Hosting SharePoint 2013 and content separation (Windows Server 2012)

I have a windows 2012 server which hosts a ASP.NET 4.5 MVC website.
I am interested in installing SharePoint 2013 on the same standalone server (which is a virtual cloud server, and easily scalable). I would like to be able to create separate instances of sharepoint for each of my customers (around 10), and provide them
with a custom URL ie. customer.abc.com (where abc.com is my domain). These sites will be created programmatically when a user signs us to my site (they only require basic SharePoint functionality, i.e. the creation of team sites, notifications etc.)
So:
1) Can I install SharePoint 2013 at no extra cost on windows server 2012? (what are the limitations)
2) Is it possible to create separate instances of sharepoint 2013 (in terms of config and content DB's)
3) I'm sure there are many but what are some other considerations

1) With SharePoint Foundation, SharePoint itself does not cost anything, but you must purchase User CALs for employees of your company, and User CALs for non-employees or a Windows External Connector license.
2) No, you need to use multi-tenancy instead - http://www.harbar.net/articles/sp2010mt1.aspx
Note that you must have Active Directory in this environment and the Server 2012 VM you currently have must be joined to the Active Directory domain.

  • Administrator cannot change printer properties on "Advanced" tab from "Devices and Printers" on Windows Server 2012 R2

    Hello, dear Colleagues.
    User with administrators rights cannot change printer properties on "Advanced" tab from "Devices and Printers" on Windows Server 2012 R2. 
    If to launch "Devices and Printers" on server, all printer properties on "Advanced" tab are inactive (see screen below). 
    But I can change it manually with "Print Management". Features become active.
    The main purpose - to uncheck "Enable advanced printing features"  with powershell
    scripts.
    $erroractionpreference = "continue"
    $colPrinters = Get-Wmiobject -Class win32_printer -computername print_server -Filter "Name like 'printer1' or Name like 'printer2' or Name like 'printer3' or Name like 'printer4' or Name like 'printer5' or Name like 'printer6'" # get printers on server and filter with names
    ForEach ($objPrinter in $colPrinters) { # get printer details from WMI
    If ($objPrinter.RawOnly -ne "True") { # check that Advanced printing fetaures is turned on
    Write-host $objPrinter.Name
    Write-Host $objPrinter.RawOnly
    $objPrinter.RawOnly = "True" # Untick and update the object in WMI
    $objPrinter.Put()
    It works on Windows 7 workstation, but does not on print server Windows Server 2012 R2 with error
    Exception calling "Put" with "0" argument(s): "Generic failure "
    At \\print_server\c$\DisableAdvancedPrintingFeatures.ps1:8 char:17
    + $objPrinter.Put()
    + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : DotNetMethodException
    Can you help me with that? Look like somethings with rights.
    Thank you.

    Hello, Alan
    Morris.
    Thanks for your reply.
    I've tried to runs PS Script both locally and remotely, previously running Powershell ISE as Administrator.
    I've noticed interesting thing - if to
    check "Enable advanced printing features"
    manually thru Print Management snap-in, script works fine. But, time to time after some manipulations on print server, this advanced feature returns to enabled state automatically by system, I think. In this case PS Script does not work. Next, if to disable
    feature manually again (thru Print Management snap-in),
    and enable manually again, PS Script will work. Very strange situation.
    Thanks.

  • Exchange Server 2013 SP1 Install on Windows Server 2012 R2

    I am trying to install Exchange 2013 SP1 onto a Windows Server 2012 R2. I get an error message that the operating system is not supported. I have installed all the prerequisite.

    Does that mean that you can't install Exchange 2013 Sp1 with a Remote Desktop Role together included with Server 2012 R2?
    Or is it possible to restore the Remote Desktop Role afterwards?
    You can't install any build of Exchange 2013 on any server that has the RDS Role installed. So in other words, this is not a "limitation" with Exchange 2013 SP1 and Windows Server 2012 R2.

    Hi
      Looks like the AAA configuration is set for local
    aaa authentication enable console LOCAL
    aaa authentication http console LOCAL
    aaa authentication serial console LOCAL
    aaa authentication ssh console LOCAL
    aaa authentication telnet console LOCAL
    Change it to Radius
    aaa-server Keefa-Raduis protocol radius
    aaa-server Keefa-Raduis (NAZCO) host 172.16.200.10
    key *****
    radius-common-pw *****
    for example :
    aaa authentication telnet console Keefa-Raduis LOCAL
    Now when you will do telnet to using Radius credentials, Its Should work, If radius goes down you can use LOCAL username and password as fallback method.

