Can you install Workflow Manager 1.0 on Central Admin App Server Machine in 3-tier SharePoint Farm?

Hi,
I have just realised when looking at doing a Workflow that 2013 Workflows not available (you need to install Workflow Manager Farm). I understand why from a tenant installation perspective, but we are on-premise.
Can someone tell me if I can install Workflow Manager 1.0 (seen you have to now install WM 1.0 Refresh version) on the Central Admin App Server Machine in a 3 tier SharePoint farm. 3 WFE, 4 APP Servers, 1 DB Server and 1 DB Analysis Services Server.
I did test on a test farm 1WFE, 1 APP Server (with CA) and 1 Database Server. We are getting issues with the WFE Server having issues booting up or losing connection - possibly faulty network card. This may in no way be related to the install,
but just in case.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
John.

Yes, you can install WFM on any server in a SharePoint farm.

Do i need another Virtual machine rather than sharepoint server to install workflow manager ?

Hi ,
I have installed sharepoint 2013 on a single server with a built-in-database. And i have installed OWA in another virtual machine. Now i am trying to create a workflow. I have downloaded and installed sharepoint designer and workflow
manager in the sharepoint 2013 itself. Do i need to install workflow manager in another server and make it to communicate with sharepoint server ? And how to email-id in workflow when i tried in sharepoint designer we have select the user. How to allocate
e-mail id for users ?

Creating new VM is choice of your architecture. Workflow Manager only requires below.
Workflow Manager 1.0. Email ID will be automatically picked from the participants from AD.
.NET Framework 4 Platform Update 3 or .NET Framework 4.5
Service Bus 1.0
Workflow Client 1.0
PowerShell 3.0
The following additional requirements must be met before you can run Configuration Wizard to configure Workflow:
Instance of SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1, SQL Server Express 2008 R2 SP1, or SQL Server 2012.
TCP/IP connections or named pipes must be configured in SQL Server.
Windows Firewall must be enabled.
Ports 12290 and 12291 must be available.

What is the windows server 2013 license version than I need to install workflow manager 1.0

what is the windows server 2013 license version than I need to install workflow manager 1.0?
enterprise or standard? can I install it on datacenter?
please provide me with the reference.
thanks

Workflow Manager will work with either SharePoint Enterprise or Standard. It doesn't work well with Foundations since it depends on User Profiles to pass user identity to the workflow. And yes you can install it on Windows Server datacenter edition.
Here are the supported platforms for installation
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj193487(v=azure.10).aspx
This article talks about integration with SharePoint and states that Foundation is not supported, but it doesn't differentiate between the Server editions, so any edition will do.

I am pretty sure that DSC requires WFM. If I am right then WFM is in use and cannot be replaced unless you specify another logfile location. Look at the DSC and see how to specify a new log location that can be used for the install.
If the MSU is built correctly then you will require a reboot to update the install.
Try just doing WFM alone until you work it out.
I also recommend posting in the Management forum for any other issues that might be known.

DSC is a work in progress so many things have to be worked out as you need them. Be sure to get the latest kits. I think we are at Wave 9 now.

But i believe the problem is with either the product name or product id, since it installs three products on one invoke, i dont know which product id we need to give. i tried with all the above 3 product ids. Its not working.
I think by default DSC powershell runs under system account "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM".

Trouble in installing Workflow Manager 1.0

Hi All,
When I tried to install Workflow Manager 1.0 , I got the following error.
I downloaded the Web Platform Installer and installed it.
Still I get the same error.
Please help me to troubleshoot the error.

Hi Muthukumar;
You must ensure Web Platform Installer version should be same on the server where you are downloading Workflow Manager 1.0 files and on the server where you are installing Workflow Manager 1.0 files for offline installation scenarios.Workflow Manager 1.0
Installation requires valid Web Platform Installer Version on Workflow Server.
If you want to install Workflow Manager 1.0 on servers without internet connectivity, you will run into problems with the Web Platform Installer, the only tool Workflow Manager 1.0 can be installed with.
There is a command line tool of Web Platform Installer, where you can download the installation files and all of its dependencies to a internet accessible machine, move it over to one of your servers and install it in offline mode.
Take the following steps to do so:
Download the
WebPICMD.exe Package from the MS Download Center and unzip it to a folder (C:\WebPICMD\WebPICMD.exe in our case)
Open a Command Prompt, navigate to the folder you extracted the tool and execute the following command:
WebpiCmd.exe /Offline /Products:WorkflowManager /Path:D:\Temp\WorkflowManager\
This will initiate a download with all the related components into the provided folder.
Copy the WebPICMD.exe to the server where you want to install the WorkflowManager 1.0, in our example to
D:\Temp\WebPICMD\WebPICMD.exe
Copy the downloaded files to your server where you want to install the WorkflowManager 1.0, in our example to
D:\Temp\WorkflowManager
Open a Command Prompt, navigate to the folder you copied the WebPICMD.exe tool and execute the following command:
WebPICMD.exe /Install /Products:WorkflowManager
/AcceptEULA /SuppressReboot
/Log:./WorkflowManager.log /Xml:file:///D:\Temp\WorkflowManager\feeds\shadow-webproductlist.xmlThis will initiate the installation of the Workflow Manager 1.0 and its dependencies. The outcome of the installation will be logged to the WorkflowManager.log
file. The above line will suppress reboots and will accept the license terms automatically.
A log file will be created at the following path, where you can see the process and the warnings/errors/information about the installation:
%localappdata%\microsoft\web platform installer\logs\webpicmd
You could also go through these helpful

