Hello,

Could you please help me to create SharePoint 2013 farm?

Requirement: We are developing SharePoint site and Nintex workflows, but want to deploy nintex workflow on separate server and SharePoint portal should be on separate server. 

Request you to please suggest me the way to achieve above requirement. 

Thank You,

Santosh

Hi All,

Environment

I have an Announcements section on my SharePoint 2013 site. As a global company, we have announcements that need to be visible only for certain locations (we have AD groups for each location). We are doing permissions to the list, as well as to the individual items.

Problem

So, the problem exists that we have users that are able to see the list title, however if the select the announcement, they are unable to see it. This is what the international user sees:

http://screencast.com/t/EggmGamlxef

And this is what a Grand Rapids person sees:

http://screencast.com/t/y4wNeMJ5fMCz

So, as you can see, it is filtering based on the permissions to show only what is allowed to the user.

One thing to note on this, the extra permissions are being added via the Shared With option.

List Information

So, for the list, the default is, the only users that can see everything are in MOSS-Grand Rapids. When a new event is created, the administrator is then able to add in additional locations (in the case of this first one MOSS-United Kingdom). Once that is set up, the UK user is then able to see the title to the announcement, but not the actual announcement.

What has gone before

Originally, we had this set up that all of the locations were added to have READ permissions to the list, however, two use cases were violated because of this:

1. People should not be alerted when a new Announcement is created if they are not part of the proper group (Such as the parking lot repaving)
2. The Administrator does not want to remove all of the other groups each time.They want it to default to MOSS-Grand Rapids, and then include others as needed.
3. We have this working in SharePoint 2007 with the same exact permission structure (the people have Limited Access to the list, but they have Read Access to the individual items that they need). In SP2007, this works as expected (they are only able to see the specific items, without having read access to the list.

Is there a way to accomplish this, without resorting to JavaScript (or CSOM)?

Thanks

Hello,

I am having issues with the Visio Graphics service in our production environment.  Whenever someone clicks on a VSDX file, the following error is shown:

Unable to retrieve data from the server. The web request failed.

I've done a lot of research on this error and have tried several fixes.  Here is what I've tried so far:

1. Created a new Visio Service Application and associated it with the app proxy group for my web app and removed the association for the old Visio Service App.

2. Ensured that the App Pool account for the Visio Service Application has access to the Visio cache folder on the SP servers.

3. Ensured that the App Pool account has rights on the content database.

Here are a couple of possibilities I have NOT tried yet:

1. Clear the SharePoint 2013 config cache.

2. Delete ALL instances of Visio Graphics Service and then create a new one.

Error #1 in Trace Logs:

Error #2:

Error #3:

Error #4:

Error #5:

Any suggestions?

Hi,

I've a SharePoint Farm with 3 serv (1 WFE, 1 Backend and 1 SQL).

the SharePoint timer Service keeps stopping every 2min.

I've the following error in ULS log : 

Medium  	Detected upgrade mode regkey
Medium  	Updating SPPersistedObject SPUpgradeJobDefinition Name=job-upgrade. Version: -1 Ensure: False, HashCode: 60332585, Id: ec9d6304-daa9-4ca1-87a1-39c6a3e82f6c, Stack:    à Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPJobDefinition.Update()     à Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPTimerStore.CheckEnterUpgradeMode(SPFarm farm, Object& jobDefinitions, Int32& timerMode)     à Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPTimerStore.InitializeTimer(Int64& cacheVersion, Object& jobDefinitions, Int32& timerMode, Guid& serverId, Boolean& isServerBusy)     à Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPNativeConfigurationProvider.InitializeTimer(Int64& cacheVersion, Object& jobDefinitions, Int32& timerMode, Guid& serverId, Boolean& isServerBusy)

Suddenly search stopped working for all sites for Non Default zones in AAM, it has always worked before. We have not changed any configuration related to search or AAM.

We see below error in ULS logs

I have seen some similar posts in which they had mentioned about Orphaned items in content databases which we cleaned by deleting them but still does not work

Kindly help!

Hello,

I am running a single server instance of SharePoint 2013 in my companies prod environment. The issue I am facing is that the Distributed Cache Service will not start when attempting to start from Central Administration. When I click start, the page reloads and it still says the service is stopped. What are some possible causes and fixes for this? Also, it may be worth the mention that I am having an error in the event log every 3 minutes communicating that the timer service has stopped and restarted.

