Solutions - Seeking input for web front end to storage

I am being bound by business process and privacy issues, and we want to keep our storage in house.
At the same time, all our users see and love drop box and google drive. So how can we, in our own private cloud, setup a web front end to our exisitng storage. Is there some MS product that will already do this? Points to consider,
will it integrate with DFS? SSL? Still be able to map drives directly from in office locations. Encryption (far back seat) options would be awesome. An MS product would be prefered, but are there other solutions??
Am I over thinking this? can I just setup a web server, and maybe code something in house?

Hi,
If you need an application works like Google drive or Dropbox, it seems that OneDrive for Business and/or SharePoint online could help:
OneDrive for Business

OneDrive for Business seems more close to your requirement if you just need a place for storing data on private cloud.
SharePoint Online
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/sharepoint-online-online-collaboration-software-FX103789366.aspx
If you need additional functions, SharePoint Online as well as Office 365 may help.

High availability for Web front END server

Dear All
I am unable to understand the high availability model for Web front end server
I am currently working on MOSS 2007/IIS 7 but I think for all versions it will remain the same
I am now running single WFE server and my installation mode allow for adding extra servers to the Farm
now when I add Extra server what will happen next ? should I add extra web application and site collections ? will load balancing include lists, library items and workflows
how this stuff will be stored on one database
it's too vague to me so extra explanation will be appreciated
Regards

To get a fault tolerant environment you need to do two things.
1) Add a second server that is running the the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Service. That's the service that responds to calls for the web site making the server a WFE.
2) Implement some form of load balancing to distribute HTTP requests for SharePoint web sites to the two servers. This can be done with something as simple as Windows Network Load Balancing or with dedicated hardware like an F5 Load balancer.
Once you've added a load balancer and a second server you don't need to do anything else.

Business One and Open Source Web Front-Ends, PHP etc.

Hi there,
I am a complete newbie to all things SAP, so please excuse my ignorance.
I am trying to implement a solution for SAP Business One, including a web front-end for queries and information. The SAP backend is running on a SQL Server, Windows 2000.
The catch is, I won't be running the web front-end off a Windows server. I need to find a solution for an Apache server, running (probably) PHP but could be JSP or any other scripting language to access SAP - but it will be running on a separate server, non-windows.
I have been given examples of people getting access to the DI Server using PHP, but it all involves a call to a COM() function that won't run from anything except a Windows server.
How can I acheive the same result running a PHP page from an OpenBSD or Linux / Apache server? Is the DI Server the right thing to be looking at, or am I going in completely the wrong direction?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick.

post your question in SAP Business One SDK for better response.

Problem with CRM 2011 web front end cluster

Hi.
We have a CRM 2011 (RU17) environment with a SQL DB server and 2 web front end CRM server in a cluster.
Since few days (about 10) it seems that one of the 2 nodes is not working, and since yesterday many users report access problems when calling the application by cluster name - as usual since we deployed CRM 1 year ago.
I tried myself, and I can run the application by cluster name without problems. If it try the separate notes addresses, one of them works, the other doesn't.
I checked the 2 web front end servers, and are (or seem) both properly configured, with all patches installed.
Following the information I got from Event viewer. Any suggestion welcomed!
Many thanks and Best regards
On the 'faulty' server I have different errors at event viewer level:

Apologize for not having indicated here the resolotion I got thanks to MS support...
We enabled the trace and we got
a http error page stating maxQueryStringLength was insufficient. We changed the maxQueryStringLength and QueryString values in the CRM web.config value to 10240.
We also noticed an error related to the DC being unavailable. We checked in the CRM registry hive and see in the non-working server you had a PreferredDc key pointing to “AMDNAD”. On pinging
AMDNAD we see it is not reachable. We removed the PreferredDc key and after iisreset we can navigate to crm.

