIS to determine what's going on, and I see tons and tons of 401.1 errors, even when clients can successfully access the site.  I also see 5+ second delays seemingly for no reason at all.

Authentication is currently set to Negotiate (Kerberos) from within SharePoint, and the site defaults in IIS appear correct.  If I touch any settings related to authentication, such as changing from Kerberos to NTLM, the site either breaks entirely, or pops up a login prompt each time the site is accessed.  SharePoint on this customer's premises is only accessed internally, and a login prompt in this case is highly undesirable as well.  The only way I was able to fix the login prompts after attempting changes was to roll the VM back to the snapshot I took immediately prior to changing anything.

I'm not sure what could be misconfigured, but I'm highly suspicious that authentication is messed up in some way.  I can provide some of the xml trace logs from IIS if that is of any use in hunting this down.  Can anyone shed some light on this?  Thank you.

SharePoint 2013 hybrid SSO: prevent Office 365 login page

We've configured a SharePoint 2013 two-way hybrid farm with ADFS 3.0. We want to achieve Single Sign-On (SSO), which is working, but not quite in a way that's ideal. Here's a scenario:

When a user accesses the on-premises farm they are redirected to our ADFS server and log in. When they then try to access their OneDrive (using the link in the top nav bar), which is hosted in our Office 365 environment, they are presented with the Office 365 login page. When they enter their user name they are immediately redirected to our ADFS and login happens. So in a way we've got Single Sign-on working. They don't have to provide their password a second time. But it still requires users to enter their username in that Office 365 login page. Is there a way to prevent that intermediate Office 365 login page, so the switch between the two environments is seemless?

SharePoint 2013 A potentially dangerous Request.Path value was detected from the client (%). %2520 in URL.

Hi,

If you deployed SharePoint 2013 and your user logon name accounts have space characters, the users will receive "Sorry, something went wrong Correlation ID: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" if they are accessing specific sections of your sites.

I am describing a little bit how the problem can be reproduced. I have:

  • SharePoint 2013 with CU August 13 2013 (15.0.4535.1000) – latest CU available for SharePoint 2013 (at this moment).
  • User Profile Synchronization Service properly configured.
  • One user account who has space characters in the value of sAMAccountName (e.g. Smith John)
  • One user account who doesn’t have space characters in the value of sAMAccountName (e.g. Smith.John)

If you authenticate to SharePoint 2013 using "ITECH\Smith John" and go to "Newsfeed" -> "I'm following" section and click to get the sites / documents you are following, SharePoint will return "Sorry, something went wrong Correlation ID: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000".

In the SharePoint logs you will get:
"Application error when access /personal/itech_smith%20john/Social/Sites.aspx, Error=A potentially dangerous Request.Path value was detected from the client (%). 
at System.Web.HttpRequest.ValidateInputIfRequiredByConfig()   
at System.Web.HttpApplication.PipelineStepManager.ValidateHelper(HttpContext context)"

"System.Web.HttpException: A potentially dangerous Request.Path value was detected from the client (%).   
 at System.Web.HttpRequest.ValidateInputIfRequiredByConfig()    
 at System.Web.HttpApplication.PipelineStepManager.ValidateHelper(HttpContext context)"

"Getting Error Message for Exception System.Web.HttpException (0x80004005): A potentially dangerous Request.Path value was detected from the client (%).    
 at System.Web.HttpRequest.ValidateInputIfRequiredByConfig()    
 at System.Web.HttpApplication.PipelineStepManager.ValidateHelper(HttpContext context)"

If you look carefully, the URL address looks like "http://yourdomain/personal/itech_ smith%2520john/Social/Sites.aspx". The problem is the %2520 which normally should be %20.

If you manually correct the URL (http://yourdomain/personal/itech_ smith%20john/Social/Sites.aspx) you will get to the correct page.

If you authenticate to SharePoint 2013 using "DOMAIN\Smith.John" you will not encounter the issue described above.

