Databases running in compatibility range, upgrade recommended. Sharepoint 2010 SP2 after installing December 2013 CU

I just installed December 2013 CU for Sharepoint 2010 with SP2. I runned the Product Configuration Wizards a couple of time and exexute "PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures".
But still I'm left with one database that is out of date.
The following databases have versions that are older than the current SharePoint software, but are within the backwards compatible range:
Search_Services_Application_DB_0256be25a85b4c3081387181e4a8c6c7.
Do you know what can I try next to fix this?
Thanks!

Hi Steve,
In the Upgrade log what is the error when PSconfig attempts the Upgrade, I am assuming it completes with a warning?
Cheers,
-Ivan

Sharepoint Foundation 2013 - Databases running in compatibility range, upgrade recommended

I have an issue with Search within my SharePoint Foundation 2013 Farm. This is a new Farm, so I can remove the search service application and re-create if this is a way that can clear the 2 issues I am experiencing.
Issue:
My search service application seems to be working fine as I am able to crawl content and retrieve results, however the DB's associted with this search service application are reported with the following warning within the SharePoint Health Analyzer. I have
been unable to run the Upgrade-SPContentDatabase command against these databases as I get a message saying that the content database could not be found:
Title
Databases running in compatibility range, upgrade recommended.
Severity
2 - Warning
Category
Configuration
Explanation
The following databases have versions that are older than the current SharePoint software, but are within the backwards compatible range:
Search_Service_Application_AnalyticsReportingStoreDB_a3c64b2f3b9b4a5d83383ec0b1ecfcf4,
Search_Service_Application_CrawlStoreDB_ffb8d716450242cc849a7f44f521bfc9,

Search_Service_Application_LinksStoreDB_75efb2f689cf49f19c98a5a8155e47b7.
Remedy
To achieve optimal results from these databases, use Upgrade-SPContentDatabase to upgrade Content databases, or psconfig.exe to upgrade other databases. For more information about this rule, see "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=142697".

Install Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable after install Office 2013

Hello, everyone.
I have application, that works fine with Microsoft Office 2010. This application uses .mdb format for databases.
When Microsoft Office 2013 was installed, apps began works incorrect. Can I install Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable
on a workstation with Office 2013 already installed?

Hi,
Based on my tested, I could install Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable with
Office 2013 side by side successful. ( Note: Do not mix 32bit and 64bit version )
As far as I know, MDB format is used for Access 2003, there might be some compatibility issues when opening with Office 2013. I recommend you convert it to ACCDB format to test.

SharePoint 2010 SP2 hosted on Windows 2012 R2 NOT discovered by SCOM 2012 R2 + 2 SP MP's

What is the process to get SharePoint 2010 Management Packs loaded in System Center 2012 R2 to discover/monitor SharePoint 2010 SP2 (14.0.7121.5000) loaded on Windows 2012 R2?
View of installed system:

Further, if the xml push does have the command get-farm instead of get-spfarm, that could be the issue. i.e.

Peter,
I recommend to remove the Windows 2012 R2 server out of the farm and redeploy on W2008 R2.
This issue does not have an easy fix.
Summarizing, this appears to be the issue:
1. Windows Management Framework 3.0 is integrated with Windows 2012 R2, which installs .NET 4 and Powershell 4.0. Not uninstallable.
2. The Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell is not supported with Powershell 4.0.
3. The SCOM SP2010 MP puts a package on the defined farm server and when the agent launches the package, it calls Powershell (v4 in theis case) and errors out. The target W2012 server will have an Error 0 in the Operations Manager Event log. See below.
Options:
1. Work around maybe - Develop method for manual discovery (I'm working on that now).
2. Rebuild SP2010 farm on Windows 2008 R2
3. System Center Team - Write a new MP to down version Powershell (Powershell.exe -Version 2)
4. Powershell Team - Write a SharePoint Snapin for Powershell 4

