Hi everybody!

I have some strange situation with the permissions in SharePoint 2013.

When I add an AD group to the SharePoint group with special permissions, AD group users get privileges. That’s correct. BUT these users cannot start any workflow until I add them to this SharePoint group directly.

Another issue occurs when I try to filter Person or Group field by SharePoint group ("Choose from" field option). I cannot select any user for the field if there is the AD group only in the SharePoint Group. If I add users to the SharePoint group directly everything works correctly.

So, what is the solution? It is not the way to add every user to the SharePoint group separately.

Hi,

I understand that I can remove the links "Share, Follow, ..." from the Ribbon by setting the Promoted Actions Buttons zu invisible. Until now I only managed to make them invisible as a bundle as I want to keep the Follow Link. 

I need to be able to Follow a document, a list item and a site. I need to be able to share documents, but not to share a website.

Do you have an idea how to accomplish this?

After applying maintenance this weekend, the CreatePage.aspx behavior has changed>
Original behavior was to substitute "-" for spaces in the URL, bow %20 is substituted.
Looking in F12 Debug, I see the code is in function UpdateUrl()

suggestUrlValue += '-';

is changed to

suggestUrlValue += encodeURIComponent(currentChar);

Can I revert this behavior?

%20 causes and error and the user has to manually overtype the dash.

I'm trying to upgrade a 2010 content database to 2013. Test-SPContentDatabase throws this error:

Category: MissingWebPart
Error: True
UpgradeBlocking: False
Message: WebPart class [230ec769-e67e-5017-eb3c-3778f44a47f4] is referenced [2] times in the database [SharePointTest_Content_whatever], but is not installed on the current farm. Please install any feature/solution which contains this web part.
Remedy: One or more web parts are referenced in the database [SharePointTest_Content_whatever], but are not installed on the current farm. Please install any feature or solution which contains these web parts.
Locations       :

The webpart  230ec769-e67e-5017-eb3c-3778f44a47f4 is the DataViewWebPart.

Using this method, http://get-spscripts.com/2011/08/diagnose-missingwebpart-and.html, I found the location of the web part. It says it is on the default.aspx, on a sub site. I cannot find it anywhere on that sub site. I tried using ?Contents=1 on the URL and it doesn't seem to be there. I have deleted everything on the page and the error is still there. As a test I deleted the sub site and the error went away, but deleting the sub site is not an option.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I am setting up a new farm that consists of some web servers, application servers, and a database server. Everything was going great with setting up SharePoint, including user profile synchronization (surprisingly). Sites were loading slow from time to time at first, but I thought it was because the farm wasn't setup entirely yet. The slowness issue has only gotten worse over time, and I can't identify what is causing it, but it is something with authentication.

Whether using NTLM or Kerberos, I am now getting the same issues on our sites. Sometimes sites will prompt three times for credentials, then load blank pages. Other times they will not prompt at all and the page will take 15-20 seconds to load, then does so with no problem. We are getting inconsistent behaviors from user to user, which is the most concerning part of this. Even with clearing browser caches, users get different experiences when using the same browsers, and they have the same permission levels.

Are there specifics that I may be able to provide in order to help troubleshoot what is causing this?

Hello,

I am missing the apps you can add from AddAnApp.ASPX.  All I see is the Noteworthy ones.  Here is what I have:

1. A SharePoint 2013 server with 2 sites on it.

2. One site shows the "Apps You Can Add" and the other one does not.  Missing.

3. With the site that does not show the "Apps you can Add", I have made a backup of it and restored it on another SharePoint 2013 server.  From there, the "Apps you can Add" shows.

4.  I looked at the master page, oslo.html, seattle.html, and a custom.html are the same between the 2 sites (1 site that displays the "apps you can add" and the other site that does not display them).  They should be the same, since its copy, but something is different.

5.  I tried deactivating and activating the SharePoint Server Publishing and the site collection and at the site level.  "Apps you can add" still don't appear.

What else can I try to fix this problem?

Thanks.

We ended up opening a case with Microsoft SharePoint support to troubleshoot a strange SP2013 NavNode problem. I'll share the problem and the solution here because it's good information that probably quite a few others might be able to use. And then I will ask my question about which SQL maintenance jobs should be run for SP2013 databases.

