Deploying Project Server 2013 to an Existing SharePoint 2013 Farm

We recently deployed the following for our new SharePoint 2013 farm:
2 SQL server (alwaysOn config)
2 application servers
2 WFE
1 SQL for Dedicated Search
2 WFE for Dedicated Search
2 Applications Servers for Dedicated Search.
After purchasing a company that uses Project 2013 heavily we are now looking at deploying Project 2013 using our new 2013 SharePoint farm.  My question is what is the recommended additional servers that would needed to be deployed to the existing farm?
Thanks,
Ric

Ric,
It really depends on what your current dataset is, and what the load on your SharePoint Server/Project Server.  Technically, Project Server can just sit on top of your WFE and App Servers for SharePoint. You do not need a complete separate server group
for Project Server alone, unless there is a special reason to do so.

  • Server 2012 R2 support in SHarePoint 2013

    When 2012 R2 is released will SharePoint 2013 be able to run on it? i've seen there are issues with Preview currently....my server admins would rather build machines in r2 for long term but asked my preference.

    I would say the Windows Server 2012 R2 does support SharePoint 2013 installation. It's simply because the R2 is still built on the foundation platform of Windows Server 2012. Microsoft hasn't officially published the compatibility of Windows Server 2012
    R2 for SharePoint 2013 though.

  • Need to Setup Project Server in existing SharePoint 2013 farm

    Hi 
    I have already SharePoint 2013 farm having  4-WFE Servers, 2-Application Servers, 3-dedicated Search Servers, 2-DB servers (Clustering enabled). Now I want to add one more App server having Project Server 2013 in this existing farm environment so Please
    check the below steps. Please let me know If I am wrong in the approach.
    Need to install PS 2013 on all the WFE, Applications and Search Servers.
    Need to Run Sharepoint wizard on all the servers one by one. (Is it mandatory to run wizard on each server or should run only on application servers only)
    The project Server service should run only on application servers.
    Regards, Pankaj Waghmare - MCTS | Consultant

    Hello,
    Those steps are correct for high level :) One thing you might need to do is after installing Project Server on all the servers is apply the same CU / SP to Project Server as SharePoint (using the Project Server equivalent patch) so Project Server and SharePoint
    are patched at the same level. I would do this after installing PS2013 and before you run the wizard on each server.
    I would ensure you test this on a non prod farm first and ensure you have a roll back plan in place.

  • What are the steps to change existing sharepoint 2010 farm database server to a new server

    Hi
    i have a sharepoint 2010 farm and backend with sqlserver2012 standard edition on windows server 2008 r2 server
    now what are the steps to if  want to  connect this farm to a new sql server 2012 on windows server 2012 server and remove this existing server
    adil

    You have two options:
    Use a SQL Alias and you will then need to swing all databases over to the new SQL Server
    Don't use a SQL Alias and swing all but the Configuration and Administration databases to the new SQL Server, and individually re-configure Service Applications/Web Applications to use the new SQL Server. This will force you to keep the old SQL Server around.

  • SQL Server 2014 PowerPivot installation on SharePoint 2013

    Hello:
    I saw many references on the topic but one thing is still not clear.
    Is
    spPowerPivot.msi installer for SharePoint 2013 is another package that has to run after the
    “SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint” installation on SharePoint server via SQL Server setup?
    Or spPowerPivot.msi is the same thing as “SQL Server PowerPivot
    for SharePoint” from SQL Server setup?
    I run
    spPowerPivot.msi on my SharePoint server, but don't see the SQL Server PowerPivot Configuration manager created.
    Please advise
    -Jeff

    SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint is the SQL Server Analysis Services Tabular Mode instance with the instance name POWERPIVOT. The spPowerPivot.msi installs the proxy that connects to the SQL Server Analysis Services Tabular Mode instance. You run the
    SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint installation on the server that you want to run the SQL Server Analysis Services Tabular Mode instance whereas you run the spPowerPivot.msi installation on all of the servers in your SharePoint farm (except the database
    server.) For SQL Server 2014, this is
    a separate download and is not included in the SQL Server 2014 installation media.

