Hello,

We are planning to have few host name site collections under the dedicated web applications in SHAREPOINT 2013.

Questions are,

1. Is there any big concerned (any known issues with HNBS in SP2013) I should look at it before I go this route?

2. What's the pros and cons?

3. I'm thinking to go with the separate content database for each HNBS? Right way to go?

4. When I use the FQDN for site collection, e.x. abc.domain.com, It's always asking for credentials. I believe it's due to the company's group policy so I'm thinking to have site collection will be http://abc (no FQDN). - So will that be any issue?

Please give me your best suggestions

Thanks. 

Hi, I have a brand new sharepoint 2016, sql2014 SP1. After installing Database engine only, then Sharepoint, I added the shared features "Resporting services- Sharepoint" and "Reporting Services add-in for sharepoint" as well as Analysis services.

In the Sharepoint powershell management console, when I run Install-SPRSService , I get

Install-SPRSService : The term 'Install-SPRSService' is not recognized as the
name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the
spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is
correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ Install-SPRSService
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (Install-SPRSService:String) [],
    CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

So what is missing here? How can I get this module? It seems that only through powershell I can setup the SR service in sharepoint 2016

Thanks in advance

Hi Everyone,

Is there a mean to Notify user when someone Cuts a document:

1. From one folder to another in SharePoint

2. From one folder in SharePoint to their desktop

Is there any audit logs that allows me to see above movements?

Hi

I read the following from Microsoft TechNet concerning a security issue when configure domain for SharePoint Apps.

" ..By using a separate domain name, apps for SharePoint are separated from SharePoint sites to prevent unauthorized access to user data and to reduce the possibility of cross-site scripting attacks. The use of separate URLs for apps for SharePoint and SharePoint sites is called app isolation...)

the following are our SharePoint domain and from that I want to create a domain structure for our SharePoint Apps:

current SharePoint domain:   spweb.actxt.net
For SharePoint Apps,  I plan to create a new DNS zone spwebapps.actxt.net and create a wildcard DNS record there and also create a new SSL certificate.

I think this should be what I need to prevent possible security issue with cross-site scripting attacks.

If anyone have worked with SharePoint Apps on premise or have better way or think what I have still not good enough,  please advise or comment.

Thanks

Will
having peer domains resolve the security issue of cross domain activity

Hi,

I have a 3 tiers infrastructure. 1 WFE, 1 APP and 1 SQL.

If I stop the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application in the App server, I can't access the web apps like http://intranet or http://mysite.

What can I do to have the App Server to be an actual App server?

Thanks.

Hi

I searched and found many results about this issue and had applied the fix but still didn't work.

here my case:

manually created a Site collection site owner group (testowners) and assign it with Full Control.
I am a member of the group. 

First,  I got a "Sorry this site hasn’t been shared with you"when I tried to open Access Request link
So I found solutions and granted full control to the Access Request List fortestowners group

and with more solution steps,  I also have reset the site owner group with (layouts/15/permsetup.aspx )and selected testowners as a site owner group.
I also went and recycled all the application pools in IIS and done IISreset as well.

Still, Now I can open Access Request list and see requests but when I tried to approve I got a "Request Approval Failed" but If I tried to Decline then the decline was succeed.

Anyone have been able to resolve this or any other idea I can try, please share.

Thanks in advance

I am trying to change the account used for distributed cache from the farm account to a less privileged service account. I perform the following.

Stop-SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance -Graceful -Verbose

$farm = Get-SPFarm
$cacheService = $farm.Services | where {$_.Name -eq "AppFabricCachingService"}
$accnt = Get-SPManagedAccount -Identity 'domain\account'
$cacheService.ProcessIdentity.CurrentIdentityType = "SpecificUser"
$cacheService.ProcessIdentity.ManagedAccount = $accnt
$cacheService.ProcessIdentity.Update()
$cacheService.ProcessIdentity.Deploy()

Get-SPServiceInstance | where typename -like "*cach*" | Start-SPServiceInstance

The account name changes and the AppFabric Caching Service starts.

However, afterwards I cannot connect to the cache cluster anymore.

Use-CacheCluster
Get-CacheClusterHealth
Get-CacheClusterHealth : ErrorCode<ERRCAdmin040>:SubStatus<ES0001>:Failed to connect to hosts in the cluster
At line:1 char:1+ Get-CacheClusterHealth+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-AFCacheClusterHealth], DataCacheException+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.DataCacheException,Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Cachi
   ng.Commands.GetAFCacheClusterHealthCommand

Changing back to the farm account allows it to function again.

Hi,

I've developed a custom workflow using Visual Studio 2013. I have successfully deployed and tested it on my development server.

