Can i use office web app server without adding to a domain ?

spserver.local is my domain controller webapp.spsserver.local is my office web app server(OWA)(IP:79.123.161.xxx )
I manage to use office web app with sharepoint 2013 my OWA is in a domain (spserver.local) and it's address is http://webapp.spserver.local/hosting/discovery There
is no problem. But I want to seperate OWA with Sharepoint and its domain I want to remove the domain.Is it possible?
For example my OWA's ip is 79.123.161.xxx
I want to work like this: http://79.123.161.xxx/hosting/discovery
When I enter the path http://79.123.161.xxx/hosting/discovery there
is an iis message "File or directory not found."

Are you asking if you can have your OWA in different domain compared to SharePoint server domain or are you asking that your OWA does not belong to any domain and you still want to use it with SharePoint?
If your question is regarding using OWA in different domain then I think (someone can correct me if I am wrong) OWA can run into different domain. You just need to add your SharePoint Server host domain to the Allow List for an Office Web Apps Server farm.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219459.aspx
If your question is related to OWA not belonging to any domain then I do not think that will work and its not supported scenario. If you read the following article it states
"All servers in the Office Web Apps Server farm must be part of a domain. They can be in the same domain (recommended) or in domains that are in the same forest. However, Office Web Apps Server won’t work if you try to install it on a domain controller."

Is it available to add document editing feature in our own OA system using Office Web Apps Server without installing SharePoint?

It seems we need to license OWA server with SharePoint to enable editing feature. Can I call OWA to
edit file outside SharePoint?

You can edit documents via Outlook Web App (Exchange). You can also build your own interface to do so.

Using Office Web Apps Server 2013 without SharePoint, Lync, or Exchange

I'm trying to use the Office Web Apps Server 2013 as an online viewer of Office documents (using the Online Viewer). I've set up a New-OfficeWebAppsFarm with editing disabled, no UNC paths, and an external URL with SSL Offloaded to my Load balancer.
I don't want to use it with SharePoint, Lync or Exchange. Just use it to view documents online (similar to Google Docs Viewer).
However, when I point the Office Web Apps Server to a remote file online (e.x. a DOC hosted on a website), I get an error opening it.
I've checked the health statuses of my OWA Servers, and it says Healthy.
When I check the Event viewer of my OWA Server, I see 501 WOPI errors:
Could not contact WOPI End Point. Error details - 'NotImplemented url - https://sample-owa-url.com/oh/wopi/files/@/wFileId?wFileId=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eimr%2Esandia%2Egov%2Fimrtemplate%2Edoc&access_token=1&access_token_ttl=0'.
It seems OWA is trying to connect to the path /oh/wopi/files.... but the server is responding NotImplemented.
What do I have to get this to work?
Thanks for any help!

Did you ever find an answer? I have the exact same Issue.
I have 2 WAC servers behind a load balancer with SSL offloaded to the LB. Both servers report healthy with Get-OfficeWebAppsMachine
Works fine with SharePoint 2013.
When I use it with a remote file, served using HTTP with no authentication (anonymous), I get a generic "Sorry there was a problem and we can't open this document..." error.
In the ULS and event viewer, I see the WOPI error and 501 which basically says:
Could not contact WOPI End Point. Error details - 'NotImplemented url - https://sample-owa-url.com/oh/wopi/files/@/wFileId?wFileId=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Blah%2Ecom%2FWordDocument%2Edocx&access_token=1&access_token_ttl=0'.
I also sometimes see this:
<HealthMessage>WordViewerWfeWatchdog reported status for WebWordViewer in category 'WfeRedirect'. Reported status: /default.aspx returned a 404, which means that we didn't have where to redirect.</HealthMessage>
The very interesting part s that I have a dev server, with OWA (WAC) installed, thats not going through a LB and does not use SSL, that works just fine with the same public url word document.

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.

Anohter useful article aobut how to license Office Web App server, you can take a look.

Office Web Apps Server Default language.

we are using Office Web Apps Server 2013 SP1 with SharePoint 2013 SP1. All servers use English UK regional settings, all SharePoint Sites use English UK as default regional setting.
When we create a new document using Word Web App, the default proofing language defaults to En-US.
How can i configure the office web apps or SharePoint to use English-UK as default.
talwar

Hi talwar,
As I tested in my environment, I couldn’t set default proofing language in Office Web App. And I found a similar case:

Office web apps server 2013 - launching search on loading page

Hello!
I use Office Web Apps Server 2013 for viewing documents on internal portal (it is not SharePoint, and documents is read only) with automatic generating links. Links are generated according instruction
on http://<OWA host>/op/generate.aspx (for example, http://<OWA host>/op/view.aspx?src=<path to file>).
I have some questions:
1) In some cases, when a document is openedI want
immediately start the search with some terms.
Can I give terms
to search in url params in generated url? For example, http://<OWA host>/op/view.aspx?src=<path to file>#search=<terms>?
Is there any other
way to run a search on page load?
2) I want to use multi-term search (when my search query is 'tame tamed taming', and
all individual words ('tame', 'tamed', 'taming')
are highlighted in document).
Is there a way to do it?
3)I want to use whole-word search (when my search query is'act', and words 'practice' or 'action' are not
highlighted in document).
Is there a way to do it?

Hi Jazzy.em
Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
This forum is for developers discussing developing issues about

How can i check the office web app server(wac client) is calling custom WOPI host?