  • Visual studio 2013 cannot connect to SharePoint 2013 site

    I am developing a SharePoint 2013 provider-hosted app (MVC web application). When I am trying to deploy the application on the SharePoint dev site, I am getting below
    error :
    Cannot connect to the SharePoint site: . Make sure that this is a valid URL and the SharePoint site is running on the local computer. If you moved this project to
    a new computer or if the URL of the SharePoint site has changed since you created the project, update the Site URL property of the project.
    I also checked the SharePoint site url is working in the browser on my development machine.
    If any one of you have faced or/and resolved a problem like this one, please let me know.
    Thanks.
    Satish

    Hi,
    1. Please check if the Site URL is right in Visual Studio 2013 project.
    2. Try to use the administrator account of the developer site to connect.
    3. Reinstall Office Developer Tools.

  • InfoPath 2013 attachment limitation in sharepoint 2013

    Dear Expert,
    I would like to plan the file attachment in InfoPath form, I'm not sure what's the file limitation. 
    I will plan to use SharePoint Server 2013. Please suggestion.
    or send the reference.
    Thank you

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to know the file limitation for the InfoPath attachment.
    By default, the limitation is 4096 kb, however, we can increase the limitation in the
    Central Administration->General Application Settings->Configure InfoPath Forms Services->in the
    User Sessions, increase the number for  the Maximum size of user session data
    option.
    There is an article about increase the upload limitation, though it is for SharePoint 2010, it works for SharePoint 2013.

  • Installing Project Server 2013 as a private cloud

    hi,
    as far as I know ,SharePoint 2013 is designed to support cloud computing.Moreover, I saw several Microsoft partners that provide project server as a SAAS.
    now I was wondering if is there any instruction for lunching a project server as a private cloud?

    Hello Sam-Net
    Not sure what your question is? 
    If you install SharePoint 2013 on premise and expose it to the cloud, and then want different instance of project server running you would  use PowerShell to setup TENACY.  This is what some of the partners do for hosting project server.
    If you install SharePoint 2013 in Azure?  It would be the same answer.  You have to setup using PowerShell and creating Tenants. 
    Cheers!

    thanks Michael,
    it's not just about multi-tenancy. as far as I know, software as a service(SAAS) has several specifications such as multi-tenancy , on-demand , Rapid elasticity ,Self-service ,...
    for example a customer wants to have a separate servers for app and front end. if we add 2 new servers to our farm and run configuration wizard, all the services in the farm will stop and other customers will be dissatisfied with this situation.
     On the other hand, if we provide a farm with a great amount of RAM ,CPU and Hard drive, and for example run 3 instance of pwa (multi-tenancy) how is it possible to limit the amount of hardware for each instance?
    these are just one those issues which we will face when tend to lunch a project server to service customers as a cloud
    would you please guide me if I'm wrong
    Best,

  • Slow Project Server with Project Permission Mode

    Hi,
    I have a Project Server 2013 Installation with Project Server Permission Mode.
    The Sharepoint 2013 topology is composed of one application tier, one searh tier and two web fronts.
    The issue is that Project Server is responding slowly especially when it is about to :
    - logon
    - display security groups (AddModifyGroup.aspx).
    I enabled the development dashboard and I turned on network mon to follow any suspect communication but nothing seems to be related to this slowness.
    Any Help ?

    You can also review the Hardware and Software requirements http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee683978(v=office.15).aspx by verifying the datasets from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161198(v=office.15).aspx
    Also please check if the Distributed Cache Service is running on the server where the Project Server Services are running http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219572(v=office.15).aspx
    You have also mentioned that Search is configured in the farm. Is Project Service running on the server where Search is configured? If Project Services is running on a server where Search Services is also running it would be good to check if the server is
    running out of memory when Crawl is running. (Look for noderunner.exe in Task Manager)

  • SharePoint 2013 Configuration Wizard failure while joining a WFE to the existing server farm.

    Dears,
    I've been troubleshooting an issue while trying to join a new WFE server to an existing SharePoint 2013 farm.
    Issue Description: 
    When we run the wizard it runs for almost 30 to 45 minutes on the step 3 itself and eventually fails at the end with an error message "Failed to connect to the configuration Database..... Value doesn't fall within the expected range"
    First I thought this is a connectivity issue with the config DB and monitored the complete operation very closely after checking the permissions and SQL server connection and happened to see that the server was able to connect to the farm and all the web
    applications and the related solutions were pushed to the server and apparently the failure of the Wizard at below point: Followed by the error, all web sites and solutions were retracted and a complete roll back happens. 
    Can someone pls help me here at the earliest as I'm stuck ???

