Hi,

 I have a Singles Server Farm for SP2013 where I am facing the below error when I access the Central Admin.

HTTP/1.1 200 OKServer: Microsoft-IIS/8.0Connection: close
I Have other Web applications on the same server which are connecting and working fine. 
I tried several things (as mentioned below) but to no luck.
1) Ran Sharepoint  config Wizard Successfully, Result Same.
2) Ran Powershell PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force successfully, result same.
3) Unprovisioned Central Admin Through Powershell psconfig.exe -cmd adminvs -port 1000 -provision
   Reporvisioned Central Admin Through Powershell psconfig.exe -cmd adminvs -port 1000 -provision , Result Same
4) Unprovisioned Central Admin Through Powershell
   Recreated CCentral Admin through Powershell New-SPCentralAdministration -Port 1001 , Result Same 

Is there any way to drop the Central Admin and recreate it without effecting the existing Site Collections?

Any Help is highly appreciated.

Rgds,

Does anyone have an explanation of why Information Management policies can stop working for a site, Raising the Value of the List View Lookup Threshold then allows it to work again.

The query that runs as part of the Information Management policies must be governed by  the list view lookup threshold. Most of our sites are set to 8 (default) and expiration runs fine. On one site a large number of columns were added to a library and Expiration stopped moving files to another library. Increasing the list view lookup threshold to 16 then allowed Expiration to start moving the files.

What confused me was the definition of a lookup column as  Standard lookup columns, single-value managed metadata, multiple-value managed metadata, single-value people and group columns, and multiple-value people and group columns , Workflow Status (one for each workflow) , Created by , Modified by ( people ) are obviously counted as lookup columns . I counted these and concluded that I only had 7 however what I did not realise is that each workflow assigned to the Library or Content Type within the library geneartes its own column that can only be seen when modifying a view or using a tool such as Sharepoint Manager. Therefore I had 21, List View Lookup Threshold is broken. Information Management policies stop working.

Can someone tell me if I have this right as it will mean a serious re-design of our Lists and Libraries.

Hi All,

Issue: In a Multi Farm architecture (Cross farm Services) from a consuming farm ,I am unable to get a reference to Search Service Application object  (using Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication).

I am trying to create a managed property at site collection level using PowerShell script

Below is the code snippet I used:

$site = Get-SPSite http://sitecollectionurl
$siteguid = $site.id
proxy= [Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceApplicationProxy]::
 GetProxy([Microsoft.SharePoint.SPServiceContext]::GetContext($site));
 $proxy.ServiceEndpointUri
 
$ssaId = $proxy.GetSearchServiceApplicationInfo().SearchServiceApplicationId

I am able to get the GUID of Search Service Application created in Publishing Farm

Not sure what exactly is the issue bur the following statement is failing

  $mmproperty=Get-SPEnterpriseSearchMetadataManagedProperty -Identity RefinableDate00
 -SearchApplication $ssaId -SiteCollection $siteguid

Get-SPEnterpriseSearchMetadataManagedProperty : SearchApplication $ssaId not found.
At line:1 char:14

 NOTE: I am able to create a managed property using UI- SiteSettings-> SiteCollection Administration-> Search Schema-> New Managed Property

I would really appreciate your help in this regard.

Thanks,
Daram

Production Farm (SharePoint 2013)

-2 WFEs (hardware load balanced)

-2 APPs

servers in the farm can't communicate via virtual loadbalancer ip

so I've edited the host file for SharePoint each server and manually put the for each of the

sites (HNSC) in the format

<shorturl>  IP

<FQDN>     IP

I'm using InfoPath and SharePoint web services to auto populate form. Form uses udcx connection files edited with right secure store target application ID, however each time I load the form in the browser I greeted with "Warning there has been an error while processing the form." No error ID.

I believe the culprit is secure store service which generating a number of errors. I need help in resolving these errors. Anytime I run an iiSreset and I try to access the secure store service application I'm greeted with "Cannot complete this action as the Secure Store Shared Service is not responding. Please contact your administrator." When I refresh the service page the error goes away and appears as though secure store is working fine. however these events are logged in Windows log.

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 ?

We plan to have a server that store video files and images as file server, and I wonder how to do housekeeping in this kind of DAM system. I do not have much knowledge in it.

From information read from the internet, I just have general idea of housekeeping, like backup, file virus scan, maintain server resource. It would be nice if someone could tell me more about it, please.

Hi there,

We have 500 employees and Monthly Usage showing me 14000 unique users.

There seems to be an issue with SharePoint analytic. Unique users don't reflect the total number of employees in the organization.

Could you please explain how to read Monthly Usage vs Daily Usage?

Thank you

Hi All,

We have an user just hired from contractor to full time. His old user name was changed from "xxx\am_z0902" to "xxx\am_93321" in active directory. So his "SID" is not change just a renamed. 

We have some custom code on our home page and it reaches out the user profile serves to get an one of his properties . When the renamed user visits the page and code throws an exception.

Looking at the ULS logs, I see that page is requested by his new name. Then custom code is searching his attribute on user profile with his old name. It is very odd and exception is being thrown saying "Could not get the property of the user "xxx\am_z0902".

I tired the followings:

1- Look at the user profile service to find the user and I see that it is showing the new name

2- Look through the synchronization logs (Forefront IM) to see if there is an error and there is an error complaining about "Exception while trying to migrate account "xxx\am_z0902 " to "xxx\am_9321"

3- then I tried to migrate account by stsadm migrateuser like following:

stsadm -o migrateuser -oldlogin "xxx\am_z0902" -newlogin "xxx\am_66481" -ignoresidhistory 

then I got an error

stsadm: The specified old login name could not be found. No records had been updated.

that is all I tried and I cannot solve this. I wish I can :)

We have a SharePoint 2013 farm consisting of two WFEs, two application servers and a search server.

We have recently applied the following updates to our SharePoint 2013 farm:

KB3085501
KB3085483
KB3054813

Ever since applying these patches we are getting intermittent 503 errors from either a page requested or resources on the page (css / images / etc). Looking in the event viewer, there are the following errors showing:

A runtime exception was detected. Details follow.
Message: The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable.

Technical Details:
System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable.
   at Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchApi.RunOnServer[T](CodeToRun`1 remoteCode, CodeToRun`1 localCode, Boolean useCurrentSecurityContext, Int32 versionIn)
   at Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchApi..ctor(SearchServiceApplication application)
   at Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceApplication.get_SearchApi()
   at Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceInstance.Synchronize()

After some searching, we have tried starting / restarting application pools but this has had no effect. I've looked at the seach service (which the error seems to point to) but can't find any problems.

Has anyone else had similar issues after installing these updates?

Thanks

We have allot of customers in different times zones that all use the same lists, libraries and calendars setup in our location.

How can we display the other time zone locations on a list or library so that all the customers can see their time zone?

Currently, I only see the option to setup regional time zones at the site collection regional settings or at the site regional settings, but do not see any options on list or libraries.

I tried finding a 'formula' for a new custom column to convert the created and modified field into different time zones, but couldn't find any examples.

Suggestions?

Regards

We are using SharePoint 2013 on-premise standard edition. I noticed there was same question at 2009. I am not sure whether it is an old bug or feature.

We have a list with "require content approval" enabled. By setup "Alert me" on that list for  "New items are added", a confirmation email will be immediately sent. The mail will confirm user have setup "alert me" on that list. However, whatever new item added to the list, regardless the item is approved/pending/rejected, no email is sent.

After we change "New items are added" to "All changes", the "alert me" work as expected.

Is it desired behaviour?
