what are the steps and what permissions are required and where to add it?

However, I have a Enterprise Licence of SharePoint 2013 ans there is not another error message, but I cannot add an app from SharePoint Store.

Thanks in advance for your answer.

What Has Happened to Workflow in SharePoint 2013

$

I am at a loss to get workflow 2013 to work with SharePoint 2013. I am astonished that workflow (other than the broken and buggy 2010 version) is not part of SharePoint 2013. What on earth were they thinking. as if that is not bad enough they have managed to break the installation of WorkFlow 2013. This has been reported numerous times by numerous people and needless to say the response from Microsoft has been complete silence.

In desperation I have just created a virtual machine with 2012R2 standard edition. I have installed (using the SharePoint 2013 +sp1 disk) the SharePoint Prerequisites. Next I follow the link they have provided to "optional software" where it lists workflow manager. Instead of running an MSI or EXE they run the Web Platform Installer 5.0. After a bit of downloading and installing it tells me: "We're sorry. The following products have failed to install.

Microsoft Windows Fabric V1 RTM

This product did not install successfully: Invalid command line argument"

So SharePoint 2013 doesn't have workflow and this bug has been present since it came out and the web is filled with people asking about it.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Incoming Email Settings for the libraries in My Sites and Personal Sites

$

Hello Friends,

                   I'm currently working on SharePoint 2013 implementation where My Sites have been configured in a separate web application and personal sites are being stored under same web application.

Ex: My Site Host : http://mysite.abc.com

      All Personal sites: http://mysite.abc.com/Personal/firstname_lastname

These are the challenges I'm facing...

1. I enabled Incoming Emails for one of the document library in My Site host but not receiving emails. (All settings are properly configured, document libraries in other sites (team sites) are getting emails.). I doubt the problem is only with my site template.

2. Incoming Email Settings are not appearing in "one Drive" document library in my personal site( which is "Documents" library in personal site). So I added Email event as stated here and here  and settings are started appearing, but I can enter only email address as other settings are not appearing.  Here also I'm facing the same problem.

Kindly share ideas if any.

Thanks!!

Event 6398, SharePoint Foundation

I have been working on this for the past week with no resolution.  The setup is a Windows Server 2012 R2 as the APP server, Windows Server 2012 R2 as the WFE server, Windows Server 2012 R2 as the Outlook Web Access server, Windows Server 2012 R2 as the Workflow Server and a Windows Server 2008 R2 SQL Server running SQL 2008 R2.  This is the powershell shell script that I am running for the User Profile Service:

#User Profile Service Creation

#Get Managed Account
$acct = get-spmanagedaccount "DOMAIN\SP_UserProfile"

#Create App Pool
$AppPool = New-SPServiceApplicationPool -Name "UserProfileAppPool" -Account $acct

#New Profile Service Application
$UPA = New-SPProfileServiceApplication -Name "User Profile Service Application" -ApplicationPool $AppPool -ProfileDBName "SP_ProfileDB" -ProfileSyncDBName "SP_ProfileSyncDB" -SocialDBName "SP_SocialDB"

#New Proxy
New-SPProfileServiceApplicationProxy -Name "User Profile Service Application Proxy" -ServiceApplication $upa

#Set Synchronization machine
$UPS=Get-SPServiceInstance -Server APPSVR | ? {$_.Typename -eq "User Profile Synchronization Service"}
$username = read-host "User name"
$password = read-host -assecurestring "Password"
$upa.SetSynchronizationMachine("APPSVR", $UPS.Id, $UserName, $Password)

#Start the User Profile Services up
Get-SPServiceInstance -Server APPSVR | ? {$_.Typename -eq "User Profile Service"} | Start-SPServiceInstance
$ups | Start-SPServiceInstance

One issue is the instance is residing on the WFEIIS instead of the APP server (AppSvr specificied in the script above) and I am getting this error in Event Viewer on the WFEIIS Server every 5 minutes:

List does not exist error

$
0
0

I just completed an upgrade from WSS 3.0 to 2013. All went well, but we have 1 site collection that has 1 list that is a problem.  The list in question shows up fine, I can see items in the view sorted and grouped properly, change to a new view without problem.  I cannot however, view, edit, or add items, update views, or manage list settings. It returns:

"Sorry, something went wrong
List does not exist.

The page you selected contains a list that does not exist.  It may have been deleted by another user."