    Hi Pradeep, this wasn't due to any permission issue.. I was trying with the farm account which is a local admin group member as well as being a member of IIS_WPG.. on a continues investigation happened to find that the IIS config file was corrupted and which
    encountered issues in the creation of app pool.. I had to tweak around some settings with the config file by considering the other WFE as a reference.. this actually fixed the issue..

  • Error while uninstalling and then re installing sharepoint 2013 on same server(windows server 2012)

    Hi All,
    I have installed SharePoint 2013 prerequisites successfully on windows server 2012. While installing SharePoint 2013, system struck on for several minutes. I have restart my system manually. Later I then installed prerequisites which showed a successful
    lessage. But When I try to install SharePoint 2013. I am getting the following error:
    trial editions and lincensed editions of SharePoint, Project Server, and Office Web apps products may not be installed on the same server.
    I am unable to find solution for this issue. what is the solution for this?
    Thanks in Advance..

    To be honest, the quickest thing you could do (and what I would do regardless) is re-build the server (re-install Windows).

    I am currently working for a multinational who has SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Edition installed, 2 WFE SERVERS, 3 APP SERVERS, 1 DB SERVER. They also installed SharePoint 2013 Exterprise recently.
       Microsoft have recently come in and set up the SharePoint 2013 Search Server to crawl content in SharePoint 2010 as the replacement search to SharePoint 2010 Search. So they have gone through process of certificates and permissions
    setups I guess. I was told it was working, but recently failed. When I type in the search box on a web site for SharePoint 2010 I get the message:
             The search request was unable to connect to the Search Service.
    I checked the Event log and the Critical error (in Task Category:Timer) I get is the notorious: 
    The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.CrawlReportJobDefinition (ID fa882704-80d9-415b-9b9d-eae5e9bdefd4) threw an exception. More information is included below.
            The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration   
            component. Verify that the administration component 'e9172a05-22ec-4904-9508-
            e5431a180c2b' in search application 'Search_Service_Application' is in a good state and
            try again.
    I know administration component is the crawler. I am assuming this is permissions.
    The SharePoint 2013 Search Server is picking up SharePoint 2010 site collections items fine i.e. The SharePoint 2013 search shows items from 2010 as expected.  
    On the SharePoint 2010 central admin box the search service enabled and running (checked with powershell). (SharePoint Server Search 14)
    The Search Service id: e9172a05-22ec-4904-9508-e5432a180c2b
    I also get the message in event log for gatherer on SharePoint 2010 CA and Search Server:
           Could not access the Search database. A generic error occurred while trying to access the database to obtain   
           the schema version info.
           Context: Application 'e9172a05-22ec-4904-9508-e5431a180c2b'
    Details:
                (0x80040e09)
    Is this permissions to delete something from crawler??????
    I would appreciate if someone could help on this. I have tried to be as concise as possible.
    Thanks.

    It was a case that someone had fiddled with the Service App Associations. Hadn't ticked SharePoint 2013 search. Was still point at 2010. Thanks.
    The SharePoint 2013 Search works correctly for SharePoint 2010.
    Can someone confirm that the Search Service Application on SharePoint 2010 still needs to exist and hence SharePoint Server Search 14 Service still needs to be running? I am guessing it would as you search from 2010 interface not 2013. I am getting a critical
    error in the Event Viewer:
    CrawlReportJobDefinition (Id <SharePoint 2010 Crawler>) 
    The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component <crawler id> in search application "Search Service Application" is in a good state and try
    again.
    I think this is related to the fact we have SharePoint 2013 doing the search instead of 2010.
    Any ideas?

    Did you create a new web application or modify an existing web application?
    I would start by checking the ULS logs, maybe there is an incorrect setting within one of the web.config files, or SQL permissions.
    Also, as suggested above, check application pools are running.
    This blog post is a great guide for setting up FBA, check it through to make sure you haven't missed any steps:
