Hi all,

Our prod SP is somewhat simple (but demands on it (and us) is growing).

IN Central Admin, if you go to Manage Service Applications > Secure Store Service > Manage you get a "Access is denied to the Secure Store Service." message in the UI - there are two options "Generate Key" and "Refresh Key"

Our test site which we thought was an identical copy of prod, doesn't appear to have the service setup and you are greeted with a screen with the only available option to "generate a key". (we haven't been able to find any pass phrases that we are 100% certain are from the initial configuration of this service). we found 1 pass phrase reference, but can't confirm its purpose exactly)

two questisons we have are:

1) does this mean that prod HAS the "store" setup or has something else gone wrong? If so any ideas?

2) IF the store has been setup, but we can't find the passphrase and/or can't get it working - we assume we can destroy and recreate this store - but is there any way to audit what might be using stuff in the store somehow?

Its unlikely that anything outside of SP is using it and I guess we can always restore... but we'd like to know what we're up against...

Any help or suggestions appreciated.

- sure I'm noJedi but that's no reason to stop trying to make stuff levitate! -

Good day,

I inherited a SP2013 Enterprise Server, single box, app and db on one system environment. I am trying to get it going again, fixing things to solidify the foundation of it so it can become a useable Intranet.  My current issue is the User Profile Synchronization Service.  My predecessor had a very duct tape and bubble gum solution for the User Profile Sync and in his absence no one can get this to work.

I have muddled through a good number of error and resolved them.  My current issue is as follows,

When I start the User Profile Synchronization Service, i have a series of errors from the FIMSynchronization Service stating the following.

The server encountered an unexpected error while performing an operation for a management agent.

To test my migration to SP Foundation 2013, I am facing an issue hoping someone can assist.  Here is the scenario:

• I have a WebPart (FusionChartsFree) that has been deployed via a solution to my SP Foundation 2010 Production farm.
• I have successfully deployed the solution to my SP Foundation 2013 farm.
• I have successfully migrated my content DBs to the SP Foundation 2013 farm.
• I have activated the feature to all my site collections.

When I try to add the WebPart to a page - I get the "cannot import ChartFromList Web Part." error.

• I have deactivated and re-activated the feature.
• I have even retracted the solution, removed, redeployed and reactivated but I still get the error.
• While troubleshooting, I have noticed that the .webpart files are in the Site WebPart gallery but these files are not the recent .webpart files.  They are rather the old .webpart files. 
• I have tested that on sites where the feature was not activated, these .webpart files did not exist and I do see that the new .webpart files get placed when I activate the feature.  Therefore, I know that the webpart does work.

The problem is how do I get rid of all these .webpart files that should have been removed while the feature got de-activated, retracted and removed.  The .webpart files are still there and the only way to make the webpart work is to first get rid of these old .webpart files, then de-activate and re-activate the feature.  Removing the .webpart files is problematic for these reasons:

1. When I go to the webpart gallery, every action in the ribbon is greyed out so I cannot delete it.  The only way I can delete is if I open the gallery through Explorer. 
2. I have 100s of site collections and I'd rather not do this manually.

If anyone has any insight on this, it would be very much appreciated!

Thank you,

Rumi

I am using the SharePoint Feature Administration and Clean Up Tool from CodePlex to remove faulty features from my 2013 farm after migration from 2010 farm.  While the tool does a great job of removing the faulty feature from some sites, I get some errors for some of the other sites.  Below are the errors.  Can someone explain what this means and what I can do to remove them.  I'd really like to clean up the farm.  I'm doing this in a test environment in preparation of production migration.

Most of the faulty features found - renders the following error when I prompt to remove it:

2015/10/23 16:47:46 - Exception removing feature 75a0fea7-b0ef-434e-90d6-ce997d970564 fromhttp://webapp1.company.com/sites/sitecollection1/web1 -- Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Here is a rare success for the same feature:

2015/10/23 16:47:45 - Success removing feature 75a0fea7-b0ef-434e-90d6-ce997d970564 fromhttp://webapp1.company.com/sites/sitecollection1/web2

I was doing some upgrades with spconfig to my farm and somehow lost the Central Administration service inside my Services on Server (Central Admin --> Application Management --> Manage services on server). However, my central administration site is still functioning properly from what I can tell. Is there a way to get it back into the list?

I tried the below PowerShell and no results are returned

Get-SPServiceInstance | Where-Object {$_.TypeName -eq 'Central Administration'}

I am having to work with a SharePoint farm until someone more knowledgeable is brought in. My knowledge is pretty limited although I am learning with trial by fire. Here is a problem I am facing. We have a SharePoint 2013 farm with three FE servers. Each is running 'Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)' service so there is a Drop folder in the MailRoot folder. The SharePoint Timer Job 'Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Incoming E-Mail' is only running on the first FE server. The problem is that incoming mail that hits the other two FE servers sits in the Drop folder until I copy it to the first FE server that then processes it.

Obviously we have something misconfigured and is probably a simple fix but need direction from someone who knows more that I how to resolve it. Any advice would be appreciated.  -Mark

I'm planning on migrating to SP Foundation 2013 and have a test farm.  I just noticed that the Search Service Application, Search Administration, in the Searchable Items area, I have a yellow exclamation mark indicating the following:

"The maximum size for Search Index is 2 million items For SPF Search.  Please refer to documentation for options and recommendations."

My existing prod environment is running Search Server Express 2010 and I have over 7 million searchable items.  Did Microsoft put a 2 million item limit for SP Foundation 2013?  If that's the case, that is a huge issue and I cannot move my customer to SP Foundation 2013.

