Adding new front end server to Existing farm

$
0
0

Hello
I Have a sharepoint farm that consists of one server running Central Admin, SQL and web front end.  We would like to split these off into three tiers (front end, existing central admin, SQL)

Our first step is creating a new server and using this as a web front end and removing all of the front end activities from the existing central admin server. 

From what I have been reading when you add a new server to the farm and install IIS on it all sites are moved onto the new server.  Is this correct and what are the steps that are involved?  Also, will the sites be removed from the existing SharePoint central admin server from being accessed as the front end?

Any help greatly appreciated.

We upgraded SP2013 from March 2013 PU and December 2013 CU to SP1 and July 2014 CU. In the header where Newsfeed and SkyDrive is there was a link called Sites. After the upgrade this now says, "The trial period for this product has expired." How do we resolve this? Our install was not a trial install and our license is not expired.

Hi, I am trying to install SharePoint on my laptop to begin learning how to use it. I am taking an online database course for it at Database Training Academy and I am having issues downloading the necessary components. If someone could please help me? I first tried with a Macbook Pro and it made no sense to me then I tried with MULTIPLE different PCs that I have around the house.. The guy in the video uses Server Manager to begin and I had tried to download that but for some reason it will not work on any of my laptops or desktops. If someone could please help me  I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you for your time.

Site Column link to Managed Metadata Term Set lost after creation of site template.

$

My company is currently deploying a large number of portals, each based on the same site template with some site by site customisations of content types, views etc.

Our site template contains a number of content types comprised of site columns of the type managed metadata, referencing sitel collection (local) term sets.  When we create site collections based on this template, we notice that:

a) the term sets are present in the new sites, but do not contain any values; and

b) the site columns seem to have lost their connection to the term sets, that is they cannot be accessed on a document or item properties form (appear greyed out), until such time as a site collection admin goes to Site Settings > Site Columns, opens the properties for each custom column, and then clicks ok. 

We have also noticed that managed metadata is lost from items that are moved from a teamsite document library to a document centre library using the Sent To function.   Other metadata fields remain populated.  All content types are the same across the document libraries. 

Are these known issues?

Hi, i'm a Chinese user. This is my first time to ask a question in MSDN forum.  

I just read this official document below and did what it said.

Personal Tasks with Yammer Integration for On-Premises SharePoint 2013

$

0
 

Where do the Tasks under Newsfeed go if we implement the Yammer integration with SharePoint 2013 on-premises?

There is no specific answer on this issue in any documentation we can find. Here is what we need to know as we propose the migration to Yammer. 

In my Office365, I have the Yammer and Sites links in the top-right corner. If I click on Sites, this results in two links showing up on the left side: Followed Sites and Newsfeed. Clicking on Newsfeed here, takes one to the same tools that we have now in SharePoint 2013 on-premises: About Me, Blog, Apps, and Tasks. Right now, on our on-premises SharePoint 2013, clicking on Sites only results in the Followed Sites list.

If we implement Yammer on-premises, would the Newsfeed group of personal resources and sites move to a link named Newsfeed reachable from the Sites top-right link, similar to O365? The top navigation bar is hard to edit, in general, and we’d rather leave it as Microsoft intends it to be.

The 'official' wording from experts is that Yammer will implement all the on-premises functions of the Newsfeed. However, I don't see Tasks anywhere in my O365 Yammer feed. 

Thanks.

alternative authentication

Hello

We use SharePoint Server 2013 and SharePoint Foundation 2013 to provide access to outside users. Currently the users are provided with internal credentials. We would like to find some way to be able to use the outside user's email address as the username. We could either give them a password or it could be self generated. Is there any mechanism available to do this? I would see it as similar to how SharePoint Online uses a Microsoft Account as credentials to access that resource. I am keeping the scope of this question basic so I get a broader range of answers.

Thanks for any ideas.

Our client has setup ADFS to send over a group as a role claim but i could not find this group with c:0-.t|xxx in our environment but i can find it with i:05.t|xxx. Somehow if i granted permission through I:05.t| the users in this group does not get the appropriate permission. And it is mentioned that we have to resolved the group by c:0-t|xx in order to grant correctly. Whatelse is missing on Sharepoint configuration. (Web app Authetication has been set to grant access to allow Trusted Identity Provider)

My ADFS team says they have already seen the role claim being passed in (i do not know how to verify) and the below are the configuration on my sharepoint. Can you advice if the setup are complete on sharepoint portion?

