How scale the services for 4 SharePoint 2013 servers?

Hi,
I have in my new farm 4 Sharepoint servers. We are more than 1K users but less than 20K users. 
WFE1 just with IIS
WFE2 just with IIS
APP_Serv1 with CA and all the services except for Search Services
App_Serv2 with just Search Services.
Is this correct? Is this considered best practices?
Thanks.

Best Practices would normally suggest moving some services like Search Query, Managed Metadata, and User Profiles to the WFEs.  But there isn't just a single design that works or is the best.  Take a look at the following article.  It suggests
which services to put on which servers.

  • Installed SQL Reporting Services 2012 on SharePoint 2013 Server. SQL Reporting Service not available In the list of runnning services or new service applications

    Hi I'm trying to setup SQL reporting services in a SharePoint 2013 farm consisting of:
    4 WFE's
    4 App Servers (NLB Central Admin x 4 servers)
    4 App Severs for SSRS (Light limited SharePoint services running)
    I've installed SSRS 2012 SP1 by following the guide (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg492276.aspx) on one of the SSRS SharePoint 2013 servers and ensuring Reporting Services - SharePoint and Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint Products is selected.
    All completed without errors and I have even upgraded to SP2 for troubleshooting but no joy.
    I've then gone into SharePoint Central Admin and I cannot see SQL Reporting Service available In the list of runnning services on the server I have just installed SSRS on and going to manage service applications I cannot see in the new dropdown menu SQL
    Reporting Services.
    I have ran the following commands in the SHarePoint management shell:
    Install-SPRSService and Install-SPRSSeviceProxy
    and
    get-spserviceinstance -all |where {$_.TypeName -like "SQL Server Reporting*"} | Start-SPServiceInstance
    The reply was that the service was already online on the server.
    So in powershell all seems ok but it does not appear in central administration.
    I have also moved Central Administration to the SSRS SharePoint server too.
    Any other suggestions? Here is the same problem but in SP2010 (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/6a21cc05-1f9b-49ad-a9bb-44aa5b3ce312/action?threadDisplayName=after-installing-sql-reporting-services-service-for-sharepoint-2012-service-is-not-in-the-list-of)
    In my lab environment of a 4 server SP2013 farm it worked immediately when i installed it on the app server (CA host) so I dont think it is my install strategy.
    I guess my next attempt is to install SSRS on an app server with central administration hosted.
    Thanks

    I had the same issue on 2 different environments.
    I had 2 application servers. One had Central Administration. I installed SSRS on the other one and it never appeared in the Service Applications in SharePoint.
    When I also provisioned Central Administration on the other application server and went to the service applications using Central Admin on that server, the SSRS service application was there.
    Since then I always install SSRS on the server which hosts Central Admin. No issues then.

  • How to disable the Services for Object in IW32?

    Hi Experts,
    May i know how to deactivate the create and delete attachment option if the status of the order in IW32 is already TECO? Please help

    I have found my own answer.  If your user type is setup as 'Service', you will not be have the "Services for Object" icon on IQS23.   If you need the icon to perform the that service, you must change the user type to Dialog from Logon Data.

    Hi,
    According to your description, you want to configure Access Service 2010 in SharePoint 2013 server by using a Windows PowerShell.
    Take a look at an articles about configuring services and service applications in SharePoint 2013:

  • 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?

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to follow site programmatically in SharePoint 2013.
    I suggest you debug the code step by step to check whether the variable is valid.
    You can also create a simple console application to test whether it works.
    Here is a code snippet for your reference:
    SPServiceContext serverContext = SPServiceContext.GetContext(web.Site);
    UserProfileManager profileManager = new UserProfileManager(serverContext);
    string userString = user.LoginName.ToString();
    UserProfile userProfile = profileManager.GetUserProfile(userString);
    if (userProfile != null)
    SPSocialFollowingManager manager = new
    SPSocialFollowingManager(userProfile);
    SPSocialActorInfo actorInfo = new SPSocialActorInfo();
    actorInfo.ContentUri = new Uri(web.Url);
    actorInfo.AccountName = user.LoginName;
    actorInfo.ActorType = SPSocialActorType.Site;
    manager.Follow(actorInfo);

  • Correct No. of Accounts and their Privileges for Installing SharePoint 2013 Developer Machine

