Hi, I setup connection to SASS from dashboard designer using Unattended Account, and everything was fine. Then I started to configure connection with Kerberos using Per-user Identity authentication, and after long customization it started to work. But in the same time Unattended Account authentication stopped working.
From dashboard designer I got error:

And in SharePoint server in application log:
The Unattended Service Account "dom\unaccount" does not have access to the following data source server.

Data source location: http://testit/sites/adrian/Data Connections Library for PP/35_.000

Hello All -

My client has requested that she be able to remove (or hide) the "Recent" menu header from the left menu in Sharepoint 2013. This is for specified site collections/sites/pages, not farm-wide.

So far, I've tried to do this via JQuery by adding the following code

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
 jQuery(".ms-core-listMenu-item:contains('Recent')").parent().hide();
});
</script>

via both a script web-part and via a content editor web-part (using embed code), but to no avail. I've also tried adding the code above to a .js file (without the script tags) and calling it as

<script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/15/menu.remove.recent.js"></script>

instead, but it still doesn't work.

I've checked the page source and I can see the script is included. The "Recent" menu item however, is still there. My prefered solution would be to hide the menu item rather than remove it - I suspect removing it will probably cause issues as Sharepoint likely expects it to be there.

There's no requirement to use JQuery - it just seemed to me to be the best way. I would also rather not edit master pages unless there's no other choice.

Any ideas?

Hi I had problems installing and configuring Office Web Apps 2013 SP1 integrated with SP 2013 SP1.

Do you know if there is any issue?

This is the error in the owa side:

José Quinto Zamora SharePoint and Search Specialist MCITP and MCPD in SharePoint 2010 http://joSharePoint.com

Guys, I have an issue with Sharepoint Foundation 2013 site that we have created some custom workflows for. We have a couple required fields that we type in a users name and it automatically pulls up a user based on Active directory. once we choose that name and then save the form. the field immediately becomes blank when i open the workflow item back up. I'm kind of at a loss. I've already totally hosed the server once and was forced to restore.  This seams to have started when we installed share point server patch KB2881077 but i cannot uninstall or roll back the patch as there is no option to.

Thoughts?

Hi,

The question is regarding Alerts, the client is planning to move the content from Sharpoint 2010 to 2013.
Client is not sure if the migration would be performed by a third-party tool or out of the box.

I am sure that either way the user alerts will be moved once the content is moved to 2013, however wanted to reconfirm.

Please suggest what other things need to be taken under consideration.

Hello,

I have three web applications on a SharePoint 2013 servers.  In Central Administrators on the Application Management page where it lists all of the web applications, it shows Port 80 being used 2 3 sites.  When I go to IIS, 2 of the 3 are using different ports, 81 and 82.  So, only one site IIS says is using port 80. Why is this?  The host file has no entries in it.  Where these web applications extended?

Thanks,

Paul

Hi All,

Hello,

I have SharePoint 2013 sites with their SharePoint 2010 interface. 

Do I need to do the the visual upgrade to SharePoint 2013 "look and feel" to get the Popularity Trends options to appear?  I am trying to get the web analytics reports working on SharePont 2013 servers.  The popularity trends options don't see to appear with the SharePoint 2010 interface.

Can I get any web analytics reports and data with the SharePoint 2010 interface, even though the server is SharePoint 2013?

Thanks 

Paul

Hello,

I have data when I click on the Web analytics reports.  I am using SharePoint 2013, but with sites with the SharePoint 2010 visual interface.

What are some of the things to look for to get these working?

I have Reports feature enabled at the site collection level.

I have enabled usage data collection and have scheduled it.

What is the SharePoint job to check to ensure that it is running. 

What is the permissions to use for the Logging database and the log folder?

Thanks.

Greetings - I'm looking for feedback/comments on a script to create a new managed path site collection with it's own content db in SharePoint 2013 SP1. The idea is to create a new site collection under our main "portal" web application. Each new site collection would have it's own content db (each client would have their own db). I am newish to PowerShell for SharePoint and am curious if the script contains any glaring flaws. I would also like comments as to the use of separate content dbs (pros / cons). Also if there are any better ways to accomplish the goal. Thanks!

Dears,

I am going to install SharePoint 2013 server in my corporation, I am going to use two tiers: 

• Web server and application server on the same physical server.
• Database server on another physical server.

