Hi - I havn't setup a mysite personal site in sp2013 yet but I need to find out - is the Manager value (used by the My Site Clean up timer job) still based on the AD property as it was in SP2010? Or is it prompted for during personal site creation?

Using SharePoint 2013 SP1 on Windows 2012 R2

Referencing

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262500(v=office.15)

Specifically Table: Combination of permissions in My Sites

This states that if Follow People and Edit Profile   is not ticked for a given user group that users will not be able to edit their profile.

I am changing this for everyone (all authenticated users).

It would appear that the setting makes absolutely no difference.

In all scenarios if the user goes directly to http://mysites they can each their profile.

Oddly the links from the SharePoint site collections are disabled.

Is there a fix for this?

The Secure Store Service application Secure Store Service Proxy is not accessible

$

I am working on setting up a new SharePoint 2013 Farm for our external web site which is currently running on 2010 SharePoint. Because this is an External Website for our organization we have an internally available Publishing Site and there is an Web App Extension to provide Anon Access to users using the www address. Currently I am doing everything on a single server for testing with HOSTS entries to loop back so I can test with real host headers and not impact the 2010 prod environment. We will be setting up 2 more WFEs with a NLB before moving this into prod but it isn't there yet. We brought the Site Collection Databases over but are still running in 2010 mode for now.

I migrated a copy of the Secure Store Database over from 2010 and had it put on the 2013 Farm's Database Server. Set up Secure Store and the Secure Store Proxy. I went into the Secure Store Proxy in CA and refreshed the Key with the proper Pass Phrase. After doing that I could see the Target Application IDs listed. Everything was looking good so I went off to test. If I am on the publishing site I can go to a page that has the solution on it and it operates as expected. It does a query to a non SharePoint database and returns information filtered based on the search parameters. The only odd thing I see is if I click on the "Site Actions" I get a message "An error has occurred with the data fetch. Please refresh page and retry." Need to look into that more but it only happens on pages that have these solutions. Maybe a clue. If I go to the Anonymous Access page (www......) and try and use the solution, it immediately (way too quick to appear like it is doing anything) comes back with "The security token request cannot be completed."

If I dig through the usage logs I am finding the following.

The Secure Store Service application Secure Store Service Proxy is not accessible. The full exception text is: The security token request cannot be completed.

Unexpected exception from endpoint address : https://[Servername]:32844/4e87fd3aabb640fb8cc3ed52188cf5c0/SecureStoreService.svc/https

Logging unknown/unexpected client side exception: InvalidOperationException. This will cause this application server to be removed from the load balancer queue. Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: The security token request cannot be completed.    at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSecurityContext.SecurityTokenForServiceContext(Uri contextUri)     at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPChannelFactoryOperations.InternalCreateChannelActingAsLoggedOnUser[TChannel](ChannelFactory`1 factory, EndpointAddress address, Uri via)     at Microsoft.Office.SecureStoreService.Server.SecureStoreServiceApplicationProxy.GetChannel(Uri address)     at Microsoft.Office.SecureStoreService.Server.SecureStoreServiceApplicationProxy.Execute[T](String operationName, Boolean validateCanary, ExecuteDelegate`1 operation).

Initially I was fighting a firewall issue because it wasn't working (different errors) on both sides. Had Network Engineers open firewall ports needed and now it works on the publishing side. Still the same error on the Anon side. I suspect I have missed something when it comes to configuring the Secure Store to allow access to anonymous connections.

Let me know if you need any more information but that should paint a pretty good picture as to how things are set up.

Thanks for any help on this one. Searches haven't found much that has helped so far.

URGENT SSRS 2012 ON SHAREPOINT 2013

$

Hello all,

I am not new to Microsoft SQL, but kinda new to SharePoint and desperately need your help.

I need to build a SharePoint farm for the company i am working for and i have difficulties installing SSRS.

My configuration is 2-tier architecture with DB server and a SharePoint Server.

OS: Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter Edition, SharePoint Enterprise with SP1, SQL 2012 Enterprise with SP1 with per core licensing.

Step 1: Installation of SQL Server (database engine) on a separate server goes well every time.

Step 2: Installation of SharePoint 2012 on a separate server goes well each time. I am able to create cite collections i need without issues and people can actually use them.

Step 3: Install BI center collection - always goes well.

Step 4: Install SSRS in SharePoint mode on SharePoint server. Always goes well with no error messages.

Step 5: Creating service app for SSRS - cannot make it work. When i try to create new service app i don't have the option to choose SSRS. In addition the services are not on the list of the managed services. If i try to register SSRS with SharePoint PowerShell - i get this famous error message that my command is not recognized. I am using following syntax -

Install-SPRSService

Please help!!! Need to know where did i do wrong. Any feedback is appreciated.

