SBS 2011 - Manage Service Applications not showing all services - I've done something stupid

June 9, 2013, 8:22 am

Hi,

I have SBS 2011, with SharePoint Foundation 2010 installed (all up to date)

I searched for other answers but I'm not sure I'm following what the right answer might be...

I'm sure that under Central Administration -> Manage Service Applications that I was seeing a much longer list.  I've done something in response to a Application event that has broken this (I turned on "Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Sandboxed Code Service").  Right now I see only these in the "Manage Service Applications" page:

- Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service Application

- Security Token Service Application

This list used to be much longer?

How do get the longer list back, am I somehow filtering?

Help really appreciated as this along with a bunch of other issues is driving me insane!

Thanks,

Document Parser corrupts DOCX files with Inking in them after DEC 2012 Cumulative Update

May 14, 2013, 6:18 pm

When a Word 2010 DOCX file, that contains inking annotations, is uploaded to a document library the ink is then no longer visible in the document, and it is unable to be edited and saved back to the library.

This issue DID NOT exist previous to the DEC 2012 Cumulative Update Version 14.0.6131.5003.

If the Parser is disabled using  ParserEnabled = $false, then the issue disappears.

It is obviously a bug relating to the Document Promotion/Demotion feature of SharePoint, and I believe it was introduced in the 14.0.6131.5003 version of the Office Document Parser (offparser.dll).

It does not seem to be a widely reported issue, but it is easy to replicate. On a vanilla install of SharePoint Server in a test environment, the CU produces the same issue.

I would appreciate any assistance by the Microsoft engineering team on this issue.

Other Information:

Version: SharePoint Server Standard 2010 SP1 with KB2596955 (DEC CU) applied.
Server: Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
Hardware: Virtual Hyper-V Environment
Office 2010 Professional Plus SP1

P.S. I have also managed to test the BETA of Service Pack 2 for both the Office Applications and SharePoint Server and the problem is still present in SP2.

I thought I could be clever and set up server name mapping but it only works up to the '?'

Anyone have any other ideas, the search result page only includes pages from this list.

I did think about using web.config redirect but wans't sure how it would handle the paramater.

New Web Application SP 2010 What Rights

Hi,

Do you need to be a member of the local server Administrators group on a SharePoint Server in order to create a new Web Application?  I thought you didn't but my recent testing indicates you do.  What I've tried,

- User is a member of the Farm Administrators Group within CA

- User has been granted Shell access to config and all content DBs

Still when I try to add a new web app through CA, the option is disabled and through Powershell the Command New-SPWebApplication gives "You must be a server administrator"

- I've tried to disable UAC, and also right click on CA and run as Administrator.

Still no luck.

As soon as I pop the admin account in to the local server administrators group, it works fine.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Alex

Hello,

  •   I have a List called News .
  •   Also I need to Archive for this News.
  • So I will design the list as following  :

            - I  create folders in the list for a year (ex : 2012 , 2013,......) .

            - Then I create sub folder for each year folder (ex: Jan , Feb , March , April,.......December ) .

           - So When I Create a News I add in a folder according the year  and month .

      is that a good practice or is  there another better solution ?

hi,

There are 3 webapplications in Sharepoint and for every site homepage all the users have the read only access 

i have added the NT Authority/Authenticated Users for all the 3 sites 

but i had a requirement in which i had to give just folder Permission to one of the users and that user should not view the homepage contents so what i did is i created a security group in Active Directory and added all the users to that group except the 1 user that i dont want to give him the homepage access 

i updated all the webparts of the homepage and added the security group in Target audience option of the webpart and every one can view the homepage except that one user

every thing was working fine

Adding a Server to the Farm - Cannot Connect to Configuration Database

June 11, 2013, 12:50 pm

I'm stumped and I've been reading blogs, technet and other SharePoint resources for several hours now. 

