Hello community,

We try to install SP 2O13 SP1 (SW_DVD5_SharePoint_Server_2013w_SP1_64Bit_English_MLF_X19-36118) on Windows 2O12 R2 using trial product key.

I tried to install binaries to different locations and I ended up with "15" folder having 1,5GB and configuration wizard failing at step 2.

Error log contains this:

Last message from task configdb is An exception of type Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPUpgradeException was thrown. 
Additional exception information: Failed to call GetTypes on assembly Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.Upgrade,

dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.  

Permissions according to technet.Prerequisities OK.

Have anyone experienced such behavior? Never seen this error before.

I appreciate any hint.

Thank you guys.

Hi, im a newbie in SharePoint.

i was asked to do some dev, first create a customized site in SharePoint 2013 - what types of sites are there in SharePoint 2013 - and then, create a powerview report and a SSRS report in it.

I've already created, following 2 tutorials, a powerview report and a SSRS report respectively on PowerPivot gallery and a site conténts\document library, in the site i've created after following this tutorial

http://blogs.lessthandot.com/index.php/datamgmt/dbadmin/mssqlserveradmin/sharepoint-2013-bi-part-5/

So now my doubt is if the site i've created is customized / what types of SharePoint sites are there, and if/how can i create a powerview report and ssrs report in it.

Can you help me out?

Regards

EDIT:

i've noticed that when performing these tests, i ended up creating a subsite Sharepoint Business Intelligence Center  (BIC) in my site. Now the question is if i can create/associate these reports to a (main) site without using BIC.

To insert Powerview and SSRS reports in a SharePoint Site, do i need to use the Powerpivot or Business Intelligence center template in "create site collections" in SharePoint Central Administration?

In the end my doubt is this, to experiment Powerview and SSRS reports, namelly powerview/powerpivot, i ended up with a Business Intelligence CEnter subsite. Can i insert Powerview and SSRS reports on a a main site (created via site collections?)? what type of template should i choose?

Hi, we have a public site which is set anonymous. Now when authenticated users try to edit list items, the toolbar in the ribbon is grayed out in an item. The users have Owner rights to the site.

What could be the reason?

Hi,

i've had a great help integrating my first ssrs report in a document library, and my powerpivot report in powerpivot gallery.

Then i've created two specific pages where, using webparts, i've inserted each report, and placed a link to each one of them below site contents.

Now my doubt is, as im a newbie to sharepoint and security/permissions, how can i control who has access to:

- 1st of all, to the pages i've created

- to powerpivot gallery where powerpivot report was placed

- to document library where SSRS report was placed

Regards

I have SharePoint server 2013 , and our support team have installed the latest security updates for our windows server 2008 R2 + sharepoint server 2013. now i tried running the SharePoint  Product configuration wizard, but it keeps raising exceptions. so i read that i need to run the following command to see if i have any missing updates:-

get-spproduct -local

now the result for the above command is as follow:-

but i am not sure what does this result indicate ,, do i have a missing update ?

I am attempting to traverse through a document set in a documen library and list out files/documents if they have "unique permissions" set. I have the followin script so far but for some reason the check is not working/bringing back the expected results:

$siteURL = new-objectMicrosoft.SharePoint.SPSite("https://test.code/sites/ITTest")

$web = $siteURL.rootweb#Getting the required document library
$libraryName = $web.Lists["FurtherTests"]
$rootFolder = $libraryName.RootFolder#Iterating through the required documents sets
foreach ($docsetFolder in $rootFolder.SubFolders){#check document sets/folders of content type = "TestDocSet"if($docsetFolder.Item.ContentType.Name-eq "TestDocSet"){
write-host -f Yellow`t $docsetFolder.Name

#Iterating through the files within the document sets
foreach ($document in $docsetFolder.Files)
{
if(!$document.HasUniqueRoleAssignments)
{
write-host -f Cyan `t "  " $document.Name
write-host -f Red`t "     ..permissions inheritance detected. Process
skipped"
}

}
}
}

$web.Dispose()
$siteURL.Dispose()

In my document set I have two documents 1 which has unique permissions set and the other inherits permissions.

