Farm account removal SharePoint 2013

Hi All,
I need to add a new account as farm account and remove previous farm account. Will this be possible?
Thanks,
sudesh withanage

You can use the stsadm command,
updatefarmcredentials to change farm accounts.

Service Accounts in Sharepoint 2013

Ok in SharePoint 2013, we have an intranet set up. Ok so on the central administration page, under Security, and configure service accounts, I selected Farm Account for the drop down menu at the top. We have 3 managed accounts for the intranet, which are
sp_farm, sp_serviceapp, and sp_webapp. Now by mistake, I selected the sp_serviceapp for the (select an account for this component) and clicked ok. Now when I go to change it back to sp_farm, it gives me an error page, it says the website declined to show this
webpage, and most likely causes: this website requires you to login. And it doesn't change it back. Would someone please let me know how I can change the component account for my farm account from sp_serviceapp to sp_farm? Thank you.

If i understand this correctly you created a web application using the sp_farm account as the managed account for that application pool. WHen you tried to change it to another account the web application fails to load.
If you've done it through Central Admin then that should just work, as described here:
http://blog.morg.nl/2011/07/changing-the-identity-for-a-sharepoint-2010-application-pool-2/
Or have i misunderstood what you've changed the various accounts for?

How to Merge two user accounts(duplicate accounts) in SharePoint 2013?

Hello,
There are 2-3 user accounts with the same name. I want to merge those accounts in one account with only one name. How to do it in SharePoint 2013? Is there any PowerShell command or script to do that?
Please Guide.
chirag

Hi chirag,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to merge the user accounts which have duplicated names in SharePoint 2013.
Were there duplicated user accounts in Active Directory?
If not, the user may had two accounts in AD and one of the accounts that doesn't exist anymore is still used in SharePoint.
Please check if there is any permission assignment to this user, remove all their assignments and add them again only for the valid account.
Here is a similar issue for you to take a look:

SharePoint 2013 Administrative Account Permissions

I'm looking for documentation about the permissions needed to administrate SharePoint Server 2013. My administrative account needs to have access to Central Administration, web applications, PowerShell, and local server resources like the file system, event
logs, services, etc.
I have found several articles that I had hoped would have the information but do not:
Plan for administrative and service accounts in SharePoint 2013 literally has the sentence:
This article does not describe security roles and permissions required to administer in SharePoint 2013.
This upsets me as I am looking for the documentation that does describe the roles and permissions required to administer in SharePoint 2013 and this line offers no help other than telling me what I need isn't here. For anyone from the documentation
team that happens to read this I offer the feedback that following that sentence there should be a link to the documentation that I am asking about here (assuming it exists ;)
Initial deployment administrative and service accounts in SharePoint 2013 details permissions for the setup user account which is like an administrative account except that in my
case the farm has been set up and I need to have administrative accounts.
Account permissions and security settings in SharePoint 2013 describes the permissions accounts and groups are granted on individual resources on the server. While this is informative,
it doesn't describe what rights I need to grant an account so it can administer.
Use Windows PowerShell to administer SharePoint 2013 describes the permissions needed to run Add-SPShellAdmin to grant others administrative access, but doesn't actually
describe the permission needed to use PowerShell to administrate.
Does this information exist publicly?

@jaspnwarren

habaneroconsulting.com/Insights

Partner Support has confirmed there is no documentation that details specific rights needed for specific administration tasks. Given how the permissions depend on the task and how many tasks there are I don't see this ever appearing in official public documentation.
I did some testing and I was able to use PowerShell as a non-admin, but I was limited to accessing objects that don't require the admin rights. For example I couldn't get the farm object (I get an exception) or the search service application (Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication
returns null), but I could list site collections and sites. Again, certain tasks require certain rights and this totally makes sense given the ability to delegate permissions built into the SharePoint platform.
So where does this leave me? For now I suppose it needs to be tested on a case-by-case basis.
For users who I want to administrate a farm with PowerShell, who have the ability to log into the servers to check local resources, services, logs, etc. practically they need to be local administrators and have SPShellAdmin. For anything else I would be
looking at creating an account with no rights and gradually add permissions until I get to a level where it can perform the required tasks. If I want an account to manage site collections I may need Remote Desktop User machine group, SPShellAdmin against the
content database, and site collection administrator (at the moment this is a guess).
So in the end it seems there is no definitive answer or broad best practice for assigning permissions to administrators beyond testing it out to see what works and hiring administrators who you trust and are accountable for their actions.