    Hi Dear SharePoint 2013 Experts,
    I request you to kindly guide like; the Correct No. of Accounts and their Privileges for Installing SharePoint 2013 Developer Machine. Is there any step by step blog or Video on "Installing SharePoint 2013 Developer Machine".
    Tried Installing ALL in one single Virtual Machine using account spDeveloper (which is a Member of "Administrators" and "Domain Admins" Group(s). Any kind of SharePoint Web-Application and/or Sites (Developer-Site, Team-Site, ....) can
    be created including MySites and Intranet Sites.
    But when tried creating SharePoint App Project in Visual Studio 2013 and deploying, stuck here with 2 weird Issues like;
    1. This task requires the application to have elevated permission
    2. Error occurred in deployment step 'Install App for SharePoint': The System Account can not perform this action
    If Visual Studio 2013 is run NORMALLY (WITHOUT 'As Administrator'), it throws above 1st error  - "This task requires the application to have elevated permission"
    Because of the above 1st Issue, if the Visual Studio 2013 is run 'AS ADMINISTRATOR', it again throws an error (2nd error) - "Error occurred in deployment step 'Install App for SharePoint': The System Account can not perform this action"
    How to over cum this "chicken and egg problem"??

  • Issues when trying to setup alternate sync location of OneDrive for Business / SharePoint 2013 Libraries

    Hello,
    I have an issue that prevents me from choosing the alternate location of sync'ed OneDrive for Business folders. I'm trying to setup an alternate location for synchronization, using the guidelines found in the Office support web site.
    The option to replace the default sync location appears the first time a SharePoint 2013 Library or OneDrive for Business is setup for synchronization.
    Here would be a link to a snapshot (since my account has not been verified): /Forums/getfile/443247
    At this point, the Library or personal OneDrive folder syncs correctly and the files are stored in the alternate choosen location.
    However, on when trying to setup an additionnal Library for synchronization, the alternate sync location has not been saved and reverts to the default sync location. Furthermore, the option to replace the default sync location does no longer appear
    on the dialog box.
    Here would be a link to a snapshot (since my account has not been verified): /Forums/getfile/443249
    I have tried by first sync'ing a SharePoint 2013 Library (instead of the personal OneDrive for Business folder) with the same result. Meaning that the first SharePoint 2013 Library correctly sync's in the alternate location of my choosing. However,
    any subsequent attempts to sync either a SharePoint 2013 Library or the OneDrive for Business folder results in them being sync'ed to the original default location in a folder under the user's profile directory.
    I'm using Office Professional Plus 2013 (64bits). The version of Groove.exe is 15.0.4605.1000 (12th March 2014 - 13 383 360 bytes).
    Is there something I'm missing ?
    Thanks for any help on this issue.

    Hi SpringComp,
    You can change the root path for libraries you sync to your computer, though you can do this only if you’re not currently syncing any libraries. If you’re already syncing at least one library and you want to change the path, you must first
    stop syncing all libraries. Then, the first time you run the OneDrive for Business wizard to sync a library to your computer, you’ll see an option to change the location.
    More information, please refer to the link:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/support/change-the-location-where-you-sync-sharepoint-libraries-on-your-computer-HA102893480.aspx
    I hope this helps.

  • How to disable Shredded Storage in SharePoint 2013?

    Hi,
    My understanding is that SharePoint provide  "FileOperationSettings" property to disable Shredded Storage but this property is not working in SharePoint 2013 RTM release.
    Only the way they provide is modify the FileWriteChunkSize property and set the chunk size is 2 GB  for bypassing the shredded storage.
    Is there any another way to disable the Shredded Storage in SharePoint 2013 and store the document in database same as SharePoint 2010 does?

    Hi Nitin, 
    To override the FileChunkSize is the best way to disable shredded storage. The following powershell is one of the cleanest way to do it. Shredded storage causes some undesirable effects sometimes and disabling it in this way works pretty nicely. You can
    set the chunk size to 1 GB itself ( 2 GB is not reqd).
    $wa = Get-SPWebApplication http://webappurl
    $wa.WebService.FileWriteChunkSize = 1073741824
    $wa.webservice.update()

  • VS Exp 2013: Unable to create the Web site ... The components for communicating with FTP servers are not installed.

    I have MS Visual Studio Express 2013 It has worked fine for many months and then suddenly (I have made no configuration changes or added new programs) when I try to publish I am getting the message:
    Unable to create the Web site 'ftp://ftp.xx.xx/xxx.org.uk/www/htdocs'. The components for communicating with FTP servers are not installed.
    (I have replaced actual name with x's).
    I had a similar problem some months ago and found that saving all files, closing VS 2013 and re-starting the program fixed the problem. This time it has not.
    I am at a loss to know how to take this forwards. I do not use IIS.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Michael.

    Hi Michael,
    For web site development, so you use the VS2013 express for web, am I right? We have to make sure that it is not the VS version issue.
    As you said that it worked well before, did you install other add-ins or tools in your VS IDE like
    Xamarin or others?
    Maybe you could disable or remove all add-ins in your VS IDE, test it again.
    please also install the VS2013 update 4 in your side.
