Cannot install server language packs

Hi

I have a single server farm with a native english SharePoint server 2013 SP1 installed (15 0 4569 1000). Now I want to install a swedish server language pack with sp1, but all that happens when I run setup is that the screen that tells me that I should "please wait while setup prepares the necessary files" appears and then immediately disappears.

Checking the log at %temp% let's me know about these errors:

Error: Catalyst intermediate PreReqCheck has failed Type: 66::PreReqCheckFailure.
 Error: Catalyst intermediate PreReqCheck has failed Type: 66::PreReqCheckFailure.
 Return code: 30066.  Exception caught: PreReqCheckFailure.

There's nothing intresting in the ULS or the application logs.

Next I tried running the ROIScan.vbs script which shows me "Error - missing chained product!", 38 of them in total. Amongst them is 90150000-110D-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE which as I understand maps to SharePoint Server 2013.

First I checked HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall where I found this key, no issues there. But in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Registration it was missing. Comparing with a healthy farm I can see that it should be present. I added the key but to no avail. Next step could be to try and add all the string values in this key, but I feel it will be in vain.

I've read thistechnet article describing how to solve a similar problem, but it only helped me with 18 of the missing products, and not the SharePoint Server 2013 product GUID which I guess is quite important.

This installation is from the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 demo image if that helps.

Anyone had experience with this?

DB Autogrowth settings - Service Applications and content DBs

$

Hi - is there any documentation out there that provides specifics for the initial size and autogrowth settings for the SP2013 service application databases?

I'm aware that the content DBs will vary and thus impossible to define settings except to note that autogrowth needs to be set in MB not %. But for service app DBs surely there must be some guidelines on initial sizing?

Thanks

Unknown SQL Exception 0 occurred error on IIS server

Hello,

I searched all over and could not find an answer or a fix to these errors I am getting on one of our IIS servers

I am getting Event ID 5586 for SharePoint Foundation error for Task Category Database only on one of our IIS Servers.

The error details are:

Unknown SQL Exception 0 occurred. Additional error information from SQL Server is included below.

The target principal name is incorrect.  Cannot generate SSPI context.

We have an IIS web farm, which include iis1 and iis2. SQL is on it's own server and Sharepoint Central Admin is on another server

We are getting these errors every few seconds but only on the one IIS server.

Any ideas would be great.

Thanks,

Site mailboxes with Exchange Online?

Hi All,

We would like to use Site Mailboxes with our On-Prem 2013 Ent deployment. In addition to our On-prem deployement, we also have the full O365 suite including Exchange, SharePoint, Lync, etc.

Question: Can we use Site Mailboxes in our On-prem environment, connected to Exchange online?

The tables at the bottom of the following article indicates that SharePoint Online must be included in the O365 subscription, but the notes are not clear as to whether it is a requirement to use the SharePoint Online instance of SharePoint or if we could use our On-Prem instance.

Hi

I am trying to create a HNSC as a root site collection on one of the web application in a SharePoint 2013 farm but getting this error below. 

I done the following steps:

  • Created a web application at port 9000  URL  http://spserver1:9000
  • I want to use this web application for all HNSC sites and I know I need to create a root level site collection as HNSC for it. so I ran this PS comdlet

    New-SPSite 'http://spserver1:9000' -HostHeaderWebApplication 'http://spserver1:9000’ -Name 'To
    p level hnsc Site' -OwnerAlias 'abc\swl' -language 1033

       "New-SPSite : The URL 'http://spserver1:9000' is in use as an alternate access URL or as        the URL of a host header site.  Please choose a different URL and try again".

  • I know I can create this root site collection in CA as Path Name Site collection by choosing the site URLhttp://spserver1:9000 and the / and that will work just fine but I need to create as HNSC or I don't have to but I don't know.

    How do I create a HNSC site collection as root site,  Can someone advice on this?
     
    Thanks

How to Change Analysis Services Server for Power View

I can't seem to figure out how to change what SSAS server/instance that is used to build the cubes for Power View items uploaded to SharePoint. I tried changed the trusted servers listed in the Excel Services service application but if I remove the original SSAS server (which of course is a test server, not to be used for production) and have only the prod SSAS instance listed the reports fail to load with the generic 400 error. Is there another setting that I'm missing?

Thanks,

Kyle



Which SSL certificate should be assigned to the Sharepoint Web Services?

$
0
0

The SharePoint Web Services are bound to both plain HTTP and also to HTTPS. On my IIS server the HTTPS binding is not bound to any SSL certificate. My choices are WmSvc-MachineName and ForefrontIdentyManager.

I understand that client PCs will not connect directly to this cert, correct? So the WmSvc is self-signed, I assume.

Adding new WFE server to farm is adding deleted application pools and then configuration fails

$

I am chasing down some very strange issues in a customers SharePoint 2013 SP1 farm

Behavior

At some point there was an issue when the customer was creating new web applications where the web applications listed in SharePoint were not the same as the sites that were deployed in IIS. In Central Admin there were 22 web applications listed, but in IIS in one of the WFE servers there were only 18 IIS sites.

