Hi,

I am trying to upgrade Service Pack 1 ( officeserversp2013-kb2880552-fullfile-x64-en-us ) . I am using Windows server 2008 R2 standard 64 bit.When I run the service pack as Administrator, I am getting the error as "Installation of this package failed".

I have checked that the folder and exe is not in read-only mode. The user running the service pack is the Admin. I am not seeing any error in eventvwr.

How to fix this?

Thanks

The c2wtshost.exe config file on OOS server is direrent from SharePoint Server:

      <clear />
           <add value="NT AUTHORITY\Network Service" />
      <!-- <add value="NT AUTHORITY\Local Service" /> -->
      <!-- <add value="NT AUTHORITY\System" /> -->
      <!-- <add value="NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users" /> -->
    </allowedCallers>
  </windowsTokenService>
</configuration>

VS.

    <allowedCallers>
      <clear />
      <add value="WSS_WPG" />
    </allowedCallers>
  </windowsTokenService>
</configuration>

Should be the same?

I am a farm admin, local admin, and site collection admin, and site owner. When trying to export a web I get access denied. The ULS shows an SPRequest.OpenWeb to the correct managed path and site but the wrong web application. In this case it picks my Central Admin web app.

Greetings!

We have a SharePoint 2013 site that is setup as www.thesite.com, using AAM configured as such (using http://www.thesite.com), with an A record (www) in DNS pointing to FQDN http://www.thesite.com. When testing without the "www" (orhttp://thesite.com), it does hit the site, but consistently fails with the "Sorry, something went wrong" screen. If usinghttp://www.thesite.com, the site opens without issue. I attempted to locate the error ID in the SP logs, but (interesting) the GUID doesn't appear (Medium level logging). I'm a bit rusty when it comes to DNS \ AAM and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction for what I may be missing. Thanks!

Our enterprise admins recently installed a new SSL. Old one expired.

Now our third party apps are broken. Does anyone know what needs to be done? I get the below error in place of third party web part.

Enterprise admins are not aware of what needs to be done since it is their first time setting up SSL in SharePoint environment.

Any pointers?

I'm trying to understand where to go, to give users the permission to add apps to their site.

I have tried creating a group, and tried adding users, but I'm totally lost. I don't understand how this is working.

I have full access permissions, but I'm not sure how to give users the ability just to add apps.

I've looked at the technet articles on it, but they're not clear on where to go.

I thought at first you would go to Central Admin, but then I started looking in the Site Settings under their site, and saw more options for Groups and People. But even then, when adding the users, it doesn't look like there's an option to give their group, or their user permissions to do anything.

I can see the apps just fine.

One user reported they didn't even see the Add an App option.

The required services are started.

Do I have to give a user Full Control in order for them to add apps to their site collection?

Where do I go to do that? Central Admin or their site settings?

Why can't I view the group permissions, even when I create a group in their site?

Where do I go to see individual permissions for a person? I can see them in Central Admin, but they're so limited- not even close to the granularity listed in the technet article.

Here's the group I created:

And again nothing shows for permissions.

Hello,

I've been searching all over the internet for a few days now and I'm unable to find any sort of answer/solution to my issue. I'm trying to configure Office 365 (SharePoint Online and Exchange Online). Things were going smoothly until I was trying to setup incoming/outgoing with SharePoint.

I need to configure a workflow so users can send a form to an email address and have that email accepted by SharePoint Online and add the form to a Document Library. The workflow would then continue with other steps and under the correct conditions email individuals letting them know a new document was added and provide a link to the form on SharePoint Online.

I have done with with MOSS 2007 (current prod environment) and it works great. I can't figure out how to do with without on-prem servers for the new environment I'm building for the organization.

Any suggestions, tips, links to directions, etc. would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Hello everyone,

My first server is Serv_DB: SQL Server 2014 Standard French 64-bit with SP2, VM ESX Server.

My second server is Serv_SHP: SharePoint 2013 Standard US with SP1, VM ESX Server.

Account MOSS_ADMIN: Account setup, Local administrator of the server and Dbcreator and securityadmin SQL Server role.

Account MOSS_FARM: Account configuration of the farm, Local administrator of the server.

All servers are running Windows Server 2012 FR R2.

UAC is completely disabled (also in the registry).

All Windows Update updates have been applied.

TCP/IP Chimney is disabled and it is not used: checked with netstat - t.

The SharePoint configuration wizard is run as an administrator.

There is no specific messages in SharePoint Logs and Windows event viewer.

The SharePoint_Config database and the central administration database are well created but step 3 of creating databases does not end after a time greater than 1 hour.

Any ideas? Thank you.

Hi,

I've just done a ContentDB migration from SharePoint 2013 to SharePoint 2016 (there was very little content in the 2013 farm) and a quirk I've immediately noticed is that a Geo Location field I'd created in the 2013 farm, is there, but missing it's content.

Anybody else experienced this? It's not a massive deal to me, just some annoying data entry, but for others it might be a bigger deal.

Looking for some solutions for the community going forward, perhaps tools like DocAve or Sharegate handle this, or any idea why a ContentDB didn't handle this?

