Hi,
Would I be able to use SharePoint Foundation to create a public Internet facing site? In addition, where can I find tutorial on how to create public Internet facing sites?
Thanks a lot!

Issue with Internet facing site and Intranet sites

Hello All,
I have migrated the SP2013 environment using database attach method for our intranet site. We also working on the
SP2013 Internet facing site using the same content database as Internet site.
When I extended the web application for Internet facing site, zone to
Internet and these are the URLs: The Intranet website URL is
https://intranet.contoso.com/SitePages/home.aspx (Root Site) and
SP2013 Internet facing site http://contoso.com (not a root site and publishing site template)
However, I found on the http://contoso.com users can still access the
http://contoso.com/SitePages/home with same content as Intranet.
After done some Google search, bloggers mentioned to have move https://intranet.contoso.com/SitePages/home.aspx to another site collection so that Internet facing site can exist root site.
Can 2 we have to two root sites in same web application? I need the content database to be same so that managers can check
Internet facing site and after signing into SP2013, redirects to
Internet site.
Which is the best option to achieve this with same content database.
Please advice.
Regards,
Aroh

Business Requirement:
Content Managers want to control internal Internet site (https://intranet.contoso.com) (with default zone, port 443, Root site) and also want to have SP2013 Internet site (with Internet zone
http://www.contoso.com (not a root site and publishing site template)), Anonymous access at Web Application level. I configured the site architecture
to have intranet zone as default zone and extended Web Application for Internet facing site with Anonymous site. This the current site architecture
Because content managers do not want to duplicate public site (Internet facing site) with will be shared with some lists that are stored in intranet site.
For e.g. a sub site named “News and Events” will be shared with Public site as well as Internet users. Therefore, if a manger wants to update a list in the public site, it should reflect in intranet site as well. Thus, managers
don’t want to have separate database but same content database.
Problem:
I have extended web application to have different Internet zone, the site URL looks this: http://www.contoso.com/sites/public with publishing template and Anonymous access. Managers want to have public site URL to be just
http://www.contoso.com and not   http://www.contoso.com/SitePages/Home.aspx. As I am using path based site collection for extending site collection, I am
getting this URL http://www.contoso.com/SitePages/Home.aspx
We also tried host named site collection, but it does not provide anonymous access and keep on asking for user credentials.
Q1: We want to have Intranet and Public site with same content database as per business requirements, Shall I following link       http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/81172/moving-content-db-for-a-site-collection-to-another-db-server?
Q2: Because I am constrained that I don’t want to have separate web application, (I know, its not regular requirement), how could achieve this requirements?
Q3: Do have to completely re-design web site architecture, with
www.contoso.com as main web application, then copy Intranet site collection and move this to
www.contoso.com/intranet using
Move-SPSite command
Any kind of pointer and help will be highly appreciated as I am struggling for 2 weeks to solve this.

Move Internet facing site and remove Exchange site

Background:
I am running Exchange 2010 in native mode
I have multiple AD sites connected via WAN
I have two sites each with an Exchange CAS, HT, Mailbox server and internet connections
I have one Edge server in the DMZ at the internet facing site A
All mail currently flows in/out through site A via connectors
OWA is currently hosted on the CAS/HT server at site A
I have installed a new Edge server in the DMZ of site B and cloned the configuration.
I am planning the move of the internet facing site to the new site where the other Exchange CAS/HT server resides.
Once the mail flow is occurring correctly in/out site B, I need to move all mailboxes to site B and shut down the Exchange server at site A.
Questions:
When I create the Edge Subscription at the new site, it offers to create a new send connector. The CAS/HT server at site B already has a send connector to site A. Will the new send connector cause mail flow problems if it is pointing to
the new Edge server that is not yet updated on public DNS? I am trying to do this in stages and I am not ready to change mail flow to site B internet.
What needs to happen to move OWA to the Exchange server at site B?
Once site B is handling OWA, all mail flow, and all mailboxes have been moved to that site, can I simply shut down the site A Exchange server?
Thanks for any input on how best to plan this move. If there is any documentation for this specific scenario, I work well from instructions but have not seen anything on the internet.

