Explorer View SharePoint 2013

I migrated a SharePoint 2007 web application to SharePoint 2013 and ran into a strange situation. Clicking on the
Explorer View does not work. But clicking the Open With Explorer in the ribbon works great.
Here are things I have done so far:
Web Client service enabled on Server (Win2012) and client machine.
Trusted the site in IE.
Running IE 32bit
STSSYNC add-on enabled in IE
Nothing in the ULS or event log. Did I miss any other magic.
Praveen Pandey

I've seen situations where upgrading to a newer version of SharePoint leads to a situation where links are broken because they still point to old functionality, and maybe that's the case here. Because the Open With Explorer ribbon option works great, it
seems unlikely there's a client issue, carefully check what that does compared to clicking on the Explorer View.
Kind regards,

Power View Sharepoint 2013

Hi, I have searched and only found 1 other guy with my problem and his question was unanswered. I have SharePoint 2013 with a Power View report accessing an SSAS 2012 tabular model in Direct Query mode. All of my measures present in Power View except
those referencing a date column. They are very simple measures referring to a SQL backend data source. Is there a Power View limitation that I need to know about? Since Power View is the only tool available for Direct Query mode, this is critical
to my project.
Oldest Date:=MIN([alarm_date])
Test Date:=DATE(2014,06,04)

1. SSAS Tabular can still process MDX queries... so PV is *NOT* the ONLY tool available.
2. what is the question/issue? is MIN([alarm_date]) not returning data correctly? sounds like you might just need to format the fields a little bit (assuming you're using 2014.06.04, which I also assume is actually a STRING, since a numeric value can't have
two decimals)

Hi Deepak,
Please execute the commands below and see if there is any error return:

IE 9 freezes when trying to view in explorer mode.Sharepoint 2013

One of our users is trying to use the "open in explorer" option in ie 9 and when he clicks on the link the browser freezes and nothing happens.
He is using IE 9, Windows 7, the webclient is running. What else can I check?

Try couple of things and see if helps.
1) Try adding site URL to Local Intranet Zone
Internet Explorer --> Tools --> Internet Options --> Security Tab --> Select Local Intranet --> Click Sites Button --> Click Advanced Button --> Type the URL --> Click Add --> If your site is using http then make sure you uncheck
the check box for https (if checked). --> Click OK --> Click OK --> Close the browser and start again.
2) Uncheck Automatically detect settings in IE
Internet Explorer --> Tools --> Internet Options --> Connections Tab --> LAN Settings Button --> Uncheck 'Automatically Detect Settings' checkbox. --> Click OK --> Click OK --> Close the brower and start again to verify.

Range Filter Mode not working and throws error in Power View (SharePoint 2013)

I am using two filters in my power view report.
One for the contact type group and one for year.
First I select multiple contact type group for the first filter and everything works fine.
Then I try to select the year using the range filter and I get this error:

If I select List Filter mode and try to achieve this it works fine no issue but when I use range filter this weird problem occurs. Can't I select multiple values using Range Filter Mode ? Isn't that's what it is intended to do ? Is it a known bug ? Any kind
of prior experience or help would be much appreciated.

