Configure High Availability in SharePoint 2013 having Single Farm

Hi All,
we are having 2 SharePoint server having single farm and two databases in cluster.
we need to Configure HA and NLB between these 2 SharePoint Servers.
Please Help..!!

If the database servers are in a cluster then all you need to do is configure Load balancing for the SharePoint servers. Review this site for more information:

SQL 2012 AlwaysON High Availability for SharePoint 2013

Our Company have 2 Webfront Servers for Sharepoint 2013 and one Database SQL 2012 Server.
We got one more Server & we don't have Storage so need to configure Always On.
There are Some Confusions:
1- Database Server is in production, so how much down time required to Achieve the AlwaysOn?
2- What are the Changes need to be done on Production Server?
3- What are the Steps to be followed While Configuring new Database Server?
Regards,

Hi Genius1985,
According to your description, you want to configure a SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn Availability Group for your database, right?
Question 1: Database Server is in production, so how much down time required to achieve the AlwaysOn?
There is no a certain downtime for AlwaysOn, it depends on the configuration of our AlwaysOn Availability Group, normally it can be several seconds or minutes. In order to understand why there is downtime for SQL Server with Microsoft Clustering, please refer
to the following article:
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1882/understanding-why-there-is-still-downtime-for-sql-server-with-microsoft-clustering/
Question 2 and 3: What are the Changes need to be done on Production Server? What are the Steps to be followed While Configuring new Database Server?
Since AlwaysOn Availability Groups require a Windows Server Failover Cluster, we first need to add the Windows Failover Cluster Feature to all the machines running the SQL Server instances that we will configure as replicas.
Once the Windows Server Failover Cluster has been created, we need to proceed with enabling the AlwaysOn Availability Groups feature in SQL Server 2012. This needs to be done on all of the SQL Server instances that we will configure as replicas in our
Availability Group.
For more details about Step-By-Step: Creating a SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn Availability Group, please refer to the following article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/canitpro/archive/2013/08/20/step-by-step-creating-a-sql-server-2012-alwayson-availability-group.aspx

No choice we have to migrate to SQL Server 2012. The SQL Server 2012 SP1 version of the add-in and report server, add support for SharePoint Server 2013
QL Server 2008 R2 is server + Cal or Processor bases
Standard = $7,499 to $29,996
Enterprise = $28,749 to $229,992.
SQL Server 2012 User Server + Cal or Core-Based
Standard = $7,171 to $28,688
Enterprise = $13,748 to $137,480
SQL Server 2012 doesn’t cost more than SQL Server 2008 R2 but we have to admit that it contains a high number of significant new features. For the same price we can have a lot of more features in SQL and SharePoint! So if you want to use BI for SharePoint

What are different Data archival approaches available in SharePoint 2013?

I want to know what are the different Data archival approaches available in SharePoint 2013 apart from Record Management?

Record center is the best template available for data archival.
You can also use IRM for Data Archiving
Also I would suggest you to use BLOB stoage which will reduce addional burden on SQL server:

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you failed to create a new farm.
It seems that several issues exist in IIS. Please go to IIS manager > each site > advanced settings > general > ID to see if it is beyond int32 range or includes non-number value. Besides, please reset IIS and reboot the SQL server.
Please have a try to create new farm with power shell.

High availability for Lync 2013 persistent chat server and office web app server

I have 1500 users, need HA in primary data center and DR also. looking for HA and DR solution for persistent chat server and office web app server.
is below correct?
1. 2 persistent chat server in a pool of primary data center and 1 in DR. can this be reduced or any changes?
2. 2 Office web app server in a pool of primary data center and 1 in DR. can this be reduced or any changes?
also do i need HLB for both roles?

1) In Lync Server 2013, there are improvements in both high availability and disaster recovery:
High availability improvements: SQL Server mirroring is used to provide high availability for the Persistent Chat Server content database and Persistent Chat compliance database within a data center (in-site).
Disaster recovery improvements: Persistent Chat Server supports a stretched pool architecture that enables a single Persistent Chat Server pool to be stretched across two sites (that is, a single logical pool in the topology, with servers in the pool physically
located across two sites). SQL Server Log Shipping is used for cross-site disaster recovery.
For more information about high availability and disaster recovery, see
Configuring Persistent Chat Server for High Availability and Disaster Recovery in the Deployment documentation.
2) for HA & DR, you can 2 Office web app server in a pool of primary data center and 1 in DR. and You will need HLB for office web app servers