The customer originally had 4 WFE servers which showed a different number of sites on each WFE server. We went ahead and removed all but one WFE from the farm by removing via the config wizard. The other 3 WFE servers removed from the farm with no issue.

We then proceeded to delete the web applications via central admin that did not match with what was on the last remaining WFE server. There were 4 that had to be deleted. When we checked the WFE the 4 app pools were still present on the server so we manually deleted these.

All seemed to be fine as we then able to deploy the customers web app scoped solutions with no further errors about missing or corrupted web.config files.

ISSUE

Now we need to add the additional wfe servers back to the farm and are unable to do so.

We try to join the server via Connect-spconfigurationdatabase command, it runs for 5 mins or so and then fails with the error

Connect-SPConfigurationDatabase : Object reference not set to an instance of
an object.
At line:1 char:1
+ Connect-SPConfigurationDatabase -DatabaseServer "WDVSQLSP1301" -DatabaseName
"Sh ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While the server is trying to join I am watching IIS and I see all the current application pools created on the server and one of the IIS sites. Within a minute or so the number of application pools begins to reduce, the single site is deleted and the command fails with the error above.

What is strange is that there are 4 application pools left over on the server and two of them are application pools that were associated with the web applications that had been deleted from central admin.

I am trying to figure out where these old application pools could be being pulled from in the farm as they are not listed on any WFE servers or other app servers in the farm.

Any suggestions on things to look at is greatly appreciated.


How to make Windows Claims and SAML Claims recognize as same Identity ?

$

Hi! My question about claims based identity of On Premise-base SharePoint 2013.

I would like to Use ADFS Authentication between SharePoint Server 2013 And Exchange Server 2013 by ADFS 3.0.

I use "Integrated Windows Authentication"at the time of the access from the PC which joined to AD domain.

When I access it from WORKGROUP / Internet / Other Device, I want to do Single Sign-On like Office365.
Therefore I think that it is necessary to synchronize it in an account of the Windows Authentication when
I log in by the ADFS authentication.


Does anyone know what the synchronization method of the account in such requirements?

details:
I build SharePoint Server 2013 which join Active Directory domain now.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh305235(v=office.15).aspx

I configured ADFS and SharePoint in reference to the above URL and
was able to log in, but it is recognized as a different User ID in the same user
at the Windows authentication and the ADFS authentication, and a profile,
individual site access privileges become the thing of the another User ID.

Though it is the same user, I am as follows
eg.
 Account Name
  Windows Auth:DOMAIN\user01
  ADFS Auth :i:05:t|adfs|user01@maildomain


Please, please help me !


Sharepoint 2013 Search problem

Hi,

I am having issues with the search option in SharePoint 2013. Of course I also have errors in my eventlog, 6398 to be more precise, every 5 minutes.

When I search, it returns this.

Now I read that it might be because It didn't crawl. So I went to Manage Service Applications, and content sources on my Search Service. And I can't edit it even on the system account. Also I tried starting it even if I can't access it, and it says Starting for about a day now, it won't stop, I guess it's stuck there.

Hi,

I need to create a sitecollection in a (pre-provisioned = existing) content database. I did not find a solution yet to perform this task. I was only able to do the following:

a) Dear SharePoint, please create this site collection where ever you like.

b) Dear SharePoint, please create this site collection in a NEW database.

Is it anyhow possible to influence/force SharePoint to create a sitecollection in an existing database?

Thanks

SharePoint 2013 Apps, where are they stored?

I'm finding the Apps, "workflow process" a little confusing.

If an app is downloaded from the SharePoint store to an on-premise farm, where is it stored, and does it run from a server on the internet? 



SSRS content not appearing in SharePoint 2013

$

We have a multi-sever installation of SharePoint 2013 SP1 we are trying to get working for BI environment.

We have most features working, including Kerberos delegation of user credentials in PerformancePoint and Excel Services.  However, we are having issues getting SSRS (SharePoint Integrated) working in our multi-server solution.  These reports work fine in our single-server Development environment, but when we deploy them to the scaled-out SharePoint farm, the reports become non-functional. 

We can see the breadcrumb header for the current report folder, and also see the control pane that gives us a list of available actions, and the navigation controls, but everything else is empty.  The navigation controls are never populated with information, and the entire screen below remains blank white.  No error is visible.

Our configuration uses 4 servers.  Server (A) is the front-end SharePoint server; Server (B) is the back-end application server [which also hosts the Central Admin site]; Server (C) hosts all the SQL databases; and Server (D) is dedicated to SQL Analysis Services.  We have installed SQL Reporting Services (SharePoint Integrated) on Server (B), and have also installed the Reporting Services Add-In for SharePoint on server (A).  We are using SQL 2012 for all SQL functions, and SP 2013 SP1. 

Can anyone provide any assistance on where else I can look, or what I may be missing to get this configuration working?

Thanks in advance,

Elohir
