hello,
I tried everything to get email alerts, but emails are not coming. I tried changing port number in IIS6 . I followed and saw many different articles on net to configure outgoing email settings. I followed the article here in the link "http://www.delphi-ts.com/blogs/lozzi/post/2011/02/09/Sending-SharePoint-emails-through-alternate-ports.aspx" , still emails are not coming. What am I missing here?
Please help

Hi
I have upgraded my site from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013. The page layout inherited Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PubishingLayoutPage. So pages are getting displayed without assigned page layout. Kindly provide me the difference between SP 2010 and SP 2013 Publishing Layout page and also the way to solve this issue.
Thanks

Hi All, I am facing a tricky situation in my SharePoint farm. We have a SQL 2012 Standard Edition (not the SP1) and SharePoint 2013 farm running. we have created an excel file with power pivot charts along with the slicers. I uploaded it to the document library in SharePoint and then I created a site page, in that site page I inserted a excel web access web part and i am trying to refer it to the excel file chart which is having slicer. I am getting an error saying "The WorkBook Cannot be opened".
I had to a doubt if this is bcoz of the slicer. I then removed the slicer from the PowerPivot Excel chart and then uploaded the excel file on to sharepoint and tried to open it through the excel web service web part. this time it worked. the only difference was , this time I removed the slicer. can any body help me to know as to what could be the problem?
Thanks in advance.!

Hi all,
We just set up https for our sharepoint and when we go to it we get the webpage cannot be found
HTTP works fine.
We have bindings set and the cert set within the binding of IIS
the AAM is set with http as the default and the https as the internet
Is there something else I am missing?
Hi Everyone,
I have installed SharePoint 2013 over Single Server with built in DB. Server uses Windows Server 2008 & SQL Server2008. SharePoint installed correctly and it is running well.
Now, I need to install Project Server 2013, so I installed its required updated, its prerequisites, then installed it. After installation, Configuration wizard started, but it failed with following error info:-
What is the reason of that error and how to solve this problem?

Hi, our company recently moved our sharepoint hosting onto the cloud, office 365, but we still keep TFS 2012 server in house.
Is that possible if they still can be integrated? Looking around, it doesn't seem to be possible, is that right?
If yes, can we still use the "Provided-Host" option in sharepoint to connect b/w TFS 2012 and sharepoint 365 indisplaying excel from in Sharepoint with TFS data?
Can someone please provide some hints or idea?
Thx.
Hi there,
I have just successed to install Sharepoint 2013 under SQL Server 2012 Standard + Reporting Services Sharepoint Integration Mode and separate Database Machine for the Data Warehouse installed with SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition + Tabular + Reporting Services Sharepoint Integration Mode.
The Sharepoint 2013 is already integrated with PowerPivot, Reporting Sevices, and PowerView. All related services on Sharepoint seems running well (all services already started):
However, when I want to create a Power View report, it show the following error :"The feature: "Power View" is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services.".
Any idea, how to resolve this?
Thanks,

Windows Server 2012:
SMTP and the associated management tools are deprecated. Though the functionality is still available in Windows Server 2012, you should begin using System.Net.Smtp. With this API, you will not be able to insert a message into a file for pickup; instead configure
Web applications to connect on port 25 to another server using SMTP.
Question:
If this is the case, is there a TechNet article that has instructions for installing/using incoming email on a SharePoint 2013 web front end?
What I know:
Why do we install deprecated features http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263260 (Plan incoming email for a SharePoint farm in SharePoint 2013) to make this work?
What to do:
I want to use the basic scenario for incoming email, but with the information above about Windows Server it looks rather like idiotic to follow those directions in the TechNet article.
How to do this:
"... instead configure Web applications to connect on port 25 to another server using SMTP." Huh? Oh stupid me!
Thoughts???
NOTE: We do use Exchange for incoming email.

