SharePoint 2013 Workflow in a multi farm environment doesn't start - Workflow Manager installation complete

August 5, 2015, 10:14 pm

Hello friends

I've got 1 WFE, 1 App server, 1 SQL server and 1 OWA server in my farm. I've installed Workflow Manager and Client on the APP server and Workflow Manager Client on the WFE. The wizard ran successfully creating all the workflow manager config and dbs no problem. I've used a dedicated service account for this (which is setup as a managed service account thru Central admin). I've installed the latest Service Bus, Workflow Manager and Client CUs.

PROBLEM. I've got a simple custom list (OOTB) with a simple SharePoint designer 2013 workflow that is setup to updating the workflow status to a message when either an item is created in the list or modified. Just ONE action in the workflow - the most basic thing in a workflow. The workflow doesn't seems to actually do anything when adding new or changing item although workflow settings are set up as such. I'm not running as SYSTEM account just my own account (which is site collection admin).

The workflow publishes fine. I verified that I can browse to http://myurl:12291 and the end points at port 12291 are accessible,  but only using the service account credentials.

I'm completely stumped - don't know what to look for in the logs or where to start debug this.

Help and thank you

PS. When I click on the file menu on "Workflow" I get this in the logs on my WFE only: System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.

PS2. Event Log - under Workflow Manager I get warnings like this

Failed SQL command after 1 tries with error '229'. Exception: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'InsertTrackingAndStatus', database 'SPPROD_WFInstanceManagementDB', schema 'dbo'.

Hi there,

I have multiple site collections in my web application.
We need to show same Top Navigation in ALL site collections - and it should have ALL site Collections as:

Home | HR | IT | Finance

Each of above is a site collection. 

When I mouse-hover HR, then it should show a drop-down menu of its sub-sites.

Thanks.

File Not Found - default.aspx in Subsites - Migration Issue - Sharepoint 2013

August 6, 2015, 11:04 am

Hi,

We recently did a migration from TFS Sharepoint 2007 to Sharepoint 2013:

Situation:

-> We had a content Database with "/" Root Site collection in SP 2013 (Already)

-> We attached a content Database from Sharepoint 2007( passed through SP 2010) with the "/" root Site collection in SP 2013

Changes:

-> As we had same "/" root site collection in both the Content Databases, We did mount of SP2007 Content DB( has lot more content) first and then we added  content DB with the "/" root site collection already in SP 2013.

-> As we did this, We lost "/" root site collection in SP2013 from the Content DB already available in SP 2013

Issue:(Receiving 404 Not found when trying to access Subsites Home page)

-> default.aspx from the subsites is not available in the Subistes of the Site collection from the Content DB(exist already) and we are getting 404 "File Not Found" when try to access the sub site home page. All Site contents are available.

Causes:

-> As the "/" root site collection disappeared as the "/" root site collection was already attached to the web application.

-> Due to which, It is not able to access default.aspx

Please suggest me with your inputs. Hope some one must have gone through the issue before.

Many thanks

Hi,

We have SP2013 farm. Access request emails are not getting triggered. I am getting following error:

Failed attempt 3 sending mail to recipients: shundal@contractor-mcdermott.com. Mail Subject:Shidnal, Vinayak S. wants to access 'TestSecurity'.Error: SmtpException while sending email: System.Net.Mail.SmtpException: Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: 5.7.1 Client does not have permissions to send as this sender     at System.Net.Mail.DataStopCommand.CheckResponse(SmtpStatusCode statusCode, String serverResponse)     at System.Net.Mail.DataStopCommand.Send(SmtpConnection conn)     at System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.Send(MailMessage message)     at Microsoft.SharePoint.Email.SPSmtpClient.Send(MailMessage msg)     at Microsoft.SharePoint.Email.SPSmtpClient.TrySend(MailMessage msg)

Some blogs suggest that there might be a problem with Exchange server. i have few questions:

1. Under which service account does email is sent, is the the app pool account or timer service is responsible to send it?

