Hi
We have two SharePoint 2013 Farms and we are trying to Move a site collection (with all content) from one SharePoint farm to another SharePoint Farm. Both the Farms have their own DB servers.
Can pls suggest how this can be achieved. Please elaborate the steps with any commands if applicable.
Thanks in advance.
Hello all,
I am trying to generate a farm backup from our SharePoint environment and have tried the following (main code) :
Add-PSSnapIn "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy "Unrestricted" -Force
Backup-SPFarm -directory $farmBackupPath -backupmethod Full
In the log file, I see this error :
FatalError: Object Search Service Application failed in event OnBackup. For more information, see the spbackup.log or sprestore.log file located in the backup directory.
InvalidOperationException: Failed to set request to pause search application
I have done some google search and found this:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/f2900462-62df-4ad3-b5d1-5ac9614e3eab/fatal-error-when-trying-to-backup-sharepoint-server-failed-to-set-request-to-pause-search?forum=sharepointadmin
But this did not help resolve the issue.
Has anyone encountered this problem and found a different solution ?
Thank you all,
Mya
I want to make a Timer job in 2013 (I am on-prem) that can start up multiple workflows. These workflows need to run in a user context that has contribute access to the whole site collection. I understand that by default the Timer job runs as the user context of the OWSTimer service (farm account) and that account is not allowed to kick off workflows.
Can I specify that a workflow start as a specific user? Also, we are using Claims authentication and Negotiate (Kerberos) is the first provider and NTLM is the second (in IIS this is visible / configured). Thanks!
Hi,
Would like to know how to get the diagram for app model development infra.
any links is appreciated.
Hi!
We have a SharePoint 2013 multi tenancy farm (on-premise!) and we would like to have a separate outgoing email address for each tenant. We know how to configure the outgoing email address for the farm or for a web application, but we would like to have an individual from address for each tenant. We have looked at SPSite.OutgoingEmailAddress as a workaround already, but that does not seem to work, because email still show the farm setting as the sender address. Any suggestions?
Regards,
Daniel
Hello All -
My client has requested that she be able to remove (or hide) the "Recent" menu header from the left menu in Sharepoint 2013. This is for specified site collections/sites/pages, not farm-wide.
So far, I've tried to do this via JQuery by adding the following code
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery(".ms-core-listMenu-item:contains('Recent')").parent().hide();
});
</script>
via both a script web-part and via a content editor web-part (using embed code), but to no avail. I've also tried adding the code above to a .js file (without the script tags) and calling it as
<script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/15/menu.remove.recent.js"></script>
instead, but it still doesn't work.
I've checked the page source and I can see the script is included. The "Recent" menu item however, is still there. My prefered solution would be to hide the menu item rather than remove it - I suspect removing it will probably cause issues as Sharepoint likely expects it to be there.
There's no requirement to use JQuery - it just seemed to me to be the best way. I would also rather not edit master pages unless there's no other choice.
Any ideas?
sysadmin
Here is the scenario that I'm in. UserA uploads a document to a SharePoint 2013 site list. All permissions on SharePoint are using AD groups which this user is a member of. UserA changes last name, so I change this user account in AD.
When looking at the original document uploaded, the name is showing the old name. If I click on the name I get this:
http://servername/my/Person.aspx?accountname=with a bunch of gibberish for the rest of the url and the error message:
Not Found - HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found
If I edit the item and remove the user it lets me and when I try to add the user using the new name which it resolves successfully I'm able to save my changes, but the name displayed stays the same.
Any ideas on why this is happening? and/or how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated...thanks.
I'm not at all familiar with SharePoint but I'm trying to verify something that our SharePoint administrators has told me. Are there any negative effects to deleting a user account from Active Directory in relation to SharePoint when it's syncing its user list with AD?
What the admin is telling me is that I can never delete an account from AD because then any documents created or modified by that user will be orphaned and possibly become corrupt. The creator (or modified) user will show as the deleted users SID rather than a user and any audit trail vanishes.
I've done some searching online and cannot find information to corroborate his story (in fact I feel I've found the opposite) but as I have very little experience with SharePoint I'm hoping someone here can give me an answer as to whether it's safe to delete AD accounts when SharePoint is "connected" to it.
We're using SharePoint 2013 and if more information is required I can attempt to supply it. I also believe we're using FIM to synchronize the accounts and not the Active Directory Import, but I can verify this if it makes a difference to the answer.
Thanks!
Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation GetNavigationTermSetForProvider(CachedAreaLookup cachedAreaLookup, taxonomySiteMapProviderSettings providerSettings, out Exception error)
i get the "Error loading navigation: The Managed Navigation term set is improperly attached to the site" today. Seem i am not alone (http://www.shailwx.com/2012/07/sharepoint-2013-errors-error-in-managed-navigation/), however, iisreset does not works for me.
