Windows and SharePoint patches combined?

$
0
0

Is MS now combining the monthly security patches into one package with no way to separate them out.

We normally apply SharePoint patches at a later time or just take care of them with a CU once tested.

I have gotten some conflicting information on this from non MS sources

thanks

My Site creation failure for user

$

Dear Experts,

this one is on SP 2013 SP1 On-Premise, Version: 15.0.4841.1000 

I am getting Event-ID 5187 and same Error in ULS-Log while hitting "About Me":

The strange thing is, that the URL is two times there, concatenated!

My Site creation failure for user mydomain\Ronny.Lewandowski' for site url 'https://sharepoint-mysite.mydomain.de/https://sharepoint-mysite.mydomain.de/personal/ronny_lewandowski'. The exception was: Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.PersonalSiteCreateConfigurationException: A failure was encountered while attempting to create the site, wildcard inclusion used to create personal sites does not exist.
   at Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfile.<>c__DisplayClass2.<CreateSite>b__0()
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities.SecurityContext.RunAsProcess(CodeToRunElevated secureCode)
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(WaitCallback secureCode, Object param)
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(CodeToRunElevated secureCode)
   at Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfile.CreateSite(String strRequestUrl, Boolean bCollision, Int32 overrideCompatLevel, Int32 lcid).

The message "wildcard inclusion used to create personal sites does not exist" cannot be correct because we have that Managed Path under My-Site-Host:

Self-Service Site Creation Management is "On" and Managed Path is set:

My-Site-Host has an own Web-Application.

Permission-Policy has been added to Everyone (Create SubSites).

UPS is up and running (Use SharePoint Profile Synchronization).

UPS-User Property "Photo" has been mapped to "thumbnailPhoto". (Could that causing this issue?)

UPS is syncing fine, Search is working perfect.

Does anybody run into the same issue and can help?

With Kind Regards, Ronny

Document Library default value column

$

0

Hi. i am tasked to create a document library to manage document uploads.

inside this document library will contained various folders. each folder will have a column named "Security Classification".

the security classification will be determined when the user create the folder and subsequent upload to this folder will inherit the Security Classification of the folder.

my question

  1. how do i set in Sharepoint such that user is required to enter the Security Classification whenever they create a folder in the Document Library?
  2. how do i setup the inherit?

example Document Library name is HR Department. whenever user try to create a folder directly at HR Department he is required to specify the Security Classification. So when user create a folder in /HR Department he need to fill in the Security Classification. But if the create a folder in /HR Department/Misc, he do not need to specify the Classification, the classification should inherit from Misc. i tried with the Column Default Value Setting but it seems to affect the whole library.

further example

HR Department <- this is the document library

/HR Department/Misc <- Security Classification set to restricted

/HR Department/Misc/memo.doc <- Security Classification will be restricted upon file creation

/HR Department/Payroll <- Security Classification set to secret

/HR Department/Payroll/employeeA.pdf <- Security Classification will be set to secret upon file creation

I am having problems with the installation of SharePoint 2013.

I have installed AppFabric manually, but when i proceed with the setup i still get the same errors about the AppFabric


I also followed also the scripts (below links) to work around the AppFabric error, but i still got AppFabric errors.

In one of mySharePoint Farm, in one server where Search has been implemented, C drive is getting full due to Crawler gatherring service. I need to shift the location to another Drive on the same server.

I have increased the size of C drive to 300 GB (Earlier it was 100 GB so we added 200 GB additionaly). 
But I want to know if there is any solution to move the folders to another drive other than re-installing SharePoint on that server. 
I used PowerShell script to achieve this but no luck. The script ran without any error but while doing Full Crawl again C Drive is getting full and the contents are not storing on the new drive.

What is the best way to stand up a REPLICA SharePoint test environment in Azure

$
0
0

We have 3 VM's: SharePoint 2013 server, Sql Server 2014 and a DC.  In my local on-premises data center I created a SharePoint test environment by creating 3 replica virtual machines on a separate spare server (in a separate subnet).  SharePoint ran fine and this test environment had the same Active Directory users and groups as Production.  So it was a very good replica of the production environment.

Now I would like to create a test environment in the cloud.  I know that the whole farm can be recreated using Backup-SPFarm -full.  But we do not have site to site VPN connection or an ExpressRoute set up.  So moving all the content about 1.5 TB is impossible.  So it is best to move the site template only without the data.  And we also need to move the Active Directory users and groups that SharePoint needs.

Just for testing, I created a 3 VM SharePoint farm in Azure (using the Quickstart ARM templates).  SharePoint web application ran fine.  Then I copied my on-prem DC VHD to the Azure VNET containing the SharePoint farm.  Then using PowerShell, I created the DC VM and attached the VHD to it.  SharePoint and Sql Server VM's needed to be rejoined to the Domain (with the new DC) to re-establish trust.  However, SharePoint now gives a "server error in '/' application".  


1) Is there a recommended method from Microsoft for creating a SharePoint test environment (structure without the content) in Azure?

2) I have started to investigate the SharePointDSC module from Microsoft.  Has anyone used Powershell DSC to configure a test environment in Azure?

3) Or is it better to use tools like AutoSPInstaller (powershell script) to recreate the test site?  Or can SPDocKit be used for this purpose?

Thanks!!

Opening Word document from SharePoint library using Office Web Apps not allowing edits

So we deployed a new Office Web Apps server about a month ago and it has been working smoothly, no problems whatsoever. Today I noticed that although you can view Word documents from SharePoint libraries on Office Web Apps, you cannot edit, you get the"Sorry, this document can't be opened for editing".  I am however able to edit PowerPoint and Excel using Office Web Apps.  I have attempted to create a document from SharePoint using OWA and get the same error message.  The file is generated and shows up on the library however in order to edit it, it must be opened using the client side application.  I tried to take a Word document download a copy then save/replace the document in the library with the same results.  Does anyone have any ideas of what could be the issue?

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.

Enterprise Search Center

Hi 

What's the best practice regarding a Enterprise Search Center?  

Is it a Subsite? - or separate Site Collection - or a new WebApplication with its own Site Collection?  

Right now - I've create a Portal based on the Team Site template http://portal

also created a new Site collection for Enterprise Search Center http://portal/sites/searchcenter and specified the search URL in the service Application in central admin

and where should all the custom Display templates "live" in these scenarios - so I can apply a display template on the frontpage of the portal?

Hi,

I have a nlb url and server specific url in a load balanced environment. Whenever user tries to open file thru NLB url they get this error. but servername url works fine.

Sharepoint 2013 Web application url  could not be found. Verify that you have typed the URL correctly. If the URL should be serving existing content, the system administrator may need to add a new request URL mapping to the intended application