Deploy web application to multiple web front end servers

Hi,
I have a SharePoint farm that include 8 web front end servers and 2 application servers. I have created web application from central administration and during creation I added the public URL to refer to one of the web front end servers.
Now I want to be able to access the same web application from the other web front end servers what shall be done. I have tried to add alternate access mapping but i found that i only have 5 alternatives (Default, Intranet, Extranet,Internet and Custom) while
I need to access it from 8 different sites with the IP or name.
Can anyone tell me what is the best practice for that.
I appreciate the quick response.
Regards,

How to Get the Debugger Screen in WEB Front end of SRM

Hi Gurus,
I have couple of questions for SRM.
1. How to Get the Debugger Screen in WEB Front end of SRM so i can debug the application which is running in EBP system??
2. How to set the flag for external debugging (HTTP)??
3. Using SICF how to set the ITS services ( Like BBPSC01 )for internal ITS so as soon as i place the order it should stop at the break point which i have set in the application.
Thanks.
Regards,
Manoj Tiwari

Setting up Debugging for Integrated ITS
Tcode SICF.
Select service (e.g. default_hostàbcàguiàsapàitsàbbpsc01).
Change service settings and insert parameter ~GENERATEDYNDPRO=1.
Find program to debug. E.g. SE93. Enter bbpsc01 à Display and get Program field (SAPLBBP_SC_UI_ITS)
Execute SE38 and enter program name.
Turn HTTP Debugging ON. UtilitiesàSettingsàDebugging. Click Actv and username.
Add HTTP Breakpoint. Display source code and select Utilitiesàbreakpointsàset.
On External Debugging select HTTP Breakpoint.
Remember to remove breakpoints, deactivate debugging and remove parameter GENERATEDYNPRO.
Can run program RSBREAKPOINTS to find which programs you have breakpoints set in.
Have fun with EBP
If you have any more questions i would be happy to help you. Send me mail on [email protected]

The Document Conversions Launcher Service status on a SharePoint Server 2013 Web front-end server displays "Starting" but does not start or stop

I have this strange error showing up from my second Web Front End Server, "The Document Conversions Load Balancer service is stuck in starting, The status showing up "Error Starting". When I lunch the start, it runs then went back to
the same status "Error Starting" for the "Document Conversions Load Balancer Service". How can I get of rid this issue?

Hi Mannyabdon,
Based on your description, I recommend to check the things below:
1. Run the PowerShell command below to check the status of the Secure Store Service:
Get-SPServiceInstance |Where {$_.typename -like "Document Conversions Load Balancer Service"}
If it is not showing online, please stop the service first and then start it to see if the issue still occurs (the
<ServiceGUID> can be obtained obtained from the command above).
Stop the service:
Stop-SPServiceInstance -Identity <ServiceGUID>
Start the service:
Start-SPServiceInstance -Identity <ServiceGUID>
2. Check the ULS log for detailed error message.
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS.
Thanks,
Victoria

How to track the APEX Web front-end Users ?

Hi All,
I would like to track who uses my Web front-end and hence, would like capture a list of all NT logins when they login for the first time. I would also like to capture the date they last logged in.
Can I keep this record somewhere in the background where it can be accessed by key people.
Please suggest the way out for this?
Thanks,
Himanshu Tiwari

Hi,
Yes you could quite easily incorporate this as part of your own custom Authentication routine, you can read more about writing your own authentication routine here -

How do web front ends find the configuration database (moving whole farm to new AD forest)

We are exploring, as a possible course of action, moving our SharePoint 2007 medium farm to a different Active Directory forest (2008). There is a two way transitive trust between the source and target domains.
I have established that with such a trust it's possible to add content databases on a SQL instance in another forest, so moving content is not a big issue; we'd stand up new instances and move them: the user accounts are almost all in the target domain anyway.
However, we have a good deal of customization, including a third-party application that no longer has any support and has historically been appallingly difficult to upgrade/install fresh.
How do web front end servers find the SQL instance containing the configuration database? If the farm credentials had been previously changed to an account in the target domain, all services stopped and the configuration database moved to a new instance
with a DNS alias, would the database appear to be in the same location when SQL and SharePoint services were started on (logically) moved web front ends?