  • Internet Explorer 11 and Flash on Windows Server 2012 R2

    I used Windows Server 2012 R2 which has built within it Internet Explorer version 11.  When loading a web site which has Flash content it prompts me to install Flash, but when I navigate to the Flash download site it says I must enable it because it is already installed.
    After reviewing the  directions for How to Enable Flash, the directions become worthless because they don't match the screen that I see.
    QUESTIONS:
    Does IE Version 11 have Flash built in or not?
    If if does, how do I enable Flash?
    If it doesn't, how do I install Flash?
    Please don't tell me to load a media-rich web site, and go to "Manage Add-Ons" and enable Flash because the enable Flash command doesn't show up.

    Repair IE? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318378
    The thing is... Adobe collaborates with MS on the updates for IE10 &11 in Win8 &8.1 (server 2012 also AFAIK) and then hands the code off to them. It's "Redmond's baby" after that. There's a KB in Windows updates (KB2898108) that prevents downloading the ActiveX plugin throug Adobe updater from here. Even if you manually download it, it'll prevent you from installing it. I have a Win 8 and Win 8.1 test machine set up and I've tried to uninstall the KB with no success.
    Unfortunately I don't have a Server 2012 machine so it limits my troubleshooting. Chris Campbell has more insight into the ins and outs of Server 2012. Hopefully he'll add to this thread.

  • Migrate SBS 2003 with AD and Exchange to Windows Server 2012 Standard

    We are using SBS 2003 and we have configured Exchange server and AD with DNS and DHCP. Now we are planning to move SBS 2003 to Separate servers like windows server 2012 standard AD with DNS and DHCP and Windows server 2012 Standard with Exchange
    2010.
    Is it Possible?? we need step by step guide.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    You probably would not find any step by step guide for this kind of migrations. If you are not comfortable with doing such migrations I would recommend to if you need to do it your self do some test migrations. Or otherwise get help by a local IT company
    that is familiar with migrations.
    But to give you some information, first thing before starting a migration is check the health of your SBS 2003 server / domain. Use tools like dcdiag, netdiag and best practice analyzer. I wrote a blog post about steps to think about before you start this
    might help: http://blog.ronnypot.nl/?p=914
    When every thing is clean you can start adding the new windows server 2012 machines as member servers to your domain. 
    Next you can promote one of the servers to additional domain controller on your domain (Keep in mind SBS needs to hold all FSMO roles so moving these is the last step your should do.) Also promoting a windows server 2012 to domain controller has slightly
    changed, you need to install the ADDS role and follow the wizard to promote the server to a DC.
    With installation of the new DC install DNS allongsite it will automatic replicate settings during confiugration.
    DHCP must be installed manual, depending on your scope and settings it might be as easy to create a new scope and disable the old dhcp server.
    On the server Exchange needs to be installed, make sure you install and do all pre-requirements. Than install Exchange it will automaticly detect you already have an Exchange organization and is installed as additional server. You can configure all settings
    and when everything is configured right you start moving mailboxes.
    When everything is moved away from the SBS 2003 server, uninstall exchange, move the FSMO roles to the new DC and after that demote the sbs 2003 server so it is not listed anymore as an additional DC in the domain. Last would be shutdown the server and remove
    all records left in AD and DNS.
    There is this guide for migrating SBS 2003 to windows server 2008 R2 and Exchange 2010, this might give you some usefull information, not everything will be the same but it is a good start:

  • Adobe Reader DC has errors and crashes with Windows Server 2012 R2

    We recently installed Adobe Reader DC version of Adobe on our Windows Server 2012 R2 servers and are having issues since the launch. Few of the issues we have seen are as follows:
    This version is a bit clunky and hangs.
    Has a lot of pop-up boxes that appears each time I open a document.
    Each time I open a document there is a Welcome pop-up box
    It is a bit slow to respond between clicks
    If I click on any options like File. The application hangs and then crashes. (see attached crash message)
    Any help to resolve this would be helpful.
    Thank you

    I just had the same issue on a 2012 R2 Remote Desktop server. I fixed it by creating a registry key called Privileged under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC and then creating a DWORD value in that key called bProtectedMode and setting the value to 0. This was on a brand-new server that never had a previous version of any Adobe software on it.
    This is a major kludge. Hopefully Adobe will fix it soon. By the way, here's the crash signature we were getting:

  • Not able to install SharePoint Foundation 2013 SP1 on a Windows Server 2012 R2

    I am very new working with SharePoint and Server 2012. I had and am having a lot of problems installing SharePoint Foundation 2013. I get over the typical errors as download all prerequisites from the Internet, installing the Farms, etc.
    After I completed all the installations steps,  and the installation has finished I tried to open SharePoint 2013 Central Administration but I can't access to it.
    Does anyone has a suggestion?