It also will not crawl the URL in search

"The SharePoint list pointed to by this URL does not exist. Verify that it can be accessed using an internet browser. ( Error from SharePoint site: List does not exist. The page you selected contains a list that does not exist.  It may have been deleted by another user.; SearchID = 89435ED7-ACBD-4EE7-9C93-63052400E2B2 )"

I have poked through the database, and validated that the list does indeed exist and it's ID is correct.  I have used powershell to successfully change list settings, so it recognizes it on that level (I was able to change Dialogs to NO via PS) .  I can get to the newform.aspx page if I go there directly (rather than the URL SharePoint interprets the clicks as)There were no errors in the upgrade log pertaining to the list or a missing feature that exists on that site.  Only warning in the upgrade log was pertaining to not having the "Hello" web part from Bamboo installed in 2010 or 2013. 

Nothing special about this list.  It only uses out of the box stuff.  I re-enabled out WSS3 site, and verified it works, and so I could look a little closer.  It is a custom list and does have a couple calculated fields, is it possible they are causing errors?   I have changed the formula via powershell just return a 1 (and validated the data did return that way) 

I have tried to delete these columns via powershell unsuccessfully

Exception calling "Delete" with "0" argument(s): "Cannot complete this action. Please try again."
At line:1 char:1
+ $column.delete()
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : SPException

Though I was able to delete them out of the content type in PS without issue.  Any thoughts?

Best way to apply design changes to an in production site or list

$

We have a site/lists already in production. Recently, we make lot changes in designs in our development servers which include fields, views, workflows and event receivers. Now, I need to apply the changes to production. The options I have are:

(1) Write script to copy live data to the development site, back up the site, then restore the backup to the production.

(2) Redo all the works we done in the development site and test all new functions.

I just wonder there is a better way to apply the new changes to our production site?

Thank you.

Greetings,

I have been having some issues with various areas in a SharePoint 2013 farm.  While working my way through a bazillion errors in the event logs, I have found the following error.  It looks to be happening every hour; almost exactly 5 minutes after every hour.

"Cannot connect to SQL Server. A_PROD_SP01 not found. Additional error information from SQL Server is included below.
Timeout expired.  The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding."

I also find, a health analyzer rule that is failing at the same time:

Availability: One or more servers is not responding.

However, there isn't any server listed in the Failing Servers section.

Any thoughts?

Thank you,

Web parts on Wiki Pages/SitePages disappear when editing

$

On site collections that have been migrated from 2010 to 2013, when we try to edit a web part on a site page (a wiki page content type in the Site Pages library), the web part will disappear from the page after you try to edit it. Other than recreating all the pages as Web Part Pages, is there a fix for this? I've seen others report on this issue since 2013, but no resolution.

Profile Photo Import/Export with AD

$
0
0

I have a slightly complex scenario.  We have an old SharePoint 2007 server that we used for a corporate directory that wasn't set up by me.  The person who did is gone.  Synchronization was setup such that one could upload a photo in their profile there, and that photo began propagating to all presence enabled applications like Outlook and Lync.

It's my understanding from some reading that those photo's were synced with AD, and that's where Lync and Outlook pull them from.

1. is that correct?  

I did pull up the attribute editor in active directory users and computers, and I do see data in the thumbnailphoto section for my profile, which has a working picture when I open Outlook or Lync.

Next, we have a new SP 2013 server we built for a new project for Business Intelligence Reporting.  I successfully setup the UPS and synced.  In my profile there I see all of my AD data except the photo.

On the new SP 2013 server, I followed instructions on how to go in to Manage User Properties, picture attribute, and add the property mapping for my domain, thumbnailphoto, direction = import.

I then ran a full sync of the UPS, but I still don't see my photo.

2. Is direction "import" the correct direction to try to get my existing photo from AD?

3. If I want to start using this new SP 2013 environment to be authoritative for these photo's, can I add both an import and an export mapping for this property in the same configuration?

4. If I can add both import and export, what happens if there is a conflict with a photo uploaded into the sp 2013 environment vs photo's that may still be exporting from the SP 2007 environment?  

I'm going to assume they would start overwriting one another in AD unless I disable that configuration in sp 2007, when the various sync jobs execute.

5. Does anyone know where this photo is actually stored in AD?  I find it hard to believe it would actually be inside the AD database but I don't know everything.

Any help is greatly appreciated..

Do we need to stop DPM backups when updating SP2013 with CU

$

Hi - planning to install the Dec14 CU and want to know if it is required to Stop DPM protection when running PSConfig?

Our DPM guy says DPM protection cannot be paused - only stopped and this would remove the Protection group completely and we would need to reconfigure afterwards. He thinks that because DPM bacup is different to SQL in that it only reads the T Logs to synchronize every 15min after the daly full backup at 8PM - so as long as we avoid running PSConfig when the full backup runs it should be no problem

I have always had SQL backups stopped when updating SharePoint - is the DPM guy right that I don't need to worry about DPM syncs?

Thanks