Here is more or less the high-level process for SharePoint 2007:
Mid- to high-level steps.
0. Full farm backup
1. Move users to new domain (in AD). Use stsadm -o migrateuser to migrate the old domain accounts to the new ones in SharePoint
2. Move service accounts to new domain, or create new service accounts
3. Update the farm to use the service accounts in the new domain
stsadm -o updatefarmcredentials (service accounts)
stsadm -o spsearch -farmserviceaccount
stsadm -o spsearch -farmcontentaccessaccount
stsadm -o editssp -ssplogin (for each ssp)
stsadm -o osearch -farmserviceaccount
SSO and any other remaining service accounts (CA -> Ops -> Service Accounts)
Default content access account (SSP -> Search Settings -> Default content access account)
Customizations (if there are service accounts associated with these)
3.5 Manual steps
Application pool accounts
Update permissions for SQL Logins to make sure the new accounts match the permissions for the old accounts
Add the appropriate new accounts to the DCOM IIS WAMREG Admin Service
4. Update the SQL Server service accounts. If SQL Server is shared with other applications you'll want to update the SQL Logins for these other applications as necessary and the SQL Server service accounts (DB Engine, DB Agent, Reporting Services, etc.). Might
not be necessary if this has already been done or if the SQL server is not changing domains.
5. Shut down all services on all servers in the farm (this includes SQL if you are moving to the new domain).
6. Change domain membership of all farm servers, reboot or perhaps shutdown and bring back up in the following order:
1. SQL. Verify SQL Server is running and accessible. Check event logs. Resolve any issues.
2. Central Admin server. Verify CA is accessible, check event logs. Web apps and some services may not be available if they are on servers that are currently turned off. Don't worry about these (yet).
3. Application servers, search servers, index, query, other. It's likely some or all of the WFEs will go on at this step. Verify services are accessible as expected. Check event logs. Resolve issues.
4. Any remaining WFEs. Wash, rinse, repeat.
7. Assuming everything is running as expected, users can access the sites, the sky did not fall, etc. take a full farm backup.
Hey look, here are some low-level steps too.
# updates the account used to run the CA app pool and the timer service
# must be run on the server that hosts CA
stsadm -o updatefarmcredentials -identitytype configurableid -userlogin NEWDOMAIN\farm_service_account -password Password123
# spsearch
stsadm -o spsearch -farmserviceaccount NEWDOMAIN\search_service_account -farmservicepassword Password123 -farmcontentaccessaccount NEWDOMAIN\crawl_service_account -farmcontentaccesspassword Password123
# osearch
stsadm -o osearch -farmcontactemail [email protected] -farmserviceaccount NEWDOMAIN\search_service_account -farmservicepassword Password123
# ssp service accounts
stsadm -o editssp -title SSP -ssplogin NEWDOMAIN\ssp_service_account -ssppassword Password123
# Manual steps
SSP Admin -> Search Settings -> Default Content Access Account
Application pools: CA -> Operations -> Service Accounts -> Web Application Pool (or use gl-updateapppoolaccount if available)
iisreset /noforce
Copy SQL permissions to the new accounts. Not sure why this doesn't happen.
SSP Service Account
Farm Account
Setup Account (not copied because it doesn't own anything, just used to kick off the DB for the other accounts)
Search Service
Add accounts to DCOM not sure why this didn't happen
Component Services -> Computer -> My Computer -> DCOM Config -> IIS WAMREG Service
Farm account
Application pool accounts
Search Service
SSP Service
SSP Admin
Then the fun part. Move the server into the new domain.
Check for AAMs to see if they reference the current domain. If so, change to the new one.
Stop all SP services. Join new domain.
The computer name is a netbios name in SP, this should be painless.
Some general notes from my experience doing this:
1. There is no way to update application pool identities with stsadm (I haven't explored using Powershell). You have to go through CA -> Service Accounts to update these.
2. Some SQL logins and permissions were not created. I compared the permissions before to the permissions after and copied the ones that didn't transfer. This resolved all database access issues.
3. Had to grant permissions for the service accounts in the DCOM configuration for the IIS WAMREG admin service. I expected this to happen automatically but was not surprised given the history of CLSID 61738644-F196-11D0-9953-00C04FD919C1.

