Despite running this PowerShell script - users from a trusted domain do not resolve in People Picker - (They exist in UPA though)
Hi there,
Users from a trusted domain are NOT resolving in my SP 2013 site. Even though I ran following script.
Is there anything else that I need to do?
########################################
$wa = Get-SPWebApplication "http://sp"
$adsearchobj = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPPeoplePickerSearchActiveDirectoryDomain
$adsearchobj.DomainName = "TRUSTEDDOMAIN"
$wa.PeoplePickerSettings.SearchActiveDirectoryDomains.Add($adsearchobj)
$wa.Update()
########################################
Thanks a lot.

Migrating user permissions when switching from Windows to ADFS authentication, Multiple domains, SharePoint 2013
I am setting a client up to use ADFS authentication, rather than AD. I have it working pretty well at this point. However, I need to migrate the
permissions from the AD versions of the users, to the ADFS versions. I found a script here (https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/d6c31ee4-c341-4ebd-b5b1-20b8fb918659/ad-to-adfs-user-migration-movespuser-error)
that gets the auth provider and suffix, and places them around the user name to convert it to UPN, but that won't work in this situation, unfortunately.
Users are coming in from three different domains. I would probably need the script to figure out what domain the user is coming from, and deciding what to append based on that. Right now, we are using UPN as the identifier, but maybe it would help to switch to SAM Account name?

SharePoint Cumulative Update Packages Fail
Arggggg..... Why is diagnosing SharePoint issues so ridiculously complicated and underdocumented???
I have been tasked with taking over several SharePoint farms with minimal documentation, and have been asked to get them up to speed with the latest updates. This particular farm I am having an issue with is currently running the March 2015 CU.
I tried to install the November CU, and then the October CU, but both fail shortly after the detection process with the oh so informative dialog "The installation of this package failed." No additional text, no reference link, not even an event in the Event Log!
It took me close to an hour to finally identify that the log file where I could find more information is buried in my user's AppData\Local\Temp folder. 54 MB of text to comb through.... what a treat!
Finally, after another half hour of searching, I found the following line:
OPatchInstall: Will set the property 'SYS.PROC.RESULT' to value '17303'
Of course, I have been unable to find any additional information on this error code.
We do not have any anti-virus software on this server, and the local firewall service is not enabled.
I have tried running under both my account, which should be a Farm Administrator, as well as the account under which it was originally installed. None of these helped.
Can someone please help me figure out how to get my SharePoint Farm patched??!!!
FYI: Single-server (separate SQL back-end), SharePoint 2013 SP1 Enterprise running on Windows Server 2012.

Unknown Host -Unable to locate the server named “Server1” .The server does not have DNS entry Error in SP 2013 SP1
I have installed SP 2013 SP1 on my development server and Central Admin was created successfully. But when I navigate to the Central Admin or any web application url[root site collection & other sites] am getting the below error:
Unknown Host -Unable to locate the server named "Server1" .The server does not have DNS entry Error.Perhaps there is a misspelling in the server name, or the server no longer exists. Double-check the name and try again.
My OS is Windows Server 2012 R2.
I provided the IIS bindings of my central admin site as a screen shot.
Do i need to change anything here?

SharePoint migration from 2007 (Moss) to SharePoint 2013
Hi All,
I am doing SharePoint migration from 2007 (Moss) to SharePoint 2013 foundation and my strategy would be import/export content DB from SQL server via staging SharePoint 2010 and then SP 13 foundation.
There are some custom web-parts developed in Visual studio 2005 so I need to convert into Visual studio 2012 using wizard and then generate WSP and deploy it on new SP 13 farm.
I hope above approach is correct ? if not, could someone please highlight any known risk/issue.
Also , I am not sure about Users/Group/Permission. Are they migrated in this process as it is ? or need to create them manually and do we need convert from classic-mode to claims-based authentication in SharePoint 2013.
SharePoint Group/Permission could be custom or default.
Could you please reply who has done such type of migration.

Windows Server CALs plus SharePoint Standard CALs plus SharePoint Enterprise CALs
I'm building a business intelligence server. I want to put SharePoint Server 2013 and SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition on it, on top of Windows Server 2014 R2. Obviously, I'm going to need a bunch of SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Client Access Licenses as well. SQL Server is going to be licensed on the per-core model.
My question is regarding any other required CALs. Here's my understanding of the configuration:
I've been contending that there isnorequirement for additional Client Access Licenses other than the SharePoint 2013 Enterprise CALs mentioned above. However . . .
I've received advice that thereisa requirement for (for each employee who accesses the solution) for a Windows Server 2012 R2 CALplus a SharePoint 2013 Standard CAL plus a SharePoint 2013 Enterprise CAL.
My thinking regarding Windows Server: “Client Access Licenses (CALs) are required for each user or device accessed. The Windows Server 2012 related CALs provide entitlement to access and use Windows Server 2012 R2 functionality” {Windows Server 2012 R2 Licensing Guide]. In our case, no devices or users are directly accessing WS2012 R2. The OS is being used solely to run the application software, SQL Server 2014 and SharePoint 2013. Thus, there are no operating system CALs required for this configuration. (There are a number of functions — such as file storage, print sharing, etc. — which if used, would require server CALs, but we’re not using any of them.)
I'm aware that the SP CALs are additive for the Volume Licensing programme (and thus both a standard CAL and and Enterprise CAL would be required for each user). However, there is no volume or enterprise agreement in place - this is a stand-alone build. Would the Enterprise CAL suite be the best choice here?
Your thoughts, please? Windows CALs required . . . or not?