Is it possible Microsoft support to check and come with a patch for this issue?

Best regards,
Iftode Viorel

Hi everyone,

I setup everything on one machine - sharepoint server 2013 ,AD(synchronized with SP) and smtp server and try to receive emails on gmail account(s).

1) When I add alert on any list in central administration web application I receive mail to gmail that added alerts bla bla but do not receive alerts when I add new items

2) when I add alerts to list in normal web application I do not receive even notification of subscribing

Couple notices: I cannot see or edit email addres in "personal settings" in normal site collection  but can in central administration.

Also central administration is with windows authentification but normal web application with claim based.

Can anyone  help what to check or in which direction to dig?

thanks in advance

Where does sharepoint take the domain name from?

Hi!

We have just completed an upgrade from 2010 to 2013 and experiencing a weird issue with the domain name somehow not being recognized.

For instance:

Our domain name is "domain.local"

when I go to a user's details I see the in the account column:

c:0+.w|s-1-5-21-29812500-3243033545-702319832-11174

The "Name" column shows up just fine:

"domain\Username"

Our real issue is with alerts being sent from sharepoint,

in the SPS 2010 - we got alerts for every user changing it's picture, and the sharepoint changed the file name to the following form:

Domain_Username_LThumb.jpg has been changed 

but after the upgrade we recieve it in the following form:

temp_ABB55201username_LThumb.jpg has been added 

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thank you

SharePoint 2013, Excel and long URLs/FileNames

  • I have SharePoint 2010 and I going to update it to 2013. I deployed SP 2013 Server and mounted copy of SP 2010 database - everythink ok! Then, I mounted the same copy of SP 2010 to another web-application and upgrade site to 2013.
    After update, I found problem: some Excel files doesn't opens with error "long file name 218 characters etc."
    Yes, I use Cyrillic URLs and filenames, I use long paths and filenames, but I can't undertand: non updated DB works fine, updated DB works a half.
    Error message (sorry, in Russian):

    Systems with Office 2013 - file doesn't open.
    Systems with Office 2010 and "Office common components 2013" - file doesn't open.
    Systems with Office 2010 only - file opens fine.

    • Why Cyrillic symbols converts to UTF in upgraded to 2013 site? Russian "г" one symbol converts to %D0%B3 - six symbols; of course Cyrillic filename in 40 characters is out of any limits.

      Is there any solution? Or I have to forget the idea about upgrade site.

But when trying to install it on our Office Web Apps server (Windows Server 2012), I just a message that it can't be installed on this operating system or for this version of the application.

How do I install the hotfix or disable RTF content for the Word Web Apps server?

Hi there,

we are working on our "best practices" procedures for publishing SharePoint webs to the internet. Read/write access to information is via SSL/HTTPS. We are looking at publishing information to the internet and a primary question is: do we extend a web application to port 80 and allow anonymous access, or do we use a publishing site?

Good morning,

I have a large library with thousands of files that all have an Activity_Number & Doc_Classification.  Each Activity_Number should have multiple files with Doc_Classification's "1","2" & "3" etc.

For audit reasons, I'm trying to create a list where I can paste Activity_Numbers into a column and bring back a lookup from the library with columns for each Doc_Classification 1, 2, 3 with a Yes it exists or No it doesn't.

Is this possible out of the box? I've managed to do a lookup for that Activity_Number and it pulls just a random Doc_Classification, but how can I get it to grab all of them?

Please help!

Thank you!

Hi,

I was following this article http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee748631(v=office.15).aspx#provision in order to provision the BLOB Store for Content Database, in the step no.6 and the third SQL query, it is asking me to create a folder under “C” directory called ‘Blobstore’ which is on the same SQL server but here I would like to use some other remote server or network shared drive other than current SQL database server in order to provision ‘Blobstore’. Please advise if it is possible?

Just FYI my client is not ready to use any third party tools in order to do any configuration.<o:p></o:p>

Thanks in advance