I am getting an error when I testing my wopi host(which is the same as
example) with Office Web app server "Sorry, there was a problem and we can't open this document. If this happens again, try opening the document in Microsoft Word."
1-how can find the log files of this error?
2-how can i check the office web app server(wac client) is calling my WOPI host?
I am not sure about cumunication between owa to wopi host. I actually dont know how to implement checkfile and getfile functions to wopi host for waiting for call back from owa client.
Note:I am sure that office web app server is configured true. Because i test it with sharepoint 2013 and editing and viewing is working well.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that
CheckFileInfo is how the WOPI application gets information about the file and the permissions a user has on the file. It should have a URL that looks like this:
HTTP://server/<...>/wopi*/files/<id>?access_token=<token>
While CheckFileInfo provides information about a file, GetFile returns the file itself. It should have a URL that looks like this:
HTTP://server/<...>/wopi*/files/<id>/contents?access_token=<token>
There is a great article for your reference.

You can also refer to the following article which is about building an Office Web Apps(OWA) WOPI Host.

Office Web Apps Server - Access is denied

Hello,
I was able to create an Office Web Apps server and was able to create a new farm for that server all without any issues, everything works great.
Unfortunately right after creating the farm, when attempting to run any other related powershell commands such as:
Get-OfficeWebAppsFarm
Remove-OfficeWebAppsFarm
I get this error in powershell:
Get-OfficeWebAppsFarm : Access is denied.
At line:1 char:1
+ Get-OfficeWebAppsFarm
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-OfficeWebAppsFarm], SecurityAccessDeniedException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.ServiceModel.Security.SecurityAccessDeniedException,Microsoft.Office.Web.Apps.Adm
   inistration.GetFarmCommand
Although everything is actually working on the server, I'd like to be able to use those other commands in the future so I can check configurations, use "Remove" for running updates, etc... Unfortunately it appears as though this Access is
denied error may interfere with those activities.
Has anyone seen this before?
Thank you

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to run any other related powershell commands after creating the farm for Office Web Apps server.
If the account trying to get OfficeWebAppsFarm does not have local admin access on the machine you will simply get an “Access is denied”.
Please make sure you have the permission to run the commands.

Office Web Apps server for Lync DNS question

We are going to deploy an Office Web Apps server for our Lync 2013 clients, available internally and externally. We do not have a split-horizon DNS so it is not possible for wac.foo.com to have a different IP for internal vs. external clients. What is the
best setup for our scenario? It looks like we can only add one address in the Lync topology builder, so would it make sense to send everybody to the external wac.foo.com regardless of whether they are internal vs. external? Or is there a better option?
Thanks,
Matt

It might be easiest to use pin-point DNS. Create an internal zone called wac.foo.com with a blank A record that points to the internal IP address of the OWAS/WAC server. This way, wac.foo.com will resolve to the correct
internal address, but you're not setting up a split zone for the rest of foo.com.
This trick can come in handy for publishing other items without recreating the entire zone, it's a nice one to keep in your back pocket.

Office Web Apps server not working externally

Hopefully someone with a functional OWA server can help. When my users try to share a presentation, whiteboard, or poll as an external user or to an external user (coming through Edge), the content fails to share and this error occurs:
"We can't connect to the server for presenting right now"
The server functions internally fine and content shares perfectly. The OWA server has a certificate from an internal CA and it is published through a TMG reverse proxy. When I hit the discovery URL, it works fine and triggers the reverse proxy
rule. However, when I try to share content, it does not hit the rule.
Thanks for your help!
Jim

Hi,
Looks like the external lync clients can't connect the office web app server. So please check if you publish the web office app to internet correctly.
Please refer this document about Publishing Office Web Apps Server Using a Reverse Proxy Server:

Office web apps "Server error in '/wv' Application"

Hi, I successfully installed office web app for sharepoint 2013. However, when I tried to open documents, it shows the preview but once view/edit in browser, I got this error. What seems to be the problem?
Server error in '/wv' Application.
Unable to determine zone from request

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you encountered the error “Server error in '/wv' Application. Unable to determine zone from request” when you open document using Office Web Apps.
Are you using https:// to access the Office Web Apps server? Is the default zone of your web application in Alternate Access Mappings using http:// ?
If so, you can change the default zone
of your web application in Alternate Access Mappings to use https:// .
Or set AllowOAuthOverHttp to true:
$config = (Get-SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig)
$config.AllowOAuthOverHttp = $true
$config.Update()

Office Web Apps Server , Excel Web Apps , Error , Event ID 5226

There is an environment of install Office Web Apps 2013 for SharePoint 2013 – with PDF Preview.
Having been able to use it without any problems.
One day, a preview of the Excel does not work properly.
Error or do not know the contents of the following, a solution to solve this issue anyone?
ERROR,
2014/XX/XX XX:55:30,
Excel Web App,5226,
Unable to create or access workbook cache at
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\OfficeWebApps\Working\waccache\XXXX\Images.
Excel Services Application is unable to function without a workbook cache.

If you have not followed instructions according to the following article. You need to reconfigure office web apps for sharepoint
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj966220(v=office.15).aspx
"Applying Office Web Apps Server updates by using the automatic updates process isn’t supported with Office Web Apps Server. This is because updates to an Office Web Apps Server must be applied in a specific way, as described in this article"

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.

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):

He resolved the problem by assigning a new OAuthTokenIssuer certificate. This however did not fix the problem in my case.
Regards
Sverre A. Veel

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