///////////VISIBLE SYMPTOMS///////////

For some of our sharepoint sites we noticed performance problems when adding, removing, or rearranging navigation nodes. Sometimes the change we would make would timeout but ultimately succeed.  Sometimes it would timeout and give a correlation ID and not succeed.  Sometimes we would end up with duplicate navnodes. It was all rather bizarre. And if we used powershell/stsadm to back the site up and restore it to another database, the problem would go away. So we knew it was some kind of corruption in the database.

With debug diagnostics I was able to dump the w3wp.exe while the repro was going on and the only problematic thing I saw was one worker thread “waiting on data to be returned from the database server.”  We could see that the “current executing command is: proc_GetTpWebMetaDataAndListMetaData.”

///////////RESEARCH///////////

Research brought me to this sql query that detects duplicate entries in the navnodes:

http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=mmr_kc-0107890-5

SELECT TOP(20) Count(nav.Eid) AS 'DuplicateCount', nav.DocId, ad.Dirname, ad.Leafname FROM NavNodes AS nav with(nolock) INNER JOIN AllDocs AS ad with(nolock) ON nav.Docid = ad.Id WHERE nav.EidParent = 1025 AND DocID IS NOT NULL GROUP BY nav.DocId, ad.DirName, ad.LeafName ORDER BY 'DuplicateCount' DESC

This was an interesting detour but it didn't really help. The advice at the following sites did NOT help, surprisingly:

    http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=mmr_kc-0107890-5 

    http://sp-thornet.blogspot.ae/2013/05/sharepoint-2010-corrupt-navigation-nodes.html

    http://sharepointbabe.blogspot.com/2013/12/unexpected-error-when-changing-top.html

Also my research pointed out that there was a NavNode duplication that was reintroduced as a regression by the August 2012 CU for SP2010 (note 2010, not 2013) that also had a sql deadlock condition as its root cause, if I remember correctly.  It was solved by a hotfix that was rolled up into the April 2013 CU for SP2010.   I have never heard of this bug showing up in SP2013 (which we are on) but the similarities between what we’re seeing and this bug are palpable. I was wondering if it was a bug. So we opened a case with Microsoft support.

We set ULS logging to VerboseEX level and reproduced the error.  Here is what stood out to the Microsoft support engineer:

////////SOLUTION//////////

Here is the solution the engineer gave us and which worked for us in all our SP2013 farms for all the affected content databases:

On the SQL server, you need to run update statistics and update execution plan for all SharePointDBs
     Exec sp_MSForEachtable 'UPDATE STATISTICS WITH FULLSCAN'
     DBCC FREEPROCCACHE

Use at your own risk. I really didn't think it would help us but it totally solved the problem.  

We were also told:

"After some discussion with others on the support team we would recommend running updating statistics with full scan (possible defragging indexes) on a daily basis.   If the statistics remain updated then the execution plan will remain up to date.  If you delete thousands of documents/files/large site collection.  Then you will also see performance issue and might need to update statistics in the middle of the day." 

/////////QUESTION//////////

Why should we need to run “update statistics” once in a while when https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/932744 says that “update statistics” is “unnecessary because the SharePoint Timer service performs this task automatically.” (Maybe it’s not the exact same kind of updating?)

I checked some of the older sources I could find. . .

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh292622.aspx  - Best practices for SQL Server in a SharePoint Server farm

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=24282  - Database Maintenance for Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ronalg/archive/2008/08/27/sql-maintenance-for-sharepoint-databases.aspx 

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc990273.aspx  -    SQL Server 2008 R2 and SharePoint 2010 Products: Better Together (white paper) (SharePoint Server 2010)

All I see there is, "By using maintenance plans in SQL Server 2008 or SQL Server 2005, an administrator can schedule such operations as running database consistency checks, and reorganizing or rebuilding indexes."

And so I find myself wanting to communicate this to the Microsoft SharePoint Product group:

Since SharePoint timer jobs are supposed to do sql maintenance, and since the right sql maintenance wasn’t done by timer jobs to our sql databases, and since there is zero documentation out there on what maintenance dbas should be doing on sharepoint databases, can you file a bug on this, escalate it to the product group, get a fix for it (a new timer job perhaps)?