    HI Sofia,Did you run the PSCONFIG wizard after the succesful completion of installation.If not,please run.Find the below link that gives more details on the installations.

  • Sharepoint 2013 SSRS Interaction with Sql Server 2012 Reporting Services connecting to Sql Server 2008 R2 database

    Hi
    I'm working on upgrading sharepoint 2010 to sharepoint 2013 with sql server 2008 r2. I've ran into some problems but have been able to get a test farm upgraded. However to run SSRS 2013 it seems Sql Server 2012 Reporting Services are required. Upgrading
    to a full sql server 2012 database isn't an option. I know that sql server 2012 reporting services can use sql server 2008 r2 as a catalog and content database so I was wondering could this be a workaround? Importantly would I need a separate machine/virtual
    machine to host sql server 2012 reporting services? or could it live on the sql server 2008 r2 machine? Any pointers appreciated. Thanks Dan

    Remember that SSRS must be deployed on the SharePoint server. Having said that, yes you can install SSRS 2012 SP1 on a server running SQL 2008 R2. And yes, you can use 2008 R2 as your Database Engine server while SSRS 2012 SP1 runs on the SharePoint server.

  • Upgrade from ADFS 2.1 to ADFS 3.0 and stay on Windows Server 2012 (not R2)

    Hello,
    could you tell me if this is possible? We need to stay on the same OS 2012 (not R2)?
    Are the 2 versions compatible, i.e if we upgrade the secondary to ADFS 3.0 will the primary on ADFS 2.1 still sync to it, and will the farm respond on either host?
    Thanks,
    Tim

    The upgrade procedure is described here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/askpfeplat/archive/2014/03/31/how-to-build-your-adfs-lab-part4-upgrading-to-server-2012-r2.aspx

  • 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..
    Prem Kumar

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

  • SharePoint 2013 with sp1 install on windows server 2012 R2

    Hi All:
    excuse me I have a question about sharepoint installation. I install sharepoint 2013 with sp1 on windows server 2012 R2，but i always got "Configuring Application Server Role, Web Server (IIS) Role"
    message. I refer to this article <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2765260>. I still got this message ... Which I did wrong step ?? I have been troubled for a long time, thanks to the help ...

    Hi  TiM,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you installed the prerequisites for SharePoint 2013 SP1 on Windows 2012 R2.
    Please make sure that you have installed .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows Server 2012 R2, and enable .NET Framework 3.5 by using the Add Roles and Features Wizard.
    Here is a blog you can refer to:

  • SharePoint Foundation 2013 installed on Windows Server 2012 not sending out email notification

    I have a server where i installed SP Foundation 2013 on top of Windows Server 2012. I have configured the SMTP as well as the outgoing SMTP in Central Administration
    of SharePoint. When i create an alert on a document library, its did not sent any email notification on the changes made to the document in the document library. So, i created a workflow to send out email using SPD2013. The workflow run, but it cannot sent
    out email with error saying that outgoing email is not configured correctly. I have checked with another server which i installed SP foundation 2013 on top of Windows Server 2008 R2 - its sending out email just fine using same configuration and outgoing SMTP.
    I need help to resolve this issue or at least the cause of the problem.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