I've been trying to deploy it on a pre-production environment but not to avail so far. 

I have an error message while activating the feature. the log says :

System.InvalidOperationException: System.ArgumentException: WSEventSourceGUID
at Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices.WorkflowSubscriptionStorageEventReceiver.ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)   
at Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices.SPWorkflowPackageFeatureReceiver.FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)

I have been really struggling for days on this and I could not found anything revelant on the web...
I've ended up updating, recreating the workflow service application, etc. The Workflow service status says "connected".
But I'm running out of idea...

Thank for your advice and suggestion ;)

Hi folks,

I need to add a new WFE server to my farm. According to technet article after i install SharePoint Bin I can just run the the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard to add it to the farm:

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc261752.aspx

That sounds very straight forward but I would also like to know what if my farm already patched with SP1 and CU. I was wondering before running PSconfig do i need to install SP1 up[date and CU patches or I need to do it after i join it to the farm?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I read several options to create HA and DR with SharePoint in combination with SQL AlwaysON.
For example this post > https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/salbawany/2014/07/06/sql-server-alwayson-sharepoint-2013-high-availability-and-disaster-recovery/

The same applies for SharePoint 2013 with DR to Azure.
I got a question about this setup

1) I see that the 3 SQL nodes are all in the same "cluster" and thus domain correct?
2) I see only 1 Avail Group, I presume that in this single Avail Group are only Content Databases?
3) I presume the SharePoint farm/server in 'local site' have a SQL alias pointing to the SQL alwayson Avail Group listener?
4) Does the SharePoint farm/server in the Remote site/DR have a SQL alias and where is it pointing to?
5) With 3) and 4) if the servers have alias to the same listener FQDN , will this not cause that the SharePoint servers in local site can connect to DR sql and SharePoint servers in DR site can connect to local site sql's?

We got the message: "Some file can harm your
computer. If the file information below looks suspicious…" when the site
is in the Local Intranet zone in IE11.

We have SharePoint 2013 with Office Web Apps
configured to open in the Client Application by default. There is no option to
move it the Trusted Sites in IE, neither disable the SharePoint OpenDocument
Class since we need to open it in the client application.

The right click open in a new tab seems to be the best
solution, but if anyone knows an easier way to resolve this issue, please help.

Hi,

I have a InfoPath library (XML) where I have a problem with duplicate internal fields.

The field "Template Link" seems to have been duplicated somehow, and this seems to have happen recently (possibly due to a SharePoint update).  I've investigated these two fields further, and notice that they are identical for all properties, except the Internal Name. 

The display name and ID (GUID)! are identical, but the internal name is for one "TemplateUrl" and the other "TemplateUrl0". I've also noticed that TemplateUrl is notSealed (false), and is in the "Custom Columns" field group, while TemplateUrl0 is Sealed (true), and is in the "_Hidden" field group.  Another property that's different is "SourceId", for TemplateUrl it is "{6B858415-123C-4BA6-A02B-426A5EDE3BEA}" and TemplateUrl0 it's "http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/v3".

I've also checked the values of these fileds on the items in the library. And notice that items usuall have a value (allways the same value) in both fields, but sometimes one or the other field is blank.

I'm getting errros when updating Nintex workflows. Stating duplicate fields. Even though I don't make any modifications. Also if I click the "Relink all" button (in Reling documents settings section of the library) I get an error.

Here I'm trying to delete one of the fields form the libary:

$field = $library.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName("TemplateUrl0")
$field.AllowDeletion = $true
$field.Update()
'Exception calling "Update" with "0" argument(s): "Field name already exists.'

What should I do with these fields? Is it safe to delete one of them, and relink the items in the library?

How can I delete the exrta field, when SP stops me from doing anything due to this catch-22 situation?

Receive this error when opening explorer in SharePoint 2013 library:

We're having a problem opening this location in File Explorer. Add this web site to your Trusted Sites list and try again.

This error happens on the Windows 8.1 client and Windows Server 2012 R2.

Using Windows 8.1 with all updates

Tried IE 11 64bit and 32 bit same result

Server is 2012 R2 datacenter with all updates

SharePoint 2013 foundation with SQL express (out of the box setup)

Web client installed and running on both Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2

Added the site to both server and client in the trusted site area of IE

I did installed the desktop experience on the server 2012 R2 and rebooted. I then checked to see if the webclient service was started and it was. However, I still get the same error from any Windows 8.1 box I use.

Loaded up a fresh copy of Windows 8.1 and still received the same error. Tried again from the SharePoint 2013 Foundation server and still received the same error: We're having a problem opening this location in File Explorer. Add this web site to your Trusted Sites list and try again

Please help with any other ideas.