Having a list (total 40 columns) that gets info from BCS/External Content Type from a separate DB...and in SharePoint there's defined a view that shows 14 columns - all good - but when I export that to Excel, Excel only shows 11 columns??? 

why isn't every 14 columns in Excel upon export? 

A simple question really - how the hell do you get SharePoint Store Apps to actually work with on-premise SharePoint? I've followed all the procedures and solved various issues on the way but a successful implementation still eludes me.

I can see my SharePoint Store App in the list of apps I can add to my site. When I select it I receive a message asking me if I trust the application. When I choose Yes, SharePoint thinks for a moment before telling me it can't communicate with the SharePoint store.  If I search for the correlation ID in my SharePoint log I see the following entry:

11/02/2016 11:18:17.41 w3wp.exe (0x4A9C)0x2F5CSharePoint Foundation Topology 8311

Critical

An operation failed because the following certificate has validation errors: Subject Name: CN=*.vo.msecnd.net Issuer Name: CN=Microsoft IT SSL SHA2, OU=Microsoft IT, O=Microsoft Corporation, L=Redmond, S=Washington, C=US Thumbprint: C5EAD0A15ED7A1CD5BC967206FF5443084682294 Errors:   PartialChain: A certificate chain could not be built to a trusted root authority. RevocationStatusUnknown: The revocation function was unable to check revocation for the certificate. OfflineRevocation: The revocation function was unable to check revocation because the revocation server was offline. .    fa6eb39d-784d-209c-8f93-622fedf5c2ff

Great! What does it mean though? What certificate? My SharePoint server is for internal (intranet use only) so it doesn't have a certificate from an official certificate authority. Why does it need one? The subject of certificates isn't even raised in the step-by-step guides I've followed. Confused and just a little bit fed up. Why is this so difficult to set up? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

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

Robert

Hi, We want to upgrade our existing SP2013's SQL Server version ONLY from SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012 R2.

I want to know approach if any one has experience?

- We have SQL Alias which we update to new DB server.

- New DB Server will have Windows server 2012 as OS while SP2013 has windows server 2008 R2.

- Will "Config DB & Content DB" work or needs upgrade once restored on SQL Server 2012 as database server?

Thanks,

Parth

Hello,

We are using SharePoint 2013 on Prem. We added a new user into AD. Most users are included without an issue, and everything works fine. However, we have a user that was added to AD. They should up in Search, and they have a Profile on the site. However, in People Picker, we would like for them to show up there as well. Basically this is what we have:

Jane Owner  (this one shows)
Pet Foundation (this one shows)
Jane Owner - Pet Foundation (this does not show in people picker, but shows in search results)

I am looking all over the settings, and I am not finding anything. I wanted to try and just add the user (either by the Domain\Account or name), but I can't as that uses a people picker as well. The account is inactive, however, that is not preventing a number of other inactive accounts from showing up (such as JaneOwnerPhotos).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

hallo I am trying to change database name in connection string to sharepoint config database here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\15.0\Secure\ConfigDB

I can change it. but if I start timer service or try to access some site collection, the old database name is restored (I think whole string is restored).

THe question is - how to prevent this restore (I can set permissions to read only, but I want to use some better way). And from which place the string is restored, where sharepoint keeps its copy? I cant find it in registry and faild to find it in file system

thank you

should they buy sql server enterprise edition ? or sql server  std is sufficient for a prod. deployment?

when should i go for standard edition and when should i go for enterprise edition.

Hi,

I installed SharePoint with DC on a VM on my home PC.

Now, in my company desktop, I would like to use that VM and have it connected to the company network.

Is there any problem on doing this?

Can I set my vm DC to trust the company DC and then be able to recognize the company accounts on my VM?

Thanks,

Hello everyone,

I have SharePoint 2013 Enterprise server and we have issue when I go into Central admin under option "Servers in Farm" we have listed database server that does not exist any more, back in the days before I took over this responsibility, administrator at the time connected new database server, but decided we don't need it anymore, thus now under servers (beside sharepoint) we have two database servers:

Server1

Server2

What I would like to do is delete Server2 because it is throwing a lot of errors in SharePoint configuration wizard when it comes to upgrading services and I have to do a lot of manual work to accomplish some tasks. Problem is if I just click "Remove Server" I get error:

An object in the SharePoint administrative framework, "SPDatabaseServiceInstance Name=sp", could not be deleted because other objects depend on it.  Update all of these dependents to point to null or different objects and retry this operation.  The dependent objects are as follows:
SPWebService

I believe major issue was that Sever2 was actually clone of Server1 so all databases, SQL instances are named the same, just server name is different. Do you know is there a way to delete this server from the farm? I have tried manually (not the best approach), went into SharePoint_Config database and in table dbo.Objects I found Id of that server but when I went to delete it said that ParentId is in use and it cannot be deleted and that ParentId is tied to bunch of records that should not be deleted. Is this possible without starting new SharePoint instance from scratch?

According https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/volume-licensing/2013/05/22/how-to-license-office-web-apps-server/

I can dowload OOS for free as valume user.

How far we can go with free license, before we have to buy software assurance for OOS 2016?

Thanks
