Hi all,

I have a web application with 2 zones:

Default - https://intranet.domain.com (pointed to an internal server for internal access only)

Extranet - https://extranet.doman.com (pointed to MS Azure Proxy for internet access with MFA)

What I am trying to achieve is:

1. When a user on the internet browses to (or clicks on a link in SP alert or something) the default zone - they will get redirected to Extranet zone;

2. When a user within internal network clicks on Extranet link, they are being redirected to Default zone

What are my options, URL re-write, port forwarding? Combination of the two? Can I get any ideas? Thanks 

Hi,

So I have a need to have many SSL certs in a multi-tenant SP2013 farm. Any direction on this? I know of the options, such as SNI through IIS8, http://www.iis.net/learn/get-started/whats-new-in-iis-8/iis-80-server-name-indication-sni-ssl-scalability and there is also a cert that I could have multiple SSL against SAN certshttps://www.digicert.com/subject-alternative-name.htm however, am I missing anything? Is there another way that I am not aware (other than multiple IP addresses?) For a one who hosts websites, I am trying to figure out the best way to move forward with an SSL strategy. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Kathie

When you create a new content type, one of the options for "Parent Content Type" is "Special Content Types".

What are some use cases when this option would be useful? How should a "Special Content Type" be used, if at all?

Is there any documentation available on this specific topic?

Hi there

I added a new web part page and on it's top ribbon a link to PerformancePoint menu has appeared.
Not sure why and how? No other page has this. Any idea how to remove this?

We do not even have PerformancePoint installed on server.

Thanks.

Greetings,

I am configuring SSO with ADFS 2.0 on a development 2013 SharePoint single server farm.

I will be utilizing LDAPCP for the people picker.

I am configuring three web applications

sharepoint-dev01.company.com

mypoint-dev01.company.com

web-dev01.company.com

I successfully configured sharepoint-dev01.company.com utilizing ADFS SSO and LDAPCP people picker.  When selecting users from both central admin and from within the web application using 'share' everything works as expected.

When I went to create a site collection for web-dev01.company.com and select the primary/secondary admins the people picker did not work correctly.  It does not seem to see the SAML users.  I can see the domain users, but this is not the users I need.

Why would the ADFS configuration and LDAPCP configuration work on my web application sharepoint-dev01.company.com but not work on my other web applications?

Any thoughts?

Hello,

I am trying to create a External Content Type. My process is the following:

1. In SP Developer --> Click External Content Types (The list is currently Blank)

2. Click "External Content Type" on the top left button to create a new one.

3. Give it a name, display name then click the "External System: Click here to discover external data sources..."

4. Click "Add Connection" --> "SQL"

5. Enter in my Database Server and Table name and click "Connect with Impersonated Custom Identity" (in here I enter in the Target Application ID Name the administrator setup for me).

6. Then I get a list of Tables. When I right click on the table and choose "New Read Item Operation" I get the following error:

"The system definition with the same name as this data source already exists in the Business Data Connectivity Metadata Store and you do not have necessary permissions on it. Operation generate cannot be completed."

Can someone please help identify the problem? My Sharepoint IT team are unable to find what permission they need to grant me or what the problem is.

With SharePoint 2013, it seems Microsoft has changed how it behaves in IE when clicking on links for files. I'm specifically working with PDF files.

With SP 2010 I could go into a document library and click on a file name in the list and it would open using whatever I had configured in DocIcon.xml (SharePoint.OpenDocuments) to open the PDF. Now, in 2013 with the same configuration it seems to only download a copy and open it from the temp folder. There is no “edit in” option from the … context menu in 2013 like there was in 2010. 

As far as I can tell, the only way to use what’s configured in DocIcon.xml is to select a file in the list (place a check mark next to the file name), go to the File Tab and click Edit Document. Doing this will open the PDF using SharePoint.OpenDocuments.

I've set browser file handling to Permissive in Central Admin. I've gone to Library Settings > Advanced and tried all options for “Opening Documents in the Browser” (e.g. Use the server default) and it doesn’t change this behavior.

I've been doing a bunch of searching and experimenting with settings in IE and SharePoint and can't get it working the way I want.

Is there any way to click on the PDF file name in a document library and have it open using the OpenControl configured in DocIcon.xml? Or am I forced to select a file in the list and click Edit from the File Tab at the top?

Big thanks in advance for any insight or information.

Hi there I am having an interesting sharepoint problem that hopefully someone else has come across.

Environment: Outlook 2013, outlook 2016. Sharepoint 2013

problem: The sharepoint calendar and the sharepoint calendar connected to outlook show different results. Every day there are one or two (mostly recurring, or recurring exceptions) not shown on the outlook copy of the calendar.

When i delete and re-add the calendar to outlook, I get a send receive error as follows:

"Task 'sharepoint' reported error (0x80004005) : 'Failed to copy one or mote items. for details see the log file.'

However I dont know where this "log" is located. I looked in %temp%/outlook logging but there are no files in there.

When i enable debugging from the options menu in outlook, i get a different send receive error:

Task 'SharePoint' reported error (0x8004010F) : 'The SharePoint List (XXXXXXXXXXXXXX) cannot be found. If the problem continues, contact the SharePoint site administrator.  HTTP 404.'

But there are still no useful logs generated. Nothing to do with sharepoint and no error messages.

So i have two questions. Anyone ever seen this behaviour? I can find reference to a few things it might be, attachments on the list or weird characters. However the calendar items that are not copied (95% of them are) have no special characters and no attachments. They do seem to all be recurring events, however most of the items on the calendar are recurring events.

the second question is where is this mythical log file refereed to in the first screen shot error message? I think if i got access to that it might help me narrow down the problem.