I am expecting for the script to only show me documents/files which do not have unique permissions set, however I get all files instead. Is there something that I have missed on the check for unique permissinons above?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi,

In my Sharepoint 2013 Foundation - farm scenario I had 2 WFEs and 1 APP server. I had removed one of my WFE(Server-C) from the farm for some maintenance, re-installed its OS. Now I did a fresh sharepoint installation on it and when I try to add it to the farm by running the "Configuration Wizard " its shows some of the updates are missing(KB3039703). Well the mentioned update is for "Sharepoint Server 2013(KB3039703)". I am not sure how this got installed in my other two server(APP & 1WFE), somehow this update is installed on my other servers in the Farm

Screenshot from my second WFE will trying to add it to farm.

And here I have the screenshot of the updates installed on my other servers.

I tried manually installing this update KB3039703 on my WFE(SERVER-C) but i couldnt as this is intended for Sharepoint Server, Is there any way to add my third server to the Farm. Please help.

We've got a weird issue where document links behave differently. We have a Content Query web part on a page which filters on documents which the user currently has checked out. Unfortunately, when they click on the document link, it gives them a Open/Save/Save As dialogue, then opens it with the yellow check out bar at the top of the document. If they click on the bar, it gives them an error saying that it is checked out by 'another user'. If they open the document from the library it lives in directly, they don't get this issue.Additionally, If I paste the link to the document into Word's Open dialogue it opens fine with no check out yellow banner.

Any ideas?

How do you import an Excel spreadsheet into a SharePoint 2013 list? Is this functionality out of the box in SharePoint 2013?

 I have figured out how to import an Excel spreadsheet into a list as an attachment in SharePoint 2013, but not directly into the list.  Upon opening the list, I would like to see all the columns, rows, and data displayed.  I do not want to open an attachment to view the data in the actual spreadsheet.  I was able to do this in SharePoint 2010, but cannot do it in SharePoint 2013.

All of the questions in previous related topics are related to SharePoint 2010 and earlier versions, so they are not helpful.

Hi there

When I load my SharePoint 2013 site - it takes about 14-15 seconds. Please see this IE Developer Tool screenshot for times taken.

The top two URLs are exactly same - From Click to XMLHTTPRequest - it takes 14.46 seconds - the browser keeps saying "Waiting for site".

Any clue, what might be causing slow performance?

Thanks.

Hi there,

I have created a custom SPDiagnosticsService from https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.administration.spdiagnosticsservicebase.aspx with a couple of categories and I'm also able to insert messages in the trace log without any errors. However it seems like my custom service is completely ignoring the settings in Central Administration->Monitoring->Configure diagnostic logging. For instance, even if I set the least critical event to report to the trace log to "Unexpected" I still get all the "Verbose" and "High" level messages in the ULS log.

I could probably check the diagnostic logging configuration in my server-side code before I write to the ULS log but is that really necessary?

We have added new front end servers to the existing farm. PS config ran successfully and there was no error in the log. Also we can access the sites from the new server.

Later we noticed that, few of the custom timer jobs are failing and error message pointing to the DLL files. Compared the DLL file and found the size difference; new server has less size. Once we copied the DLL from existing server to new servers, the job starts running successfully.

All the existing server has same version and file size is same. Any idea, how the old version of DLL came to the new server? How can we make sure all the components are in sync with existing servers?

Thanks,

Anop

A strange thing happened: RTF fields in SharePoint list turned into simple text fields after the site was set anonymous.

Is it some kind of Publishing related issue? The site is a Public Site made with customized master pages. So the publishing feature is on.

But how otherwise could the publishing be related to this?

I am trying to perform a FarmBackup to me production environment, every time I get this error "Backup failed for Object Crawl-1 (C: on IndexServer) failed in event OnBackupComplete", I have tried to grant access (read\write) to SPSearchAdmin in file share I even share the file with Everyone and I checked my user access, I am farm admin, and I have SA permission in SQL, I paused the search application, but nothing happens, when I deleted the search service application the backup went smooth and success. and I get this error with all component "Aborted due to error in another component." could any one help me please?

Thanks

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 the service account under which the timer service is running has proper permissions
• Verified that account has proper permissions to config db in sql
• Cleared out the config cache, and reset cache.ini file
• Reran 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 Central Admin on the Scheduled Jobs page, neither WFE has any timer jobs scheduled to run

Any help anyone could offer would be most most appreciated.

Currently, I am getting the credential prompt for each web applications. I want only one authentication prompt to authenticate multiple web application.

E.g

Application 1 - my.intranet.com Application 2 - portal.intranet.com Application 3 - collaboration.intranet.com

I am referencing Application 2 and 3 on the home page of application 1. So it asks credential three times. but my requirement is that It should prompt for credential only once.