How to configure Reporting functionality to SharePoint 2013 if RS is already installed as Native mode

Is it possible to publish reports to SharePoint if SQL Server 2012 reporting service is on native mode?
How to do it?
I have SharePoint 2013 and SQL Server 2012. I have created cube and reports with its data tools. This is single server environment.
This is what I have done:
A) I can successfully see from SQL Server installation tool that "Reporting Service-SharePoint" and "Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint Products" are checked.
B) I don't see Reporting Services under the Manage Service Application of the SharePoint Central Admin.
c) When I choose report from reporting service project and I click deploy, it asks Reporting Services Login, but it does not accept admin logins. Server path should be valid.
I got idea from following instruction that I should register and start the Reporting Services SharePoint service
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219068.aspx
C) I tried to run command Install-SPRSService, but it was not recognized cmdlet command.
D) I see from Reporting Service Configuration Manager that Reporting Server Mode is Native. Report Service Status is Started.
Kenny_I

Hi Kenny_I,
Since the release of SQL Server 2012, Reporting Services SharePoint Integrated mode has been changed from a Windows Service to be a SharePoint Shared Service. In this way, Reporting Services Configuration Manager no longer supports Reporting Services SharePoint
mode, and all the configurations of SharePoint mode is completed using SharePoint Central Administration.
In SSRS 2008 R2 or lower version, only one report server (either native mode or SharePoint integrated mode) can be active at one time in one SSRS instance. In SSRS 2012, the report server that runs in SharePoint integrated mode and the report server that
runs in Native mode work separately at the same time in one SSRS 2012 instance. So, in this issue, you don’t need to care about the report server that runs in native mode when you work with the report server that runs in SharePoint mode.
First, please install SQL Server 2012 SP1 which introduces more BI features.
For the issue you encounter when running the commands to register the Reporting Services SharePoint Service, it may occur if you run the commands in the Windows Powershell instead of the SharePoint Management Shell. Please launch the SharePoint Management
Shell by clicking Start-> All Promgrams -> Microsoft SharePoint 2013 Products -> SharePoint 2013 Management Shell. Then, please continue the steps in the following document or blog to create a Reporting Services Service Application:
Install Reporting Services SharePoint Mode for SharePoint 2013
Installing and configuring SQL Reporting services on SharePoint 2013
After a SSRS Service Application is created properly, to deploy the project to the SharePoint integrated mode report server, please see the project property settings in the following document:

The error messages suggested to me that the issue was being caused by our proxy server. I have removed the proxy server from the equation by removing the proxy settings.
I then also tried to navigate to the url in the error messages. When i navigate to https://srv22.domain.com:9355/WorkflowDefaultNamespace/$STS/Windows/ i get a 400 Bad Request. When i change the address to https://srv22.domain.com:9355/WorkflowDefaultNamespace/$sts/Windows/
($sts in Lower Case rather than Upper Case) i get a response from the Workflow server.
I have searched high and low for a solution to this, and cannot find one, can anybody shed any light on the situation.
Thanks in advance
Paul

Hi Paul,

could you please share the upgrade log file, so that we understand the error?
did you reboot your server after the installation of SP1?
also try to clear the Config cache on the servers and then try again?
you can run this command on the server its failing

Is workflow reporting available in SharePoint 2013?

Is there any reporting around workflows for SharePoint 2013? It appears (based on various posts) that there was a link called "View Workflow Reports" available in 2010 but that it was removed for 2013. My customer would like to see statistics
on active workflows, timestamps of approvals, status, phases, number of workflows in process vs. completed, time between steps, etc. Is any of this available in 2013? Thanks.

Hello,
If you want to view the history of a workflow, you can type the URL:
http://team-site-address/Lists/Workflow%20history/AllItems.aspx (please modify the URL to your site address) in the browser and check all the history of the workflow.
Here is the reference link
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/154/t/85644.aspx
Hope this help!
Thanks!

How to configure high availability and disaster recovery? And user authenticate

We are in the process of rolling out our online help which was created using Robohelp. In our initial rollout we will provide access to the files via our Client Portal which requires authentication. We are also planning for our next version where we intend to implement Robohelp server functionality.
Our IT team is looking at options on how to configure for High Availability and Disaster Recovery. It seems that Robohelp doesn't have any built-in functionality in this area. In addition we require that our users authenticate. The options for the server version seem to be more internally focused and we would need to solution the authentication using a third party.
Would anyone be willing to share their approach in these areas? Would you be willing to participate in a conference call with our IT Professionals?