The users in SharePoint server will be get from active directory domain server.

The users will sign in to SharePoint server just from the corporation intranet network. 

During this progress I have some questions about:

1. What is the cost of SharePoint 2013 enterprise server license and how can I get it?
2. What is the business CAL for users and do I need it?

Hi

I need to move all my SP 2013 databases from a SQL Server 2012 to a SQL Server 2014. I have read these articles:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc512725(v=office.15).aspx

http://sharepointpromag.com/sharepoint-administration/simple-guide-moving-sharepoint-content-databases-new-server

The TechNet article says:

The new database server must run either the same version of Windows Server and SQL Server as the existing database server or one of the following versions:

SQL Server 2008

SQL Server 2012

SQL Server 2014

And the article in SharePoint Pro Magazine says:

Obviously you’ll need your target SQL server (or instance) installed and configured. It should use the same version and patch level of SQL Server as the source SQL server

So I'm a bit confused. Which article is right?

Thanks
Jakob

I am trying to install SharePoint 2013 SP1 under Server 2012R2 Std. The Server 2012R2 is a VM under Server 2012R2 DataCenter. I come from SBS 2008R2 where SharePoint and SQLServer were integrated.

I created the VM Server 2012R2, got current with patches and installed .NET 3x, along with App Server and IIS. I then installed SharePoint 2013 SP1 from the ISO and chose single server installation. The install script installed the pre-requisites including SQLServer 2008R2 and appfabric. When the install completed, I get home site web page on the server account. I added users from the domain in the site settings as contributors. Closed the site and tried to open the page on a Win8.1 system. Caught SharePoint 2013 SP1 up-to-date with WSUS patches.

On the Win8.1 system I opened IE11 and made the SharePoint server address a trusted site. I then opened URLhttp://192.168.16.6 which is the IP address of the SharePoint server. I got the logon panel and entered the WIN8.1 systems credentials (account was added to the SharePoint site as a contributor). After a few seconds I get “401 UNAUTHORIZED” and that is where I am today.

In researching what to do this is what I found and the error reporting I see on the SharePoint server. Every time I made a change, I still get “401…” on the client and I cannot open the home site from the SharePoint Server admin account (Owner)

Firewall settings – Anil Avula’s blog. I set the firewall according to his specs for those ports not setup in Windows Firewall by the install

Appfabric service not started. I started it.

AppFabric configuration, fails on hosting setup

Found iuochkov blog on how to install appfabric for SharePoint, did it and appfabric is installed with default account.

Looked into service message logs:

-         Access to Path c:\Program Files\Common Files\ Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS is denied; Permissions are standard on Program Files

-         Start Address sps3://longsp2013 (server name) cannot be crawled; access is denied

-         SharePoint Products SharePoint Server Search; threw an exception

-         WebHost failed to process a request; SharePoint Administration, identity, host operations, claims etc…

-         Users are accessing ht site http://longsp2013 with url http://192.168.16.6 this may cause incorrect links

-         Event 7127 SharePoint Portal server warning of multiple events

-         Forefront security for SharePoint ‘/’ cannot start; attempted to install Forefront for SharePoint and got error “no SharePoint portal server found”

Local Server – Services detail view errors

-         SharePoint VSS Writer – stopped

-         Document conversion launcher for SharePoint –stopped

-         Forefront identity manager synch service – stopped

What I have asked for is an installation planning guide to walk me step by step in setting up SharePoint 2013 SP1. Can anyone help? The instructions I have seen are just to install from the ISO and go.

Hi All -

This issue is driving me nuts, I'm getting mixed content warnings only when accessing certain tools in the site settings menus, otherwise everything else is working - here's the scenario :

- SharePoint 2013 3-tier farm behind an NLB providing SSL termination. Client requests via HTTPS, SSL is decrypted and forwarded by the NLB to IIS as HTTP. Original header intact.

- IIS website is configured as HTTP, catch-all with no host-header, listens on :80

- Web application contains host named site collections. Created via Powershell as follows :

$webApp = New-SPWebApplication -Name $webAppName -ApplicationPool $webAppPool -ApplicationPoolAccount (Get-SPManagedAccount $iisAccount) -AuthenticationProvider (New-SPAuthenticationProvider –UseWindowsIntegratedAuthentication) -Path $path -URL $rootUrl -HostHeader $hostHeader -DatabaseName $dbName

- A root site collection as created (path-based of course) as follows :

$spSite = New-SPSite -Url $url -OwnerAlias $owner1 -SecondaryOwnerAlias $owner2 -ContentDatabase $dbName -Name $name -Template $template -Language $lcid

- Host names site collections are then created similarly, except using the -HostHeaderWebApplication parameter. HNSCs seem to be working just fine, they're accessible through the NLB and appear to work just fine...