This looks like it could be a bug. You could file an issue at

SharePoint 2013 cannot view PDF documents in mobile browser with office web apps

Hi,
I'm receiving the following error when viewing SharePoint 2013 PDF documents in a mobile browser after clicking on the filename:
"Viewing of .pdf files has been disabled in Microsoft Word Mobile Viewer. Please get in touch with your helpdesk."
My Question
Is viewing PDF documents in mobile browsers with Office Web Apps SP1 actually supported? If so, how can I enable it? I've already have pdf viewing working in non-mobile browsers. Word documents open just fine on mobile browsers too.
I'm getting conflicting answers for pdf mobile viewing support from various sources:
You've got Microsoft toting that they've added in PDF viewing on any device for Office Web Apps
http://blogs.office.com/2013/07/03/pdfs-in-the-word-web-app/
A MS support person saying saying it is not supported
http://blogs.technet.com/b/office_web_apps_server_2013_support_blog/archive/2013/12/31/enabling-pdf-previews-in-document-libraries-with-office-web-apps-2013-in-sharepoint-2013-open-link-does-not-work-from-preview.aspx
Another person implying that it should work because you can disable pdf browsing for mobile browsers only
http://blogs.technet.com/b/office_resource_kit/archive/2013/07/24/control-whether-pdfs-open-in-word-web-app-or-the-default-pdf-reader.aspx
What I've tried
When I started looking into this there was a mobile WOPI entry:
Application     : WordPdf
Extension       : PDF
ProgId          :
Action          : mobileView
IsDefaultAction : False
ServerName      : 20SP8
WopiZone        : internal-http
I tried experimenting with tweaking this binding by changing the DefaultAction to true, and even removing it altogether via:
Get-SPWopiBinding -Action "MobileView" -Application "WordPDF" | Remove-SPWopiBinding -Confirm:$false
But I still get the same message.
I removed all the WordPdf bindings and re-added them via:
New-SPWOPIBinding –ServerName "<myserver>" –Application "WordPDF" -AllowHTTP
No dice. In fact the mobileview binding doesn't even come back... but I guess that is a different issue altogether.
Version
SharePoint 2013 (SP1)
Office Web Apps Server (SP1)
Farm Setup
Internal facing only
2 front end servers, 1 app server, 1 office web apps server

I think the PDF support, if it exists, in only in Office 365. Always remember that the Office 365 and on premises versions will never be in sync. On premise is updated using periodic service packs and Office 365 has continuous updates. (I've heard every
10 days.)
In my Office 365 / IE 10 tests, the PDFs open in the browser's default PDF viewer, in my case FoxIt Reader. So I can't prove one way or the other about support in Office Web Apps.

MDX not working in Power View on sharepoint 2013

I have this MDX statement below that should be able to dynamically give me a % of total for any dimension. IN power View (sharepoint 2013)
I am getting an error. It works in Excel and works in the AS browser but will not seem to work in power view. Any ideas on how to rewrite it so that it may work. I am surprised I cannot find anything on this online about this issue.
When you highlight the "#ERROR!" in Power view it gives a long description of
"The Axis Function was indirectly referenced from the context of a statement other than SELECT. Evaluations of Expressions involving this function succeed only
when indirectly triggered by a SELECT statement".
CREATEMEMBERCURRENTCUBE.MEASURES.[Percent
of Total] AS
//Used to get % from total
IIF([Measures].[Total Count] = 0,
NULL,
IIF(isempty( ([Measures].[Total Count],
Axis(1)(0)(Axis(1)(0).Count-
1).Dimension.CurrentMember.Parent
)), 1,
[Measures].[Total Count] / ([Measures].[Total Count],
Axis(1)(0)(
Axis(1)(0).Count-
1 ).Dimension.CurrentMember.Parent))),
FORMAT_STRING="#,##0.00
%;-#,##0.00 %";

Hey Mike, Thank you very much for the answer. Just need a little more help please???
I have added two separate MDX statements that should get the individual % for these two separate dimensions.
1. First does it look correct from what your saying individually. Would you write it different?
2. Next can you show me the MDX that would combine them into 1 measure. Once I can see how these two get combined into 1 measure I should be able to do this for the rest of the dimensions.
3. Will Power View ever allow Axis function? Just seems strange that it works in Excel Pivot but not in Power View.
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Percent] AS
Case
// Test to avoid division by zero.
When IsEmpty ([Measures].[Total Count]) Then Null
// Test for current coordinate being on the (All) member.
When [Status].[Status Name].CurrentMember.Level Is [Status].[Status Name].[(All)] Then 1
Else ( [Status].[Status Name].CurrentMember, [Measures].[Total Count] )
/ ( [Status].[Status Name].CurrentMember.Parent, [Measures].[Total Count] )
End
, FORMAT_STRING ="#,##0.00 %;-#,##0.00 %"
SELECT
{ [Measures].[Total Count],[Measures].[Percent] } ON COLUMNS,
{ [Status].[Status Name].[Status Name]} ON ROWS

End

SharePoint 2013 - document libraries and newsfeeds are visible when viewed using Internet Explorer running on the server but not from any other machine

On a single Windows 2012 R2 server I have installed SQL 2012 and SharePoint 2013 SP1 with the latest update roll ups. When I remote desktop to the server using the farm and site collection admin account and open page http://server_name_here using
Internet Explorer, I'm able to see newsfeeds and document libraries.
If I connected to a separate Windows 7 machine as the farm and site collection admin account and open page http://server_name_here using Internet Explorer, I'm able to view the SharePoint pages except I cannot see any newsfeeds or document libraries.
There's just blank space where they should be. I have repeated this process on several other machines that are not the server and get the same result on every machine (I've tried other servers, desktops, adding the SharePoint site to the trusted sites list
in IE, even using firefox). I'm using the same account as I did when I logged onto the server directly. Any thoughts as to what's going on?
Thanks!

