OWA not working in some Sharepoint 2013 sites... but not all?

I have a SharePoint 2013 farm connected to Office Web Apps, with a number of sharepoint web applications(mostly legacy sites, created before my time here). I have created three new web apps and, when I try to preview documents using OWA (or, in fact, open
them or edit them in browser) I get an assortment of errors, from "Sorry, we couldn't open this presentation due to a problem" (PPTX) to "Sorry, there was a problem opening this document" (DOCX).
I can use OWA in the existing web applications - what have I not done properly with the new ones?!

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the OWA cannot work in newly created web applications in SharePoint 2013.
Did you configure the external access for the newly web applications and you opened the documents from external zone?
If yes, then the issue may be due to the WOPI zone for external zone was not configured.
I recommend to run the command below to see if the issue still occurs:
Remove-SPWOPIBinding –All:$true
New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName <WacServerName>
Get-SPWOPIZone
If you configure the external access for the web applications, then run the command below after running the command above:
Set-SPWOPIZone -zone "external-https" or Set-SPWOPIZone -zone "internal-http".
Best regards.
Thanks

Sharepoint Foundation - search working for some users (or computers), but not others

Hi all,
We have doozy of a search problem with SharePoint Foundation 2010 that I'm hoping someone can help with.
We have an application that is listening on port 14197 and search is working just fine, but only for one or two users.
If I do a search while logged in using the account we set the application up with then the search works fine and it returns records as expected.
If I use a different account - one that has full control over the app, then the exact same search fails with the following message:
We did not find any results for 06BSL.
Suggestions:
Ensure words are spelled correctly.
Try using synonyms or related searches.
Try broadening your search by searching from a different site.
Additional resources:
Get additional search tips by visiting Search Help
If you cannot find a page that you know exists, contact your administrator.
We've done everything we can think of, including several procedures to create new search accounts, replace databases, etc.
Nothing has helped and all of the info we can find online is in relation to getting search working when it doesn't work at all. In our case it is working, but only for some users. We thought it might have been a permissions issue, but not matter
what permissions we seem to give to test accounts they still don't work. We've set up a test account, for example, that is a member of the 'application owners' group, but cannot produce any search results with it.
The SharePoint Foundation server is running on Windows 2008 Server Foundation, with a separate SBS 2003 DC.
Any help most appreciated.

Hi Alex, thanks for your response and apologies about the late reply - didn't realise someone had responded until now!
Agreed that this looks like a permissions issue, but we're stumped as to what it could be. The 'test' account displays this problem - if we try and search on 06BSL
we get no results, but it does appear that this account has full control over this document (see below).
Note that the 'Manage Permissions' page presents a comment 'This list item inherits permissions from its parent. (Customer QA & Product Management)' which is what we're
expecting.
The indexing schedule is set to 5 minutes.
Appreciate your help with this, as we've spent a huge amount of time on this problem but don't seem to be any closer to a resolution.
Cheers,
Damian

Add new document link not working in upgraded sharepoint 2013?

Hello there,
Upgraded SharePoint team sites from 2010 to 2013. add new document link not working for shared document in upgraded sharepoint 2013?. it is specially not working on machine where Office web apps set up with this sharePoint server and it
is working fine with environment Office web apps not configured with Sharepoint.
Looking resoluion /suggestion, thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sushil

Hi Sushil,
According to your description, my understanding is that the add new document link was not working on machine where Office web apps set up with this SharePoint server after you upgraded SharePoint team sites
from 2010 to 2013.
For your issue, it can be caused by integrating Office Web Apps with upgraded SharePoint Site.
Firstly please make sure claims-based authentication is used by the SharePoint web application that is used to create the new document. Only web applications that use claims-based authentication can open
files in Office Web Apps. To determine the authentication provider for a web application, follow these steps:
1.In SharePoint 2013 Central Administration, click Manage web applications.
2.Select the web application that you want to check, and click Authentication Providers on the ribbon.
The authentication provider must be displayed as Claims Based Authentication for Office Web Apps to work correctly with the web application. To resolve this issue, you can delete the web application and recreate
it using claims-based authentication, or you can change the authentication method of the web application.
Secondly, make sure the WOPI zones match on the SharePoint 2013 and the Office Web Apps Server farm.
To do this, run the following command on the SharePoint Server:
Get-SPWopiZone
The result will be one of the following:.
internal-https
internal-http
external-https
external-http
Next, run the following command on the SharePoint Server.
Get-SPWOPIBinding
In the output, look for WopiZone: zone. If the results from Get-SPWopiZone don’t match the zone that is returned by Get-SPWOPIBinding, run the Set-SPWOPIZone -Zone cmdlet on the SharePoint Server to change
the WOPI zone to match the result from Get-SPWOPIBinding.
If not work, you can try to disconnect SharePoint 2013 from Office Web Apps Server and re-configure Office Web Apps for SharePoint 2013.

Filter base on Person or Group column does not work correctly in sharepoint 2013

I have a list that contain "Person or Group"column that set "Allow Multiple Selections" to yes.
In sharepoint 2010 I create view and filter it base on this person or group column equal to [Me]. And it's work correctly.
Now in sharepoint 2013 when I filter view, base on this person or group column equal to [Me], it does not show me any items, although list has data that person or group column set to me.
What's wrong?
Thanks.

