We have a brand new SharePoint 2013 farm which we just put into production. As users have begun creating their My Sites, the My Sites web application database changed to a status of "Database is up to date, but some sites are not completely upgraded." Huh?

Prior to deploying to production, we had some test users that had created My Sites, and everything was fine. The database status was "No action required".

Anyone know why the creation of My Sites would cause the database status to flip to this warning?

Hi. I get this error every 30 minutes.

The server websvr-backend HAS BEEN REMOVED from this farm for several days. The search service application is removed and recreated on the new server. In Search Application Topology, only the new server is listed. How can I remove the ghost setting?

Thanks.

Hi,

We have 3-tire Architecture of SharePoint 2013(APP Server,WFE Server and SQL Server).I have configured User Profile Synchronization service in APP Server it is working and According to our requirement I have to configure one more User Profile Synchronization service for another Domain.By following below link I have configured secound UPS.

http://arindamchat.blogspot.in/2012/11/how-to-create-multiple-user-profile.html

But In Profile Synchronization status it is in "Synchronization" mode only for hours.

And I have gone through the Event Viewer in that i was facing following error.

The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileImportJob (ID ff8f5626-9d40-4fd7-b3f1-f09a1080e701) threw an exception. More information is included below.

The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA)

Again to solve this issues i have followed the following Link.

http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/42830/user-profile-incremental-synchronization-timer-job-runs-on-wrong-server

But still i was facing the same error and Profile Synchronization status is still "Synchronization".

Could any one give me the solution to move further steps.

Thanks in Advance.

Hello,

I have multiple sharepoint web applications with different ports.

I want to have each of these applications appear as a sub-URL of the default web application on port 80.

For example I have the default application at http://blah999.net  for green groceries and I have a second applicationhttp://blah999.net:12345   that contains only information about apples.

I want http://blah999.net:12345 to appear athttp://blah999.net/apples .

Can this be accomplished via alternate access mappings?

If is there any other way to do this?

Is it possible?

Thanks

hi -

My SharePoint environment consists on one APP server (SPAPP1), one WFE (SPWEB1), and one search server(SPSR1).

In Search Administration, the APP server only shows up under Search Application Topology.  I don't recall setting this, but I assume this was by default?   What is the easiest way to change this to the new search server? 

I am looking at this link, but it is confusing me.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj862356

Do I only create one command?

$hostA = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance -Identity "SPSR1"
Start-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance -Identity $hostA

Tags and Notes or keywords entered on SP 2010 (14 mode) sites in a 2013 SP1 farm are showing the HTML in the newsfeed web part.

Has anyone else seen this?

Hi there,

I am running into trouble installing Sharepoint 2013 Foundation SP1 *(download link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=42039) onto a new Server 2012 R2 Datacentre Eval for trying out.

Firstly, is this the correct install I am using? I note the Service Pack download alone is over 1.3 GB whereas that file is 845 MB?

From what i have read this is a supported config but when i try and use the built in prereq installer I am running into: this tool was unable to install the Application Server Role, Web Server (IIS) Role.

The Application Server/IIS roles are installed and running already so I am kind of stuck, any pointers?

Thanks

Hi,

With a 3 tier farm, what type of setup is best to utilize for credential passing, the C2WTS or Kerberos?  What type of web app auth would be best?

The reason I ask is because we are seeing issues where sometimes users are getting access denied when accessing SQL (during impersonation) as they are showing up as NT AUTHORITY\IUSR and we also see this error in ULS from our search service account and various users.

"Could not retrieve a valid windows identity for username 'domain\user' with UPN 'user@domain.com'.

No windows identity for domain\user'

Some facts about the farm:

1. Nothing fancy going on, no external services or external content types, just the usual services, user profile, mysite and search.
2. Auth currently configured as Claims w/ NTLM
3. Single web app that is exposed externally
4. Apache reverse proxy to route external traffic and to be used as load balancer (could use Server2012 load balancer if needed)
   

I've read the guides on how to troubleshoot that error message but I'm more interested in the answer to which authentication and credential passing schema would be best in my scenario.  It doesn't seem like Kerberos is necessary due to the simplicity of the farm but we will change if needed.

Thanks

hello. thanks for the time.

I am having some difficulty in understanding how SP 2013 incoming mail service runs... it seems as though it has taken a step backwards from SP 2010.  in SP2010 one was able to have multiple servers running the smtp service to handle email.  now in SP2013 only one server can be configured to run the email service.  

http://www.sharepointpitstop.com/2013/09/incoming-email-stuck-in-drop-folder.html

http://thesharepointfarm.com/2013/04/incoming-email-service-job-lock-type-change-between-sharepoint-2010-and-2013

It seems as though the timer job for job-email-delivery is set to 'SPJobLockType.Job' that tells SP to only take one server for mail. However in SP2010 the timer job for job-email-delivery is set to 'SPJobLockType.None' which allows multiple servers to run the service for mail.  

