Hello -

I am in the process of testing my database and I received the error below.   I already have the Reporting Service Add-in installed on my application and web servers.   Can I continue the upgrade or should this get resolved before I mount the database?   thanks

I used to login to SharePoint 2013 Central Administration inside my VM that runs under windows server 2008 r2. But I have installed some third party tools and now when I try to login to the Central admin I will get the following error :-

Service Unavailable
HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.

I run the “SharePoint 2013 Products Configuration Wizard”, which mentioned that it reconfigure SharePoint successfully. But I am still getting the same above error.

Any idea on what is wrong?

Thanks

Hi, 

i Have a client where we are using SharePoint 2013 Labels to insert the Document Version number to the document footer.

i Have set the font size to 8 on the labels under document settings but in the document it gets added as a 11 and grayed out so you cant edit it.

This is a issue for the client. 

Any idea why this will happen?

Thanks!

Hello,

After migrating a SharePoint 2010 site to SharePoint 2013 and converting user accounts to Claims Based Authentication, some users can not access some sub-sites.

There is one particular site where a user can not access a site.  The user is in an Active Directory (AD) security group that is applied to the site with contribute permissions levels, and was able to access the sub-site when it was on SharePoint 2010, but not on SharePoint 2013.  The user can access many other sites in the site collection, but not this site.  

After the conversion to Claims Based, AD security groups in SharePoint now look like this.

 domain\sp - pbc - group - contributors (c:0+.w|s-1-5-21-2116618328-1633111315-19539831-13352) 

The user did have access to the when her user name was added directly to the site, but access is denied when using an AD security group. I have tried removing the security group and adding it back in, but no luck.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Paul

Hello,

I have created a synchronization connection and I can select users and groups in active directory that I want to synchronize and populate containers. When I start a full profile synchronization, no profiles are imported. I am using SharePoint 2013 SP1, Enterprise Edition.

In a SharePoint 2013 farm with a single server that includes PowerPivot components, application pools intermittently hang. This happens for the Central administration web app, the actual PowerPivot web app and a new web app I created for testing purposes. In the test web app, it does not seem to matter if I browse to a PowerPivot site collection or not.

I can detect the hang by looking at "Worker processes" in IIS or by using Resource monitor and checking for wait chains.

The hang usually happens in the SPWindowsClaimsAuthentication module (request goes out, no response comes in). I currently replicate it be performing application pool recycles (or stop/start cycles). It takes a different amount of cycles each time, but usually after a few, the hang occurs. Another cycle, and it disappears.

It seems that if the PowerPivot service application is not associated with the web app, this does not happen. All other aspects of the PowerPivot system work great as long as the application pool is not hang.

I tried to use Windbg, but the symbols I installed (I have no internet inside the prganization) do not seem to be compatible even though I downloaded the correct ones (the server is Windows 2008 R2 SP1, the web apps are all 64 bit). Either way, SOSEX finds no deadlocks and SOS find no locks.

The last thing I found is that if I change the SPWindowsClaimsAuthentication HttpModule configuration to include a precondition="managedHandler", it seems to make the issue go away in the test web app.

hi experts...

Hi team,

I am facing an issue in Blob cache. My application is showing incosistency across the farm. While the application is rendered correct from few server but from few it fails to render correct. If i disable Blob cache from web>config, It starts working correctly.

I tried disabling, Deleting and flushing but one or the other is creating issues. Only in disabled case it works fine with all server as the data is pulled from DB.

My config setting for BLOB in web.config.

<BlobCache location="D:\BlobCache\app" path="\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|jpe|jfif|bmp|dib|tif|tiff|themedbmp|themedcss|themedgif|themedjpg|themedpng|ico|png|wdp|hdp|css|js|asf|avi|flv|m4v|mov|mp3|mp4|mpeg|mpg|rm|rmvb|wma|wmv|ogg|ogv|oga|webm|xap|htc)$" maxSize="20" enabled="true" max-age="1200" />

Thanks Ba$va

So I have a registered domain name for my public facing SP Online site & everything looks fine ... Let's say for demo's sake it's "xyz.com" so the public facing web site can be reached athttp://www.xyz.com

