Hi, 

i have issue with SharePoint DataSheet view / quick edit. 

A have a library called Lib and in the library folder Folder1. In my AD i have 2 users - User1 and User1

User1 has contribute permission to the web

User2 has contribute permissions only to the Folder1

1) When i login to the site with User1 and open the folder1 i am able to Switch to Quick edit and open DataSheet view

2) When i login to the site with User2 and open the folder1 the QuickEdit is not disabled and when i switch to datasheet view i see no data (only columns) and no table control.

Is it required to have contribute permissions on the list level ?

Thanks

Hi there

Our newly upgraded SharePoint 2013 site is running very slow despite little or no traffic and very healthy servers.

I notice on Developer Dashboard - that refreshing exactly same page every few minutes gives these figures:

Try 1 - Speed - fast
- Number of SQL Queries   3
- Total SQL Duration 342 ms

Try 2 - Speed - slow
- Number of SQL Queries   32
- Total SQL Duration 7542 ms

Try 3 - Speed - slow
- Number of SQL Queries   27
- Total SQL Duration 6987 ms

All these tries were done in a few minutes of duration - no changes at all to the page.

Why does this (Number of SQL Queries) vary so much? How to fix so the speed comes as fast all the time?

Thank you.

Hi there

Our DBA is advising that on our SharePoint 2013 SQL Server we execute these queries. Would someone know if this will be a good step?

Thanks so much.

exec sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
reconfigure;exec sp_configure 'optimize for ad hoc workloads', 1;
reconfigure;

exec sp_configure 'show advanced options', 0;

Hello,

I'm facing a weird issue where all of my SharePoint 2013 websites are working absolutely fine, however, central admin is throwing error "HTTP 500 Internal Server Error".

It's a 2 server based installation where 1 is DB and the other is App/WFE.

No helpful error's i'm receiving on my logs as well.

Any idea?

Hi All,

 I am adding a new column to a document library.

1. Whenever i upload a zip file to that document library (Note. This is other than office document) i see the newly added column in the upload form.

2. But if i upload the Office document (For Ex. PPT), i don't see that newly added column in the upload form. But if i open that document from sharepoint, and edit it, the "Document Information Panel" is showing that newly added column.

3. Then i enabled the content types for that Doc Lib, i see my new column in that Document content type, but still i dont see that in upload form or "Edit Properties" form.

4. Now comes a different behavior. I added an existing site content type (Form Type) say Form1. If i now try to upload an office document on the content type drop down i see document as the default option, which is correct, but i still dont see my newly added column there.

 - I changed the content type drop down to my newly added "Custom Content Type" Form1 and changed that back to Document, strange now i see that newly added column listed.

I am not sure whats the mistake am doing or what's wrong. Can someone help me out to have the newly added custom column listed on the upload form for office documents?

Thanks in Advance

I am at my wit's end trying to figure out the following problem:

We have an SP2013 SP1 installation with a fairly standard setup.  About a month or so ago, both of the WFEs began throwing the exact same errors every 2 to 3 minutes.  The Event IDs are 7024 and 7031.  7024 indicated that the timer service had terminated with a server-specific error of Unspecified error.  7031 basically reiterated that by telling me the service had terminated unexpectedly, how many times it had done so and when the next corrective action would take place.  After a few minutes the Timer service restarts itself, runs for 2 or 3 minutes and then deja vu.

In the ULS logs I have found the following sequence of events that occur at the same time that the 7024 and 7031 errors are being thrown:

I have either verified or done the following:

Verified that service account timer service is running under has proper permissions

Verified that account has proper permissions to config db in sql

Cleared out the config cache, and reset cache.ini file

Rerun spconfig successfully

Couple of things to note:

This appears to have started soon after an attempt to update to Nintex Workflows 2013 was unsuccessful.  I say appears because we unfortunately don't have space to store logs for longer than a couple of weeks so I can't go back and confirm that; I'm relying upon my own memory recall for that.

In CA, neither WFE has any timer jobs scheduled to be run

Any help anyone could offer would be most most appreciated.

Hi folks,

I wonder could someone help me please as I'm hitting my head against a brink wall here!  I'm trying to install SP 2013 onto a new Virtual Windows 2012 R2 server and when I run the prereq installer it wasn't much help so I had to manually download and installed the required pre reqs and I manually needed to install .net, IIS, app server etc but I cannot get the AppFabric stuff installed.

I've spent a good while looking around on the net and I've tried all sorts of things like running commands like the following and none of them seem to work. 

