There is a version mismatch between the Web server and the content databases, and connections to the data have been blocked to avoid data loss

Hi Everyone,

We have not done any patching and updates but receiving the following error while running workflows in preprod environment

There is a version mismatch between the Web server and the content databases, and connections to the data have been blocked to avoid data loss. This can happen when a service pack is not completely installed. Notify your server administrators so that they can upgrade the Web server and the databases to the same version. For more information about installing service packs and updates, see the Microsoft Web site (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=177163).

This error is intermittent and causing most of the workflows failed in the server.

Other technet forums suggested to run the psconfig command to fix this issue.

PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures -cmd secureresources

Is it fine to run the above command though we didnt install any updates/patches in the servers. Should we take the backup before running the above command?

Regards

Hi Everyone,

we are having SP 2013 multi server farm with 2 WFEs, 3 app servers with workflow manager and 2 search servers & 1 SQL server All these are VM ware machines. 

Infra team is planning to upgrade VM ware tools on these boxes and rebooting is planned for all the servers .

We have plan with minimum outage time to business as follows :

Install the required patches on 1WFE, 1 App server where CA is hosted and Database server and rebooting these three servers during planned outage time.

Once the above three servers are up, make farm available to business and continue windows patching on the remaining servers.

Is this plan fine to implement in production environment? 

Do we have to follow any specific order of rebooting for SP servers like app servers first and web servers, search servers follows the queue?

How to import Excel spreadsheet into SharePoint 2013 list? (not as an attachment)

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.

Cannot See New Record in Document Library

Good afternoon. I am supporting a SharePoint 2013 on-prem document library (on a public site) located at https://bot.ncat.edu/_layouts/15/start.aspx#/Trustee%20Profiles. One of my clients (a site owner, but not a site collection administrator) used the "+ new document" function to add a new record to the library. She can see the newly added record when she is logged in, but not when she is logged out. (She should see it when she is logged out because this is a public site). I logged in as both a site collection administrator and a farm administrator. I could not see the new record.

  1. How can we make the new record visible to the public?
  2. Why would neither a farm administrator nor a site collection administrator be able to see a record in a document library?

Thank you.

People Picker shows Users deleted from Site (UIL)

Hi,

i want to restrict People Picker to Users in the Site collection using the properties:

OnlySearchWithinSiteCollection
PeopleEditorOnlyResolveWithinSiteCollection

It works as expected. People picker only resolves existing users. Not possible to add other AD Users.

Now i delete a user either by clicking (X-remove) from UserInfo Page (/_layouts/15/userdisp.aspx?id=99&force=true)

or by using powershell: >Remove-SPUser -Identity "i:0#.w|domain\username" -Web $RootWeb

In both cases People Picker still resolves the deleted user.

If i add the deleted User again the former Entry will show up with the same ID and properties in the User Information List.

Its  a good thing - if e.g. at later migrations something goes wrong because of deleted users.

But how can i hide these "Zombie" - Users  from People Picker?

regards

Any ideas?

Can we restore WindowsImageBackup of physical machine which is domain controller to virtual machin in Hyper-V

Hi there,

I had installed windows server 2012 standard evaluation 180 days and installed active directory, dns and group policy as well.

It was running fine until I tried to install retail version license as the edition of the server with domain controller cannot be converted with DISM (according to forums) I had to demote the server.

I added additional DC and tried to demote the previous DC but something went wrong and now the Primary and Additional both DCs are not working except the DNS from additional DC. There are 35 users who connect to Active Directory so I was thinking to restore the backup of Primary DC to a virtual machine in lab and try to figure out the licensing issue and then add the physical server as ADC and then transfer roles to it and seize but I am not been able to restore the image in to virtual machine as it says that the backup was taken in UEFI and the virtual machine has BIOS enabled.

Is it possible to restore WindowsImageBackup in to Hyper-V VM if I installed same edition of windows that was installed in Primary DC when the backup was taken?

I found in forums that the server2012 standard R2 Hyper-v supports UEFI boot support. So do I need to have R2 in Hyper-V server to be able to restore that image.

Please need help.

Thank you
Satish.

SharePoint 2013 Microfeed: when deleting a comment with a reply, the reply is not deleted from the microfeed.

September 1, 2016, 1:20 am

I have the following problem:

There is a comment in the microfeed with a reply. In the microfeed the comment got ID: 18 with rootpostID: 1, the reply has ID: 19 with rootpostID: 18 so the reply is linked to the comment.

Its sounds logical to me when you deleting the comment all linked replies also are deleted.

None of this is true because when deleting a comment the reply persists in the microfeed, while following the link returns a "Looks like somebody deleted this conversation".

The problem is that the majority of my users just deleted comments, so there are a lot of replies left in the microfeed. These replies keep returning in a search result which is against our business regulations.

Is there a way to make sure all linked replies are deleted while deleting just the comment?

Best regards,
Jaimy

I am facing issues while adding AD domain group into sharepoint permission. I have already verified it the group is a security group and the issue persist for manty AD groups.

I get below error in ULS

The user does not exist or is not unique.<nativehr>0x81020054</nativehr><nativestack></nativestack>

I see the behaviour more often when i add the group and delete the group and then try to re add the group into permissions.

My sharepoint site has unique permissions with users directly provisioned.
