Three server farm set up

i am having three boxes where  in the first 2 boxes  sp 2013  been installed, and i wanna implement the index/crawl server
on the second box and  first box being appln server and  3rd box being the db server.
would like to know how to implement my search functionality using this  2nd box  which has sp 2013 is set up.
what are the steps i need to do  in order to implement the index/crawler feature in this sp farm.
search serv appln has been created already  in this 2nd box. 
would like to know the steps to configure the search[ i have already configured the search func. in my dev machine which has  sp 2013 and sql 2012 in a single box. in the case  of 3 server farm.

Hi,
From your description, you have 3 server named 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
1st:    SharePoint Server
2nd:   SharePoint Server
3rd:    SQL Server
And you want to implement Search Service only on 2nd SharePoint server with all index/crawler component.
According to the picture you unloaded, it seems that the server named
SIDCSP13APP holds all search components. Is this the 2nd Server? Or is it the 1st Server? As Bhavik mentioned, the 3rd has no change to have search components because it doesn't have SharePoint installed.
Therefore:
1. If SIDCSP13APP is the 1st server and you want to enable search components only on 2nd server, you can remove the search service application on 1st server and enable on 2nd server.
2. If SIDCSP13APP is the 2nd server and you want to enable search components only on 2nd server, the current state is just the one you want.
3. If SIDCSP13APP is the 1st server and you want to extend the search topology on both two SharePoint servers, you may refer to this which guide you to add\remove search components and build you own topology.

  • Sharepoint 2013 Foundation three tier farm with two Webservers in NLB

    Heloo,
    I have been strugling with a problem the last htree days.
    I have instelled and configured a sharepoint 2013 three tier farm with Sharepoint 2013 Foundation and MS SQL 2014 Express. This is a Test Farm and all the servers are Windows 2012 R2.
    I have one SQL Server, one Application Server and two Webservers. The tow web servers are configured with Multicasting NLB. The NLB name is "sharepoint.ws.domain.net". The IP of the NLB is also in our DNS Zone.I have made a Web Application with
    the name "sharepoint.ws.domain.net" on port 80 (NLB name) and a Site collection with the same name.
    Now whene I am working on the Sharepoint Site I get very offen a login Window or I get the message "An error occurred while processing the request on the server. The status code returned from the server was: 0".
    The error "An error occurred while processing the request on the server. The status code returned from the server was: 0" comes when I try to create a sub Site (most with no Permissions inheritance)... but not allways. I also get  sometimes
    the same message when I upload files (MS Office documents and PDF files).
    The login Windows comes whene I am navigating throw the Sites... but also not allways.I go to the Site with an IE11 and the Site is also in the Intranet security sites.
    Can you help me on this one...
    Kind Regards
    Ioannis Kyriakidis

    With no hostname on the Web Application, you have to create Host-named Site Collections. So that complicates things a bit.
    As far as NLB setup, you create Web Applications the same way you would otherwise. NLB is simply installed on both Web Servers and placed into the NLB VIP (virtual IP). The DNS A record points at the VIP.
    Also set up your Windows NLB using Unicast instead of Multicast. If you have certain types of switches that block unicast ARP from multiple clients, e.g. Cisco, you may have to make an exception for them (e.g. http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/switches/catalyst-6500-series-switches/107995-microsoft-nlb.html).

  • How to create a mult-server server farm?

    Hello Community
        Let's say you create your Sharepoint 2013 Server farm.
        How do you create a Search and Application Server on a separate physical
    server and how do you create an SQL Server on a Separate physical Server
    and finally adding those Search and Application Server and SQL Server
    to your Sharepoint 2013 Server farm?
        Thank you
        Shabeaut

    Hi,
    Once you are done with SharePoint installation on one server you are going to add further Application server or Web front end server as per your requirement and finally you will configure the service on your farm.
    For setting up the multitire SharePoint farm first of all you need to install the below given  prerequisites on
    one server.
    Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5
    Windows Management Framework 3.0 (CTP2)
    Application Server Role, Web Server (IIS) Role
    Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 Native Client
    Windows Identity Foundation (KB974405)
    Microsoft Sync Framework Runtime v1.0 SP1 (x64)
    Windows Server AppFabric
    Microsoft Identity Extensions
    Microsoft Information Protection and Control Client
    Microsoft WCF Data Services 5.0
    Cumulative Update Package 1 for Microsoft AppFabric 1.1 for Windows Server (KB2671763)
    After installing the SQL server you Just run the SharePoint product and technologies configuration wizard and follow the steps
    to add a sever to an existing farm.
    Actually as per your question you need to set up a three-tier farm configuration consists of two front-end web
    servers, an application server, and a database server. The deployment sequence and configurations that are described in this article are based on recommended best practices. While the farm configuration is not complex, it provides a fundamental infrastructure
    to implement a SharePoint 2013 solution on similar — or more complex farms.
    In this article:
    Overview
    Prepare the farm servers
    Install SharePoint 2013 on the farm servers
    Create and configure the farm
    Add web servers to the farm
    Post-installation steps

  • Two Xserves running 10.5 Server and setting up DNS...

    Hello.
    I have two Xserves (a G5 and a new Intel), both with fresh installs of 10.5 Server on them.
    Xserve #1 not going to be hosting any external services (FTP, web, email) and only housing internal, mission critical & confidential data (the server is set up with a mirror RAID on the OS drive as well as mirror RAID on the storage drives + nightly tape backups for offsite storage). Right now there are no plans for enabling iCal on this server as we're trying to keep the server as basic as possible (as we can afford zero downtime on this server), but if the initial setup of 10.5 requires configuration at first run to allow this type of thing, I'd like to deal with it now so as to keep my options open (as I know iCal on 10.5 requires Open Directory enabled).
    Xserve #2 is going to host FTP (for external clients) and internal file sharing for the design/production department (basically, for transferring files back and fourth between departments, so no data via this share will be "critical" as it's only temporarily on the server and will always exist in other locations). Even though this server will not host "critical" data, it will share the same backup/RAID scheme as Xserve #1.
    So, I'm curious as to how I set up DNS in this situation (so we can associate a domain name to our static IP address). We already have our main domain setup via 3rd-party hosting service (for web & email as we do not want to bring these services in-house), but we're purchasing a second domain that will be associated with company (via a static IP, so we can give a domain name instead of IP address for people needing to connect to the FTP server, make it easier for employees to remember the address for remote connections, etc.).
    Because Xserve #2 is going to be hosting FTP, would it make sense to setup DNS on this server and not set it up on Xserve #1? Also, and this could just be me being paranoid, but because Xserve #1 will be housing "critical & confidential" data I want to eliminate as much contact with the outside world as possible with this server, so this is another reason I feel Xserve #2 should have DNS running instead.
    Oh, and not sure if this makes any difference, but between the WAN and the LAN is a SonicWALL firewall and currently it deal with port forwarding, etc. depending on what services are being requested from the WAN (ie. remote machine connections, FileMaker remote connections, etc.).
    Any advice would be appreciated!
    Regards,
    Kristin.

    There's a couple of things in your post I don't understand:
    the server is set up with a mirror RAID on the OS drive as well as mirror RAID on the storage drives
    How are you doing this? Both XServes support only three internal drives and two mirrors require 4 drives. Where does the fourth drive come into play?
    I'm curious as to how I set up DNS in this situation
    There are numerous ways of doing this, but with a single static IP address your best bet is to leave DNS where it is - managed by your hosting provider. Just add a record in the domain zone (e.g. ftp.yourdomain.com) that has the IP address of the public interface your SonicWall firewall. You don't need a separate domain for this. You also don't need to setup internal DNS for this (although you may need internal DNS if you're running Open Directory.
    Because Xserve #2 is going to be hosting FTP, would it make sense to setup DNS on this server and not set it up on Xserve #1?
    Assuming you're referring to setting up a DNS server - use them BOTH. Make one of the servers the primary server (I'd pick the internal-only server for this) and set the other server to be a slave (so it copies all the zone data from the primary server). That way you have a replica of the data to provide additional resilience.

  • Logging into a specific server in a terminal server farm

    We have several terminal server farms and in each farm we have the need for 1 user to always log into a specific server in the farm.   This is due to a little piece of sortware that is required for a device that only this one user has and
    the fact the it is licensed to only one server.   The user must use that server for it to work.  I want to include this server in the farm because it seems silly to have a server for only one user.    How can I point one PC/user
    to the same server in the farm all the time?  We are using the Connection Broker and NLB which seems to work just fine for all other users. 
    Thanks

    Hi Steve,
    What operating system version are you running on your servers?  Server 2008 R2?  Server 2012?
    When you configure a RDS farm to be load-balanced by the connection broker, all servers in the unique farm are intended to have the exact same applications installed.  The idea is the RDCB can redirect users to different servers as needed to balance
    the load, and that you may take any particular server (or servers, if you have enough) offline and your farm will still work.
    Now, there are always exceptions and I understand it would be nice if you could assign a user/app to a specific server to handle a case like yours.  For example, you would understand this particular user or app would not be load-balanced or highly
    available and if the one server was down it would not work, but other users/RemoteApps would be load-balanced as usual.  This is
    not a feature of the current versions of RDS.
    To do what you want the "best way" would require writing a custom plugin for RDCB.  In your custom plugin you would specifiy the load-balancing logic.  For example, when one of the "special" users logs on, your logic would direct them to the
    correct specific server, but when a regular user logs on you would allow the normal RDCB load-balancing logic to apply.  Please see here for more information:
    Terminal Services Session Broker Plug-in reference
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/cc644962(v=vs.85).aspx
    Besides writing a custom plugin I suggest you consider the following workarounds:
    1. Instead of running the app under RDSH, run it in a Win7/Win8 VM pool if possible.  Either a pool of identical VMs or assign each user that needs to run the app to a dedicated VM.  Downside of this is added complexity, licensing for VDI,
    and an increase in hardware resources required to run the VMs.
    2. Have the user connect to the server using /admin.  You can change the permissions so that a specific group may connect using a /admin connection, without them being administrators.  Downside of this is that some features
    of RDSH are not present when connected as an administrative RDP session, and only two Active admin sessions are permitted.
    3. If running Server 2008 R2 you could set the server so that it does not participate in load balancing and have the users that need to run this special app connect directly to the server's ip address instead of to the farm name.  Downside of this
    is that you will get more uneven load distribution, however, it may not be that bad if you are balancing your initial connections using NLB and you have all of your regular users connecting to the farm name as usual.
    4. Have a separate server in each farm (not joined to the farm) just for this one app.  If possible they could be VMs with not much resources dedicated to each.  I know this is what you did not want to do, but I mention it because an
    extra base Windows Server license, one for each farm, is likely less additional cost than licensing the special software on
    all servers.  If you can run the app in VMs then the additional hardware cost of doing it this way is reduced.

  • The server farm account should not be used for other services

    I have created a new SharePoint Foundation 2013 Farm. I only used the Farm Configuration Wizard to create the Search Service Application, all other aspects of the Farm was created using PowerShell.
    The SharePoint Health Analyzer is reporting the following error:
    Title: The server farm account should not be used for other services.
    Severity: 1 - Error
    Category: Security
    Explanation: DOMAIN\FARM_ACCOUNT, the account used for the SharePoint timer service and the central administration site, is highly privileged and should not be used for any other services on any machines in the server farm.  The following services were
    found to use this account: Distributed Cache Service(Windows Service)
    Remedy: Browse to
    http://centraladminsite:port/_admin/FarmCredentialManagement.aspx and change the account used for the services listed in the explanation. For more information about this rule, see "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=142685".
    Now I understand how to change the account used to run the Distributed Cache Service, but my query is what account should I use in the least privelage model? I have setup the following 6 accounts as per TechNet guidelines (Link)
    and am not sure if one of these accounts should be used or if another account is required:
    SQL Server service account
    Setup user account
    Server farm account
    SharePoint Server Search service account
    Default content access account
    Application pool identity
    After reviewing the TechNet article again, I don't fully understand the section titled "Service application accounts". Is the article advising me to create a seperate account for each row in the table? e.g. 1 account for Business Data Connectivity
    Service, a different account for "Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service", another account for "App management" and another account for "Distributed Cache", so 4 extra accounts if I choose to install all of these services
    within the Farm?
    Also, what does the article mean when it says "Plan one set of an application pool and proxy group for each service application that you plan to implement."? How do I go about doing this?
    Kevin Evans