I am trying to add a server to our SharePoint farm which is currently a single server farm (it was set up as a farm, but with only one server). Here is the snippet from my log:

Failed to connect to the configuration database.
An exception of type System.ArgumentException was thrown.  Additional exception information: Error during decryption. System error code 0.
System.ArgumentException: Error during decryption. System error code 0.
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPCredentialManager.DecryptWithKey(Byte[] rgbEncryptedPassphrase, Byte[] rgbKey)
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPCredentialManager.DecryptWithMasterKey(Byte[] rgbEncryptedPassphrase, SPFarm farm)
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPEncryptedString.GetSecureStringValue(Byte[] rgbAlternateKey)
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPManagedAccount.Deploy(SPApplicationPool applicationPool)
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebServiceInstance.Provision()
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPFarm.Join()
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.PostSetupConfiguration.ConfigurationDatabaseTask.CreateOrConnectConfigDb()
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.PostSetupConfiguration.ConfigurationDatabaseTask.Run()
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.PostSetupConfiguration.TaskThread.ExecuteTask()

This is the error I am getting now, previously I was getting an similar error below:

Exception: System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: service
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPServiceInstance..ctor(String name, SPServer server, SPService service)
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPFarm.Join()
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.PostSetupConfiguration.ConfigurationDatabaseTask.CreateOrConnectConfigDb()
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.PostSetupConfiguration.ConfigurationDatabaseTask.Run()
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.PostSetupConfiguration.TaskThread.ExecuteTask()

I think I resolved this error by adding an alias in cliconfg. Our organization uses non-default sql ports, and the server that the farm was set up on is also the sql server so i don't think I had to specify the port in the connection. I created a simple alias to redirect the normal port to our port. And now that I've done that I am getting the error at the top. I can't seem to find much help on this specific error unless it was spitting out system error code 997(or something). 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am running the install as the Farm Account, which has sysadmin privileges on the sql server. I've confirmed that I can connect to the SQL server from the new server. I tried this on both our prod and dev farm and both farms are experiencing the same issue...

SharePoint Foundation 2013: RAM Allocation on VM

Hi, I hope this doesn't sound ignorant or stupid, but I had set up a virtual environment (Hyper-V on Windows 8 Professional) and I tried to allocate the required 8Gb RAM that Foundation needs, but the VM only allows about 3Gb. Is this right? Does anyone have experience with VM?

On a side note, I didn't realize that I had only allocated 512 Mb of RAM when I first set up SharePoint, but it installed albiet extremely slowly and only now have I realized my mistake. I've kicked it up to as high as it can be (3Gb) but..... what about the 8Gb?

Permissions - Creating User Profile Service Application

Hi,

I am following this article (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rcormier/archive/2012/05/10/how-to-create-a-sharepoint-user-profile-service-application-with-powershell.aspx) to create a User Profile Service application using PowerShell. The first thing I need is a User profile Synchronization account. 

This article (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh296982(v=office.14).aspx) describes the permissions this account requires on the AD. 

My question is - does the user Profile Synchronization account (the account which needs permissions on the AD side) have to be the Farm Account?

Limitation on Managed Accounts for a Farm

Hello Everyone,

My Organization has three small Sharepoint 2010 Farms (DEV, QA & PROD) with Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition(WFE) and SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise server(DB Server). However, we have only one Active Directory(AD) in our domain.

Also, we have a single server Sharepoint deployment as a POC environment. This POC environment is built up using a single service account that is my domain account and there are no managed accounts in it. User Profile Service Application uses the above AD for all user profiles including mysites.

Other three farms are built with least privilege service accounts: Setup(Admin), Farm and Sqladmin. All these farms have three service accounts in the AD such as Admin-D, Admin-Q & Admin and so on for all the service accounts except sqladmin. We also have dedicated managed account for each service application with three each.

Total goes to 12-15 service accounts for a single farm which takes to 35-45 for three farms on a single AD.

1) Can anyone please let me know one AD is fine for all these farms.
2) My main question is related to all these service accounts as our Security Administrator is not allowing so many accounts. So is there a way that we could minimize these accounts or can use one account for one set of service applications and another account for another set of service applications.

Thank You,
Nilesh

What is the best way to setup an environment where SharePt 2010 sends all traffic for Reporting services to a dedicated server while all other traffic is load balanced between WFE's and other App servers?