I would like for the private side of the site to also be https://www.xyz.com/site/ ... but instead it's http://xyz.sharepoint.com/ ...

is there a way to change this?

thanks

Hi, 

I setup a SharePoint 2013 environment to Authenticate using ADFS 3.0 using domain credentials. The SharePoint site is working fine. I created another web application to host Apps and configured that to use the same STS provider (ADFS 3.0). But that is not working since I can't add a wildcard relying party in ADFS 3.0 (like https://*.myapps.com). As per the article http://nearbaseline.com/blog/2013/07/sharepoint-hosted-apps-with-saml-authentication/ using ADFS for identity federation is not possible for Apps.

Is there any solution/workaround to use ADFS 3.0 for SharePoint Apps.

Thanks,

I have setup and configured SharePoint 2013 user profiles in my development farm and the UPSS to import Active Directory user profiles, however, when I run the import job no user profiles are imported from AD. The job runs for a little over a minute and it appears it is cycling through all of the steps and finishes, but no profiles are actually imported. I have looked in the LOGS and cannot find any errors. Here are the steps I have done to configure the UPSA and UPSS:

• Created the UPSA using the farm_admin account
• Created a UPSS account using the farm_admin account and had the profile_sync account assigned "Replicating Changes" 
• The user profile service is running
• Then user profile synchronization is running
• The UPSA account is setup
• Our MySites is created 
• All 4 user profile databases are created
• The UPSA is associated with the web application
• The UPSS is also associated with the web application (I had to run a PowerShell script to attach it. I found the script here http://pinchii.com/home/2012/03/adding-services-to-default-application-proxy-group-in-sharepoint-2010/)

Some troubleshooting things I have run into include:

• the account did not have proper permissions (which I fixed by giving the profile_sync account "Replicating Changes")
• I originally ran into this issue when I removed several service applications and their app pools to re-create them under a single application pool. My intent was to reduce the workload on the server by reducing the pools. When I re-created the User Profile Service Application I started running into these issues.
• I read a blog that said the User Profile SA will not work unless the Managed Metadata SA is already setup. So I added the Managed Metadata SA also, however, it did not fix the issue.

When I am configuring the User Profile Connections, I am using the farm account (which works) and populating the containers. This process appears to work fine, however, after I choose a test group (using my department as a test) and then completing this section to start the synchronization … no user profiles get added.

I am stumped. Are there any steps I have missed or configuration settings that are required for UPSA and sync that I have not setup yet? Any ideas? 

Thank you,

Alex

SharePoint Server 2013 -

I am getting an error for users trying to create mysites after enabling license mapping feature.   I enabled it because users were able to add Enterprise webparts which we only purchased the standard edition license.    Now users aren't able to create mysites and I am getting this error: 
"Skipping creation of personal site from MySitePersonalSiteUpgradeOnNavigationWebPart::CreatePersonalSite() because one or more of the creation criteria has not been met. [SPWeb Url=https://my.com/Person.aspx?accountname=Domain\user]  https://my.com/Person.aspx?accountname=Domain\userr]Self-Service Site Creation == True  Can Create Personal Site == False  Is user licensed == False  :

I have added a mapping of "Standard" for a security group this user belongs to but still getting the same error.   Do you need to enable Enterprise for users to create Mysites?  That doesn't seem to make sense.   Any ideas?

I am trying to upgrade a site collection which has SSRS reports in it. When I run Test-SPContentDatabase with database of SP2010 and the new web application of 2013 I obtain the errors:

SSRS are configured in both farms (2010 and 2013). In 2010 farm is SSRS 2008 R2. In the environment of 2013 farm is SSRS 2012.

Any idea?

Hello forum,

Appreciate your thoughts on this unusual problem that I've discovered in my SharePoint 2013 event log.

In looking back through my SharePoint logs, they're filled with nothing but 'High' level entries whose descriptions all start with 'Forced due to logging gap'. I can't find anything to help identify what's happening here.

Hello Community!

I have a SharePoint 2013 install with all databases installed to the C drive, (no real content yet), I know need to move all those databases to the D drive which has been designated for data - what is the best way to do this?  Please provide guidance and script examples.

Thanks!