Is there a way to identify how many users have been granted access to a particular Site Collection in a given time; let's assume a month?

After doing Windows Updates my SharePoint farm started having issues. I am not able to run psconfig... when i do try to run it i get the following message: Only one copy of the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard can be run at a time.

Also i am not able to Add SP Snapin: The local farm is not accessible. Cmdlets with FeatureDependencyId are not registered.

here are some error logs... please help

Ok so a while ago we switched from AD Import to SharePoint Sync.  Ever since then the MySites newsfeeds dont work and I get an error code: 55.  I have looked and followed all the forms saying that its an access issue.  Currently I am using my farm account and it has full control of the ups, web application and service.  I am lost on what could be causing the issue.

Hi all,

We have a strange one really, we have a site with numerous subsites.  They appear in the top bar as links in the parent site as desired.  5 or 6 sites are hidden from the global navigation bar.  We wish to hide another one.  The following procedure works on every other site in the main site but it doesn't appear to work on this one.  The accounts used to try to change the options have been a site admin as well as a site collection admin and a farm admin:

1. Go to site settings

2. Go to Navigation

3. Go to "Structural Navigation: Editing and Sorting"

4. Under global navigation highlight desired subsite and click the hide button.

5. Click OK at the bottom of the page

When doing it for the affected site at step 4 it claims the site is hidden, however after clicking OK the site is clearly not hidden and going back to step 2 shows that the (hidden) indicator is not next to the desired site.  Also it is possible to change it's ordering but not to hide this site.

I'm at a loss on this one, has anyone come across this?

Cheers

I have an powershell that add a managed data property, however, it only does 1 at a time. I would like to create an XML file and have script to read from the XML and add them to the system.

Does anyone have any examples of adding a managed data properties using powershell that is reading from an XML file? I have about 50 or so to add and adding them manually is consuming and could have some typos being done manually. I have to run this in several environments

Hello,

Can someone please provide me with an insight on this. My workflows are failing (both out of the box and SPD developed) with the error "The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly." I have checked my email settings configuration and all seems to be correctly configured.

Recently, my company migrated to Exchange online. could this be the reason?

Any help with this will be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Hi All,

We have 6 servers in our SharePoint 2013 Farm. 2 App and 4 WFE.

Now we want same replica as a pre-prod. Means same 6 servers in QA ( Pre-Prod ) environment. Client want justification, why you need 6 servers in QA. Can't we use single server in QA for test, solution deployment and patch etc. Single server is fine from my side in QA ( Pre-Prod) . but we proposed 6 servers. we need some points to justify this.

any MS article for the same would be great help for me.

Please help :)

I am having issues in accessing a SP 2013 site that I created on port 80.  This site should actually be visible by everyone but I can't even see it, and I created it.  I keep getting 'Sorry, this site hasn't been shared with you.' even though I did share it with myself.

I have tried removing then adding myself as the site collection admin, clearing the Distributed Cache, clearing the bindings.... You name it, I've done it.

Hi,

many articles state that kerberos needs an A record for every hnsc site. I observed this:

-web-app: Hnsc.contoso.com

-registered spn HTTP/Hnsc.contoso.com dom\appsvc

- CNAME records for hnsc sites

teamA.contoso.com, teamB.contoso.com

Now with a client (IE11 or Office 2010) i browse the team sites. Klist shows the ticket for the hnsc.contoso.com webapp - kerberos authentication works for all hnsc sites.

Another effect: On a non-domain client if the user saves the password in windows vault the entry is created for hnsc.contoso.com, the A record all hnsc CNAME records are pointing to.

So, using CNAME records with hnsc sites has 2 advantages: 1. No need to register SPN for every site

2. A kind of "SSO" for users that save the password in the windows vault.

or do i overlook something?

best regards

Hi,

We have created a SharePoint online library and enabled IRM for the Library. We have given access for a file to a user. When we try to access the file using word online using the user account it opens without any issue. But When we try to download the file and open it from Local computer Office Word, it always says "you do not have credentials that allow you to open this document.You can request updated permission from ... Do you want to request updated permission".

We have verified the user is logged on to the computer using the same user account and Office Word is logged on as well. Also we have verified the user has permission for the file from SharePoint Online. But it still asks for permission even though the user has full permission for the file. Someone kindly help

Thank you
