Hi Guys,
I have a SharePoint 2013 farm with SP1 installed. The baseline as you see below:
DisplayName    : Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013
DisplayVersion : 15.0.4571.1502

DisplayName    : Language Pack for SharePoint and Project Server 2013  - Danish/dansk
DisplayVersion : 15.0.4571.1502

DisplayName    : Language Pack for SharePoint and Project Server 2013  - English
DisplayVersion : 15.0.4571.1502

DisplayName    : Language Pack for SharePoint and Project Server 2013  - Finnish/suomi
DisplayVersion : 15.0.4571.1502

DisplayName    : Language Pack for SharePoint and Project Server 2013  - Norwegian/norsk
DisplayVersion : 15.0.4571.1502

DisplayName    : Language Pack for SharePoint and Project Server 2013  - Swedish/svenska
DisplayVersion : 15.0.4571.1502

I have installed all the patches released after SP1 until the CU April 2015 KB2965266 there I got my problem. When I try to install it I get  the message "The expected version of the product was not found on the system". Even though I try to install later patch for example KB3054937 or any later patch I get the same error message.
The BuildVersion is 15.0.4701.1000.

Have you guys any idea plz? I have exhausted all my ideas but could not solve the problem.

Best regards
//Ashraf

Hi there

DO we need to run PSConfig - after running $SPdb.Repair($True)?

Thanks.

Hi Team

We've been struggling for days to get workflow manager installed on a customer environment. 

They are running it on Server 2012 R2 which is where I believe the issue is. 

We followed this Technet article: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj658588.aspx. We also installed CU2 for Wf Manager (https://www.microsoft.com/en-nz/download/details.aspx?id=42036).

Herewith the situation: 

After installing and patching to CU2, we can create SP2013 workflows via SharePoint Designer. We can also associate with a list and start the workflows but they always get stuck in starting. 

If I check the services on the server I notice that the workflow manager backend keeps stopping and starting. The following are logged in the Event Viewer:

Faulting application name: Microsoft.Workflow.ServiceHost.exe, version: 1.0.20922.0, time stamp: 0x505e1b24

Hi there

SPContentDatabase.Repair($true) - does this command have any risk of losing data?
Or any other risk?
Is it possible to check what orphan URLs it is actually fixing/removing?

Thanks a lot.

Dear Members,

As a public service the SHarepoint is normally installed in the DMZ , by default the Central admin also gets installed on the Sames server . 

For security reasons the better approach will be to move Central admin to internal network instead of DMZ. Kindly advise how to move central admin app to some other server which has access to DB server.

Hi All,

I am using SharePoint 2013 Host-Named site collection to host public internet site. "Search Engine Sitemap" feature gets added port 80 to every URL in robots.txt and sitemap.xml files. How to remove port from Robots.txt and Sitemap.xml files?

Files look like:

User-agent: *

Disallow: /_layouts/
Disallow: /_vti_bin/
Disallow: /_catalogs/

When creating new database manually in PowerShell using command     

New-SPContentDatabase -Name $ContentDatabase -WebApplication $WebApplicationName

it works fine, but *recently* it has started to fail when it is run as part of nightly build. If I run the exact same scripts manually on the same farm, I get no errors. Error it gives is:

I have all the recent Windows Updates installed to SQL and SharePoint.

Any ideas?

Hi All,

I have one Member group having custom permission level. This member group contains 100 users which has been added manually one by one. Now some how 40-50 users has been deleted from that group. 

Please let me know how to restore deleted users in that custom member group permission. Where deleted users get store? Recycle bin contains deleted pages/files/list/library ect but why not deleted users?

Regards,

Hello,

We recently migrated SharePoint 2013 farm to Azure. We decided to use the AD Import for User profile service. We have some custom properties used for our MySites to display templates based on the organization the employee works for.

I would like to know if I run a full sync, what are the ramifications? Will all the MySites go back to using the default templates?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks,

HI,

We have worked on SharePoint 2013 SP1 + April 14 CU (15.0.4617.1000 ) Version.

we have to Plan for upgrade SharePoint 2013 October 2015 Cumulative Updates. 
Please let me know if any one facing Issue, when Oct 15 CU patching .

All,

    I have a four server 2013 test farm that I've been upgrading and documenting SharePoint 2010 databases on. There are two WFEs and two APP servers. The APP servers are not running any timer jobs at all. In Central Admin, under timer job history for these servers, there is no history. Here is what I tried so far.

• At first the timer service was constantly stopping and starting on both servers, running this process stopped that, http://brainlitter.com/2013/08/07/upgrade-job-definition-already-exist. 
• I noticed that the User Profile Service was misconfigured so I delete it.
• I tried clearing the SharePoint Cache

The only thing I'm seeing in ULS logs is this: Performance Counter OS (pdh) call failed with error code PDH_INVALID_DATA.

Any thoughts will be appreciated.

Hi,

can any one suggest me how to un-install cumulative update from the sharepoint 2013 server.

Thanks

We’re getting a generic “the directory management service has reported an error which is not recognized by Microsoft SharePoint foundation” when users try to remove or add users to the email enabled group. ULS logs weren’t much help, returned pretty much the same error. Permissions look good in AD and on the Approve/Reject Distro list in Central Admin. We found the following KB that states it is not supported in SP2010 (Claims) and future versions, but unsure if that’s referring to AD Security Groups only or DMS in general. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,

I am trying to roué the Document set from one site in a site collection to another site (Document center site) in separate site collection. I have enabled Content Organizer and it's rules. I have also enabled to connection to another site collection successfully. I am able to move the documents but whenever I try to move the document set it throws this error:

Hi,

I should install and update to latest version Sharepoint Standard Edition. The install package for both is the same and the difference is made by the serial number you type in, in the beginning of the installation.

All of the later Cumulative Updates and Uber Packages listed here are for Sharepoint Enterprise and Sharepoint Foundation. Most of the blogs also list only updates for Enterprise and Foundation like here and here. I couldn't find any CUs or UBER Packages for the Standard Edition.

I tried running both the Foundation and Enterprise UBER Packages on my SharePoint Standard Server and they say that the expected version of the product is not found.

How do you update SharePoint 2013 Standard Edition to the latest version?

Answers will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I have a document library that already holds about 7000 items. Now, I want to add a column index.

How long does it take SharePoint to index the columns? When is this done? Is it a timerjob to handle this?

Thanks

Sven

When I try to remotely access the central admin page, I keep getting prompted to enter my password when I know its correct and it never lets me log in. I can log in on the server I installed Central Admin, but if I try and access it from another member server, it keeps prompting me to enter my password.

I have a freshly installed environment in with 3 tired servers all in a virtual environment.  The DC, SQL 2014 Express, front end web server, and the central admin server.  All running inside VMware Workstation.

Any assistance with this would be most appreciated.

I receive this error whenever I try save an image to the home page of our SharePoint 2013 site. I'm using image viewer. The picture file is checked out under it's app.

Error:

Cannot save all of the property settings for this Web Part. The file is not checked out.  You must first check out this document before making changes.

We run a SharePoint 2013 OnPremise Farm with French LP. Most our employees are francophone with Windows and Office in French.

We are having trouble with searching contents in French but doing it in English is ok. I was wondering if it would be possible to change the default value for the SPS-ContentLanguages User Profile Property, which is "Following my display languages" by default, to English (Canada).

I know how to do it in bulk with PowerShell, but this means running the script one in a while to change the value for all new profiles.

Thanks for any suggestions

Chantal
