Hello,

I need to install SharePoint (Farm based installation) on VM and I have installed SQL Server 2008 R2 on my local machine.

How can I connect both the machines so that I can use sql instance settings on farm based installation??

Please guide.

Thanks

The command TfsAdmin ProjectServer /RegisterPWA causes next error:

TF244069: An error occurred while checking the provisioning status of the reporting database schema for a PWA instance.
Project Server returned the following error: "Server was unable to process request. ---> The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.".

I installed SharePoint 2013 and Project Server 2013 as farm and TFS 2012 and my account has permissions everywhere. I read articlehttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg412653.aspx and gave full permissions for TFS account to SQL and Project, Project app pool account to SQL, but still have an error.

How can I find out what exactly permissions are not enough???

 Could you please help me to install SharePoint-2013 foundation for a single server( Local). I am installing a fresh and new farm server( single) under Windows server-2012 datacentre. I have installedSQL server-2012 express edition and other prerequisite software and checked by SharePoint-2013 prerequisite installer and got OK. At the end of my installation I got the following error:-

I have checked my database server and other installation options Such as: Firewall TCP/IP, Programme option, UDP>Incoming new rules.

I have also configured SQL- configuration management tools for IP/TCP. I can connect data engine in local and client machine through network options.

But I couldn't figure out on the above issues. Please help me to install Foundation.

I was able to access Central Administration and default Sharepoint:80 site. But when I create a new web application MyTest in port 81, I cannot perform any search - get following error

When I launch a SharePoint site; I get a screen with message 'Service Unavailable'

It was working fine until last week; how do I resolve this issue?

I strongly believe issue is unique to Team Foundation Server environments. TFS is somehow interfering with the SP upgrade.

I am trying to install SPF 2013 RTM in the following environment:

• Windows Server 2012 RTM
• Stand-alone installation using SQL Server standard
• Non-domain hyper-V instance (i.e. it is a workgroup)
• TFS Server (stand-alone installation)

Installation steps taken:

1. Install software prerequisites. OK
2. Install SharePoint Foundation bits. OK
3. Run New-SPConfigrationDatabase. OK
4. Run SharePoint 2013 Products Configuration Wizard. OK
5. After step 4 is completed, I am taken to the Central Administration Web site. I enter my credentials. I am presented with the following message "Sorry, this site hasn't been shared with you"

       Page requested:

       http://tfs01:1841/_admin/adminconfigintro.aspx?scenarioid=adminconfig&welcomestringid=farmconfigurationwizard_welcome

       Redirected to the following page:

Looking at the SP ULS logs, I see the following exception:

An interesting point:

• I am able to access central administration (h ttp://tfs01:1841/default.aspx) using the same credentials I used above. When I go to the Configuration Wizards, there is nothing I can do there. The account logged in shows as System Account.

Hi,

I am currently evaluating the sizing approach for one of the application that we would be developing. I need your help and recommendation in the following scenarios - 

1) Let's say that we have two site collections, each of 75 GB. What would be the best approach to organize them? Two in one content DB (since 200 GB in the max recommended size) or one DB for each site collection? How does the performance and scheduled backup affects? What if the number of site collection increses to 20 or more?

2) We need to create my sites for 76K users, with 100 MB default quota. The quota might be increased to 500 MB based on the usage. My recommendation is to create 300 my sites per DB which will ensure the DB size well before the max recommended size. This means that we need to create approx 255 DBs (MS recommendation is 300 content DB per web app). I want to know why it is 300? Does it affect performance? Backup is more complex or maintenance is difficult?
Another approach is to create more number of sites and later move to new DB if quota needs to be increased (more work for AO team).

Any comments will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Bidyut.

Hello,

I've had following this guidance (http://blog.sharedove.com/adisjugo/index.php/2012/07/25/visual-guide-setting-up-my-sites-in-sharepoint-2013/) for setting up MySite in SharePoint 2013. It works like a charm, but when I access "Newsfeed" og "Sites" it keeps showing "We're almost ready!".

I've investigated the logs and the event viewer on the server (Windows server 2012, SQL2012, SP2013 - single server, but configured as a farm).

It says the following:

Hello,

Our SharePoint 2013 server has lots of 6398 errors.  This is basic installation, we did not do any modifications yet.

There are two errors that I see:

and

Anyone can help?

Thank you.