And message in ULS log does not provide more helpful information, i had to attach to w3wp and debug with Visual Studio and .net reflector.
Turned out that the following line from Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation.TaxonomyNavigationCache.GetNavigationTermSetForProvider(CachedAreaLookup cachedAreaLookup, taxonomySiteMapProviderSettings providerSettings, out Exception error) always return null
NavigationTermSetAttachedWeb attachedWeb = set.LoadedTermSet.GetAttachedWeb()
that is, what follows always returns null.
internal override NavigationTermSetAttachedWeb GetAttachedWeb()
{return this.termSetData.AttachedWeb;}
It seems that there should be some spweb guid written into the termset, but it is lost for my case.
The solution is to switch back to structure navigation in site settings->navigation and switch to managed navigation again. This way, the lost attached web id seems to be written again.
However, i really don't understand why the id can be missing. I remember this morning when i edit the managed termset, the "use this term set for site navigation" in "intended use" for the term set was incorrectly unchecked. I wonder whether this could have caused the problem.
As I am not too familiar with sharepoint set ups I was wondering if someone could answer what the best practice would be for our situation. 9 cities, but head office and datacenter in our city.
Are either of these scenarios the correct set up??
Scenario 1:
Server 1: Windows Server 2012 with Sharepoint
Standard 2013 and SQL Server Standard 2014
Server 2: Windows Server 2012 with Microsoft Web
Apps
Scenario 2:
Server 1: Windows Server 2012 with Sharepoint
Standard 2013
Server 2: Windows Server 2012 with SQL Server
Standard 2014
Also, if you have time, what hardware requirements will be needed on each server?
Thank you in advance!
After cu upgrade and configuration wizard run, the Database status shows:
Database Type Status
WSS_Content MetadataWebServiceDatabase Database is too old and upgrade is required
ManagedMetaData MetadataWebServiceDatabase No action required
it seems that there is already a database for MetadataWebServiceDatabase type and that is fine. The WSS_Content is used for "Content database" type already, but it also used for MetadataWebServiceDatabase type, that really should not be there (it could be that I setup Managed Metadata service initially using WSS_Content database but then re-set that to use dedicated db.
Is there a way to get rig of that MetadataWebServiceDatabase type associated with WSS_Content?
Hi All,
We have OWA 2013 with SharePoint 2013. A Trusted certificate is deployed at Load Balancer for OWA (SP_OWA_CERT) and DNS has been setup as owa.company.com. The Office Web Apps URL ishttps://owa.company.com for LB side.
Q: Does Office Web Apps 2013 server (SPOWA13) also requires same certificate (SP_OWA_CERT) trusted certificate for users that communicate with load balancer? Users requests a document and LB has OWA Certificate. The SharePoint
WFE has document and communicates with OWA server using WOPI protocol. The document then is returned via LB to user.
Is above diagram fine?
User >> LB Certificate (SP_OWA_CERT) >> WFE server (Self Sign Certificate) >> OWA Cert (SP_OWA_CERT)
Any help would be greatly appreciated?

Hello,
A client of ours recently migrated from WSS 3.0 to SharePoint Foundation 2013 via a series of database-attach upgrades. The content upgrades all completed successfully, and then the sites were upgraded to Claims authentication, which also appears to have completed successfully. The issue we've run into is that certain users are getting the message "Sorry, you cannot access this page" when browsing into sub-folders inside a shared document library. They are able to see all the folders they have permission to, but they get denied when they try to browse into the folders through the site; however, if they click the ellipsis button and select "Share" they can get into the selected folder by entering the share URL into their browser, and they can also get into the sub-folder using Explorer mode. Has anyone seen this before, or have any idea what might fix this?
Thank you in advance for any help!
Hi,

I set the Global Navigation to use "Managed Navigation using term set". In the Navigation setting page this is "Add new pages to navigation automatically" I checked box. (Specify the default setting for new pages created in sites using Managed Navigation)
But when I created a new page, the page title is not created in the term store as a new term. I understand when a new term is created in the term set I can link it to a page, if the page already created. I thought if the above check box is checked it means when a new page is created the corresponding named term will be created in the term set that is used for navigation.
Can some one tell me what is the correct behaviour for this feature?
Dear All,
We are going to deploy DocAve Backup and Restore solution for Microsoft SharePoint as Backup software, our infrastructure description a single domain, single site and single SharePoint farm contains the following:
2 front-end Servers (Hyper-V VM) – software load balanced
2 Application servers (Hyper-V VM)
2 SQL instances– Active-Active cluster
I don’t know this point will help or not but we have (TSM) Tivoli Storage Manager which is responsible for backing up the SQL servers and other servers.
It’s my first time to deal with DocAve, so if there is any advice, procedures, suggestions, concerns or best practices for deploying, implementing and managing DocAve with the SharePoint farm I will be so glad to share it with me.