1. Sending can happen from both sites, regardless of where your MX records point. In fact, you don't need an MX record to send email - just to receive. So the new send connector in Site B won't cause issues with mail flow - messages will
go out B and come in A until you rehome your MX record.
2. In order to move OWA to Site B, your external records for your OWA site need to point to the external IP address that will connect to the Site B CAS (and hopefully, you have it behind a firewall of some sort).
3. Not quite - you need to move your OAB generation to the new site, and make sure that all CAS virtual directories in the new site are configured to handle the connections that currently go to Site A. See the following for what you need to do
to decommission your Site A Exchange servers - but where it says "Exchange 2013", think "Site A Exchange servers":

Access denied in internet facing site for xlsx files

Hello,
for xlsx files, the web site responds with access denied. I 've read the article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2498047 but I don't understand what we should do in resolution <1>.
Just give read permission to this document library? to Whom? If I get to (web site) document library permissions/settings/anonymous user, it just has Add/Edit/Delete/View - there isn't any read permission
It's an internet facing site, so our concern is security.
Thank you
Christos

Hi Christos,
Here's a good post on what you're looking to do in order to make step 1 of
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2498047/en-us possible.
http://www.topsharepoint.com/enable-anonymous-access-in-sharepoint-2010
Once anonymous is enabled for the entire site, from within the permissions for the library, click on Stop inherting permissions, then click on anonymous access, off the ribbon, click anonymous access, then click view items, then click ok and allow to
view items, if that is all you want to allow.

Exchange Server 2010 Mailflow between Internet Facing-Site and No Internet Facing-Site

Hi all,
My environment there are two sites, Internet Facing-Site and No Internet Facing-Site.
The mail flow between them, it isn't working. The messages stuck in the queue.
Default Receive Connector No internet facing-site is configured, bellow:
Defaul....
- Transport layer....
-Basic Authentication...
- Exchange Server Authentication.
- Integrated windows....
Configuration the Internet Facing-Site, bellow:
From intenet
- Transport layer....
-Basic Authentication...
- Integrated windows....
And i configured a new receive connector on the Internet Facing-Site, follow bellow:
Sites
- Transport layer....
-Basic Authentication...
- Exchange Server Authentication.
- Integrated windows....
But, the messages yet stay stuck in the queue.
Queue error:
451 4.4.0 Primary target IP address responded with: “421 4.2.1 Unable to connect.” Attempted failover to alternate host, but that did not succeed. Either there are no alternate hosts, or delivery failed to all alternate hosts.
I'm needing help, pls.

Please check SMTP traffic filtering/scanning enabled on the router/firewall. You can telnet even if the SMTP
traffic filtering/scanning enabled on the router/firewall. But emails will not pass through if the configuration is incorrect.
May be speed between sites causing this issue (not sure). Anyway please try changing the Tarpitinterval as a test.
To see the current setting "Get-ReceiveConnector | Select name,tarpitinterval "To set new value "Set-ReceiveConnector “<Connector-Name>”
–TarPitInterval:00:00:010"
Try restarting "MSexchange-Transport-sevice" on both servers as well
Can you send email one-way or
both ways not working?

Suggestions for most efficient way to create a second app or site with minor rebranding

I've been asked to create a new Foundation 2010 ite that's going to be 90% the same site as one for another division. The current website uses custom masterpages and some other customization. My understanding is that the differences are going to be a different
URL and some minor branding stuff. THey are external presence sites. I don't believe it's using search or much else in the way of services, custom wsps, etc. Very simple sites.
I'm thinking of backing up the dbs, restoring using different mdf/ldf and db names, creating a new app and attaching, but not sure if the GUIDs will conflict. I'm also thinking that what the masterpages call in _layouts may need to be changed, which should
be pretty simple.
Anything I'm overlooking?
Also, apologies for using apps and sites interchangeably, I'm aware of the differences. I was actually asked to create a new site and assign a new URL to it, but if that's doable it sounds more complex to me.
Thanks,
Scott

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to create a second app or site with minor rebranding.
I recommend to create a test environment for existing production enviroment.
For more information, you can refer to:

I cannot create a new business catalyst site with Dreamweaver CC 2014. The error message states that Dreamweaver cannot connect with server, try again later. How can I fix this problem?

