I am working in a one box configuration server farm using Windows Server, SQL Server SP1 2012 and SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Ed. I installed in Portuguese or in US-English version for 4 times due some issues I found out. Some of them are described mainly in Project Server forums.
Now the issue is in the SharePoint Central Administration. I detected that after I ran the Farm Configuration Wizard and someti-me in between changing some Server accounts to avoid error messages in the Monitoring services and Project Server installation some options of the SharePoint Central Administration disappears or were grayed out consistently in all of my configuration attempts.
The main points that I detected are:
1. The option "Manage Services in the Server" disappears in the System Settings section:
2. The Farm Configuration Wizard option disappeared.
3. In the "Manage service applications" page, the button "New" is disabled so I cannot activate a new service application.
I suspected that they were a problem of account I was using, so I tried to use the setup, farm admin, SharePoint App pool accounts without success.
As a penultimate option, I restarted the box. After that, I accessed by terminal services and the issue remained, but when I accessed from a workstation, all missing and disabled accounts came back, using the same account (which was the farm admin account) for both accesses.
What did I go wrong? Help are welcome.
Thank you.