This problem exists for everyone who tries to connect to this sharepoint calendar. They prefer using outlook because its quicker to update than sharepoint, but as the calendar is not copying everything, it cannot be trusted so they are forced to use the slower sharepoint route. yes they could use datasheet view or whatever however i would like them to stay in the calendar interface and just want to fix the outlook sync problem.

UPDATE: before posting this i tried to run the debugging mode again and got a new error screen:

and when i go look at that file, and click on the "errors" section i get:

For several pages.

Im going to go look up that error now as maybe it has more info. Any help appreciated.

Hi,

I have a list with one column having data type "Multiple Lines Of Text". Whenever I insert tabular data into that column, I get an error message when trying to open the list item. Any ideas why this is happening or how it can be fixed? This used to work before.

thanks,

Sherazad

when running Configuration wizard its failing at 3/10 with the following error Any help is greatly appreciated please help 

Error message:

I have a SharePoint 2013 Farm up and running, everything is fine and there are no problems being reported, except one "litttle issue" and it is getting very annoying, this particular issue is very persistent and is being reported on the Windows Event Viewer, I got always a pair and they show up here together/

I think I have an idea of how it happened, initially when I created my farm the User Profile Service wasn't working properly and I've deleted the previous and then I created a new one, I guess my farm topology still reporting and trying to browse to the old one but I'm not sure about it so at this point I'm not sure of what to do to get rid of this issue. 

I ran a couple of powershell commands to determine root cause of the problem and it is pointing to the existing User Profile Service:

Get-SPServiceApplication | select DisplayName, Id | ? {$_.DisplayName -like "User*"}

DisplayName                                                     Id
-----------                                                          --
User Profile Service Application                        fe09bb88-828e-4a43-9af5-beadd175f80c

Here it is what I get on my Event Viewer:

Hi there

WSS Logging database has no records - how to fix this? Is there any settings change needed?

Thanks a lot.

My SP 2013 Enterprise farm was not a upgrade from 2010 but a new install, when users try to follow any site they get the Socialistnotfound: the social list does not exist in your personal site.

In other posts I have seen this error revolving around upgrading from 2010. This is not the case for me. Anyone have any ideas of where to start to look?

Hello:

I'm trying to follow the instruction on the following link: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn441403.aspx

Hey guys

Getting a issue when editing user profile properties > Language and Region

I select "Always use my personal settings" and then leave everything as is. I have Calendar as Gregorian and Alternate Calendar also as Gregorian. Locale is English (New Zealand)

When I click Save I get a error and ULS throws the following exceptions:

I'm testing a new sp2013 environment and seeing that file uploads are far slower than they are in our prod sp2010 environment.  Obviously there are lots of differences - different hosting environment, etc - but when I RDP to one of the WFEs (which have hosts file entries pointing the site URL to the local IP of 127.0.0.1), the upload of a test 75 MB file takes around 35 seconds.

I am testing on a site that has been migrated from sp2010 and still uses the 2010 UI.

when I use a browser on a remote machine to upload a 75 MB file, the screen sits at the 'upload document' dialog for about 50 seconds after I select the file and click OK. I think during this time it is sending the file from the browser to the WFE. When I am on a browser on the actual WFE, this dialog disappears almost immediately.

The screen then changes to a "processing" dialog which stays about 30 seconds.This time is about the same when uploading from the WFE and also from the remote test machine. I think at this point, the WFE is doing something - this is the point that I think is taking too long. the CPU isn't substantially higher, memory is OK, and NIC usage isn't really doing anything.

Then, for about the last 10 seconds or so of that screen, I see the SEND traffic on the WFE nic increase, and the RECEIVE nic traffic on the SQL nic increase. When that nic traffic drops, the dialog disappears and the file is in place in sharepoint.  I think this last 10 seconds is when the file is actually being sent from the WFE to SQL.

so, at the sp2013 WFE (windows 2012), a 75 MB file upload takes about 35 seconds (to upload into sp2013). at the sp2010 WFE (win2008), the same file takes about 8 seconds (to upload into sp2010)

SharePoint Diagnostic Studio on the 2013 environment shows the upload POST entire duration of about 30K ms, and the QueryDuration of about 10K ms

On several of the uploads I've tracked down in the ULS logs, there are several ~10 second delays between consecutive ULS entries -The lines below are Category/message

• Cobalt/"no central zip directory found" and an "information rights management" entry (about 10 seconds elapse)
• Cobalt/"no central zip directory found" and a "client file access" entry - about 10 seconds elapse
• Monitoring/"leaving monitored scope(spFileStreamManager.ComputeStreamsToWrite" and Database/"Forced due to logging gap" - about 10 seconds elapse

Does anyone have any suggestions on this.  I feel like there must be some config that I am missing.  I can live with the transmission delay across the WAN, but not the equally long delay at the server.

Thanks

Hi,

Having issues upgrading a Site Collection to 2013 from 2010 mode.

In the Site Upgrade Log it shows as finished without any errors:

"Upgrade session finished successfully! 0 errors and 99 warnings encountered"

I can't click on the Gear, Profile Name, Browse, Page, Edit, etc. They just don't respond at all.

If I click on Site Contents I get: An unexpected error has occurred

Also if I click on the Question Mark or Focus on Content buttons they take me directly to the Master Pages Library (can't scroll or work with anything). In there the Approval Status for the folders 14, Display Templates and Themable are in a Pending State.

Any ideas on what the issue might be would be much appreciated.