I could go on and on here but in short I need a solution to accommodate the user base I have, I know this is not the right or preferred way but I have to keep this simple.

I have a bunch of sharepoint 2013 libraries that I need to map to networks shares on Windows 7 machines via a command prompt. I can not map drive letters they need to be web location shares.

I have been around the horn on this one and I am just about licked.

With reference to this link

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff607783(v=office.14).aspx

On restoring MMS on the same farm ,I saw this error in logs.But none of the msdn threads helped to resolve this.

Object New_MD_s (previous name: Managed Metadata Service_8aa5d4c808a5497e90fa147aba99cc87) failed in event OnRestore. For more information, see the spbackup.log or sprestore.log file located in the backup directory.  SqlException:  The operation did not proceed far enough to allow RESTART. Reissue the statement without the RESTART qualifier.
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally

What is the exact resolution?

Or do I need to manually try with manual db attach approach?

This is what I did on my SharePoint 2013 environment with 1 app server ,1 web server and 1 database server

We Installed the below in the same order.

  • Installed SharePoint Server 2013 Service Pack 1(KB2880552 april release)
  • ran PSCONFIG on both app and web servers
  • Installed Workflow Manager CU1 (KB2799752)
  • Installed Service Bus CU1 (KB2799754)
  • Re-registered SharePoint Workflow Proxy.
  • Restarted all Servers

I  get this below error when I navigate to a document library , upload a doc, select it and click on "Workflow" ribbon  button which loads workflow.aspx.

(error occurs even if there are workflows attached to that document library)

Method 'StartWorkflowOnListItem' in type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices.FabricWorkflowInstanceProvider' from assembly 'Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' does not have an implementation. 






MySite Links Broken

$

Hello,

I'm hoping someone has seen this before and can provide some insight as I'm not sure what the cause is. I have the whole My Sites and Search and Profile Sync, etc. configured and working.

I've started creating a People Search page in the Enterprise Search page, and at first, when clicking on a user's name in the search results we were able to go that persons MySite page with no problems. But now, the link to the MySite profile page is incorrect, because the link itself is introducing a special character for the slash in between the domain and user's name IE; domain\username. The link actually looks like this when hovering over it;

domain%5CUsername instead of domain\username.

If I click on the name with the malformed link, I get an error that the user is not found. If I change %5C to \ in the URL, it works. I'm not 100% sure how this seems to have been broken, but I'm hoping it is something common. Thanks in advance for any help.



OneDrive for Business iPad App with on-premise SharePoint 2013

I don't know if this has more to do with OneDrive for Business or SharePoint 2013 itself.

Basically we are trying to log into OneDrive for Business on the iPad app but it says "Sorry, this app doesn't support this type of authentication"

We are using Claims Based Authentication with our On-premise SharePoint 2013 environment, which according to this table is a supported method: h**p://office.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-sharepoint-online-enterprise-help/use-the-onedrive-for-business-app-on-an-iphone-or-ipad-HA104005688.aspx#_Supported__authentication

We have tried different combinations of the username and url. Windows username, DOMAIN\username, email address, username@domain, etc. nothing seems to work.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Search Content Processing Error

Prior to releasing a newly built SharePoint Foundation 2013, I thought it would be a good idea to review the ULS Logs for any errors.

Upon reviewing the ULS Logs with ULS Viewer and configuring the application to only show me errors. I was soon presented with instances of the following error every 3 seconds.

Microsoft.Ceres.ContentEngine.SubmitterComponent.ContentSubmissionDecorator : CreateSession() failed with unexpected exception System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[System.String]: The creator of this fault did not specify a Reason. (Fault Detail is equal to Specified flow: Microsoft.CrawlerFlow could not be started. Unable to start a flow instance on any of the available nodes.).

The category given for the above error is "Content Processing".

Any thoughts on how I go about clearing this one? Within my Search Service Admin Page, everything is showing as running fine, my incremental and full crawls are completing and I am able to search my site collection for content and retrieve results.

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,
