Hello All,

We are seeing some strange behaviour with a SharePoint 2013 SP1 farm. This Farm has been running for a while but is still in pre-production at the moment.

The issue we are seeing is the DSN key in the registry in this location

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\15.0\secure\ConfigDB.

is being changed from this

Data Source=SPPRDAlias;Initial Catalog=SPPRD_Config;Integrated Security=True;Enlist=False;Pooling=True;Min Pool Size=0;Max Pool Size=100;Connect Timeout=45

to this

Connect Timeout=45

Obviously SharePoint stops working on the server until we edit the registry and put the correct key back.

The Farm has 4 servers, 2 are acting as Web Servers and 2 as Application servers, it only seems to be the web servers that are affected at the moment.

I am unaware of any group policy setting that is causing this.

We are migrating the sites from SP2010 to SP2013 and we found following behaviour changed. Anyway we can solve it?

In SP2010 - User open a document library and then open a subfolder. In the subfolder he click "Documents" at ribbon bar -> "New Document" -> New Page. After he type in the page name and other attributes, he click "create". The new page is saved and the browser return to the subfolder directory.

In SP2013 - User open document library and then open a subfolder. After he create the new page as mentioned abvove and click "create", the browser return to theroot directory.

It is quite frustrated since he cannot see the new created file nor the directory. Anyway we can change the behaviour?

I have checked many posts and Binged and Googled far and wide and I still can't seem to find an answer to the User Profile Synchronization Service. I will start off with some of the things I have tried and already checked and then move into the error message I am receiving in the Logs. User Profile Service runs, it is just the User Profile Synchronization Service that I cannot get to start. I appreciate any an all help.

Environment Information

• SharePoint 2013 SP1 - Enterprise.
• All Windows Servers are running Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard.
• We are running in a SharePoint Farm configuration with 6 servers, 2 Front end, 2 Application, and 2 Cache.
• User Profile Service runs on the Cache1 server, this is also where I am attempting to provision profile synchronization.

Steps checked

• User Profile Service Application has correct permissions on the Database as well as any and all rights on the server planning to run the Profile Synchronization Service. The account is part of the local administrators group and has all proper DCOM permissions that I have checked against various other posts.
• I have completely rebuilt User Profile Service Application from the ground up three times in case it was something that was wrong in the build process.
• I have verified that the application account is provided with the correct username and password, I have successfully logged into the server that is to receive the provisioned service.
• I have checked the SQL permissions and have also had our SQL Administrator check them as well, all looks correct.
• I can manually start the ForeFront Identity Manager Synchronization Service.
• I am unable to manually start the ForeFront Idenitity Manager Service, this crashes on launch with: (I also attempted to look up the error and resolve it and was unable to find anything that worked.

When provisioning the service, the process makes it to configuring the ILM database, after which it fails with the following errors:

Although my colleagues are site owners, they cannot upload files in one specific library (other libraries they can).

What might be this problem. Has anyone encountered it? Please help.

Hi

On one of my site collections, I am having this issue.  any User (site owners) with full control but got "Sorry, you don't have access to this page" when access Site Settings - Site permission page.

But this only happen when Access Request Settings is set.  If it is not set then it seem to work fine.

Thanks for any advice or solution to this.

Hello,

I am having a very weird problem that just started out of no where. It happens when I go to the Site Settings of my site collection and click on Site Permissions. When I click Grant Permissions to try to add users, the browser will immediately switch to the mobile view.

I am able to switch back to the regular browser view, then when I click Grant Permissions, the box to select the user opens. I then choose the user and click Share. After clicking Share, the popup immediately goes to the mobile view. When I exit that the users were never granted permissions.

This only happens so far when I am trying to add permissions. Is there something that I could have messed up?

What is happening and how can I fix this? I am out of ideas and unable to add permissions for users. I do not want to have to blow this site collection away.

Thanks.

Hi we are currently deploying a SharePoint Farm into the DMZ that requires no user login. Basically a publishing site.

Our idea is to place the two WFE's in the perimeter network and then open the appropriate firewalls to allow communication to AD in the internal network.

Is this a good idea? or is there a best practice for this type of topology?

Hi,

When downloading an atomsvc file from a SharePoint list and trying to open it in PowerPivot, I review the following error message:

"The following exception occurred while the managed IDbCommand interface was being used: The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive.;Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host."

Has anyone seen something like this before? Suggestions on where we should look? Thanks so much!

Hi I m just a SharePoint Beginner and need some assistance to solve an issues.

Issue 1:

I am currently using SharePoint Server 2013, and every time I try to do certain function like for instance editing a user or clicking on something it come up a page with this error.

Correlation ID: 8630ac9c-fa85-0044-f878-c4f935f18544

Hi,

Hope all are you doing well.

