I'm receiving the following error when I run the SharePoint 2013 Products Configuration Wizard.  Any help would greatly be appreciated. 



Changing SharePoint content db name

$

0

Hi,

Just wanted to check options here. We are migrating servers and it is a possibility that the content database name will be different for the new server. If I were to run the config wizard on the SharePoint front end server and insert the new content db name, does this change automatically propagate to service applications that have the content db name like the search service for example? Or do I have to manually re-create these service applications?

thanks,

Hi All, 

We have a Logging database that has increased to 120 GB and taking too much space in our DB servers. 
We have followed this blog to purge the logging DB by running following commands: 


Set-SPUsageDefinition -Identity"Page Requests" -DaysRetained 3 and then run the usage reports but for last two days the is not reduced as shown: 



Its our Live SharePoint Farm. 
Can we do DBCC to shrink .MDF files to reduce as PowerShell is not helping us? 
Any other suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.

SQL server for sharepoint 2013

$

We are planning to implement a sharepoint farm. With two web servers, one office web application server, and a SQL server.

For SQL server, we also see if we need a cluster fail over for high availability.

If we want to  make use of high availability or disaster recovery, we need SQL Enterprise edition, correct? Do we also need to install windows cluster? Any recommendations

Any step by step instruction of how to prepare /install SQL server for SharePoint is appreciated too

Thanks,

KB3085483 broke SharePoint workflows design capability

$
0
0

Yesterday, we got a message on APP Server that Windows must apply critical updates. One of the applied update is 

"Security update for microsoft sharepoint enterprise server (KB 3054813)"

Since this update is applied, i can't edit any of the sharepoint workflows from SharePoint designer. 

This is not a SharePoint designer client issue as i have tried SPD from many client machines.

The key problem is that SPD can't download the file Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices.Activities.Proxy.DLL with version 15.0.0.4753

I have tried many solution (clearing cache, manually copying files from working sharepoint farm etc) but nothing has worked. I always get error message

"The list of workflow actions on the server references an assembly that doesn't exist on server"

The update applied by windows is uninstallable. 

I manage other SharePoint farms, where this update is not applied and those are working fine.

What should i do ?

Customizing SharePoint Designer 2013 install?

$
0
0

We are using SharePoint 2013 and our clients are running Office 2010 and IE9. Can't upgrade Office or IE installs at this point (can't explain), but users want/need the Drag-n-Drop capability of SharePoint.  We know that if you install SharePoint Designer with just the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support options enabled and everything else de-selected, the Drag-n-Drop works (proven on a couple of client PCs).  We wish to deploy that solution across our environment, but we simply cannot find any references to a way to do this using a scripted install or customized XML config.  It appears that Designer (x86or x64) can only be installed via the GUI, but that's not possible for our users.

Suggestions, please!

Recommended reboot schedules for servers in farm

Hi Everyone,

Our SharePoint 2013 farm consists of 2 WFE (load balanced) and 2 APP servers.  I was wondering if there is a Microsoft recommended reboot schedule for servers within a farm.  For instance, rebooting all servers at least once a week or month?

I'd be curious to know what others are doing.

Thanks

End users click the "Join this Community" button on our SharePoint Intranet site.   Once the administrator accepts the request, the user is added to the "Home Members" security group, but is not added to the site "Members" section.  When the user returns to the SharePoint Intranet site, the "Join this Community" button continues to display.    The "Home Members" security group has read permissions to the site.   Any suggestions?    Thank you!!!

SharePoint 2013 incoming emails stuck in drop folder in multi server farm

$

Recently after adding a 3rd Web server to a SharePoint 2013 SP1 farm incoming emails getting stuck (in Drop folder) time to time. I've checked few threads already like these (12 and 3).

Restarting SharePoint Timer Service in all WFE servers seem to resume emails flow most of time. A number of times it appears I need to wait over night for the emails to be picked up. May be "Timer Service recycle" over night helps? Also everytime emails are stuck it appears to be the same WFE server. 

We've configured Incoming emails as per this Technet article following "basic scenario" and SMTP and IIS configured on all WFE servers. Now my question is whether "advanced scenario" is required for multi-server farm? Any suggestion/ comment would be appreciated! 

Thanks in advanced!

Changing the URL of a Host Name Site Collectoin

$

Greetz!

I built up an hnsc and now would like to change the URL. I've got a new one in DNS.

My understanding is I need to run only two commands:

$site = Get-SPSite -Identity https://contoso.old

$site.Rename("https://contoso.new")

Is it unnecessary to backup the site and restore it to the new URL? I'm thinking that is only for path based sites but it's not clear from the posts I've read online.

Will the old URL no longer be operative? So if I go to https://contoso.old it won't display a site...just as going to any nonexistent url would do? Or do I need to remove that URL from DNS?

Thanks!

People Picker is not resolving users/groups in SharePoint 2013

Hi All, 

We have a new web front (WFE_New) end server a month ago and everything looks fine. Used reported for that groups and other users is not resolving where existing Web end server users area able to service resolve without any issue. 

In the new WFE server, we checked the SharePoint ULS logs and found these errors:

We checked the  Trevor Seward’s blog where mentions to have selective Authentication,    for two way authentication. In our environment, we have only one domain.    

Troubleshooting steps we performed

  1.        We also checked the Joel’s blog and tested the following PowerShell for existing and new WFEs server:

$site = get-spsite <Web Application URL> 
$site.UserAccountDirectoryPath 

Both did not show any value.

  1.        Checked all he Ports for LDAP (port 389), LDAPS (port 636), Kerberos (port 88), NETBIOS-ssn (port 139) and Microsoft-DS (port 445). At the both the existing WFE and  New WFE LDAP ports are opened.
  2.        Checked the Microsoft Article about people picker  and checked relevant stsadm commands but did not run the any success.
  3.        We noticed a very strange behaviour on this new WFE. Once try to add a user and type the first name and clicked on Share button, we get the following message: 
    Multiple entries matched, please click to resolve
     
    After clicking on the SharePoint and click on name of the user, we areable to resolve his/her name as shown below: 

We don’t know, if it’s an AD issue or networking issue. But ports are opened for new WFE server, 

Any help would greatly appreciated.