C:\SP2013>prerequisiteinstaller.exe /AppFabric:prerequisiteinstallerfiles\WindowsServerAppFabricSetup_x64.exe

&

C:\SP2013>prerequisiteinstaller.exe /AppFabric:prerequisiteinstallerfiles\AppFabric1.1-RTM-KB2671763-x64-ENU.exe

&

C:\SP2013>prerequisiteinstaller.exe /AppFabric:prerequisiteinstallerfiles\WindowsServerAppFabricSetup_x64.exe /i CacheClient”,”CachingService”,”CacheAdmin /gac

I found a post saying rename servermanager.exe to servermanagerCMD.exe and when I did that and run the top command it begins the MS SharePoint 2013 Products Prep Tool and it begins to run through the process of Configuring Application Server Role, Web Server (IIS) Role but the wizard never finishes until I end the task and it doesn't do what I need it to and that is install the AppFabric prereqs so I can continue on and install SP 2013 so any help in getting me past this headache would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Bonemister

Hello,

When I attempt to preform a backup through Central Administration it gives me the error of 

Object WSS_Content_31dc72a8afec43d3b9b3c51d7f4adac5 failed in event OnBackup. For more information, see the spbackup.log or sprestore.log file located in the backup directory.
SqlException: Cannot open backup device 'C:\Backup Tests\spbr0000\00000107.bak'. Operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.).
BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

What should I be looking for in these files when I look in them?

We met an issue on Office Web App with SharePoint 2013.

Error message on the page:

Sorry, there was a problem and we can't open this document. If this happens again, try opening the Microsoft Word.

The farm is having 2 WFE. There is NLB setting up for them.

AAM has been set to Default.

OWA binding set to -AllowHttp, zone set to internal-http. AllowOAuthOverHttp set to true.

The strange thing is when days ago we finish the installation, we try the link http://{server_name}/somefolder/document.docx to do the test, it works fine.

But today we try the link http://{NLB_link}/somefolder/documnet.docx, above error occur.

We are not sure whether AAM setting cause this issue or some other reaone. But even we remove the AAM to use the Server Name in link, still above issue.

Any idea/comments would be appriciated.

Hi there,

SharePoint site shows "Please come back later" - upon refreshing it works fine - how to fix?

(I have Already deleted IE cache/Rest IE etc) - Other browsers do not have this issue.

Thanks so much.

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

Hi there

I am in process of migrating SP 2010 to SP 2013 - we have a lot of Containers in our AD that are selected in our SP 2010 > UPA > Sync Connection.

Is there any easy way to export and import this? Any PowerSHell or anything else? (It is so hard to go inside each of them and select right children for literally 100s of these)

Thanks so much.

Starting last Wednesday after computers & servers received the latest updates from MS, we began to have problems opening Word 2010 & Excel 2010 documents from our SharePoint site (2013).  The users would be asked multiple times to login but then the Word/Excel application would crash.  After some analysis, we figured out that KB3055034 was the culprit so we have now had users remove that update and "hide" it so it won't be reinstalled.  But this is just a Band-Aid. 

I have found a few other posts on the Web detailing the exact problem and fix/Band-Aid but no one has a real answer yet about why this is happening and what MS will do to fix it.

Anyone here have any ideas about why this is happening and/or what should be my next steps?  Thanks in advance.  Carol. 

Hello:

I am working on configuring Apps for a SharePoint Foundation 2013 farm and a little unsure how about the DNS portion.  I have read several blogs and TechNet articles on how to do this but still unsure about the DNS portion.  Below is my scenario:

1. 2 Web/App servers load balanced via Citrix Netscaler
2. 1 Application / Search Server
3. 1 SQL DB server

Due to specific business requirements I have several web applications which are load balanced and have host-headers on the two web/app servers as such:

company.com 
eastern.company.com
western.company.com
northern.company.com
southern.company.com

-All of the names above point to the same virtual IP - let's say that VIP is 10.10.1.100 (all the subdomains are aliases of company.com)
-I am using host headers to host all of the sites above on the two web/app servers.
-None of the web applications are using SSL at this time.

I am planning on creating a wild card app domain as such:
*.CompanyApps.com

What I need to know is when I create my CNAME for *.CompanyApps.com - should it point to the Company.com VIP?   Will this app domain work for all of my web applications listed above?

Thank you!

Rumi

Hi there

Our SP 2010 site was pretty fast (Total SQL Duration was half second or less) - we upgraded it to SP 2013 (better hardware). 

Now on SharePoint 2013 site - Total SQL Duration is too high at 10-12 seconds - how to reduce this please? This is causing site to load very slowly.

SP and SQL Servers are all good, more than enough RAM and CPU.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi there,

Users with contribute access were able to use Open with Explorer button in SP 2010. We just upgraded our site - and these users see this on Open with Explorer button now.

Any idea how to fix this please?

Thanks.

Hello Everybody,

I have a scenario where we have Site Collection in Sharepoint (Office 365 Subscription). This site collection can have lot of sub-sites in it.

Now thing we are trying to achieve is following -  If Site Admin installs a particular app from app catalogue at collection level then it should be visible inside every sub-site of that site collection. This would make it easy to manage rather than having this app being installed in each and every sub-site.

Is the above scenario possible in SharePoint Online and if yes can I get any pointers of how this can be achieved.

Thank-you.