Thanks for the idea, Harsh. What am I looking for?
It is currently set to the default of http://server_name and http://server_name:port_number (the latter is for Central Admin).
When I have access to the server, I have always done so the same way, using http://server_name. This was true when I access it from the desktop of the server itself and when I tried to access it from other desktops and servers (the machines where I had the
issues with the libraries and feeds not showing up). Are there other values I should add?
I have not tried to add http://server_FQDN as we don't plan on using that to access it but if you think it will help I would be happy to add it.

Sharepoint 2013 explorer view error - problem opening this location in file explorer (HTTPS + Win7 Enterprise 64 bit + IE9 32 bit + Office 2007 32 bit)

Hi,
We have a problem using Sharepoint 2013 explorer view. (Error - We're having a problem opening this location in file explorer. Add this web site to your trusted sites list and try again).
I'm using Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit, Office 2007 32 bit and IE9 32 bit. And the sharepoint site is a https site.
Some people in my organization are able to browse and some users getting the above error. (with the same client machine configuration)
If I clear my browser cache, closes the browser and open it then the explorer view is working. But after a minute if I try again I'm getting the above mentioned error. This 1 minute expiration happens is since the first time I have used explorer
view, not since I opened the browser.
I have tried the following on my machine:
1. Modified the web client service to run automatically.
2. Verified the sharepoint site is part of trusted sites (https://*.spsite.com/)
3. Compatibility mode is turned on.
4. Tried adding
AuthForwardServerList in the webclient registry settings under parameters. (restarted the web client)
5. Verified the BasicAuthLevel set to 1 (since we are using SSL). Tried setting the BasicAuthLevel to 2 as well. (restarted the web client)
6. Tried installing software update for web folders (KB907306).
Verified the below on the production server:
1. The web application has the root site collection.
2. It has WebDav Publishing disabled under IIS Web Server feature.
Could some one please help me in resolving this issue?
Thanks.

Hi Deepak,
According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to use "Open with Explorer" in a document library.
For your issue, please verify the following:
ActiveX controls must be enabled in IE.
As you are using Windows 7 Server as the client computer, you must install the Desktop Experience feature from Server Manager.
Make sure there is a working Root site collection.
Install this hotfix for windows 7 work with sharepoint 2013 :hotfixv4.microsoft.com/.../463266_intl_x64_zip.exe

SharePoint 2013 Service Pack 1 broke Explorer View (WebDAV)?

We recently installed SharePoint 2013 Service Pack 1 and have since been troubled by Explorer View. Very often Explorer View doesn't work. This error often appears:
"We're having a problem opening this location in File Explorer. Add this web site to your Trusted Sites list and try again."
The weird thing is that sometimes the Explorer View works just fine, but more often it doesn't. There's are a lot of blogs / topics about this on the internet, but they all didn't help resolve this issue. We use persistent cookies for our STS (AllowSessionCookies
== false), we've added the site to Trusted Sites, made sure WebClient service is running on the clients, cleared cookie caches, etc., etc.
Explorer View works fine when we connect to Office 365 instances. But our local farm has these problems. We use ADFS auth.
Our problems actually resemble the problems this guy had:
http://blog.skadefro.dk/2011/09/sharepoint-2010-and-webdav.html
But his fix doesn't seem to apply to us.
This all started after installing Service Pack 1, so could this be a Service Pack 1 issue?