...except certain tools in the site settings menu, where I get a mixed content warning - for example :

- Content & Structure gives me a mixed content warning. The browser console tells me it's trying to open 

http://<host>/_layouts/15/1033/styles/corev15.css

and

http://<host>/_layouts/15/1033/styles/SiteManagerCustomStyles.css

I get similiar errors for some ribbon controls, for example the Site Collection Administrators tool which wants to open this via HTTP:

http://<host>/_layouts/15/mngsiteadmin.aspx?IsDlg=1

Many other tools in Site Settings work just fine.

Now, I've tried the following :

- I tried doing everything the opposite way around. Created the web application with SSL enabled. Created the root site as HTTPS, created the HNSCs as HTTPS. Added a secondary URL to the HNSCs via PowerShell as HTTP (Intranet Zone). Configured IIS to listen to :80. This actually works, but has exactly the same errors with Content & Structure etc. In other words no change.

I'm not sure what else I can try.

Has anyone got any experience with this issue?

Greetings --

I'm having a heck of a time trying to get Reporting Services integrated with SharePoint 2013.  The end result is that no matter what I try, I keep getting the "The term 'Install-SPRSService' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet" error which thereby prevents me from finalizing the integration with SP 2013.

Following is a description of my lab + the steps I've followed to try to resolve:

In a virtual environment with 3 machines, I have one set as the Domain Controller, one with SQL Server 2012 installed (no reporting services), one with SharePoint Server 2013.

The domain is working fine... no problems there.  SQL Server 2012 is working fine... I can connect to it locally and remotely, execute commands, etc.

On the SharePoint 2013 machine, I have tried two ways... 1) install SharePoint 2013 first, then install SQL Server requirements... 2) install SQL Server requirements first, then SharePoint 2013.

In both methods, I am installing both "Reporting Services - SharePoint" and "Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint Products" on the same machine as SharePoint Server 2013.

My understanding was that when SP is installed first, the SQL Server installation should auto-register the necessary components (meaning running Install-SPRSService and ServiceProxy are not required). However, in this scenario, this doesn't appear to have happened.  The service does not appear at all within SharePoint.  Attempting to run "Install-SPRSService" fails with the "not recognized" error.

In the second scenario (Installing SQL Server components first, then SharePoint second), it is my understanding that the "Install-SPRSService and Install-SPRSServiceProxy" must be run manually. With both SQL Server components and SharePoint 2013 successfully installed, running "Install-SPRSService" fails with the "not recognized" error.

I would also like to point out that I am executing the Install command from the "SharePoint 2013 Mangement Shell" (right clicking and running as Administrator). 

Any suggestions or nuggets-of-wisdom would be GREATLY appreciated!

My problem started as follow:-

1. I installed SharePoint 2013 and visual studio 2012.
2. When I first try to deploy a SharePoint hosted app I got the following compilation error in visual studio “Error occurred in deployment step 'Install app for SharePoint': App Management Shared Service Proxy is not installed.”
3. So I performed these steps mentioned inside this link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/apps/fp179923

But now the App will be published successfully, but if I try to access the App from SharePoint using the login local administrator or theSPManagedAccount user; a blank page will be displayed after being prompted to enter username and password multiple times. So what the problem will be?

Best Regards

after upgrade to Sharepoint 2013 SP1 i failed to create publishing portal site collection.

The below are the errors. Need urgent help....

After applying the July 2014 CU for SharePoint server, I discovered that Person or Group (People Picker) fields are not populated with server values in list item Edit forms.  However, the field values can be viewed in list views and in Display forms.  I examined the client side code and determined that field data is not being returned from the server for Edit forms. 

In a test environment, I uninstalled SharePoint 2013, reinstalled SP 2013 with SP1 and the issue went away.  I then applied the May 2014, June 2014, and July 2014 CUs.  The issue did not exist after applying the May and June CUs.  It did exist after applying the July 2014 CU.
