Search Service upgrade: could I potentially lose all my content?

$
0
0

In the TechNet library entryCopy databases to the new farm for upgrade to SharePoint 2013,” (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj839720(v=office.15).aspx) in regards to the upgrading of search service applications from SharePoint 2010 to 2013, it states:

“Before you can back up the Search service application Administration database, you must stop the Search service on your SharePoint Server 2010 farm. To stop the Search service, on the original farm, on the Start menu, click Administrative Tools, and then click Services. Right-click SharePoint Server Search 14, and then click Stop. Be sure to start the service again after you back up the database.”

Now as far asSharePoint Server Search under Manage Services on Serverin CA, I know that turning off the SharePoint Server Search service would update the configuration database, while removing all entries related to that search server. All relevant search content, such as the index, would be deleted, and the associated Windows Server service (under Administrative Tools, and then Services) would be stopped.

So here’s my question: I want to get a copy of my production Search service application Administration database (on SharePoint 2010) backed up, to upgrade to my development instance of SharePoint 2013. By following the step from the ““Copy databases to the new farm…” article, couldn’t I potentially lose all my search content in the same fashion as if I turned off the SharePoint Server Search under Manage Serviceson Server in Central Admin? Any help or explanation in this manner would be greatly appreciated—thanks in advance, to one and all who may reply to this.



Site Mailbox configuration

$

Howdy,

I'm reading through configuration document (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj552524.aspx) and there's some inconsistencies with the version number of the EWS that's supposed to be installed on the WFE. The document states that the version has to be 15.0.516.25 or above but the download link points to a version of EWS that's 15.00.0516. In fact I can't seem to find version 15.0.516.. considering the numbers are so similar, it may have been a typo. 

Can anyone confirm this? 

The reason why I'm asking is because I cannot get SharePoint to create a Site Mailbox. Looking at the ULS logs I found a null object reference:

w3wp.exe (0x1638)0x11D4SharePoint Portal ServerSite Mailboxajv81ExceptionSystem.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.     at Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.CollaborationMailboxInternalService.ExchangeHasPermissionsToSiteSubscriptionInternal(SPWeb web, CollaborationMailboxErrorCodes& errorCode)     at Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.CollaborationMailboxInternalService.<>c__DisplayClassf.<ExchangeHasPermissionsToSiteSubscription>b__e() StackTrace: (null43a7ab9c-5e7f-9035-ca67-3e0abcd84b10

Health Analyzer - Review Problems and Solutions isn't updating

The Health Analyzer page "Review problems and solutions" displays items that are 3 months old.  When clicking any of the items, the DispForm.aspx?ID=item id is displayed.  Yet, there is no item behind the list item on the previous page. The following screenshot is displayed.  

When searching for the Correlation ID in the ULS log files, nothing is returned.  Has anyone seen this before?  I have no luck searching for Health Analyzer issues.

Thanks,

Unable to authenicate after IP changed into URL

Hi there, 

We have Sharepoint 2013, and it has 2nic card, one public and one private IP. 

The private IP is used to talked  to the DC that's in the same private lan. 

We were able to authenticate and get into the sharepoint perfectly fine when it was  IP based, as soon as we changed in into the URL, and access it via URL, it is not taking our authentication at all.  

I feel like it is trying to do authentication from outside to inside, because I don't even see the log on my DC at all. 

Why is this happening by changing from IP based to URL...

Thanks! 

Initiall SharePoint Server 2013 setup -- unable to manage new User Profile Service Application

$
0
0

During initial farm setup, creating an initial User Profile Service Application works fine.  However, once it's created, I cannot 'manage' it through the Manage Service Applications page in central admin.

I get a generic error (Sorry, something went wrong / unexpected error) with a correlation ID that doesn't seem to match any ULS log entries. (Yes, I merged logs from all machines in the farm.)