Hello everyone,

I've just found the new feature for sharing files with others. In SP15 you can click on a list item and share it with others by clicking the Ellipsis and then on Share. The new dialog shows two options for permissions (can read and can write). However, this is useless. Reason: I think the idea was it to make this stuff more simple for most users. Before SP15 I implemented such feature myself. I used a column for this. Then I added an Event Receiver that handles everything when an Item has been added. The new feature in SP15 is missing this Event Receiver. The Event Receiver was there to break the role inheritance, remove all permissions and then add the permissions as I wished. This new feature only removes the role inheritance after the first time I use it. Before that point the item gets its permissions from the list via inheritance. So let get the following fact which hasn't changed in this new version of SharePoint: Any new item (uploaded or created) will inherit its permission from the list. This way already anyone who can access the list can also open and change the file. So what is the new share dialog for when already everyone on this list can see it? Adding additional users is completely senseless as they can't acces the list to open that item. Removing permissions is not even possible in this dialog. I really don't get this...

Thanks!!

Hi...

while Restoring Site Collection in Sharepoint Foundation. I am getting the following error

"Your backup is from a different version of Microsoft SharePoint Foundation and cannot be restored to a server running the current version. The backup file should be restored to a server with version '14.0.0.6123' or later."

How to resolve it.

How do I resolve this SP Foundation 7043 error:

Load control template file /_controltemplates/AddContentSourceControl.ascx failed: Cannot create an object of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.WebControls.LocStringId' from its string representation 'AddContentSource_Schedule_Text' for the 'LabelTextLocId' property.

I didn't find the .ascx file at /_controltemplates/AddContentSourceControl.ascx but I found one at C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\CONTROLTEMPLATES. And then I didn't find the 'AddContentSource_Schedule_Text' variable.

Hi everybody,

I know this is silly but when I try to create a site collection with + (the plus sign) in url it fails and i get an error message.

The fact is the regex validation for the site collection creation form (for url field) doesn't say it's forbidden (but it says it's forbidden for / for example).

The side effect I have is I'm using Azure ACS and Live ID Identity provider. As live team didn't give the autorisation to Azure team to use e-mails addresses as nameidentifier, they generate a unique name identifier (like this dk87q1tb6clbjs02s7kwcjxzbuwqyqb2cbpkscux8ma=) to guarantee unicity of identifiers. (and also that it doesn't change with time).

But most of the time this identifier contains + sign. And when the user goes to my site host, his personal site collection creation fails because of this.

A hotfix to replace + by _ would be appreciated (it's done for name identifiers containing @ for example). Also it should fix the regex for the site collection creation form.

If there is any workaround it would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I have fresh SharePoint 2013 RTM and SQL Server 2012 installation. I created site collection from Central Admin and I got message"Sorry, something went wrong. An unexpected error has occured". I see many errors in Windows Server event log. Site collection frontpage and central page first did not work, but after boot working. Health Analyzer says something went wrong.

What could be wrong? User permission issue?

Hi All,

I am trying to provision UPS on SP2013. I have assigned the farm account relevant permissions in AD, but keep getting the below error:

We have a 2010 farm and are in the process of creating a new 2013 farm in a new Active Directory domain. We want to migrate all content/users to the new domain.   All users are currently setup to use Domain\000001 numbers.    We are also changing this to Domain\N000001.     Are there any tools either OOB or 3rd party that will help us migrated all users.  There are 20,000+ users so manually will not work.     

Thanks

Dear Community,

I'm trying to deploy a SharePoint App, it's in my appcatalog as a request.
I did approve the app which is called "Corporate News App".
My next step was a adding it, by clicking "ADD IT" but I can;t see the app anywhere and I cannot add it to my SharePoint site.

When I install the app directly (from codeplex), I'm receiving a url: something like <appprefix>-<random guid>.apps.example.com:8080/CorporateNewsApp.
On that page I can see the App.

But how can I deploy it that end-users can see the Corporate News App?
And what can be wrong when I add a App from SharePoint Store?

Thanks!,

Pascal

We are in the process of rolling out a global portal in SharePoint 2013.    Currently we have an active directory domain we are connecting to.  One of our companies is using their own domain and don't want to move into ours.    
Are there any disadvantages of keeping them in their own domain and using ADFS for them to authenticate?   Is there any functionality they will lose within the Social realm of Sharepoint?  Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks

Good day,

I'm trying to run the following code. All steps succeed when I execute them individually until I get to '$searchapp = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -Identity "Search Service Application"'. I've checked the name of the service application and this line works just fine when I run it locally on the server.

Enable-PSRemoting -force
$remoteSession = New-PSSession -ComputerName "myServer"
Enter-PSSession $remoteSession
if ( (Get-PSSnapin -Name Microsoft.Sharepoint.Powershell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -eq $null )
{
    Add-PsSnapin Microsoft.Sharepoint.Powershell
}
$searchapp = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -Identity "Search Service Application"
$contentsources = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchCrawlContentSource -SearchApplication $searchapp | ForEach-Object{$_.StartFullCrawl()}
Exit-PSSession
Remove-PSSession $remoteSession

The following is the exception thrown:
Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication : The type initializer for 'Microsoft.
Office.Server.Search.LocStringIdLookupTable' threw an exception.
