Necessary folder permissions for successful backup?

January 15, 2016, 3:19 pm
$

I'm trying to backup my SP 2013 farm to a UNC path within a shared folder, but I think the job fails due to incorrect permissions.

I'm running two test backup jobs to two different locations when I'm logged on to my SharePoint web front end server. I have one shared folder where the "Everyone" group has full Share and NTFS permissions, and my backup job will complete just fine. So far, so good.

However, I have another location where only a Domain Admin account and the SQL Server Agent have both full Share and NTFS permissions...and the backup to that location will fail. The error message I'm repeatedly seeing in the log file is:

"[1/15/2016 8:34:17 AM] Warning: [SP2013_SharePoint_Config] SQL command failed and needs to be restarted. The command will be re-started a total of three times before throwing an exception."

The command I'm using is:

backup-spfarm -directory \\10.10.2.103\SharePoint_backup\Full_backup -backupmethod full -verbose

Can someone tell me the permissions needed on a file share for the backup to complete successfully and/or offer some suggestions on why the backup is failing?

Thank you,

Ed

SharePoint 2013 Reporting Service Application in SQL High Availability mode

Hi,

We have a SharePoint farm which has two database servers with SQL High Availability AlwaysOn group. Farm has two WFE and two App servers as well. 

We have several service applications including Reporting Services Application.

When the farm was provisioned initially, Reporting Serivice DB wasn't added to SQL HA AlwaysOn group. Therefore when a SQL Fail-over happens all reports are not working. 

We've added the Reporting Service Application DB shown in the Central Admin to the SQL HA AlwaysOn group, but the problem still persists. 

Is what I'm doing make sense? Or are there additional steps / databases needs to be considering when making the Reporting Service Application related DBs in SQL HA Always group? 

Best Regards

Managed Navigation menu item disappers on WFE server when updating its associated term-driven page

On my company's public-facing anonymous sharepoint website, I am experiencing a problem related to the Managed Navigation from time to time. Sometimes when I update the term-driven page associated with a managed navigation menu item, the menu item will disappear after completed the normal web page publishing process.

We have a sharepoint farm (Configuration database version 15.0.4727.1000) consisting of 2 WFE and 2 App servers, we redirected all traffics from public access to fall on the WFE servers only.

When this happens, I have to restart the IIS WWW service on the WFE server and it is the only way to recover the problem. It seems to be an internal communication problem between software components.

Does anyone experience this kind of problem? Any clue to resolve or troubleshoot it?

SharePoint 2013 VM Server Window 2008 R2 Pagefile Sizing

All, I am currently working on SharePoint 2013 VM server window 2008 R2 Pagefile sizing guidance. After spend few days googling and researching I found 2 approach to manually specify Pagefile size

Approach 1:
1.5 times the RAM

Here is support articles:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/7bda6ce8-d495-4605-b083-db93b3abc596/windows-2008-r2-paging-file-best-practice
http://www.hivmr.com/db/xk1sszfx7cd1c3a7dfkxdppjj398sxsm
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff805055%28v=office.14%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396 (SharePoint 2010)

Approach 2:
(Max value of Committed Bytes + additional 20% buffer to accommodate any workload bursts)-RAM size

Here is support articles:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/motiba/archive/2015/10/16/page-file-the-definitive-guide.aspx
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2860880
https://mcpmag.com/articles/2011/07/05/sizing-page-files-on-windows-systems.aspx

Our goal is sizing the Pagefile correctly so it won't take too much space on C:\ and not trigger alert in SharePoint Health Analyzer.

Can you give us recommendations how we can size Pagefile correctly to meet above goal?

Thanks

Hi,

I have a notebook with 16gb ram. I'm installing Windows Server 2012 in another partition (The notebook has Win 8.1 home).

I read it's preferable to have a server for dc, one for sharepoint and one for sql.

So i can create 2 virtual machine with hyper-v. Now where do i put what?

One VM for sharepoint with 8gb, one for sql with 4gb and main win server (No VM) for DC with remainder 4gb?????

Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 encountered an error during setup

(the html editor over here is a pain you know where - not even bold text is working...)

Every time I try to install SP 2013 SP1 on my WS 2012 R2 Update virtual machine the installer dies.

NOTE: I can reproduce this any time. Both the SharePoint 2013 (including SP1) .iso as well as the WS 2012 R2 (including Update) .iso are fresh copies out of the MSDN library.

The installation fails where the installer tries to install the binaries. No configuration wizard yet. I made sure all the prerequisites are there. The PreRequisitesInstaller.exe reboots the virtual machine several times (twice) and then it is all set.

Any ideas?

UPDATE: Installing office prior to the sharepoint installation had no effect (solution was suggested  here).

UPDATE: Installing all windows updates (for Windows Server and Office client applications) didn't help either... same error.

UPDATE: I made sure my windows server and sharepoint server images are exactly those you can currently find on MSDN. SHA1 hashes match.

Hi All,

Was wondering if someone has answer to this question.

We are trying to migrate large file in 100's of GB from our file server to Office 365 SharePoint. Has Microsoft come up with some solution or one still has to use 3rd party solution for it? Esp. if one wants to maintain the meta data during migration?

Thanks for your feedback,

Application Event Log Errors after November 2015 CU

We applied the May 2015 CU and then waited and applied the November 2015 CU.  Everything appears to be working but we are seeing two Critical errors in the Windows Application Event Log.  We THINK these are appearing because we do not have the Managed Metadata Service application or service running on servers.  This was on purpose because we are not using it and for performance reasons.  We think these may have appeared because Hybrid search was part of the cumulative update.  should we be concerned and how do we get this addressed so it can be resolved in a future CU?

Back up & Restore Tenants in a Multi Tenant SharePoint 2013 environment

I have a SharePoint 2013 environment with Multi-Tenancy configured. I have various tenants provisioned in the environment. Is it possible to backup and restore a tenant from one environment to another. If so, please provide the steps.

PS: I know we can backup a single site collection using PowerShell, but a tenant normally has a group of site collections grouped with a subscription. Hence I am raising this. Also, I know there is a Content DB backup approach. But what about the other aspects, which are required to be kept in mind while doing this, like Service Applications, Permissions, Users, Custom Code, SharePoint version and so on. Please provide your inputs.