Browser based InfoPath Forms in SharePoint 2010 performance has slowed down after SharePoint 2010 SP2

hi All,
Our Browser based Infopath forms have slowed down drastically after applying SharePoint 2010 SP2. Prior to this, we had SharePoint 2010 SP1 and the timings was around 10 seconds (single user) for the entire infopath form to be displayed which has 10-12
views and 5 data connections and 15 business rules and around 100 fields.
But now after applying sharepoint 2010 sp2, the performance has slowed down and it now takes for a single user around 50 seconds.
Refer to the link below, which we followed by applying the patch as well, but the performance is still the same very slow.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/0b673324-01c4-49f7-86cb-647aa43fefd6/infopath-browser-forms-extremely-slow-after-service-pack-2-upgrade?forum=sharepointadminprevious
We have raised a ticket with Microsoft, but there is no concrete resolution as to what component of the infopath has made the form rendering and display slow.
Can someone point me to the right resource or knowledge base where i can do a kind of debug, which tells me exactly which infopath dlls are the issue or which part of my form is taking more time. I am using AOLPageTest and Fiddler, but they do not give me
any details where exactly is the bottleneck.
Any tools that give me the details of the bottleneck.
Thanks and appreciate your help in this.
Regards
Ram
Thanks Ram

hi inderjeet,
The application has gone live and its on production, the same application is on pre-prod and UAT, system testing and integration environments.
The infopath form used to work very well on all these environments before we installed sharepoint 2010 sp2. but the moment we installed sharepoint 2010 sp2, the infopath forms have slowed down.
Microsoft has acknowledged that there is an issued with sharepoint 2010 sp2 and infopath form performance, but they are not able to provide an appropriate fix on this.
We have another environment where there is no sharepoint 2010 sp2 applied only sp1 is applied and the infopath form works very well within fraction of seconds.
So your point no. 1 and 2 and 3. does not reveal anything. Fiddler does not give any detailed component by component breakup where the time is taking more.
The form used to work very well before we applied sp2.
I want to know a tool that gives me exactly component by component grant chart kind of breakup of time taken when the infopath url is requested on the browser.
Thanks

InfoPath 2013 customized forms no longer working after linking Sharepoint 2010 list to MS Access 2013 database

Hello,
I am having trouble with my infopath form now that I have linked my Sharepoint list to an Access database.
Background: I created a simple SharePoint list and a few workflows to have users submit requests for changes to my organization's EMR system and have those requests be approved by the appropriate manager/department. I used
InfoPath to customize my form so that it would hide/show different portions depending on what the user selected. The form has 3 views: NewItem, EditItem, ViewItem.
Issue: The form and workflows were working great until I linked my SharePoint list to an access database so that I could run queries and reports using that information. Now when I click "Add New Item" on my Sharepoint site,
the correct form opens but the fields do not allow me to input any data and some of the formatting for the form has changed (ie: the text boxe fields are no longer centered. I opened the form in InfoPath and it displays perfectly fine in there but
not once it's published to the site) .
The only way that I've been able to input new data is using Datasheet view in SharePoint.
Is there a way to fix this issue? I really need to be able to have the customized forms for users to fill out the information since most users are not familiar enough with SharePoint to expect them to be able to use Datasheet view to submit their requests.
Again, I'm using InfoPath 2013, Access 2013 & SharePoint Server 2010
If the issue cannot be fixed, how can I disconnect or unlink my SharePoint list from the Access database because when I cliecked on "delete list" from inside Access, a warning popped up stating that it will also delete the list off of SharePoint
as well. If I can get the list back to the state it was in before linking to Access then I'll be happy enough to export it excel and then importh the excel file to Access as a work around for reporting purposes since I don't have to run the reports that
often.
Any insight would be very helpful!!

Hi Bostic,
I tested the same scenario per your post in my environment, however the InfoPath form was not affected if I used the list as external data in Access database.
The issue may be due to the browser you used.
I recommend to verify the things below:
Change another browser to see how it works.
Add the site to the trusted zone and add to compatibility settings in Internet Explorer.
Test with a new list to narrow down the issue scope.
As a workaround, you can save the list as a template including content, and then create a new list based on this template.

I think its related to page layouts URL it will reference to old URL because you are using database attach and detach methods.
You will need to update the current page layout (Check below PS script)

Issues with migrated SHarePoint 2010 sites after Mount-SPContentDatabase command and claims powershell upodate

Hi,
I am getting issues when trying to access these new SharePoint 2010 Mode Web Applications I have migrated to SharePoint 2013. A record pointing to WFE Cluster OK. Problem is sometimes I get a blank page, sometimes I get prompted with a password, sometimes
I get the site, but style is poor and sometimes I get a page that looks fine (it always takes a long time - there are ping issues). I have had a quick look around and noticed that this can be the Request Management Service. I have it running on all 3 WFE along
with Distributed Cache. This is really worrying and it is having a big impact on me progressing.
Any ideas. Reluctant to run some powershell commands some people have recommended as they could cock things right up.
Thanks.
John

Hi John,
if you have load balancer you can stop Request Management.
But my advice that you need to check the ULS logs, try to set the diagnostic logging to verbose and catch the errors in the logs and send them.