Please revert back for any further help.

Getting Error while Installing Workflow Manager 1.0 on Sharepoint 2013 On-Prem server

I am trying to install Workflow Manager 1.0 on our SharePoint Server 2013 which is On-Prem installation. The SharePoint Server 2013 is functioning correctly. During the installation of Workflow Manager 1.0 on the same SharePoint 2013 server, I receive the
following message: "Port number 9355 specified for HTTPS Port is blocked" I have checked our firewall Inbound rules and this port is not blocked.
Any reason why this could be happening or did I miss anything?
Thanks Snehal H.Rana SharePoint Consultant

I am happy to inform you that I was able to resolve this error. I configured this on different ports other than 9355. We need to modify 2 files called "ClusterManifest.1.0.xml" and "ClusterManifest.current.xml" in c:\Program
Files\Windows Fabric\Bin. They were pointing to older FQDN under following node:
<NodeList>
<Node NodeName="yourserverfqdn" IPAddressOrFQDN="yourserverfqdn" IsSeedNode="true" NodeTypeRef="DefaultNodeType" />
</NodeList>
These files won't let you edit directly in notepad so you will need to make a copy of these files (just in case). Open up the notepad as "Run As Administrator". Drag these files to the notepad. After you are done editing, save these as original
names but make sure that the extension is .xml
You will also need to do IISReset
That did the trick for me.
Thanks Snehal H.Rana SharePoint Consultant

Best Practice on installing Workflow Manager on a separate box

Hi,
We are installing Workflow Manager 1.0 to work with our SP2013 farm, which is fairly simple.
However we anticipate a significant amount of workflow work in the future.
Could you please share your thoughts/experience/lessons learnt on Having WF Manager on a separate box compared to having it on the same box as SP2013 Front end server in terms of
1. Scalability
2. Stability
3. Ease of Installation/Management
etc
Thanks a lot.

HT4722 How many computers can you install Final Cut on

How many computers can you install Final Cut on with one license or purchase?

This is an excerpt from the FCPX license, available here.
http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/FinalCutPro.pdf
2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.
A. Mac App Store License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License and as permitted by the Mac App Store Product Usage Rules set forth in the App Store Terms and Conditions (http:// www.apple.com/legal/itunes/ww/) (“Usage Rules”), you are granted a limited, non-transferable, non- exclusive license:
to download, install, use and run for personal, non-commercial use, one (1) copy of the Apple Software directly on each Apple-branded computer running OS X (“Mac Computer”) that you own or control; and
(ii) if you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, to download, install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software for use either: (a) by a single individual on each of the Mac Computer(s) that you own or control, or (b) by multiple individuals on a single shared Mac

How many computers can you install the micro soft Office 2011 on.

How many computers can you install the Micro Office 2011 on?

A full (retail, single license key) MS Office license permits you to install Office on 1 desktop Mac + 1 portable (laptop) Mac provided 1) you own both computers and 2) you do not use Office simultaneously on both computers.
Beyond that, it depends on the specific Office package you have. Some packages have more specific terms.
For example, if you have MS Office Home & Student 2011 you will have 3 activation keys permitting you to install it on 3 computers, period. (Not 1 desktop + 1 laptop per license key.)
The license key pertains to the computer (device) not the number of user accounts on the device. So, if you have 2 or 3 or more user accounts on your iMac you only need to use 1 license key for the iMac itself. You apply the license key (activate the software) only in the admin account under which you installed the software. Once you activate the software in the primary admin account, Office will be usable in all user accounts on the iMac. Do not try to activate the software under other user accounts on the same Mac - if you do you will unnecessarily use up more license keys.