I have one web application in which I have two external sites

1. Mydomain.co.uk -internet zone

2. mydomain.com-intranet zone

And

I have two certificates available with me which am purchased for this two external website.

1. Mydomain.co.uk

2. Mydomain.com

Problem:

I can only able to apply one certificate on port 443(Mydomain.co.uk).

Both the sites (Mydomain.co.uk, mydomain.com) are fetching the certificate which is applied on 443 ports (https)

Therefore only one site is working fine (the certificate which is assign to port 443, only that site will work).

So initially I have applied mydomain.co.uk certificate on 443 then mydomain.co.uk site is working fine and mydomain.com is having a Certificate error (it is pointing to mydomain.co.uk certificate.)

These certificates issued by Certificate Authority.

I have also tried by creating an extended web application but no success.

Note : I have a single ip address.

I have another query for single sign on with ADFS and SharePoint 2013.

WE have a client who has claims in SAML 2.0 format. AS SharePoint does not accept SAML 2.0 we are using ADFS to pass 1.1 token to SharePoint 2013.

WE know that ADFS accept SAML 2.0 token.

My question is will ADFS accept 2.0 token as incoming claim request from client and send it to SharePoint 2013 as 1.1 token?

We are successful in ADFS to sharepoint 2013 with email as incoming claim now the big question is whether ADFS will transform 2.0 to 1.1.

Please advise.

A little background information.  I am simply trying to create a SharePoint Server on my laptop.  I utilized the Microsoft Hyper-V Manager to create a Virtual Machine of which I have Windows Server 2012 R2 running.  I have installed the SharePoint prerequisites via some power shell scripts that all seemed to have worked and I believe i even updated the server with all updates to date.  

However, when I run the SharePoint Products Configuration i get a failure at step 10 of 10.  I am a SharePoint developer and power user not an administrator for Windows Server.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

We all know Site owners can set up the access request feature so that it sends them an email when someone requests access to a site.

But what about the other side of it. Can we configure if/how an email is sent to the requestor (not the site owner)??

Any thoughts on this???

Hello,

Is-it possible to apply a workflow to all documents (site and subsites) ?

I created a reusable workflow who works well in just one site for now but i would like to apply it on each futur subsite created automatically by powershell. 

I'm currently trying wsp package deployment for each subsites but when i try to manually associate the workflow to a list, i do not see it in "Select Workflow Template"

Powershell part for adding wsp + association to list

#Include the additional dll references required

#open the web
$web = Get-SPWeb "http://site/subsite"
#list to which the workflow is to be associated
$list=$web.Lists["List"];
#create workflow association object
$culture=new-object System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US");
$basetemplate = $web.WorkflowTemplates.GetTemplateByName("Workflow test",$culture);
$wftasklist=$web.Lists["Workflow Tasks"];
$wfhistorylist=$web.Lists["Workflow History"];
$wfAssoc=[Microsoft.SharePoint.Workflow.SPWorkflowAssociation]:: CreateListAssociation($basetemplate,"list",$wftasklist,$wfhistorylist);

Recently I have Installed SharePoint SP1 (15.0.4571.1502)

I have Create a New Web application and SC with BI Center Template.

Activated the Report Server integration feature and deployed PowerPivot Web Application Solution. Now When I wanted to Add SSRS Content types to Data Connections Library, I cannot see them. They are missing in Site content Types. Link :New WebApplication

However I was able to add Report Data Source by copying the Create Report Data Source Link from the Old Site Address and Replaced with Current Site and was able to save it to the Data Connections library. Still cant see the content Types. Link:New Web Application Content

I have old BI center Web Site which has SSRS Content types. This was created before installing the SharePoint SP1, they are still visible and I can add or remove them. Link:Old Web Application

Not sure if the SharePoint 213 SP1 has a Bug or if I am doing something wrong

Thanks

Hi,

does anybody know what SRM_Search_Index is? I assume its related to SharePoint but it's not a database I have ever heard of before.

Hi,
I have upgrated a sitecollection from 2010 to 2013.
I don't get "Add a Page" link from settings Gear-
Pls suggest- http://portal/site1/_layouts/15/createwebpage.aspx  -manually I can create page-but link is not visible
(this is independent of publishing feature -option)

After following the video series on how to install and Configure Workflow Manager into SharePoint 2013 http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn201724(v=office.15).aspx, I get to the 'Configure Certificates' section in the Workflow Manager Configuration:  I browse to our wildcard certificate and select it.

When I try to move to the next page of the configuration wizard, I get the following red error under the certificate:

Certificate with thumbprint LONG STRING does not have a private key.

I checked the properties of the certificate, and it says: You have a private key that corresponds to this certificate.

What am I missing??

Thank you.