Inconsistent Web Part Styles after migrating from 2007 to 2013

$

Hello,  I have been working on a migration from 2007 to 2013.  For the most part, it's gone well but I cannot figure out why I have inconsistencies in the visual styles of similar web parts. THIS screenshot shows the two variants that I'm seeing.  On some of the webs, we only get web parts formatted similar to the one on the right, Equipment Specifications [1].  On others, we get a mix of both.  I suspected it may be due to the list type, but have since proven that not to be the case.  I also thought that perhaps it was based on the site template used for each web, but alas that has proven to be inconsistent as well.  Interestingly, for me, was that I created a generic web app and site collection, without any data, on 2007, migrated it to 2013, and found that I only had web parts formatted with the Equipment Specification [1].  I was expecting to see them all in the Equipment Specification [2] style.

 

Has anyone here seen this behavior before?  Might there be a powershell command to reset the style (for lack of a better word) of each web part for the site collection?

I am learning Sharepoint. I have deployed and configured SP2013 on single machine. Now I was trying to deploy SP 2013 in a small farm. My requirement is to separate the SP and its on different machine. For this I have taken 2 application server and one DB server. In one application server I installed SP, created farm and configured most of the farm services except search. Now I moved to another machine and installed SP, joined this machine with the existing farm, after SP installation, I then had the manage services screen where all the checkboxes were disabled except search and now I had the confusion. my confusion was, if I will select the search service then it will be configured on the main machine then how to deploy search on this machine.

Please help.

psconfig running excessively long

I’m trying to add the March CU to my SharePoint 2013 farm. After the bits are installed I'm trying to run the config wizard but the final step (9 of 10) runs excessively long. I left it running on VM for 6 days before killing it. It doesn’t error out but it appears the thread priority of the process keeps getting bumped down (see log entries below). I’ve stopped some of the services (timer, search and host controller) but doesn’t seem to help.

Any ideas?

eDiscovery In-Place Hold timer job fails

I'm playing with eDiscovery Center in SharePoint 2013. My Search service is working properly. The In-place Hold processing timer job fails with "Unable to connect to the search service". I have been looking but do not see any resolutions that apply to my issue. I have a search proxy, the search service is connected to the web application that hosts the eDiscovery site. Not seeing any issues in the ULS logs. This is really annoying. Nothing can be placed an hold due to this issue since the job won't run.

Imagine what we could be...if we could just imagine. | Daniel A. Galant



SharePoint 2013, Off Box SSL Termination and Hostnamed Site Collections

$
0

On Technet they say:

"To use host-named site collections with off-box SSL termination, configure your web application as you normally would for SSL termination"http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc424952(v=office.15).aspx

I have created a pilot multi-tenant hostheader sharepoint farm and are using SSL termination. It appears to work ok however I am unclear on one thing and the line "as you normally would" has got me confused. What is the normal way?

Do I have to extend the web application to another port and another zone? I have not in my case and it appears to work so long as I change the web application's "default" zones public URL toHTTPS and then add a new Internal HTTP URL mapped to the default zone.

For host name site collections I also need to add a new HTTPS url mapping for each site collection that needs SSL (all of them in this case) using the Set-SPSiteUrl cmdlet.

Our proxy server then terminates the SSL and routes traffic internally to the port 80 IIS website.

Is this the normal way to do it or is it better to extend the web app for SSL?

SharePoint data / document encryption options: experiences and recommendations

$
0
0

Hi,

I'm evaluating the options to implement an encryption of the data / documents that are saved in SharePoint (2013).
The important requirement is that SharePoint administrators (farm admins) are not able to access the data / documents, so the encryption / security can be managed independently by a different team. This is because the SharePoint infrastructure is managed by a service provider and data / documents should only be accessible by our company not the service provider.

Does anybody have experience with this and can recommend tools / services for this?
One option I’m evaluating is the CORISECIO Gateway Server. Does anybody have experience with this?

Thanks and best regards

Sharepoint 2013 - Adding new sever in farm on demand using scripts - Possible ?

$
0
0

Hello Experts,

We are planning to deploy a Sharepoint 2013 farm using AWS and the plan is to make itscalable, Need your expert opinion / suggestion on the model mentioned below. It’s kind of something new (or not so traditional) so not sure if it’s even possible or not. Plan is to start with

2 WFE

1 App server

1 Search Server/index/Query

1 SQL Data base server (clustered)

 We are planning to use script (PowerShell and JS) that will add a new instance in WFE tier when resource usage is high (let’s say at 70%). And when usage is low it will kill that instance.  I think a script can be written that will create a new instance, run the config wizard, attach the new WFE with the farm and will give us third WFE.

Question is, do you guys think if it’s even possible? What are the drawbacks or any advice?

Another thing we are planning is to add index server using the same method on the fly. So when search server is using max resources for crawling, script will create a new instance, install Sharepoint, assign index role and add it in the existing farm.

Question is, what components should be running on the search server in this case to make crawling & indexing faster? And same as question if it’s possible or any issues you see wit this approach?

 Any thoughts, suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks
