Workflow Manager Configuration Issue Windows Server 2012 R2 / SQL 2014

Hello All,
Environment:  SharePoint 2013 Enterprise with SP1
Farm consists of
 2 App Server, 2 Web Server and 2 SQL Servers all the server have Windows 2012 R2 
OS .  The SQL backend is SQL Server 2014
Installed Workflow manager on the Web server, the configuration ran fine without any errors. Trying to browse the workflow management site via IIS Manager encountered Certificate Error clicked Continue to this website which gives a HTTP 403 Forbidden and
following detail message
This error (HTTP 403 Forbidden) means that Internet Explorer was able to connect to the website, but it does not have permission to view the webpage.
Checked the web site Workflow Management Site in the IIS manager which has only one folder bin . I was not able to submit the Screenshot
I have installed the latest patch for the Workflow manager and the Service Bus
Question I have
Should there be more folder under the Workflow Management Site.
Why is the Web site not showing the web page
Is workflow manager supported for Windows Server 2012 R2 and SQL 2014
Thanks
Dhanraj

Hi Dhanraj,
I captured the screenshot from my IIS Manager on workflow server. There is only bin folder under Workflow Management site
If I browser workflow host uri from IIS Manager
https://localhost:12290, I received certification error, and I chose the continue to this website, it returned me as follow:
From the link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2902007/en-us It is supported on Windows Server 2012 r2 if you have install latest update.
Here is an article which talks about error:
http://www.sp2013blog.com/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=36
In addition, here is the reference for troubleshooting workflow manager 1.0 management:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj193529(v=azure.10).aspx#AnalyzingWorkflowManagementLogs
You could also open SharePoint Designer 2013 and see if you could create a workflow on platform 2013.

  • Question on Quorum : Windows Server 2012 R2 + SQL 2014 AlwaysOn AG

    OS on all nodes : Windows Server 2012 R2
    SQL on all nodes : SQL Server 2014 CU2
    2 cluster nodes in primary data center and AlwaysOn AG doing Sync Transfer between these nodes with auto failover.
    2 cluster nodes in DR data center(Different subnet) and AlwaysON AG doing an Async Transfer between primary replica and these nodes with manual failover.
    As this is a multi sub-net cluster we are giving DR nodes 0 vote. 2 nodes on primary DC has votes and a file share on the primary DC has a vote.
    If the primary DC is gone,then should we re-assign node votes to the 2 nodes in DR site and again manually configure a file share witness and give it a vote?
    Whats the best strategy here? Any recommendation is highly appreciated.
    Thank you,

    Anup,
    Think if we have network issues between Primary DC and DR DC. DR node might think…Hey, I’m the only one running now. I can take all the resources. We do not want nodes in the secondary site to contribute to a decision to take the cluster offline
    when there is nothing wrong with the primary site. Do you mean to say Dynamic Quorum is smart enough to handle this situation?
    Is it smart enough on it's own? No. That's why someone has to determine which site they want to stay up.
    If you're using dynamic quorum, a new property was introduced called "LowerQuorumPriorityNodeID" which is set at the cluster level. Give it the node of one and only one of the secondary site servers. Set a fileshare witness (if possible) as the
    odd vote and make sure both sites can see it equally well. Set this property on the cluster for a node on the secondary site.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn265972.aspx#BKMK_TieBreak
    Assume that the fileshare goes down and you have 2 nodes at the local site and 2 nodes at the DR site. Suddenly, communicates between the two are severed. If you have dynamic quorum set and the property I mentioned above, the secondary site will shut down
    and the local site will stay up as the secondary site is set for a lower precedence.
    Please note, the only reason I brought this up was because you're on Windows Server 2012R2 as this is when it was first introduced.

  • It is compatible Obi 11g  with Windows Server  2012 and Sql Server 2012?

    Hi every
    Please help with two questions.
    1. - Obi 11g is supported on Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012?
    There a compatibility matrix which mention compatibility with versions 2012?
    2. - is feasible to install Obi 11g in separate server and install weblogic on another server?
    I appreciate the prompt response
    Regards
    Pedro

    Hi Pedro,
    As of November 2012 Compatibility Matrix released by Oracle for OBI 11.1.1.x Windows 2012 and SQL Server 2012 were not supported. It was supported on 2008 Windows and SQL Server.
    We can have weblogic and OBI server's on 2 different machines. The approach is to opt software only install. the link below will give more details:

    Hi,
    I am attempting to connect to a Windows Server 2012 R2  Hyper-V and am getting the following error message.
    "Unable to Connect to host hyper01"
    I have tested and can connect to a Windows Server 2012 without issue.  Checking the documentation for support and whilst Windows Server 2012 is not supported I wanted to ensure I wasn't making an error.
    If it is indeed not supported at this moment, is there a viable alternative?

  • Remote Desktop Configuration on Windows Server 2012 R2

    Hi, I wanted to see if anyone knows how to access the console that was known before as Terminal Services Configuration.
    I've been having trouble with some servers that have 2 or more NICs and sometimes the RDP protocol won't listen on the right IP and I can't connect until I disable the other NICs.
    Usually in 2008 R2 I would just go on this console and define the specific IP Address in which the RDP Protocol should be listening to, but know I can't find this console anywhere on 2012 R2.
    Any ideas on how I can get there or change this setting on Windows Server 2012 R2?
    Thanks
    Eduardo Rojas

    Hi,
    Based on my research, please try the following on your Windows Server 2012 R2.
    1. Start Registry Editor.
    2. Navigate to the following registry key (path may wrap):
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    3. Under this key are one or more keys for the globally unique identifiers (GUIDs) corresponding to the installed LAN connections. Each of these GUID keys has a Connection subkey. Open each
    of the GUID\Connection keys and look for the Name value. Choose the connection you want Terminal Services to use.
    4. When you have found the GUID\Connection key that contains the Name setting that matches the name of your LAN connection, write down or otherwise note the GUID value.
    5. Then navigate to the following key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\lanatable. Using the GUID you noted in step 5 select subkey. Note it's LanaId.
    6. Navigate to the following value:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\LanAdapter. Change it's data to the value you noted in step 6. If you want RDP to listen on all LAN
    adapters enter value of 0.
    Note: Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you
    modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, please refer to
    How to back up and restore the registry in Windows.
    Hope this helps.

  • Unable to add File Server Resource Manager Tools on Windows Server 2012 - Errors on restart and roll back install

    Unable to install Windows Server 2012 Feature -  [Tools] File Server Resource Manager Tools.
    Installs, however when I restart the server error messages appears saying feature unable to install, windows reverting changes.
    In the Setup event logs have the following information message "Update FSRM-Infrastructure of package FSRM-All failed to be turned on. Status: 0x800f0922"
    Does anyone have any idea's on why this Feature can not be installed ??
    Scott

    Hi Shaun
    Tried both of your suggestions, however neither strategy worked.
    Strategy 1
    Tried installing via powershell - "install-windowsfeature -name fs-resource-manager -includemanagementtools"   
    Feature un-installed itself during the restart.
    Attempted to use the command "DISM /online /remove-feature /featurename:FSRM-Infrastructure-Services".  However
    this did work because one the Service was'nt installed or two because there was no command option for "/remove-feature"
    PACKAGE SERVICING COMMANDS:
      /Add-Package            - Adds packages to the image.
      /Remove-Package         - Removes packages from the image.
      /Enable-Feature         - Enables a specific feature in the image.
      /Disable-Feature        - Disables a specific feature in the image.
      /Get-Packages           - Displays information about all packages in the image.
      /Get-PackageInfo        - Displays information about a specific package.
      /Get-Features           - Displays information about all features in a package.
      /Get-FeatureInfo        - Displays information about a specific feature.
      /Cleanup-Image          - Performs cleanup and recovery operations on the image.
    Strategy 2
    Tried installing via powershell, using the following command DISM
    /online /enable-feature /featurename:FSRM-Infrastructure-Services, however got the same result, the install backed out during the restart.
    All up back to where I started?