Problems Registering Workflow
OK, I know this is a common issue, but I have spent a week trying to figure out how to solve it in my environment. When I run Register-SPWorkflowService I am getting a 404 error.
When I try to navigate using the browser to my workflow site I get the Windows Security popup. I have tried using my workflow service account, my farm account, and my admin account but I still have been unable to access the page. I have windows authentication enabled on the site with NTLM and Negotiate:Kerberos selected as providers.
Any ideas what I need to do to get the authentication working?
Thanks

SharePoint 2013 alerts not working with distribution list and AD nested groups
Hello,
I have following problem with alerts, distribution list and AD nested groups on my SharePoint Foundation 2013 environment.
Information about my environment:
- Document library named "PARIS"
- Active Directory global group named "PARIS-READ" which have read access on "PARIS" library.
- Active Directory global group named "SHAREPOINT-ALERT" with exchange distribution list linked.
- "SHAREPOINT-ALERT" group is member of "PARIS-READ" group.
I would like to send alert to my exchange distribution list.
First of all, when I would like to create alert on "PARIS" library and send notifications to my distribution list, I had following error message: "Sorry, you are not allowed to share this with external users".
I resolved this problem by changing my "SHAREPOINT-ALERT" AD group from "Distribution" to "Security" type.
After that, I was able to create my alert correctly on "PARIS" library and distribution list members correctly receive the alert mail creation confirmation.
Unfortunately, distribution list members don't receive alert when documents in "PARIS" library are created, modified, or deleted (alert configuration is OK).
I look on internet for this problem and it seem that "SHAREPOINT-ALERT" AD group must have permissions on library where alert is created.
I don't want to directly add my "SHAREPOINT-ALERT" AD group on library permission because I already have AD group called "PARIS-READ" which have permissions on my library.
So I added "SHAREPOINT-ALERT" group member of "PARIS-READ" group in order to give "SHAREPOINT-ALERT" group permissions on "PARIS" library.
So I have "nested" AD groups. I know there may be some problems with AD nested groups and SharePoint permissions but I would like to know exactly if it's a SharePoint issue or problem from my environment.
When I check "PARIS-READ" permissions on "PARIS" library, rights are OK.
But when I check "SHAREPOINT-ALERT" permissions, this group have no right on library.
I already have rebooted my SharePoint server but alerts are always KO.
For information, the "Require that all senders are authenticated" is not check on "Message Delivery Restrictions" properties of my exchange distribution list.
Do you have any ideas or solution to resolve my problem?
How can I easily send alert to distribution list ?
Thanks.

How to install an app from the app catalog using PowerShel
Does anybody know a way of installing apps from the app catalog using PowerShell?
There is an article on MSDN about adding apps: Add apps for SharePoint to a SharePoint 2013 site. It describes the way of adding it using web browser, but the only PowerShell solution in this article is about adding app from a file using Import-SPAppPackage and Install-SPApp. However this way doesn't work with app catalog.
Also it seems there is no information on the Internet. Does anybody know a solution?

SharePoint rights not granted to Azure AD users
We have SharePoint 2013 installed on-prem and the AD is replicated to Azure AD. We've added the ACS provider to authenticate against the Azure AD and it is working fine.
The problem I am experiencing is that users who are in SharePoint Security groups are not getting the rights they should, now that we're using ACS. When a user logs into the site using their ACS/AAD login (user@domain.com) and they were previously granted site ownership, they no longer see the "cog" menu item for site actions. Also, if we go to the people picker we are not able to add AD groups. With thousands of users it is imperative that we are able to add groups instead of individual users.
Thanks in advanced for your suggestions.

Cannot add a server to the farm
Over the past month I have added 3 servers to my existing 2-server farm, bringing the total to 5 servers. I am now trying to add another and here is what happens:
Create new Windows 2012 R2 VM on VMware + Install all critical updates
Add my install account + my farm account as local administrators
Log on as the install account (spAdmin)
Install Prerequsites + install all critical updates again (reboots involved)
Install SharePoint 2013 SP1 (same version that is on other farm machines)
Run the Sharepoint Configuration Wizard (right-click, run as Administrator)
Enter SQL server and click to refresh the database list. SharePoint_Config is located.
Select SharePoint_Config db and click Next.
I get a blurry font (sometimes) on the new VM after a couple of seconds and a few seconds after that I get a box that says"Failed to connect to the existing server farm located at the specified database server and database name. the database name is not a valid configuration database."This is strange since it was just able to retrieve the list of config databases (1).
When I look in the install log I can see the connection string that it uses to hit SQL. It looks like this:
NTLM has been chosen connect to existing config db, so building the connection string:Data Source=sqlserver\spsql2013,2433;Initial Catalog=SharePoint_Config;Integrated Security=True
Here is the exception / stack trace that appears right below that:
An exception of type System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException was thrown. Additional exception information: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible.
Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.)
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server
is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.) ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): No connection could be made because the target
machine actively refused it
There are a few things that are just confounding:
1. I have rebuilt the server 3 times on different hardware. No change.
2. The issue about connectivity seems to be a red herring. I can obviously connect to SQL since the configuration database name is retrieved. However (!), I also have a DEV farm on a different SQL server. I cannot add the server to this farm, either. Same errors / behavior. I was able to create a new farm targeting a different SQL server, though. All SQL servers are in the same OU in AD.
3. I know that there are 2 patches for Microsoft Office which must be installed. Two weeks ago when I added my 5th server the PSConfig Wizard told me I needed to install the patches before joining the farm. Using that information, I have tried leaving the patches off intentionally on this 6th vm just to see if the wizard would prompt me again. It doesn't.
Firewall is configured "OFF" on all areas and the service itself is disabled.
There's obviously something very strange going on. I am open to all suggestions.