June 13, 2013, 9:37 am

We have a SharePoint 2010 environment consisting of (2) WFE's and (2) App servers and (1) Search/Index server.  We already have Reporting Services installed on 3 servers but notice only 2 are actually doing the work.  We are also running Performance Point, and Business Connectivity Services.  At the present time none of the Business features are running at optimal performance to support our company.  It seems only 2 of the servers are constantly using about 80% of available memory on 2 processes, "w3wp.exe" and "ReportingServicesService.exe".  The reports are often slow to render and at times they fail totally, then I have to stop and restart the Reporting Services.

I want to develop a better strategy to support our Reporting services.  I am looking for implement a design that will force all traffic to 1 or 2 dedicated servers that can handle all requests involving Reports, Performance Point and Business Connectivity Services.  I assume I can stand up a separate Web App, and utilize AAM to direct traffic if need be.

Can anyone lend me some advice?  Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated.

Issue in Using Content Type Hub

Hello All,

I have set up content type hub in sharepoint 2010 with Managed Metadata service application by following the below blogs:

http://www.sharepoint4developers.net/en-nz/post/sharepoint-2010-content-type-hub.aspx

http://www.wictorwilen.se/Post/Plan-your-SharePoint-2010-Content-Type-Hub-carefully.aspx

http://njbblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/sharepoint-40-content-type-hub.html

I have published the content types to the hub. I publish the the content type from hub to a different site collection i.e subscriber. But I get this error from ContentTypeSyncLog as

"Content type 'XYZ" cannot be published to this site because feature 'ABC' is not enabled."

The feature ABC is a solution which is programmed to provision the content types in any site collection. This feature is  deactived. But even then the content type hub publishing does not push the content  types onto the desired site collectrion.

This is a high priority task to be solved. Please anyone let me know thier ideas what could be wrong.

 

Thank you

All Users getting Access Denied when accessing an Extended Windows Claims WebApplication

June 13, 2013, 11:47 am

Hi

I have a Claims Based Web Application configured with 'Ping Identity' (SAML token provider) as the trusted Identity provider. I extended the web application and created a new IIS Site with Windows NTLM Claims authentication.

Here are my alternate access mappings.

Internal URLZonePublic URL for Zone
https://projects.company.comDefaulthttps://projects.company.com
http://projects.company.comDefaulthttps://projects.company.com
http://projectsntlm.company.comCustomhttp://testprojectsntlm.company.com


I configured the Object Cache Super User and Super Reader accounts with the SAML claims username format using Powershell. And then added these accounts to User Policy of the WebApplication only in Default Zone.

User Policy
Default       sp10_sreader                   i:07.t|ping|sp10_sreader            Full Read  
Default       sp10_suser                       i:07.t|ping|sp10_suser              Full Control
(All zones)  Search Crawling Account  i:0#.w|company\_sys_pcptsrch  Full Read

The Default Zone URL works fine.
But the Custom Zone URL is giving access denied for everyone including the Primary and Secondary SCAs

SiteCollection URL: https://projects.company.com
Primary SiteCollection Admin: i:0#.w|company\User1
Primary SiteCollection Admin: i:0#.w|company\User2

However Search, which is using the CustomZone URL as the content source, is successfully crawling all the content. FYI, I also tried adding Windows Claims IDs of User1 and User2 to WebApp User Policy and granted them full control.

With SAML token authentication, users are not being able to edit their SSRS Reports in Report Builder. It is not supported. Hence, we want to give the Custom Zone URL to them so they can use it when they need to edit SSRS reports.

Does any one know how to fix this?

Hello Everyone,

When I installed Sharepoint 2010 Enterprise with least privileges, I found that the setup user account gets below access after running configuration wizard:

Membership in the WSS_ADMIN_WPG Windows security group.

  • Membership in the IIS_WPG role.

    db_owner on the SharePoint Server 2010 server farm configuration database.

    db_owner on the SharePoint Server 2010 Central Administration content database.

    But, on technet article for this account http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263445(v=office.14).aspx#Section3 it also states that: If you run Stsadm commands that affect a database, this account must be a member of thedb_owner fixed database role for the database. However, I did not find db_owner roles on any of the content databases for this account. How, do we need to assign this role to this account on the content databases?