I cannot create a new Business Catalyst site with Dreamweaver CC 2014 (Mac). The error message states that Dreamweaver cannot connect with server, try again later. In addition, I am also unable to load remotely a previously created Business Catalyst site as it says there is something wrong with my username or password. However when I put my password in and press test connection, it says it has connected successfully. What is going wrong and how can I fix this problem?
Thanks

Hi Ozy08,
Can you try the solutions mentioned in Re: Can't Login to Business Catalyst within Dreamweaver CS6?
If you still have problems, and you have a purchased version of DW CC, send me your Adobe ID, location, and contact details over a private message. Click my picture and use the message option.

Collaborate on Excel workbooks with Sharepoint Foundation

My company recently implemented SharePoint Foundation 2013 and our shared Excel workbooks are no longer allowing multiple users to collaborate at the same time. We have verified that all the settings and permissions are correct and that checking in and
checking out is not required. Is this something that is not available with SharePoint Foundation? We are using Office 2013 installed on the clients, not Office online. Thank you.

Co-authoring of Excel workbooks is only supported when all the editors are using the Excel web application, not the Excel client application.
From
Microsoft's overview of co-authoring in SharePoint 2013:
>"Co-authoring is easy to use from the end user’s point of view. When a user wants to work on a document in Word 2013, PowerPoint 2013, OneNote 2013, Visio 2013 or one of the Office Web Apps, he or she merely opens it from SharePoint 2013 or SharePoint
Online, as usual. If another user already has the document open, both users can edit the document at the same time.
One exception to this is that users can co-author in Excel Web App only if everyone uses the Excel Web App to access the workbook. If anyone uses Excel 2013 or Excel 2010 (the client application)
to access the workbook, co-authoring in Excel Web App will be disabled for that workbook while it is open in the client application."
>"The Excel 2013 client application does not support co-authoring workbooks in SharePoint 2013 or SharePoint Online. But, the Excel client application uses the Shared Workbook feature to support non-real-time co-authoring workbooks that are stored
locally or on network (UNC) paths."

How to enable editing sites with SharePoint Designer

HI,
when i try edit my web part in SharePoint designer I receive a error:
“Web Site Editing is Disabled. This web site has been configured to disallow editing with SharePoint Designer. Contact your web site administrator for more information.”
I never disable this. When I search for this error, it’s the same thing, how disable editing SharePoint designer… but I want ENABLE.
I try search the line “DisableWebDesignFeatures=wdfopensite” in my Onet.xml files but no exists.
I need edit a file, how? Please explain me, it’s for my work.
thanks
Hernandezz

SharePoint allows you to create custom web parts to help you provide highly customized solutions to your clients/users. The properties of these web parts are added by default but to
further customize the solution, you can also create custom properties. The following example demonstrates how to add a custom dropdown property to a custom webpart.

Creating a Link to a Folder on a Server with Sharepoint Foundation 2013

Hi All,
I am looking to create a link from a page on my Sharepoint site to a folder on one of the companies servers. I have had a lot of trouble with this.
Is there a piece of code I can use to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Ahh. You are using SharePoint Foundation. Yes in that case you would not have that feature.
That makes your requirements bit tricky given I verified creating this link without Publishing feature activated and it did not work and hence I tend to believe that it would not work in your case without that feature.
What you can try is drop the page viewer web part and try configuring it to open your file share and see if that helps. I do not have Foundation otherwise I would have verified this before posting but give it a try and see if it helps.

EZVPN public internet split tunnel with dialer interface

I have a job on where I need to be able to use EZVPN with split tunnel but still have access to an external server from the corporate network as the external server will only accept connections from the corporate public IP address.
So I have not only included the corporate C class in the interesting traffic but also the IP address of the external server.
So all good so far, traffic for the corporate network goes down the tunnel as well as the IP address for the external server.
Now comes the problem, I am trying to send the public IP traffic for the external server out of the corporate network into the public internet but it just drops and does not get back out the same interface into the internet.
I checked out this procedure and it did not help as the route map counters do not increase with my attempt to reach the external router.
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/vpn-client/71461-router-vpnclient-pi-stick.html
And to just test the process, I removed the split tunnel and just have everything going down the tunnel so I can test with any web site. I also have a home server on the network that is reached so I can definitly reach into the network at home which is the test for the corporate network I am trying to reach.

Not sure how that would help as I can connect into the internal network just fine, but I want to hairpin back out the interface and surf the internet from the VPN client. The policy route map makes the L10 the next hop and it has NAT.