    After reviewing the TechNet article again, I don't fully understand the section titled "Service application accounts". Is the article advising me to create a seperate account for each row in the table? e.g. 1 account for Business Data Connectivity Service,
    a different account for "Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service", another account for "App management" and another account for "Distributed Cache", so 4 extra accounts if I choose to install all of these services within the Farm?
    Inder: Yes, It is suggested to have multiple service account for each service application. This increases security and dependencyof 1 account on multiple Service applications. Like below
    SQL Server service
    Local System account (default)
    Setup user
    Member of the Administrators group on the local computer
    Server farm
    Network Service (default)
    No manual configuration is necessary.
    SharePoint Server Search Service
    By default, this account runs as the Local System account.
    If you want to crawl remote content by changing the default content access account or by using crawl rules, change this to a domain user account. If you do not change this account to a domain user account, you cannot change the default content access account
    to a domain user account or add crawl rules to crawl this content. This restriction is designed to prevent elevation of privilege for any other process running as the Local System account.
    Default Content Access
    No manual configuration is necessary if this account is only crawling local farm content. If you want to crawl remote content by using crawl rules, change this to a domain user account, and apply the requirements listed for a server farm.
    Content Access
    Same requirement as the default content access account.
    Profile import Default Access
    Same requirements as server farm.
    Excel Services Unattended Service
    Must be a domain user account.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263445%28v=office.15%29.aspx
    Also, what does the article mean when it says "Plan one set of an application pool and proxy group for each service application that you plan to implement."? How do I go about doing this?
    Inder: Each service account has a application pool and you can plan to use same application pool for multiple
    service accounts if required. These application pool are then consumed by proxy connection
    of each service application. On service application pool, you can see all the service applications and its proxy connection.

  • Move Project Server to a new Server Farm

    I would like to migrate Project server environment along with Project and Resource Data from one server farm to another farm. The environment has customized with custom Enterprise Templates, fields and lookups. Servers in the earlier farm are in a different
    AD (Active Directory) environment. So, the new server farm would be in a new Active Directory.
    I would like get the key steps and procedure to move Project Server across the two environments. Would the Database attach and detach process work? Any help in this regard will be appreciated.

    Abhijit,
    I personally did not have to do this, but it seems to me that there needs to be a trust set up between both AD Environments. Also, the service accounts will need to have appropriate access on the restored databases.
    Please refer this link for more information:
    http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Server/MS-SharePoint/Q_27154301.html
    Alternatively, you could use a third party tool like FluentBooks to migrate the data. Still think that the AD users need to be migrated first.

  • What needs to be done to rebuild a current Sharepoint 2010 Server farm to work as a Sharepoint 2013 Server farm?

    Hello Community
        Currently I have a Sharepoint 2010 Server farm.
        One server contains the database and DNS server
    because it is the the domain controller.
        The other server Contains the Sharepoint 2010 Server software
    and is the the application server where applications such as Metadata,
    UPs, etc, reside (including web applications with sites built with the UI).
        Now I am going to change to Sharepoint 2013 Server because currently
    there is no newer version of Sharepoint available.
        I am ready to rebuild the current Sharepoint 2010 farm configuration into
    a Sharepoint 2013 Server farm from scratch.
        The question  is what do needs to be added and\or changed to make the current
    Sharepoint 2010 Server farm configuration work as a Sharepoint 2013 Server farm?
        Thank you
        Shabeaut

    There is no direct in-place uprade method for SharePoint 2010 to 2013. You need to create a new SharePoint 2013 farm from scratch and attach service and content databases to upgrade them. Check out Upgrade
    to SharePoint 2013 for more information about the process.
    If you have another server, you would install SharePoint 2013 on this. If you don't, you'll need to remove SharePoint 2010 from your existing server and then install SharePoint 2013. Check out Hardware
    and software requirements for SharePoint 2013 before starting to make sure your server meets the minimum requirements for SharePoint 2013:
    Web server or application server in a three-tier farm

  • SP2013 Server farm to Standalone migration/Configuration!