         
    Try below:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13771.troubleshooting-steps-for-sharepoint-alert-email-does-not-go-out.aspx
    Go to Central Admin ---->Operations----->outgoing email settings and verify that SMTP server is mentioned correctly 
    2) Test the connectivity with the SMTP server.
    In order to do that follow these steps:
      Open  cmd
      telnet <SMTP server name> 25 ( We connect smtp server to the port 25)  
                     you should see a response  like this 220 <servername> Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.3959 ready at date and time
                     Beware that different servers will come up with different settings but you will get something
                     If you dont get anything then there could be 2 possible reasons, either port 25 is blocked or 
                     the smtp server is not responding.
      For testing response from your server
                       For testing response say ehlo to it.
                            Type :
                                        ehlo <servername>
                            output:
                                        250 <servername> Hello [IP Address]
      Now a test mail can be sent from that SharePoint server. 
                          Now we need to enter the From address of the mail.
                          Type :
                           mail from: [email protected]
                           output:
                           250 2.1.0 [email protected]….Sender OK
     It's time to enter the recepient email address.
    Type : rcpt to: [email protected]
    output:
    250 2.1.5 [email protected]
     Now we are left with the data of the email. i.e. subject and body.
    Type : data
    output:
    354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>
    Type:
    subject: this is a test mail
    Hi
    This is test mail body
    I am testing SMTP server.
    Hit Enter, then . and then Enter.
    output:
    250 2.6.0 <<servername>C8wSA00000006@<servername>> Queued mail for delivery
    Type: quit
    output:
    221 2.0.0 <servername> Service closing transmission channe
    3)  Check alerts are enabled for your web application
          verify if the windows timer service is running or not.
          Run this stsadm command to check that
          Stsadm.exe -o getproperty -url http://SharePoint-web-App-URL -pn alerts-enabled
         This should return <Property Exist="Yes" Value="yes" />
         If you don’t get this, Enable alerts by:
         stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn alerts-enabled -pv "true" -url http://SharePoint-web-App-URL
          If its already enabled, try turn off and turn on it back.
    4)  Check the Timer job and Properties
           Go to
           MOSS 2007:  Central Administration > Operations > Timer Job Definitions (under Global Configuration)
           In SharePoint 2010: Central Administration > Monitoring > Review Job Definitions 
           Check whether the "Immediate Alerts" job is enabled for your web application. check these properties:
                       job-immediate-alerts
                       job-daily-alerts 
                       job-weekly-alerts
           stsadm.exe -o getproperty -url "http://Your-SharePoint-web-App-URL" -pn job-immediate-alerts
           The expected output is:
           <Property Exist="Yes" Value="every 5 minutes between 0 and 59"/>.  
           If you don’t get this, run the following command to set its value.
           stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn job-immediate-alerts -pv “every 5 minutes between 0 and 59" -url http://Your-SharePoint-web-App-URL
    5)  Check whether the account is subscribed for alerts and it has a valid email account. This should be the first thing to check if the problem persists for some users not for      all.
    6)  Then check if at all those users have at least read permission for the list. Because the first mail should go out for every user without security validation but the next ones       won't be delivered unless the user has at least read
    permission.
    7)  If it is happening for one user, can also try to delete and re add the user in the site.
    8)  Most importantly , you should try this one.
          Run this SQL query to the content db < Select * from Timerlock>
          This will give you the name of the server which is locking the content database and since when.
          In order to get rid of that lock 
          Go to that server which is locking the content db and then restart the windows timer service.
          within some time it should release the lock from content db, if not then at the most stop the timer job for some time
          Once the lock will be released then try to send some alerts
          You will surely get the email alert.
    I found this is the most probable reason for alert not working most of the time. We should start troubleshooting with above steps before coming to this step for any alert email issue but from step 1 to step 7 are best for new environments or new servers.
    If the issue is like this ,alert was working before and suddenly stopped working without any environmental change then above conditions in step 1-7 should be ideally fine.
    Even after this if it is not working, then you can try these few more steps too
    9)  Try re-registering the alert template:
    stsadm -o updatealerttemplates -url http://Your-SharePoint-Web-App-URL -f  "c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\XML\alerttemplates.xml" -LCID 1033
    10)  Try to clear the configuration cache
    If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered

  • Error while installing Microsoft Identity Extensions Setup during installation of SharePoint Foundation 2013 on Windows Server 2012

    Hi All,
     When i try to manually (no internet connection on the server) install SharePoint 2013 Prerequisites on Windows Server 2012 I get the below error
    I have installed .Net Framework 3.5, 4.0 and Windows Identity Foundation using Add server roles or features from the server manager.
    From Software & Hardware requirements for SharePoint 2013 give
    Prerequisites for SharePoint 2013 I can see that the identity extensions are available only of Windows Server 2008 R2 and not for windows server 2012. Can you please provide the link for windows server 2012? 
    I have installed all the prerequisites required except Microsoft Identity Extensions.

    I fixed it by installing Microsoft Identity extensions from command line, please find command line below.
    C:\Windows\System32>msiexec.exe /i "C:\SharePoint2013ServerFiles\prerequisiteinstallerfiles\MicrosoftIdentityExtensions-64.msi" /quiet /norestart
    Note: In the above command C:\SharePoint2013ServerFiles\prerequisiteinsTallerfiles is the path where I had downloaded all the prerequisites for SP2013
    This will install Microsoft Identity Extensions and creates registry entries, which will help the SharePoint 2013 Prerequisite installer to complete the setup