So I'm at a bit of a loss here. I just installed a fresh install of SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise Edition and got it up and running. I created a new root Site Collection and everything seemed to be going well. My spFarm and spAdmin accounts can access everything just fine, as can the rest of my team that I had try and log in. But when I try my own personal account on the network (which I've added as a site collection administrator), I get an error that says "Sorry, something went wrong - an unexpected error has occured" after I enter my login credentials. But with that same account, I can log in to the SharePoint Administration Console with no problems. I also have a SharePoint 2010 server set up that I can log in to with this account no problem (both any site collection and the admin console).
I already double checked my permissions and everything seems to be in order. And to clarify, I'm not getting an access denied or 404. It's just a generic SharePoint error page after it accepts my login information. The error is the same regardless of whether I log in via the server machine or from another computer on the network. And again, no other accounts that have access are having this issue - they can all access the site just fine. Any ideas?
Hello, if you've seen my questions, you know I am at a very basic level of administration and basically just the ECM side. We have custom content hubs that are published from the hub to 3 site collections. Right now, all content types are 'Read Only' which eliminates anyone making changes to our column fields without knowing or working around our governance.
We do not use designer. It is turned off.
The problem we have is that users are encouraged to use columns and custom views to oranize and filter their libraries. BUT, if the content type is read only, the library-level custom columns are not visable during the upload of a file and populated our required metadata. The columns can be seen with views but are not easy to populate. Going to a spreadsheet view is not easy to navigate or populate.
We want to 'turn off' the read only so that content types can have the custom columns added. This allows a user to populate metadata field that are required by our goverenance plan as well as custom fields they have added to their library. This has been testing in our TEST environment but content types were never read only in that environment.
Question- if we changed the setting to content types in PRODUCTION, what technical issues will this cause? Are there other implications I don't know that will cause problems with publishing from the Hub?
We use the content hub because its ease to push down changes to the site collections so I don't want to change this setting at the local site collection leven and then republish from the hub later and have the hub override our local changes.
Has anyone experienced this or know changed content types to NOT ready only in the content hub will cause other problems?
I'm trying to create a new site in MOSS 2013 running on a Server 2012 VM, with the SQL 2012 on a 2008 R2 VM. I get an error page when creating the new web application, but SharePoint seems to create it just fine. I get an error trying to create site content. I use the correlation ID to cull info from the SharePoint log, but it's way too long to post here. I'll happily send it along to somebody, but they don't allow attachments on this post, and I don't want to cut it down for fear of cutting something important.
Most lines have to do with w3wp.exe (and a lot of "UserAgent not Available" messages) and the rest are OWSTIMER.exe messages.
I can't make heads or tails of the log (it's over 4700 lines just for one correlation ID).
Thanks
The SQL Database that sharepoint looks for , for the central admin, seems to have been deleted or is otherwise missing from the SQL server.
SQL Database 'SharePoint_AdminContent_27eede31-4c6f-4dae-b014-757ae29072de' on SQL Server instance 'srvspssql13' not found. Additional error information from SQL Server is included below.
Cannot open database "SharePoint_AdminContent_27eede31-4c6f-4dae-b014-757ae29072de" requested by the login. The login failed.
Login failed for user 'PMRG\svcSPSFarm13'.
When I go into the SQL DB I can not find our SharePoint_admin_content DB... with the same GUID... I found the old DB for SPS2010 but different GUID #'s
Any ideas on what to do can I reinstall the Central Admin?
If I can't reinstall the Central Admin How do I recover the DBs?
the sites are working everything seems to be fine just there is no central admin site... it throws a 404 error and the application log says thee is no DB for the CA.
I'm not the person who is the DBA, and I'm not the person who decided to install on a VM, which I already know is not best practice for SharePoint.
So how do we resolve this???
forget it. I quit.

I have an account that we recently discovered has Farm Administrator rights and was used to access Central Admin and cause some harm. When I use the "Check Permissions" on the Central Admin site, it says that account has Full Control via the Farm Administrators Group. However, that account is not in the Farm Adminstrators group.
There is an entry in the Farm Administrators group for "BUILTIN\Administrators" and this account is in the Local Admin group on this server. However, there are other accounts in the Local Admin group too, and when I "Check Permissions" for them, it returns 'None'.
I am confused as to how this one account has Farm Administration level access, while others in Local Admin do not, and how can I remove this accounts Farm Administration rights if it is NOT in the Farm Adminstrators Group?
What are the potential problems/issues if I remove the "BUILTIN\Administrators" entry from the Farm Adminstrators Group?
Thanks in advance for any feedback/help.
We have SharePoint 2013 and a Windows 2008 R2 Active Directory domain and forest. What I would like to do is allow our HR group to update employee job titles in our corporate intranet, running SharePoint 2013, and have those job titles be imported into Active Directory.
Right now AD is updating SharePoint successfully but I need SharePoint to be able to update AD. I have tried following some of the Tech Net documentation I have found but no luck. SharePoint is set to export settings, but no luck.
For those of you who have set this up, can you refer me to the steps that worked for you? Or, if you went another route and purchased a SharePoint 2013 Add-In, can you point me in that direction?
Thanks!
Hi,
I am currently trying to migrate our SharePoint 2010 environment to SharePoint 2013. The first thing I'm doing is creating a 2013 development environment to verify that this migration goes smoothly. I'm also doing this so that we will have a testing environment after the upgrade to 2013 is complete.
So here is my question: I have a 3 tier farm including; 1 app server, 1 wfe, and 1 sql server. I have made a copy of our SharePoint 2010 database and installed that on our sql server 2012 sever (This new environment is on 3 completely separate servers from our 2010 environment). I have also installed the prereqs and configured SharePoint 2013 on the App server and wfe servers, as well as configuring the necessary service applications (I have created a completely new 2013 database where I will migrate my 2010 database content when I'm ready).
I am now at the point where I need to create a new web application on the 2013 app server, where I will be migrating the copied 2010 database. (Also note that we have a 2010 development site called https://devserver@blank.com)
When I go to create a new web application in our 2013 dev environment, can I use the same url (https://devserver@blank.com) to create this web app, or will this screw up our current 2010 dev environment?
I'm new to SharePoint migrations, so I apologize if this is a stupid question.
Thanks in advance for any insight you can share on this!

We are planning to upgrade SP 2010 environment to SP 2013 but the requirement is that the UI shouldn't change. What is the process of upgrading all the sites and custom solutions keeping the 2010 UI. In this case, does the custom solutions remain in 14hive or can they be upgraded to 15hive/2013.
Thanks in advance.
In my reading to learn more about App for SharePoint 2013, I see these listed as they types of Apps
The last one I can eliminate since I am not use office 365
What is the differece between the first two
If my setup is a SharePoint Farm and a seperate IIS server to host the apps, is this a SharePoint hosted app?
thanks