SP 2013 had a supposed hotfix in December: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2837677/en-us ... but this hasn't helped.  this was supposed to change it from .Job to .None.  didn't work.  Service Pack1 for SP2013 hasn't helped either. when you try to install the hotfix it says it is already installed.   When you do:

get-sptimerjob | ? {$_.LockType -eq "Job"} | format-table -wrap -autosize

job-email-delivery still shows up as a .Job type.  

so where is this fix? why have we gone backwards? we process hundreds of emails per minute and this worked without issue as it was loaded balanced between multiple servers in SP2010 but this cannot be accomplished in SP2013.

Am I misssing something ...? some update? hotfix? possibly edit the dll file?

any and all help is appreciated. thanks.

Why the heck is there a Create button and Not a Delete button????!!!!!!!

And don't even get me started on the horrible documentation for Remove-SPProfileSyncConnection.

Worst example ever!!!!

I've told a managed account to change it's password Monthly, starting at 2am and no later than 3am on the 7th of the month.  When I click ok, the password then changes automatically.  Then the next password change date is the next day, exactly 24 hours from the last change.  Not monthly like I'm specifying.  Occasionally I get object reference error and have to fix it by running the following commands:

$acct = Get-SPManagedAccount "<DOMAIN>\<UserName>"
$acct.AutomaticChange = $false
$acct.Update()

Am I missing something in the setup?  Why is it doing the password changes daily instead on the schedule I'm requesting?

I set up a new Hosted Apps configuration using a separate dedicates domain name with a wildcard certificate.  Everything works fine for HTTP access but when I access via HTTPS I just get a "An unexpected error has occurred" message in the browser.

I updated IIS binding for HTTPS and added the wildcard certificate for a dedicated IP address.  I'm not sure what else to do.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Jim

I have spun up a clean SharePoint 2013 site, and when I go to view the page the page prompts for the normal windows authentication. But when I put in valid account information, it fails 3 times then just denies the page load.

I can't seem to figure out why it's not accepting the credientials. I have even created up another web application just to test it. Same thing, prompts for the account but never approves of it.

I'm running 2012 R2 servers and 2012 AD servers.

Any thoughts?

I have several Web Applications on a SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Trial (no Enterprise Features Enabled) 

I have Created a new SharePoint 2013 Standard Server/Farm.

On the Old server I Dismounted the Content DB form the Web Application.

On New Server I ran the Command: (which is the same command I used to create on the Trial Server)

New-SPWebApplication –name "SP - E - host.header.com" –Port 80 -HostHeader host.header.com -URL "http://host.header.com" -DatabaseName WSS_Content_def_host.header.com –ApplicationPool "Sharepoint - host.header.com80" –ApplicationPoolAccount (Get-SPManagedAccount "Domain\AppPoolAccount")

I then Dismounted the default Content DB: WSS_Content_def_host.header.com 

Get-SPContentDatabase -WebApplication 'SP - E - host.header.com' | Dismount-SPContentDatabase 

Then mounted the Existing Content DB from the Trial Web Application:

Mount-SPContentDatabase -Name WSS_Content_13_host.header.com -WebApplication 'SP - E - host.header.com' 

My Local Hosts File has a entry in it for host.header.com pointing to the Local Server IP.

When I access http://host.header.com, It asks for a Username and Password, when I put the Proper Creds in I get Access Denied. 

Is there a better way to Export the WebApplicaiton settings/config and then Import it on the new server but not copy any Content?

I'm running the Sharepoint 2013 Products and Technology Configuration Wizard and its failing after step 7/8 giving me the following error:

One or more configuration settings failed.

Failed to create sample data.

An exception of type System.NullReferenceException was thrown.  Additional exception information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

And here is the detail in the event log,

Please help... thanks in advance.............

Hi everyone

I have a problem on SharePoint 2013 Foundation. I cannot upload xlsm Excel files  (excel with Macro) on a document library. I can upload through Windows Explorer but then the file becomes corrupted. Normal Excel and other file formats can be normaly uploaded.

I appreciate every help.

We have a perfectly working SharePoint 2013 server, but the eventviewer is flooded with the following error: "

I have created a virtual machine and configured SharePoint environment for the trail period on my windows 7 machine. I am able to do the Remote desktop connection from my host machine and access my SharePoint sites from the host machine browsers.

But when I try to access the apps created for SharePoint, it shows the page cannot be found. I am able to access the same App for the same user in the SharePoint server but not its host machine.

I have added this App domain to the intranet zone of host machine and to the server.

Could you pls suggest me what I am missing?

Thanks Sandy (MCTS, MCP)
