Hi,
I have recently updated the Office Web Apps Server to the June 2013 Cumulative Update (KB2817350) which was published with the new features that allow rendering of freeze pane, hide/un-hide the excel worksheet and row/columns, Header
Row Snapping, Sorting, Data Validation and Autocomplete. i have followed the TechNet article (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj966220.aspx)
to update the office web apps server. Current setup is a SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012 and Office Web Apps server. All server are installed on Windows server 2012.

Hi,
Sorry to inform you that these new features are specific to cloud Excel Web App in both SkyDrive and Office365. There is no update available for on-premise Excel Web Apps installed locally
yet. Thank you for your understanding.

  • Office web Apps server Lync 2013

    Hi All,
      I have logged onto my Volume licensing site and could not search Office Web Apps servers for download?? I wonder how do i download it?

    Hi channavera,
    Office Web Apps Server was removed from the Microsoft Download Center.  Now it only was available for
    download under Volume Licensing agreements.  For more information please read the FAQ below or visit the site Volume Licensing
    Service Center.
    FAQ
    Why is Web Apps Server being removed from the Microsoft Download Center?
    VLSC is best suited as the location from which to serve all customers according to their agreements with Microsoft.
    What about existing installations?  Do I need to re-license them?
    No.  Web Apps Server installations and/or downloads that occur before 11/24/14 will continue to be licensed for free viewing.
    Will there be an evaluation version for Developers and IT Pros?
    Evaluation availability will continue on MSDN for subscribers.  Additionally, Volume License agreements allow for product evaluation.

  • Load balancing and HA for office web apps server Lync 2013

    Hi,
        I have 12000 users, 3 FE servers in a pool, 2 edge server in a pool, HA required, IM/presence, A/V, WEb conferencing required. plan to have 2 office web apps server a farm with HA, below are my queries
    1.  which type of load balancing i need....DNS or HLB for office web app servers? if its HLB then is it mandatory?
    2. i have already 2 HLB for FE pool .. one for externa url , one for internal URL...can i use the same HLB for office web app servers ?
    3. one more question regarding EDGE pool load balancing, can i use the same HLB  in EDge pool also that i am using for FE pool?

    Hi,
    1.  which type of load balancing i need....DNS or HLB for office web app servers? if its HLB then is it mandatory?
    WebApps runs on https and you cannot load balance http traffic using DNS load balancing. you need to have a HLB.
    2. i have already 2 HLB for FE pool .. one for externa url , one for internal URL...can i use the same HLB for office web app servers ?
    you can use the same HLB for that
    3. one more question regarding EDGE pool load balancing, can i use the same HLB  in EDge pool also that i am using for FE pool?
    for that one, you probably need a separate HLB.

  • Office web Apps server Lync 2013 Certificate

    Hi,
     I'll be installing Office web app (OWA) server with Lync 2013 std edition. External users access is disabled but federation is enabled, mean OWA will be exposed to internet as wabweb.contoso.com, the interal host name of OWA server is owa.contoso.local
    Does the certificate on the on OWA server need to have owa.contoso.local and certificate principle name and wabweb.contoso.com as SAN? or only owa.contoso.local is enough?

    It really depends on how you publish the server to the internet. You have some options. If you are publishing this via a reverse proxy, internally you would have a private cert with .local on it and the public name on the reverse proxy.  If you are
    punching a firewall hole/NAT directly to the server your best option is to use a public cert on that server directly.
    That all said, personally I like to make both the internal and external farm URL the same, and use a public cert on the server (if no reverse proxy is in play).  So I would actually enter the OWAS Farm as wabweb.contoso.com in topology builder, than
    when creating the farm via PowerShell make that both the internal and external URL and get a certificate with a single name on it of wabweb.contoso.com.

  • High availability for Lync 2013 persistent chat server and office web app server

    I have 1500 users, need HA in primary data center and DR also. looking for HA and DR solution for persistent chat server and office web app server.
    is below correct?
    1. 2 persistent chat server in a pool of primary data center and 1 in DR.  can this be reduced or any changes?
    2. 2 Office web app server in a pool of primary data center and 1 in DR.  can this be reduced or any changes?
     also do i need HLB for both roles?