Hello Ramesh,
Cognos (as well as any other 3rd party front-end) will benefit from BIA. How much faster your queries will be depends on how much time is spent on the data selection.The higher the time now, the faster these queries will be with BIA.

Site not accessible from the Load balanced web front end server - sharepoint 2010

I have a production environment with 2 WFE's(sp-wfe1 & sp-wfe2), 2 APP's and 2 SQL clustered VM's.
2 WFE's are load balanced using hardware load balancer.
An A-Record(PORTAL) is created in DNS for the virtual IP of the load balancer which points to the 2 WFE's.
A web application is created on the WFE's on port 80.
alternative access mapping is configured and the load balanced record "http://PORTAL" is used under the default zone.
Under IIS I have edited the bindings for the sharepoint site at port 80 and added the HOSTNAME as PORTAL.
Result: The site is accessible from outside the server and works fine.
ISSUE: The site is not accessible within the WFE's(sp-wfe1 & sp-wfe2).
When I browse the site from the WFE's server it ask for the credentials and when I enter the credentials and click OK it ask the credentials again and again and in the end displays a blank page.
Kindly help me in this issue because I am clueless and couldn't find anything helpful on the internet.

SharePoint 2013 Apps shows 404 page not found on web front end servers.

Hi All,
We are implementing SharePoint Apps for our UAT environment with 1 application server and 2 WFEs. In our development server which is single server worked for implementing SharePoint Apps.
All our web applications WFEs are hosted UAT environment and SharePoint Server 2013 is enterprise with this build number 15.0.4420.1017 (RTM). In the Application Server we enabled App management service and Subscription management through
PowerShell.
This DNS configuration is as follows:
contoso.com with IP address for Application server (192.168.10.12) 2 different IP address for WFEs
192.168.10.14/15).
contoso-apps.com for wild card DNS required by SharePoint Apps and pointed to
Application server (192.168.10.12).
We have created self-sign certificate on one the WFE server, create a web application dedicated for SharePoint Apps
without host header and bind the self – sign certificate to the SharePoint Apps web application. DNS is correctly configured on the WFE and we are able to
ping abc.contoso-apps.com.
The App Catalog site is working and we are able to download SharePoint apps. But for the WFEs, when go to SharePoint store
it does shows the content for Store and when download an app and click on Add IT and signed as Office ID we get 404 page not found.
We referred the following sites that relate this 404 error:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sharepoint_-_inside_the_lines/archive/2013/06/23/404-amp-401-errors-with-the-app-management-service.aspx

http://www.jeremythake.com/2013/12/troubleshooting-sharepoint-2013-hosted-apps-on-premises-404-not-found-error/
https://samlman.wordpress.com/2015/03/01/planning-the-infrastructure-required-for-the-new-app-model-in-sharepoint-2013/
But in my case we have already defined a blank host header for SharePoint Apps that we create previously.
Is it because we not using latest patch as Steve Peschka that March PU fixed this issue?
Any other solution we should look to fix this.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Sandy

Your contoso-apps.com
wildcard address should point to one of the WFE servers, not the Application server. (Actually it should point to the load balancer for the WFEs, but you don't mention a load balancer.) Apps generate a dynamic HTML web site on the WFE server. If
you point to the application server it may not be able to deliver that content if the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Service isn't turned on. (That's what makes a server a WFE)