Hello again
I see my good friend Peter replied to your LInkedIn post where you cross-posted the same question. For those here that have no clue what Peter stated, here it is:
What are you seeking to recover? Your projects? Your outputs? This sounds like a question more appropriate to Disaster Recovery consultants and far wider reaching than RoboHelp. To me it seems like a question your IT people should be asking direct to such consultants who would expect a fee for their advice.
I would agree with Peter's reply.
I'll also go further and ask what exactly is being done in this realm for the application? Help files generally are there to support an application on the server. So whatever you are doing for the applciation should also be able to be used for the WebHelp, FlashHelp or web based AIR Help files, no?
Cheers... Rick

Slide libraries are no longer available in SharePoint 2013, what to plan when upgrading from 2010 to 2013?

What will happen to the existing 2010 libraries when we try to upgrade them to SharePoint 2013? What can we do to them now to prevent them from breaking since we are currently on SharePoint 2010?
-Kash

Hi,
If you're using a third-party tool, you can map the slide libraries to standard document libraries.
Even if is no the subject, you can still create Slide libraries in SharePoint 2013, please see : http://techtrainingnotes.blogspot.fr/2012/11/finding-missing-sharepoint-2013-slide.html.

Fetching workflow status from Extended Properties in SharePoint 2013 sequential workflow (Farm solutions) option

HI,
I am using VS 2012, I have selected the option "sharepoint sequential workflow (Farm solution) option and not the workflow App model.
Earlier in SharePoint 2010, the approver status column can be got from ExtendedProperties["TaskStatus"] and which contained either "#" or "@" as its value.
However, in SharePoint 2013, the ExtendedProperties does not contain the "TaskStatus" key. In the quickwatch, i was able to see the value as "#" associated to some guid key. In the debug mode,i can see the below:
(new System.Collections.Hashtable.HashtableDebugView(TaskPropertiesForManagerAfter.ExtendedProperties)).Items[12]
But I’m not sure how to get to it from the code?
How to retrieve the Task Status using ExtendedProperties in SharePoint 2013?

Having problems getting SPD 2013 installed on my laptop because of a trial of O365, but I know in SPD 2010 you could find the BCC fields, etc... in the Advanced properties, it wasn't directly available via the common interface. I know 2013 is very
different from 2010, and if I can get it to install correctly, I will update, but look for an advanced property, or an XML view where you can find the FROM: field.

Installation of SharePoint 2013 three-tier farm installation

Is it an actual requirement that WFE1 and APP1 be separate servers (virtual or physical), or is recommended best practice?
And more than that, I was going to make DC1, WFE1, and APP1 all reside on the same virtual server. I'll take the spitballs, but again the question is: does this violate a software/hardware system requirement as well as recommended best practice,
or just the latter?
Thanks.

For SharePoint 2013, it is
not supported to install SharePoint on a DC. While you can also place all VMs on a single virtual server host, you do need to take into consideration that you're putting all of your eggs in a single basket. If that host fails, so does everything with it.
Consider clustering your virtual hosts with shared storage to at least provide failover capabilities.

Configuring infopath forms in SharePoint 2013

The below is the error i am getting when i am tried to publish infopath form to a sharepoint list using WCF
A query to retrieve form data cannot be completed because this action would violate cross-domain restrictions.
If this form template is published to a SharePoint document library, cross-domain access for user form templates must be enabled under InfoPath Forms Services in SharePoint Central Administration, and the data connection settings must be stored in a UDC file
in a data connection library in the same site collection.
If this is an administrator-approved form template, the security level of the form must be set to full trust, or the data connection settings must be stored in a UDC file by using the Manage data connection files option under InfoPath Forms Services in SharePoint
Central Administration.
An entry has been added to the Windows event log of the server. Log ID:6932
Correlation ID:a24eb39c-7a50-4022-af09-f4e99b531858

Hi ,
For resolving your issue , you can do as the followings:
Make sure that 'Allow user form templates to use authentication information contained in data connection files' in Central Admin is enabled
Create a Data Connection Library in your site
Convert the Data Connection to .udcx file
Give the path to data connection library