    1) In Lync Server 2013, there are improvements in both high availability and disaster recovery:
    High availability improvements: SQL Server mirroring is used to provide high availability for the Persistent Chat Server content database and Persistent Chat compliance database within a data center (in-site).
    Disaster recovery improvements: Persistent Chat Server supports a stretched pool architecture that enables a single Persistent Chat Server pool to be stretched across two sites (that is, a single logical pool in the topology, with servers in the pool physically
    located across two sites). SQL Server Log Shipping is used for cross-site disaster recovery.
    For more information about high availability and disaster recovery, see
    Configuring Persistent Chat Server for High Availability and Disaster Recovery in the Deployment documentation.
    2) for HA & DR, you can 2 Office web app server in a pool of primary data center and 1 in DR. and You will need HLB for office web app servers

  • Office Web Apps server security question

    Hello,
    According to this technet article Microsoft appears to recommend against allowing both external and internal users access to your OWA server.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219435(v=office.15).aspx#viewers
    "Files that are intended to be viewed through a web browser by using Online Viewers must not require authentication. In other words, the files must be available publicly because Online Viewers can’t perform authentication when it is retrieving files.
    We strongly recommend that the Office Web Apps Server farm that you use for Online Viewers is only able to access either the intranet or the Internet, but not both. This is because Office Web Apps Server doesn’t differentiate between requests for intranet
    and Internet URLs. Somebody on the Internet could request an intranet URL, for example, causing a security leak if an internal document is viewed."
    Just trying to make sense of this.  I am building a new Lync 2013 environment and I definitely want my internal users to be able to leverage the OWA server.  So does that mean I should not publish that server to the internet?  And if I do
    not, does that mean my users will not be able to share a powerpoint presentation at all to external users?  If this is all true and I'm understanding this correctly, does this mean that most implementations choose one or the other? Or does Lync not
    use these "Online Viewers" so I can just disable them and users will still be able to share powerpoint presentations with external users?
    Thanks for any help you can provide for this confusion.

    No, you should publish to both internal and Internet on the same server, it's just how it's done with Lync.  You can't really have two with Lync for this purpose anyway.  Users will upload PowerPoint presentations to it when it's time to share,
    no editing is possible, and the risk is generally minimal.  You can shorten the cache time to help if you're concerned.
    Regardless, from the article:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219442(v=office.15).aspx setting OpenFromUrlEnabled "Turns on or off the ability to use Online Viewers to view Officefiles from a URL or UNC path.".  This is set to false and turned off by default.

  • Using Office Web Apps Server with SharePoint Foundation 2013

    I want to know whether I can configure Office Web Apps server to edit Excel documents on a SharePoint Foundation 2013 site.
    I came across a TechNet article that states that "When used together with SharePoint Server 2013, Office Web Apps Server provides updated versions of Word Web App, Excel Web App, PowerPoint Web App, and OneNote Web App".
    However, later in the same article, it states "If your organization licenses Office 2013 through a Volume Licensing program, you can enable Office Web Apps editing for SharePoint 2013 on-premises" (without mentioning Foundation or Server).

    Hi Lemesnil,
    The Office Web App server should support the Edit licenses for SharePoin Foundation 2013, Office Web App is free to
    download, you can also try installing and configuring in a test environment, see more from the below article applied to SharePoint Foundation 2013.

  • Will Office Web Apps Server 2013 work with SharePoint 2013 sites hosted in SP2010 compatibility mode?

    We are planning a upgrade of a SP2010 farm to 2013. There has been a bit of customization so we wish to run the old sites on the new SP2013 platform in SP2010 compatibility mode.
    So my question is will Office Web Apps Server 2013 work with the old sites hosted in compatibility mode?
    I found a similar query from March 2014 found here 
    http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/93101/office-web-apps-2010-running-on-sharepoint-2013-for-compatibility-mode-sites/116281#116281 
    Has there been an update released to resolve this
    Cheers D

    Hi  ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you need to know whether Office Web Apps 2013 is working with SharePoint 2013 sites which is in SharePoint 2010 compatibility mode.
    For my test, Office Web Apps 2013 with SharePoint 2013 sites which is in SharePoint 2010 compatibility mode is working fine.

  • Office Web Apps Server 2013 - No download Volume Licensing Service Center

    I´m looking for a office web apps server 2013 (OWS) download.
    In the following blog Microsoft is announcing that the OWS is moving from the Download Center to the Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC).
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/office_sustained_engineering/archive/2014/10/22/web-apps-server-removal-from-download-center.aspx
    So far so good
    But in my VLSC are only Updates and Service Packs for the OWS. But no download for the OWS!
    Is this only my problem? Any ideas to solve this problem?

    Hi,
    You can contact the Volume Licensing Service Center to get the answer to this case.
    Refer to this link below, and select your country to get the Support Center Contact Information:

    It's recommended to download and install
    Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

  • Office Web Apps Server 2013 patching and reported build numbers

    Sorry ahead of time for asking this on a Sharepoint forum, but I can't find OWAS forums anywhere.
    When applying patches to Office Web Apps Server the build version as reported by Control Panel | Program and Features does not change.  RTM build number is 15.0.4420.1017.  KB2760445 moves version to 15.0.4481.1005.  You can install it but
    the version/build number as reported by control panel will not change.  I can't find information on build versions on MS website.  I am using Roger Haueter blog
    here to help me with that.  I tries manually downloading updates and applying them as well as relying on WSUS and MS Update.  Results are the same.  You can see the updates under "installed updates". 
    Please, share you knowledge.