    Dear All,
    I need your support in my scenario.
    Work Environment: 
    I work in a company where we have multiple departments.
    My Department is elearning.
    All Departments get Internet and Network Access from IT Department.
    My Department Requirement:
    I Need to Install and Configure File Server and assign storage space for 25 users for storing their respective work files.
    Availability:
    I have installed windows 2012 R2 on my physical server which is connected to my local network
    My Question:
    Do I have to make my server a DC to Install and configure File Server for my requirement?
    If No, then How can I fulfill my requirement ?
    Kindly revert.
    Best Regards,
    Ahmed

    Do you already have an AD domain in your environment? If yes then simply add your File Server as member server and use your AD user accounts to grant the required accesses.
    If no then you can:
    Create local user accounts and provide access using them
    or make your server a DC, create AD accounts and then grant the required accesses
    Before proceeding, it would be better to see with your IT department what is already available and their recommendations to manage your needs.

  • Report Viewer control issue in Windows Server 2012 R2

    Hi,
    I have a reporting application (web) and it is using the Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms.dll (version 11.0.3366). While deploying I have kept all the Reporting Viewer related dll's into the bin directory and things are working fine in the below combinations.
    1) Windows Server 2008 R2 , SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2
    2) Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012
    Today I have installed the same setup into the Windows Server 2012 R2 (with SqlServer 2012) machine and I am facing the some issue. The Print icon and find/next options are not visible in the Report Viewer . I am not sure what was the cause for this.
    Then  I have installed the Report Viewer 2012 runtime on the Windows Server 2012 R2 machine and things are working fine. So , I am wondering how the same setup worked fine in other two combinations with out installing Report Viewer 2012 runtime.
    Did any one have idea/suggestion on this.
    Thanks in advance!
    Best Regards
    Muthuraja

    Have you verified that the runtime assemblies are not on those servers? Maybe someone else added them. There are numerous other possibilities such as code refactoring that moved these elements from to other assemblies (unlikely) or that there was some other
    difference in your installation that you overlooked. I am glad that you were quickly able to resolve your issue however and may help others if they experience the same problem.

    I have been attempting to install SQL Server 2012 with SP1 Express Edition for about a two weeks and have been unsuccessful.  My organization recently purchased a new Dell PowerEdge T320 Server (64 Bit) with Intel Xeon Proc.-E5-2420; 2.2Ghz, 32 Gb RAM,
    1 Tb RAID 5 H/D, and Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials (preinstalled).  The server will be configured as an on premises server.  We are running a small church management application that requires SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express.  Per the direction
    of our application vendor, we downloaded the SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express file (SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe) from the Microsoft SQL Server Website.  We ran the file "As Administrator" and the SQL Server 2012 Setup program began. 
    We selected New SQL Server Stand-Alone Installation, successfully installed the needed Product Updates, and accepted the MS SQL Server 2013 Express License terms. 
    When the Feature Selection Page appeared we checked only the "Data Base Eng Services".  The
    Instance Configuration Page was displayed and we inserted a "Named Instance= Shelby",then pressed next.  On the
    Server Configuration Page the only change was setting the "sql server browser = automatic".  The Database Engine Configuration Page appeared
    and we inserted the following settings:1] Server Configuration Tab; a) mixed mode, b)inserted SQL Server Admin pswd, c) added current user as administrator: 2] Data Directories Tab; default/no changes: 3] User Instanced Tab; default/no
    changes: and 4] Filestream Tab; default/no changes.  Next the
    Reporting Services Configuration Page came up and the reporting services native mode was set to
    "install and configure".  The Error Reporting Page appeared and was left as the
    "default".  The SQL Server 2012 Setup program proceeded to Installation Progress Page and started to install. Just before the install program ended it displayed a message saying that there
    were errors and the Database Eng Services did not succeed. I uninstalled SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express three (3) times, ran Windows Update after every uninstall, attempted to install the Database Engine and got the same results.  Are there any patches or
    special procedures for correctly installing SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express on my hardware configuration or Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2?  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    Can you post the setup Summary and detail logs, which will help to figure out the problem? The details about the location can be found at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143702(v=sql.110).aspx