A Windows event log entry says:

A failure was reported when trying to invoke a service application: Endpoint Failure

Also frequent errors in ULS logs:  (see below)

  1. UserProfileApplicationNotAvailableException     
  2. User Profile Application      Proxy failed to retrieve partitions from User Profile Application: Micro…
  3. SPDistributedCache DataCacheException

I did notice that the file 'ProfileService.svc does not exist in SharePoint's web services app at the URL you see in the error. (below)

I also found it interesting that the event log error shows 1 active endpoint and 3 failed endpoints.  I have 2 WFEs and 2 app servers.  But I'm only trying to get the user profile service app running on the application servers.  I have deleted and recreated this service app several times under various names (deleted/recreated its app pool as well) and wonder if these other failed endpoints could be orphans from previous instances...

Any thoughts on how I might successfully create this service application?  I've already been Binging my head against a wall long enough that I would have been better off reinstalling the entire farm...  I may still do that.

FYI, my farm came from a slipstreamed SP1 install package, and received the July CU after several other things were already configured, including the already-failed UP service application.

People Picker and Accounts with Commas

With SharePoint Foundation 2013, we seem to have a similar problem as described in this thread: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/ur-PK/sharepointgenerallegacy/thread/b33a036a-c1bf-47b5-a95f-423985407e68

Since 2013 has moved to a javascript powered spread sheet entry mode, it seems that we cannot properly add a user with the people picker if there is a comma used in the user id.  Does anyone know a workaround or if this is going to be fixed?  It seems like it was a problem with 2010, and I can't believe that it was not addressed in 2013.  Thanks!

Confusion around Host Named Site Collections, Host Header Web Application and MySite host

$

Hello

I am confused about the best practice to set up web applications in a corporate environment.

We have got a Three Tier SharePoint 2013 platform setup. We are confused about the best practice of using HNSC, Host header web applications and where to host MySite Host.

Based on our requirements, We planned for

  1. Web Application without Host Header on port 80. we are planning to use this web application to host HNSC. This is for one part of the group which wants to have their own site for each of its location.
  2. Web Application with Host Header (http://websiteB.company.com) on port 80. I think because we have used Host Header in Web site level we can't host HNSC in this web application. This is other part of the company which wants to have only one site for all of its locations.
  3. MySite host web application with Host Header(http://mysite.company.com) on port 80. 
  4. As you can see all the web applications are on port 80 but different application pools

  • Can any one see any problem with the above set up. 
  • We are planning to make the sites external, do you think will i hit any problems with this set up.
  • how about app development for this set up.
  • Is there any problem having multiple and my site host web applications on port 80.
  • Any other issues which i can't see now.

Thanks, please help me with this confusion

Thanks very much

Check names vs. people picker

Hi all!

I am facing a strange problem, when I am trying to grant access to a AD user in SP.

After typing DOMAIN\UserID and clicking on "check names" the user cannot be resolved. But when I (left)click on the "incorrect" DOMAIN\UserID SharePoint suggests the correct user and I am able to choose it.

What is wrong with "check names"? Any suggestions?

Also noticed: After granting access to an ("incorrect") user and deleting the user from the permission list again, the user can be resolved directly via "check names"!

Thanks.

Possible to limit SharePoint Admin permissions?

$
0
0

I've sort of fallen into the role of SharePoint Admin for a small company that uses Office 365 and SharePoint 2013 Online. I have a reasonable tech background, but not much SharePoint background.

Anyway, as the admin, I have access to all the site's content, which includes HR information including salaries, I-9 verification documents (passports, birth certs, etc.), employee names and addresses, as well as contract documents. I'm not too worried about me, as I know what I should and shouldn't be viewing. But I'm going to want to create another admin down the road, and wouldn't prefer to limit access to content.

Is it possible for an admin to have permissions to create sub-sites, pages, groups, and libraries,  add users to groups, etc., without giving access to the content of those libraries? How would I do that, if it is possible?

Many thanks.

We are currently trying to use a custom profile import app that was written in house.

The app works fine and updates the user profile property as expected, however the FULL imports and it seems the incrementals blank out these fields.

How can I prevent this and make the fields ignored in the OOB import?

At one time the fields were mapped to a BDC connection in the import but that has been deleted

thanks