    This is normal. See these sites for how to identify the build number of the farm:

  • Installation - Office Web Apps Server on SharePoint 2013 Foundation - Download missing

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to download Office Web Apps Server.
    As of November 24th, the download was relocated on the Volume Licencing Center (as per this
    link ).
    Connected to VLCS, I'm trying to find the download from the tree / using filter..... I'm not finding anything.
    Was the product renamed / not available at this time ?
    Thx

    Are you aware of the type of subscription needed to download it?
    The client I work for is a government department....  I think they have quite a big subscription!
    Thx.
    Update
    I just found a great link to the list of products available thru the Volume Licensing Program
    (http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/products/products.aspx#tab=2).
    Office Web Apps Server requires an Office 2013 Licence.... We are checking this requirement right now...

  • Office Web App Server 2013: cannot edit word document with own WOPI Server

    Hi all,
    I tried to build our own WOPI Server to connect to Office Web App Server 2013 SP1. Viewing documents
    in IE was possible quite easy to achieve. Now it comes to editing.
    When I try to edit a document, I got a german message “Sie verfügen leider nicht über die Berechtigung zum Bearbeiten dieses Dokuments“.
    This means something like „Sorry, you do not have any permission to modify this document”.
    I enabled editing on the OWAS-Server while setup procedure
    (Until now, I only have an InternalUrl but no ExternalUrl.)
    PS C:\ > New-OfficeWebAppsFarm –InternalUrl “https://win-owas...” 
    –CertificateName "win-owas…" –EditingEnabled
    ULS log shows
    BaseDocument says editing is not supported [WebEditingEnabled: True] [SupportsEditing: True] [PinnedUsersRights: Read] 
    So far, I implemented these three REST service methods:
    [OperationContract]
    [WebInvoke
    "GET":"api/wopi/files/{name}?access_token={access_token}"
    "GET":"api/wopi/files/{name}/contents?access_token={access_token}"
    "POST":"api/wopi/files/{name}/contents?access_token={access_token}"
    Office Web App Server was downloaded from “Microsoft Volume Licensing Center”. I installed latest updates from Microsoft.
    Did anybody succeed in writing to own WOPI an can give me some hints?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    The discovery xml contains many lines. The one for editing docx is:
    <action
    name="edit"
    urlsrc="https://win-owas.cado.camos.de/we/wordeditorframe.aspx?"<ui=UI_LLCC=""&><rs=DC_LLCC=""&><showpagestats=PERFSTATS=""&>"
    ext="docx" requires="locks,cobalt,update"/>
    I am calling it this way:
    <iframe
    src="https://win-owas.cado.camos.de/we/wordeditorframe.aspx?WOPISrc=http%3a%2f%2fpc-ms.cado.camos.de%3a8000%2fWOPI%2fapi%2Fwopi%2Ffiles%2FAbout_Keyboard_Input.docx&access_token=5268690b-19c6-496d-8ae6-b694f8e7bd0c"
    I’m not sure whether or not I implemented "locks,cobalt,update" correct, but I do not see any ‘edit-’network traffic from OWAS-Server to WOPI-Server. So I cannot debug anything. I will (re)check the articles you mentioned.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Office Web Apps server / Lync server 2013

    Hi I have installed a Lync 2013 Server and Office Web Apps Server. Configured Lync topology, Office Web Apps farm and certificates.
    However when i start the services i get this error message in the log saying Office Web Apps discovery failed.
    Event ID:      41033
    Description:
    Office Web Apps Server (WAC) discovery failed, PowerPoint content is disabled.
    Attempted Office Web Apps Server discovery Url:
    Received error message: Invalid Uri syntax for WAC configuration
    The number of retries: 1,
    Cause: Office Web Apps Server may be unavailable or network connectivity may have been compromised.
    Resolution:
    Check HTTPS connectivity from this box to the Office Web Apps Server deployment using the discovery Url.
    I can access the OWAS server Url from Lync Server
    Connecting to the HTTPS discovery URL is working fine, and brings up the XML-page (after i click "show all content").
    The two servers are located on the same internal network, DNS resolves fine both ways, and no firewall rules blocks any connections between the two. Can anyone please help me figure this out?
    Only identical problem found online is here (Invalid Uri syntax for WAC configuration):

    Hi,
    In addition, please make sure you have restarted front end and office web apps server after reissuing the certificate.