SharePoint 2013 Default Groups removal

Hi Everyone
I would like to know if any harm in breaking inheritance and removing SharePoint 2013 default groups.
Groups like
1) Approvers
2) Designers
3) Translation Managers
4) Restricted Readers
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Prashanth
SharePoint Administrator

Hi Prashanth,
If the default groups have been deleted, then the groups cannot be recovered unless you restore the site from a backup.
The default groups have specific permission levels, so if you do not need that specific permision, then you can delete them.

Sharepoint 2013 MP - Configuration Database connection failed

Hi all!
I run a WS2012 R2 with SCOM 2012R2. I'm trying to monitor Sharepoint 2013 Farm, with the Sharepoint 2013 MP. The Sharepoint farm and it's SQL server is on another domain, with two-way trust, and the agents are working on the Sharepoint and SQL servers.
I use SQL aliases for Sharepoint DB's, so I've made an override to the connection string to make it connect to the correct database.
The override is working fine, I can see that SCOM is trying to connect to the SQL server, but I cannot seem to make SCOM use the correct Run As account on these configuration databases. Most of the Sharepoint MP seems to be working fine, with the farm admin
account, but I don't know how I can force this override connectionString to use a specific user.
WS2012R2 with SCOM2012R2 UR3
Sharepoint 2013 Farm on WS2008R2 OS.
MS SQL 2012 on WS2008R2.
It uses the default SCOM monitoring account, instead of the Sharepoint RunAs account.
Any suggestions?
How do I make it use the correct Run As account?
(This guy has the
same problem)
Thanks,
Nikolaj

I was looking at this issue not too long ago, and looked through the management pack xml, to see if there was a missing secure reference for DB connection monitors. I only glanced through the MP, but it looked to me as if the DB connection
monitors references the same account as the other sharepoint monitors. (Yes, that full-blown farm admin account). Again I am not sure, but it seems the management pack has trouble using the referenced RunAs account in the connection strings and then, because
the watcher node is setup default to run off the management server, it falls back to the management server action account.
You mention, that you have a two-way trust between you management group and SPS SQL servers. You could then bring this to work by granting your management server action account public rights on your configuration and content DB’s. Not
optimal, but it’s a workaround. For SPS 2013 this should work without changing the connection strings, as you would have to with SPS 2010.
I know this is not solution you’re are looking for, but it just might be enough for you to get a step further. I don’t know of any solution, so far, to get the DB connections to use the SPS RunAs account.

Workflow Suspended error in sharepoint 2013

The problem is while i created the item ,notification mail triggers.But the when other user creates item,the workflow get suspended and showing the following error.
Waiting for your quick response.
Thank you

Dear Aditi Das,
I tested below steps on library and worked.
Added the System account to Full control Permission on bin folder and GAC.(workflow "app" would need to have higher or elevated permissions)
Confirmed that this account have full control on the Web application.
Checked Site actions > Site Settings > Site features > Workflows can use app permissions > Activate.
Performed an IISReset.
Account was showing as SharePointApp now in place of System account.
SharePoint 2013 workflow are working as expected now.

SharePoint 2013 Sync two Sites

I have one farm with two SharePoint 2013 servers: server1 and server2,I have the same site on both servers, server1 and server2, I need to sync Power view reports between Server1 and Server2, can you help me how implement it?
Thanks
Farm
Server1 | Server2
| |
MySite MySite

PowerView reports are standard content, just like any other document. The file is stored in the SQL database and displayed via the browser. You just need a network load balancer for Server1 and 2 in order to route users as required.

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..