Internet access to new sharepoint foundation 2013 site collection

I had sharepoint 2010 installed on my WHS 2011. I successfuly created a new web application and site collection. I created a new SP default site on a port different from 80 and restarted the WHS 2011 default site in IIS. I could
see both the WHS 2011 and SP 2010 default sites from the server, my client PCs, and from my office. Great!
I uninstalled SP Foundations 2010 and installed SP Foundation 2013. I successfully created a web application on the same port I had used for SP Foundations 2010 because the firewall rule on my server and the port forwarding on my router
where already in place. I again restarted the WHS 2011 default site in IIS. I can see the WHS 2011 and SP 2013 Foundation default sites from the server and my client computers. However, I can't see the SP Foundation 2013 site from anywhere outsite
of my home network.
Help someone?

1. I removed the IIS bindings to port 80 for the home server default site. Now, I can reach my share point default site remotely on port 80 by going to
http://x.home server.com and I can reach the home server default site by going to
https://x.homesever.com/remote on port 443.
2. Using Power Shell I created 3 host named site collections. I put the URLs to those collections in the server hot's file and disabled loopback. I can see the sites on hte server. However, how do I make my sites accessible remotely or maybe the correct
term is publicly on computers outside the network?
3. I started down the road of host named site collections because I want to make them accessible remotely or publicly without using the x.home server.com domain name. However, I am starting to think that I am missing an important piece to making this work.
Thanks

Can't open sharepoint site with sharepoint designer 2010

Hi there,
We've installed SP Foundation + SP Server 2010 and set up some sites.
when we tried to open it with SP Designer 2010, it fails and gave us some errors.
opening SPD through site actions :
unable to open website. possible causes:
1. the web server may not have sharepoint server installed
2. the web server may be temporarily out of service
3. if you are connecting through a proxy server, the proxy settings may be incorrect
4. an error may have occured in the web server
opening sharepoint site through SPD:
the folder 'http://mysp.domain.com/site/default.aspx' isn't accessible. the folder may be located in an unavailable location, protected with a password, or the filename contains a / or \.
the thing is ... we have no problem with sharepoint designer 2007.
any idea?

Hi p.andrew,
If you want to open the site use SPD, you should enable the Client Integration for the web application at first.
Here are the steps:
1.
Go to this location : “Central administration” > “Security” > “Specify authentication provider”;
2.
Select the Web Application which you want to edit use SPD (SharePoint Designer 2010), and click the “Default” below the ‘Zone’;
3.
Select the “Yes” radio button
in the Client Integration section, and click the ‘Save’ Button;
4.
Close and re-Open the IE;
5.
Try to Open the site using SPD.

"An error occurred accessing your Microsoft SharePoint Foundation site files" connecting site with SharePoint Designer

I have a SharePoint 2013 environment with 1 AD Server, 1 DB Server and 1 APP Server, with 13 Web Applications running under the SharePoint.
Recently I rebuilted the application because of some infrasctrucutre problems, and I was able to solve all of them, except one. I can't connect to any of those 13 Web Apps with SharePoint Designer. When I try to connect, it always ask credentials, then it
seems like loading the site, then the error appears:
"An error occurred accessing your Microsoft SharePoint Foundation site files. Authors - if you are authoring against
a Web server, please contact the Webmaster for this server's Web site. WebMasters - please see the server's application event log for more details."
I've spent hours troubleshooting it, but none of the information I found was valid. I've already tried to clean the cache, but didn't work. I found plenty of related data of this
error with FrontPage and old versions of SharePoint, but nothing helped. All the Web Apps are SPD-Enabled at Site Collection Administration. I've tried connecting from many different PC's. The 15/LOGS folder doesn't get any data from this error, neither the
Event Viewer.
I really don't know what else to do. Please Help!

I found the answer of my issue was in a .NET Agent installed by NewRelic on the server. I found a connection trouble with Fiddler, then I end up figuring this out:
This can be the result of Real User Monitoring so the first step in troubleshooting would be to disable it and see how it affects the application. The .Net Agent injects snippets of javascript into the header of pages sent to the users browser to measure the
page load time on the user's end.
You can disable RUM by editing newrelic.config and changing this line:
<browserMonitoring autoInstrument="true"/>
to this:
<browserMonitoring autoInstrument="false"/>