If you want to filter the list view when current user is in the group, then I recommend to use theMembership comparator in the
query and add it to the view page in SharePoint Designer:
<Where><Or><Membership Type="CurrentUserGroups"><FieldRef Name="AssignedTo"/></Membership><Eq><FieldRef Name="AssignedTo"/><Value Type="Integer"><UserID Type="Integer"/></Value></Eq></Or></Where>

E-print works on some e-mail address, but not others?

HP Officejet Pro8600
Windows 7 Ultimate
error: "550 5.7.1 Command rejected"
I am able to send and print e-mail print jobs from @hotmail.com and @live.com addresses, but not from @q.com (a Century Link primary domain for customers, not a corporate account). I have set up "Anyone can send ePrint jobs to this printer." These failed print jobs never appear in the ePrint Center listing of Recent Print Jobs. I have tried sending via Outlook 2010 and via the Century Link web based e-mail application -- they both return to me as bounced messages. What's going on here?
This question was solved.

There are certain email clients that are supported for ePrint. I included a screenshot of supported clients. Also, I am adding a link for helpful information about ePrint.

WMI filter working for some Windows 7 machines but not for others

I'm trying to use this WMI filter for our Windows 7 64bit machines:
select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where (Caption like "Microsoft Windows 7%") or (Version like "6.1%" and ProductType = "1" and OSArchitecture = "64 ビット") or (OSArchitecture like "64%" and ProductType =
"1")
The reason there are three clauses is that we have machines in United States, Japan, and France. The first clause works for the United States, the second clause works for Japan, and the third clause SHOULD work for France, but doesn't.
I've run the query manually on the French machine using WMITest.exe (http://www.paessler.com/tools/wmitester) and it works. However, when I run a gpresult /r it shows that the GPO is denied
due to the WMI filter.
Why is this happening for French computers only?

..the third clause SHOULD work for France, but doesn't.

due to the WMI filter.
Why is this happening for French computers only?
just a thought - is it due to localisation of the OS (fr-FR), and maybe the WMITest.exe is not honouring that?
maybe, on a French OS, open CMD, run wmic os get osarchitecture ??
get somebody to give you a screengrab of that - just in case there's something funky going on.
(I don't work with multiple languages, so am not sure if localisation can cause your issue, but from your Japan example it looks like it might do so)

I'm interested in getting the local help to work while this is offline, I saw the following in an article, did you do this and it still does not work for you?
"However the help won’t show up in

Version to15 to
make it work."

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.

MySite NewsFeed is not showing the feeds from a SharePoint 2013 site which followed programmatically

Hi Experts,
I am facing an issue with following SharePoint 2013 site programmatically. When i was followed a site programmatically, unable to see the posts from followed site in MySite NewsFeed. But i can able to see the followed site in the list of sites i am following.
If i did the same manually by clicking on Follow link on right top of the site, i can able to see the posts from the followed site in MySite NewsFeed.
Here is my code. I am doing this activity in an event receiver, while adding an user to the site.
SPSocialFollowingManager manager = new SPSocialFollowingManager(profile);
SPSocialActorInfo actorInfo = new SPSocialActorInfo();
actorInfo.ContentUri = new Uri(properties.Web.Url);
actorInfo.AccountName = targetUser.LoginName;
actorInfo.ActorType = SPSocialActorType.Site;
manager.Follow(actorInfo);
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to follow site programmatically in SharePoint 2013.
I suggest you debug the code step by step to check whether the variable is valid.
You can also create a simple console application to test whether it works.
Here is a code snippet for your reference:
SPServiceContext serverContext = SPServiceContext.GetContext(web.Site);
UserProfileManager profileManager = new UserProfileManager(serverContext);
string userString = user.LoginName.ToString();
UserProfile userProfile = profileManager.GetUserProfile(userString);
if (userProfile != null)
SPSocialFollowingManager manager = new
SPSocialFollowingManager(userProfile);
SPSocialActorInfo actorInfo = new SPSocialActorInfo();
actorInfo.ContentUri = new Uri(web.Url);
actorInfo.AccountName = user.LoginName;
actorInfo.ActorType = SPSocialActorType.Site;
manager.Follow(actorInfo);

SharePoint 2013 site coll's created. Home page not displaying for any site collection in farm

SharePoint 2013 site coll's created. Home page not displaying. Same issue for all site coll's in the farm. Done the basic checks. Any Ideas?

Hi lakshita,
Would you please check whether you can go to the page:
http://siteurl/_layouts/settings.aspx page:
http://siteurl/default.aspx page? If so, go to Site Features in site settings page, reactivate the Wiki Page home page feature, check the result.
If not, please check whether there is related information in ULS log and event viewer log file? Does the page shows page not found or other errors? Check whether the site can be opened in other machine?

SITE_2 The application '/' does not exist IIS error - SharePoint 2013

During stopping the service Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application on an App server I haven't been able to get it started. When I try to stop it it gets stucked in
STOPPING and when I try to start it gets stuck in STARTING.
The problem now is some web applications work and some don't. But having a look at the app server I can see a web site stopped with the name SITE_19818... with no binding at all.
On the web server I can see all web sites with bindings including the ones that are not loading/working.
What do I need to:
1) get the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application to start on both app and web server now its stuck STARTING :)
** I have ran all the powershell stopServerinstance and start commands with no luck.
I keep getting the error the job timer is already being created etc..
2) re- bind the websites back on the web server so I can at least get the web sites working
Thanks in Advance

Hi Patrick,
According to your description, my understanding is that "Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application" service got sutck in Starting.
Please go to the stsadm directory i.e. cd \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\BIN, then type
stsadm -o provisionservice -action start -servicetype spwebservice. After that, restart IIS.