It makes me wonder what sql maintenance jobs are running on the SQL servers that host the sharepoint databases for o365's sharepoint online.

So what do you forum readers know that I don't about this? Did I miss some documentation? Which SQL maintenance jobs should be set up for SP2013 databases on SQL2012?

Thanks for considering it!

need an admin on premises management and alerting tool (not third party) to work for Sharepoint 2013. if there are recommended powershell scripts that you consider  please let me know

Hello, 

Any suggestions with issue will be very much appreciated.

I created a document library, all the options on the ribbon are grayed out and so i'm unable to get to the library settings. I have checked and this has nothing to do with permissions as i have full control.

Thanks

Our SP admin is saying security update KB3085501 that we pushed down to the SharePoint servers is causing issues. I'm trying to remove them off the server through Installed Updates. There's no uninstall option when you right click the update. WUSA doesn't work either saying the update isn't installed. Is this normal on SharePoint servers?

I have recently started playing around with Sharepoint 2013 and I'm unsure how to setup web authentication for external access.

The site is setup on root. Binding the Sharepoint 80 site on IIS to the external address without alternate access mapped causes 401 Unauthorized. Adding the alternate access by using the Internet field allows access to the site but it auto logins to the Sharepoint System Account. I haven't extended the app due to the possible port change.

Is there a way to force user verification?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I am planning to start up my own small company, I intend to sell software services using sharepoint. To start with it will be 5 people company, without about 100 users from multiple companies accessing sharepoint with a login. Users will self register, pay and use the software. There will a site collection for each of company. 

So Demo will be public, Actual Users will have to login using their live/google accounts.  

Do I need buy CALs for each of the user?

Hi All, 

I'm experiencing long running queries (more than 9 hours) in SQL Server which are running under the SharePoint Farm Account. My environment is a SharePoint 2013 and SQL Server 2012. 

It runs 5 trace write queries on the master database using my SharePoint farm account and it appears to be invoking from the SharePoint App server.

All queries are similar which uses the OpenRowSet query. (select * from OpenRowSet(TABLE TRCDATA... ) 

I have two questions.

1. How can I disable these traces so that it won't come in future again?

2. If we can't turn them off, will these queries have a major impact on the overall performance and if so what we can do to prevent it? 

Regards,

Supun

Hi All,

I have set up SharePoint 2013 distributed cache in the UAT environment as follows: 1. Application Server  2. Two Web End servers.

The Distributed Cache setup is as follows: 1. The 22233-22236 ports are opened on each SharePoint server i.e. Application server and  two Web End servers. 2. Remote Registry service on each SharePoint server. 3. The ICMPv4 inbound traffic for each SharePoint server.  The DC instances on working fine on all SharePoint Servers with following commands:

Use-CacheCluster Get-CacheHost with each DC service status showsUP status for all SharePoint Servers as shown: 

The UAT environment does not have Firewall appliance and I have configured firewall for each server individually. 

However, the organization haspre-production and production separate Firewall appliance.  The UAT has same set up as pre-production environment with 1 App Server and 2 WFEs.  The Network team is now asking for Source and Destination for SharePoint Servers for DC.  I have giving this setup team for SharePoint Server in thepre-production environment.  

 Network team has opened the firewall for above servers. 

However, the App, WFE01, 02 following status:

and it should UP status across the farm.

Q: WhatSource and Destination should I use so that DC status showsUP for all the servers?
Q: Is Distributed Cache ports should be opened bi-directionally?AnyTechNet article that I can refer to?

Hello all,

I have started rolling out SharePoint in my Organization. I currently have 2 Front End Web Servers, 1 App Server and a SQL Server.

I have a couple of questions.

I do not have SharePoint Running on my SQL server, do I need that installed on that machine?

I have ran into a problem,

First of all, I am using the Network Load balancing product provided by Microsoft.

First Front End Server IP is .51 (Hostname is con-fshare-01), and the second is .52 (hostname is con-fshare-02), and my virtual is .50

I have a DNS entry of sharepoint.contoso.com pointed to .50

I created a Web Application named http://sharepoint.contoso.com/

I created a test team site under sharepoint.contoso.com/sites/test_team

When trying to get to that web address I get a File or directory not found - 404

Can anyone help?