2. What are the steps to resolve this issue.

Your help will be highly appreciated

Hello,

Actually we are working for a big firm in India and we are planing to configure APP environment for the same. in current scenario we have one development environment with 3  servers in one sub domain of the organisation , and we have separate AD server where all domains are maintained  now we are trying to configure DNS for our APPs, so we have tried one thing as below.

Configured DNS Forward Lookup zone on Domain controllers machine and we are nslookup to it and it is resolving successfully.

Now my query, is this right way to configure DNS on domain controllers machine. because on our dev machines there is no any ADDS services configured so we can not configure Forward lookup zone on local machine.

Hello everyone.

I have a very tricky problem- then user tries to change user properties on my sites(entering to /_layouts/15/EditProfile.aspx page) - it just immediatly reloads without any signs of end. Every other page on user's personal site opens just fine.

This happens in every browser and with every user so far and only solution i can find is just disabling MDS feature.

I'm curios - is there any better workaround for this?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Access request functionality is sending the request email to the site owner when ever a user requests for the access to the site for the first time.

In case, user is rejected or user's request is still awaiting approval, if user tries to request access for the second time, no email is sent.

I tried looking into the logs but could not find anything,

Please suggest.

Does SP2013 on-premise support TLS 1.1 and 1.2?

We are planning to force our client (IE) to use TLS1.1 and 1.2 only. I am unfamiliar with TLS certs may I ask:

1. Does SP2013 on-premise support TLS 1.1 and 1.2? Currently we are using Win2008 as server.
2. If yes, do we need to configure anything in SharePoint in order to apply? I think we only need to replace the old SSL cert with a new one, change some registry, then reboot. Is it correct?

3. Any other advice? Thank you.

2013 Workflows are initiating as Anonymous

For some untraceable reason all workflows on a list are starting with the initiator set to anonymous and then getting stuck at "Not Started".

The services are all running and the anonymous access has not been enabled on the web application or site.

Any idea on how to stop workflows from running as anonymous and to use the user account to instantiate?

Kerberos setup using Apps

July 22, 2015, 2:04 am
$

We are having issues with setting up SP2013 using a single content webapp with Kerberos authentication on it. This content webapp hosts all of our HNSC's, runs on port 443, has no host header and has a site on the root of it with Kerberos correctly configured. 

Unfortunately, for Apps, the behaviour we are seeing is that the users in IE are prompted to login when accessing an App and can't successfully authenticate then login using any credentials, even the farm account. Somewhat gallingly, in Firefox it just works perfectly with no prompting, but IE is our primary browser to get it working in. I was working under the assumption that this is a trusted sites/Intranet zoning issue, but on closer inspection, it looks more like Firefox just doesn't use Kerberos Auth and therefore the prompting doesn't happen.

At the moment I'm considering two options:

1. Creating another web-app configured with a blank root site on port 443 with NTLM to host Apps as a quick fix, but then i'd need to get new IP addresses setup as otherwise port 80 would clash with the existing HNSC web app
2. Revert everything to use NTLM

It seems to say on Technet that Kerberos is supported for Apps as long as they can fall back to NTLM which I believe is already set for the main 443 content web-app in IIS. However, this does not appear to be happening here, as the fact that you can't then manually login when it prompts is different to what I'm reading. Has anyone seen anything similar and got past it?

Thanks,
Robin

Hi,

Does anyone have a explanationen for why I cant add more than one Webpart to my frontsite on my publishing site ?

I have a front page with 3 zones, and in every zone, I would like to have 1 to 3 Content Search Webparts. Its like it only wants to accept one webpart pr. zone.

I have added 2 webparts with success (I don't know what I did, suddenly it worked with no. 2 webpart),  but if I try to add another one, it disappears when I press Save/Ok. When I add the Webparts I can see it, and it shows the result from the contents search i set up. But if I look at the HTML code, there is nothing and of course when I press Save, everything is gone.

It seems that the page isn't register the webpart..  Why why why... im going insane.. Please help me..

Best Regards