    Hi All,
    In my comapany i have put sharepoint development server to every users dekstop. They have 8GB of RAM Server2012 as base OS. I have configured server farm in all the systems. The problem is the system are too slow.
    In a new system i have installed and configured standalone server with 8GB RAM, it is somewhat better in speed.
    So i would like to know whether  we can able to downgrade from server farm to standalone in the rest of the systems ?
    Will it affect all the database, other settings that these users have been working on ?
    Thank you.

    that is expected behavior with the configuration you have. MSFT recommend 10GB Ram and 64Bit, 4 Cores minimum requirement. In your scenario you have all resource loving tools...Win 2012, SP2013, VS2012, SQL server. I highly recommend you to upgrade to a
    tlesaet 16GB(but better results 24GB) ram. Check the MSFT guideline.

  • Error creating SharePoint Server Farm

    Since Sunday I've been trying to create SharePoint Server Farms on the new Azure portal with the new gallery option. Every time I try to create a farm, it fails to create the SharePoint VM. I set up a trial account as well but it also fails. 
    How do I resolve this issue?

    Hi,
    Which region did you select when create the Sharepoint farm?
    I checked on my Azure account and I could not create a Sharepoint VM when I created a Sharepoint server farm. I will report it to the related team and hope it would be solve soon.
    Best regards,
    Susie

    Not alone with problems on "Mail" app server connection, iMap!!!!  I believe Apple is strengthening their server farm.  Has been out for over a week; they were wise to have the iCloud also in the cloud.  Be patient!

    Have you considered the possibility that the third party fan software might itself be implicated in the issue, theosib (or perhaps something else introduced at about that time?).
    My inclination in a situation like this would be to back up your drive to an external, wipe the drive, and do a clean installation. At the very least I'd try an archive and install.
    Do you have plenty of free space on the drive? Once you get things down below the last 10 to 20% things can get hairy at times, and may not be fixed as a result of simply freeing up some room, as free space fragmentation is likely to have set in.
    As far as RAM goes, either "Rember" - http://www.kelleycomputing.net:16080/rember/ or, better still, but less user friendly, "memtest" - http://www.memtestosx.org/ does a much better job of checking your RAM than the AHT. Still takes a while to run for a thorough test, but much quicker than the approach you are planning on using.
    You might also want to use "Activity Monitor" to check for any applications with progressive "memory leaks" or that are acting as CPU hogs, given your symptoms
    Cheers

  • Create a VDI on a production server farm

    Hi guys, I need some advice on this matter: I have a fully functional Hyper-V 8 node cluster (managed with SCVMM 2012 R2) used for server vm. Two VM on that cluster are RD Gateways (we have some users connecting remotely to ther physical PCs).
    I need to create a VDI for 30 thin clients, using VMs for RD Connection Broker and Web services and the already working Hyper-V cluster as Virtualization Host. I've already installed manually the RD Virtualization role on each cluster node.
    1) When launching the VDI wizard, I cannot skip the RD Virtualization host selection and, if I select the cluster name the installation will fail with error: the given key was not present in the dictionary deploying. Should I simply add all cluster nodes
    indipendently? (at this moment, I add 1 cluster node only to check if installation worked)
    2) I'm planning to install Connection Broker and Web Services on the same VMs (2 for HA). Should I go whis way or there are reasons to put the 2 roles on different machines?
    3) How do I add my existing RD Gateways to the deployment? The server manager seems to be unaware of the already existent role on the two RDG machines.
    Best regards
    Dario Palermo

    Hi Dario,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    For installation process of VDI you can refer following article for detailed information.
    Lab Ops 7 – Setting up a pooled VDI collection in Windows Server 2012 R2
    Deploying VDI for RDS 2012 / 2012R2 – Part I
    As per knowledge, there is no restriction or any issue to place both RDCB and RD Web on same server but personally suggest (if you have enough resource to install) to configure on separate server for HA because of security reason as we don’t like to take risk
    to access the RDCB server (by any users) who act as a middle man for load balancing and other stuff for other RDS roles. 
    To add the existing RDG server to new deployment; we need to have certificate match by FQDN name, configure RD Gateway manager and add the RD Gateway server Farm member, configure RD CAP and RD RAP successfully and create server groups using the manage locally
    stored computer groups and add the computer name, server name and Farm name.
    You can get more details for RD Gateway configuration with following links.
    How To Work with RD Gateway in Windows Server 2012
    Deploying Remote Desktop Gateway RDS 2012
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.