How to join a Domain Controller Server to an two-tier (SQL Server 2012) and Sharepoint 2013 (SP2013) farm

Hi,
I am trying to build a 3-tier SharePoint 2013 farm.
1. SQL Server 2012, Windows 2012 VM
2. DC Server, Windows 2012 VM
3. SharePoint 2013, Windows 2012 VM
I didn't built the DC server. Someone else did. However, I created about 14 service domain user accounts for SQL Server and SharePoint install and operation.
I was able to join the SQL Server into the SharePoint server farm using SharePoint 2013 Product Configuration Wizard. When I start the Central Admin, and click on Servers in the Farm, I only see the SharePoint server and SQL server,
but the DC server is not listed. Any suggestion on what did I miss?
Thanks
Jean

You cannot join the Domain Controller to your SharePoint farm. You must instead join each server from that farm to the domain that is served up by that DC. You will want to uninstall SharePoint and probably SQL before you do this. If it's
an option, I would re-provision your VMs completely and start fresh. Once you login to a new server, join that server to the target domain like this:
http://www.petri.co.il/join-windows-server-2012-to-domain.htm
You'd have to ensure that your DNS resolves to the target domain on the server being joined to the domain. If it doesn't, you can always use HOSTS entries to overcome that in the short term.
Once you've joined both the future SQL and SharePoint servers to the domain, you can install SQL Server and then SharePoint on their prospective servers to create your farm.
I trust that answers your question...
Thanks

Sharepoint 2013 - Remove "Recent" from left menu

Hello All -
My client has requested that she be able to remove (or hide) the "Recent" menu header from the left menu in Sharepoint 2013. This is for specified site collections/sites/pages, not farm-wide.
So far, I've tried to do this via JQuery by adding the following code
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery(".ms-core-listMenu-item:contains('Recent')").parent().hide();
</script>
via both a script web-part and via a content editor web-part (using embed code), but to no avail. I've also tried adding the code above to a .js file (without the script tags) and calling it as
<script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/15/menu.remove.recent.js"></script>
instead, but it still doesn't work.
I've checked the page source and I can see the script is included. The "Recent" menu item however, is still there. My prefered solution would be to hide the menu item rather than remove it - I suspect removing it will probably cause issues as Sharepoint
likely expects it to be there.
There's no requirement to use JQuery - it just seemed to me to be the best way. I would also rather not edit master pages unless there's no other choice.
Any ideas?

You need to reference the JQuery library, then add the code in the Content Editor Web Part in the view page (e.g. AllItems.aspx) of the Pages library, then the "Recent section" will be hidden when you access this AllItems.aspx page.
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery(".ms-core-listMenu-item:contains('Recent')").parent().hide();
</script>
Thanks

SharePoint 2013 - Server Error in '/' Application - This operation can be performed only on a computer that is joined to a server farm by users who have permissions in SQL Server to read from the configuration database

Hi
After I ran SharePoint configuration wizard successfully to upgrade to SharePoint 2013 / SP1.
I can open Central Administration site just fine.
but now when I open any Site collection, I got this error.
Server Error in '/' Application
This operation can be performed only on a computer that is joined to a server farm by users who have permissions in SQL Server to read from the configuration database. To connect this server to the server farm, use the SharePoint Products Configuration
Wizard, located on the Start menu in Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products
I have restarted all the servers: SQL server, WFE and APP servers but still cann't get this resolve.
Services on all servers are running, IIS - application pools are running.
Can someone help with where that could be a problem or if there is a solution.
Thanks in advance for your comments or advices.

Please verify the followings:
Make sure that from the SharePoint front end and application servers that you can ping your SQL server.
Make sure that your Farm account has permission to the configuration database.
Lastly verify that your database didn't for some reasons go into recovery mode.
once everything is fine and you are still having issues, restart the SQL host service on the SQL server.
Once the service is restarted you will need to reboot Central Admin and then your front end servers.
In addition, as you built your farm inside the firewall, please disable the firwall, or create rules for SQL Server service in the firwall on SQL server.
More information about creating rules in firewall, please refer to the following posts: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c5d4d0d0-9a3b-4431-8150-17ccfbc6fb82/can-not-create-data-source-to-an-sql-server http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1929/configure-windows-firewall-to-work-with-sql-server/