Can someone please confirm and provide some feedback?

Thank you,

Rumi

Hi All,

 I have been trying to setup SharePoint Hybrid setup on between SPO (office 365) & Azure cloud VM (on premise SP 13) and have completed below steps

 Logged in SPO using admin@admin.onmicrosoft .com and added custom domainabc.com

Which is public domain and available on internet and added txt and other values to verify domain.

Now on 2^nd second step, I changed some domain name with (abc.com ) of some users except admin and added one extra new user then completed 3^rd step.

 On premise SP 13, my local ADDS is configured and domain name is coe.com.

Now I have created self-signed certificate and replaced in both environment SPO & on premise VM. Using linkhttps://technet.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/dn197169.aspx

 I have installed & configured ADFS successfully and also User profile synch.

 Then I installed AzureADconnect.msi which has completed successfully. Now I would like to know is there any way to verify whether I have made server to server trust or not? I have not configured Apps/subscription/search  service application so far.

 Is my local ADDS has synchronized? I can see one new user with display name is “On-premise Directory synch service account” (Sync_MYSP13DEV_e65f917aefba@admin.onmicrosoft.com)

In SPO while in on-premise new account is AAD_f6a009fd8b83

Could anyone please advise/guide on this?

After windows update ran, I ran the Configuration Wizard, but the upgrade process keep frozen in the step 9.

We have a custom authentication provider that's been working for 2 years.  We recently made a change in the web service it calls for authentication, with no problems at all on 2 dev machines.  

Our QAS farm has 2 WFE's and 2 App Servers.  Logins have stopped working after we deployed the update.

Like most custom authentication providers, we set the token through code.  From our remote debugging we know that the user and password match up and that we're successfully setting the token.  We use the code:

                SecurityToken token = SPSecurityContext.SecurityTokenForFormsAuthentication(
                   new Uri(SPContext.Current.Web.Url),  GDUtils.GetMembershipProvider(Context), 
                   GDUtils.GetRoleProvider(), user.UserId, string.Empty, SPFormsAuthenticationOption.PersistentSignInRequest);

                SPFederationAuthenticationModule.Current.SetPrincipalAndWriteSessionToken(token);

It may be a bit hard to follow with the calls to our custom classes,  but you can see that we're creating a token for the login, and then saving it to the session.  and most importantly - it's been working for 2 years.  So I don't think this is the problem.

After that we redirect to the root '/' url of the site using SPUtility.Redirect.  This is where we get a threat.abordt exceptioon and are redirected back to the forms logon page. This is new and I think it's is a side effect of the authentication problems.

Below is what I'm seeing in the logs.  Note that we know from our remote debugging that the provider is successfully validating the username and password a combination

I've  been googling and have seen a wide variety of results and fixes for these errors.   I'm getting the impression that the problem is in validating our newly created the token once the request actually makes it to the site.  I've read a few articles saying the machineKey is different between the STS web.config and web.config for the site that make a bit of sense, but that doesn't explain why this problem just started.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,

I am creating a new SP 2013 farm. 

Our site will be http://intranet
My Site wil be http://mysite

Should I give same URL on both? Which one? - http://intranet/search - or - http://mysite/search?

Thanks.

Hi,

How does one restore/move all the SharePoint site synchronizations from one machine to another?

The issue arrises when a user gets a new computer and the list of synched sites is empty.

Hey there

I have been looking for hours at how to fix this health analyzer issue. The title of the error is "Distributed cache service is not enabled in this deployment".

However I do not think it is running or is supposed to be running. I have one sharepoint 2013 server, no farm.

When i run any commands to try and find the GUID of the distributed cache host, it comes up null or blank. There is no distributed cache host listed under "services on server".

Get-cachehost returns "no valid cluster settings were provided" (i do not have a cluster so it makes sense)

I can run "Get-Process DistributedCacheService | fl *64*" and i get "cannot find a process with the name "dsitributedcacheservice""

basically everything is pointing to the fact that I do not have any distributed cache, and it is not set up or configured.

So how do i deal with this error? All the help pages seem to assume that I want to "fix" the distributed cache service, when in reality I just want to remove it so that I do not get this error message coming up.

There was a time when i tried to get appfabric working to try and install applications. I abandoned that project as i just couldnt get it going the way i wanted, so this could be a remnant from that. I also tried "Remove-SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance" but that did nothing for the error.

I just really want to get rid of this error from the sharepoint health analyzer. Anyone know? I do not want to use the cache service or enable it or fix it. From what I have read it uses 10% of server ram to do things like social networking which I am not interested in. And cluster things, which again, have no bearing on me as i do not have a cluster. The error doesnt seem to really affect anything but I dont like errors, so i want to get rid of it.

Hello, 

We want to install Workflow Manager 1.0 on a new SharePoint 2013 SP1 farm. 
We are thinking of co-locating the Workflow Manager 1.0 on the 3 front-end servers we have. 

I have understood that the App Management Service Application is a prerequisite for Workflow Manager to work correctly (although I couldn't find a reference on TechhNet?). 
Since the App Management Service Application is working side-by-side with the Subscription Settings Service Application, does it mean that if we want to use Workflow Manager 1.0, we also need to install the Subscription Settings Service Application? 

I find it difficult to understand the real requirements for installing Workflow Manager 1.0. I don't find any documentation on TechhNet about this? 

Thanks!
