Hello,

We've implemented SharePoint 2013 for internal and external domain users. We setup all users in our AD but the external users have their own company email addresses. Now, all of our users i.e. Internal DC users and External DC users can access and perform their work on SharePoint portal. However, External users are unable to receive any alerts.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance!

HI,

Is the smtp server on my iis server is enough to send mails from sharepoint (alerts for example)

or does the smtp only relay the mail to exchange or other mail provider ?

If my site is open to the internet and some of my users updated their mail adress in their profile with a Gmail adress, Will they get the sharepoint alert to their Gmail account ?

thanks

Hi, 

i Need to find out if the following is possible:

Client has got SharePoint 2013 Enterprise

SQL Server 2012 Standard

They want PowerPivot and Powerview.

Can i add a 3rd server, add it to the farm and install SQL Server 2012 Enterprise or BI on it to get the Power-pivot functionality or do i need to upgrade the SQL Server 2012 Standard as-well?

Thanks.

Hello,

I'm having problem with starting/stopping Distributed Cache service in one of the SharePoint 2013 farm servers. Initially, Distributed Cache was enabled in all the farm servers by default and it was running as a cluster. I wanted to remove it from all hosts but one (APP server) using below PowerShell commands, which worked fine.

Stop-SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance -Graceful
Remove-SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance

But later I attempted to add the service back to two hosts (WFE servers) using below command and unfortunately one of them got stuck in the process. When I look at the Services on Server from Central Admin, the status says "Starting".

Add-SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance

Also, when I execute below script, the status says "Provisioning".

Get-SPServiceInstance | ? {($_.service.tostring()) -eq "SPDistributedCacheService Name=AppFabricCachingService"} | select Server, Status

I get "cacheHostInfo is null" error when I use "Stop-SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance -Graceful".

I tried below script,

$instanceName ="SPDistributedCacheService Name=AppFabricCachingService" 
$serviceInstance = Get-SPServiceInstance | ? {($_.service.tostring()) -eq $instanceName -and ($_.server.name) -eq $env:computername}
$serviceInstance.Unprovision()
$serviceInstance.Delete()

,but it didn't work either, and I got below error.

"SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance", could not be deleted because other objects depend on it.  Update all of these dependants to point to null or 
different objects and retry this operation.  The dependant objects are as follows: 
SPServiceInstanceJobDefinition Name=job-service-instance-{GUID}

Has anyone come across this issue? I would appreciate any help.

Thanks!

I have configured a My Site Host on my server using just the server name and the port number (Ex: MyServerName:8080).

In addition, I have configured Alternate Access Mappings for my My Site Web Application as http://myservername.contoso.com:8080

However, when I attempt to access MySites, I can only access it via http://myservername:8080.  If I attempt to access it via the FQDN configured in AAM, I get an HTTP 400 Bad Request error message.

I am totally confused as to why this occurs because I was able to set up AAM for my main Web Application (hosting all of my site collections running on port 80) with no such issues.

Please advise as to what might be causing this problem.

Thanks.

I'm attempting to publish User Profile Services from a SharePoint 2013 Farm, to another SharePoint 2013 Farm, and a SharePoint 2010 Farm.

I already have Search, Managed Metadata, and Business Data Connectivity services published to each farm, and they appear to be working fine.  My only issue appears to be UPS, even though I do get a lot of topology errors related to the MMS service.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I followed the instructions provided at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff621100%28v=office.15%29.aspx. 

Instead of granting the Farm ID Access to the UPS Service Application, I granted the specific Application Pool accounts for each web application.

Also, I granted each consuming Web App, Application Pool account SPDataAccess role on the MySite Content DB.

I do not see the 'Newsfeed' ribbon at the top, and when attempting to 'follow' I get the following error:

On the front end server, I'm recieving tons of the following error:

We have a small three server SharePoint 2013 Enterprise farm installed on our network. All servers on the farm are virtualized running on Hyper-V host and all are running Windows Server 2012 r2. The SQL server is running 2012 BI edition. 

Spec for the machines are:

• SQL Server - 28GB  RAM, 6 Virtual Processors (2.8 Ghz AMD's)
• SharePoint Server - 24 GB RAM, 6 Virtual Processors (2.8 Ghz AMD's)
• DC - 4GB Ram, 2 Virtual Processors (2.8 Ghz AMD's)
• Each have 200GB partitions on a RAID5 running 15k drives

We are running a concurrent SharePoint 2007 Foundation site that has no speed problems at all, same network but running on an different 2005 SQL server. 

Currently we are experiencing serious lag time for the 2013 site pages to load. When you first pull up the page, it takes 3 to 5 minutes for the initial load. Once you have loaded a page once, then it runs fast for the rest of the browsing session. It's only that initial load that really slows to a snails pace. 

We don't have any issues showing in the SharePoint health analyzer and nothing obvious I can find in the logs at to the cause of the problem. I know this is like finding a needle in a haystack, but I'm at a loss so I'm turning to the experts! If anyone has tips on places I should start looking I would really appreciate it. 

Thank you in advance. 

I am able not able to connect to Central Admin using Http: //server name:port number , from client machine, but am able to connect to Central admin using Http: //IP Address:Port after I provide my login name and password.  When I ping the server name, from the client machine, it resolves to IP address correctly. I have added http:// Server name:Port to the intranet site in IE. and have proper Farm admin credentials.

Any recommendations?

Hello Community

    When Sharepoint 2010 Server is setup as a 2 server/server farm and everything is working

How can I find what path it is looking for so I can fix the path? I am getting this error on all of my app servers. I have checked all my app pools inside of all my app servers and none of them have any sort of maximum. Some do have times set but nothing even close to a max.

Hi

After provisioning my site portal I realized the people from my team are auto followed.

I wanted to stop that and delete all the existing auto followed associations ?

I tried Permission for the User Profile application and realized it doesn't affect the existing associations.

Do I need to change the policy called "Auto-Follow People from team" ? Is so could someone give me how to do that ? I tried but I couldn't get it to work.

Thanks a lot,

Hello all,

I am trying to get the Mobile View to work in SharePoint Foundation 2013. When I access the site on any phone it gives me the following error:

"Cannot complete this action. Please try again."

The URL it forwards me to is "http://<sitecollectionurl>/_layouts/15/mobile/mblwpa.aspx?Url=%2Fdefault%2Easpx

So it seems to me like it's working, but there's something wrong with the template. The template has definitely never been modified.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Vinny