Hi LZandman,
There is a KB article, it provides that:
Issue 2
Assume that you access the date in a SharePoint Document Library. Then, you click Open with Explorer View when you view a SharePoint Document Library in Internet Explorer 10. In this situation, the operation fails, and you receive one of the following error
messages.
Error message 2
We're having a problem opening this location in File Explorer. Add this web site to your Trusted Sites list and try again.
Notes
These issues occur only when the SharePoint server is configured for cookie-based authentication, such as SharePoint Online.
You may encounter a similar issue when you use other Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) servers that are configured for cookie-based authentication.
Please take a look at :
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2846960/en-us , and download and install the hotfix, compare the result.
I hope this helps.

SharePoint 2013 Open with Explorer View Requirement of Permissions for copy / paste

Hi,
I have a scenario, where I have a document library and it resides in the top level site of the site collection. I have another document library in one of the subsites. What I am trying to do is:
Use Explorer View in the top-level site's document library to copy / paste into Explorer View of the document library in the subsite.
I can't seem to do it. Does it require owner permissions to do so?
Can anyone list the limitations of using explorer view for copy/paste?
techie

Hi,
SharePoint maintain the same access restriction in windows explorer view as it is in web UI. That means if user has contributor permission the he/she will be able to contribute in windows explorer view as well. By default windows explorer view is available
to every users in SharePoint.
Are you getting error message while opening windows explorer view for any document library? Windows explorer view only works in Internet Explorer currently other browsers doesn't support Windows Explorer view.
Here are couple of article on troubleshooting windows explorer view:
Office 365: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2629108?wa=wsignin1.0
There are multiple fix available for different Windows OS and version of IE you are using.

Accessing explorer view updates modified timestamp only on e-mails (.msg) in SharePoint 2013

Hi All,
We've recently discovered that when users are accessing explorer view in various libraries on SharePoint, libraries which hold emails (.msg) are automatically updating all email modified timestamps with the time explorer was accessed and presenting modified
by as the user who initiated explorer view as well.
It is not all documents, only emails (.msg). This happens every time without fail: When accessing a library in explorer view, right clicking and selecting refresh (or adding a new document to the library via explorer) triggers all emails to have their modified
stamp updated. It creates a single version at the time of refresh if version control is on.
Here is the log in the scenario where I refreshed a library in explorer view which has only one email called pings.msg and it has had its modified timestamp updated to the time of refresh:

Any ideas on how to stop this behaviour?

Probably you have an antivirus that scan these files when you are open the library in Explorer View.
Try to configure the antivirus for exclude location.
Hope helps.

Word Viewer will not open documents from Sharepoint 2013 in IE11

I've run into an issue while trying to open documents from SharePoint 2013 after upgrading to IE11. My organization uses Word Viewer with the compatibility pack and all other Word documents (local files, intranet hosted) will open with no problems. When
trying to open a Word document from SharePoint the Word Viewer will open, but the file does not. We have verified that all Windows Updates are installed. We have tried opening SharePoint in Compatibility View and Enterprise Mode. We have re-downloaded the
latest version of Word Viewer and reinstalled it along with the compatibility pack. If we open the SharePoint site in Explorer view and then open a Word document it will open in Word Viewer with no problem. Excel and PowerPoint documents open from SharePoint
with no problem. This is only affecting Word documents with Word Viewer. When using the full version of Word the documents open fine. Within SharePoint we have tried activating the site collection feature "Open Document In Client Applications by Default"
but it made no difference. We're completely at a loss how to make this work as there doesn't seem to be much information specifically pertaining to issues with Word Viewer.

Hi Victoria.
1. The PCs do not have Microsoft Office installed, nor are we using the Office Web Apps. "Word Viewer" means the Microsoft Word Viewer application available here (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4) that is available
free for read-only viewing of Word documents.
2. There are no errors when I open Word docs in Word Viewer. The Word Viewer application launches after clicking a Word document link in Sharepoint, but there is no file open in it. When that happens the IE11 Sharepoint window on the taskbar is flashing
yellow, but when I click back to it there are no messages or alerts to click on.
3. This issue does occur with all Word documents (.doc, .docx) in SharePoint. However, it does not occur when opening Word documents in the Word Viewer when they are local files or through IE11 from a non-SharePoint website like our local intranet.
Those files will open with no problem in Word Viewer.
4. I will try to get a screenshot, but we are working on creating images for deployment and I don't currently have a machine configured the same way. I'll work on reconfiguring one and post a screenshot.
Thank you for your help!
