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.

  • 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.

  • Replace FE and APP server in SharePoint 2013 farm

    Hello,
    We have to replace the front-end web and app server from a SharePoint 2013 farm.  The farm only has 1 FE, 1 APP and 1 SQL server.  As the FE and APP were wrongly patched and have unsupported software installed there's no way of getting all servers
    at same version level and to succesfully run the Product Configuration Wizard.  The database server is ok but we have to replace the 2 other servers.
    Is there any documented procedure to perform this migration/reinstall?
    Thanks!
    Martin

    for first approach.
    1- go to central admin and add all roles you need for the server that will stay
    2- log into the server you will remove then run configuration wizard and choose disconnect from farm
    you will have now one server, you can clean it up and keep it or later remove it when u have the new one
    3- to add new server

  • I've used Project Web App on Sharepoint 2013. After clear job queue about force check-in then I've got this error. This made me can't access some pages in PWA anymore e.g. Project center, Resoure center, PWA setting, etc.

    I've used Project Web App on Sharepoint 2013. After clear job queue about force check-in then I've got this error. This made me can't access some pages in PWA anymore e.g. Project center, Resoure center, PWA setting, etc.  Who have ever found this problem,
    pls. help.
    The pop up error msg. is "Sorry, you don't have access to this page"

    Hi,
    According to your description, after you cleared job queue about force check-in then you can't access some pages in PWA.
    Maybe you need to check in the pages which has been checked out.
    If you have administrative rights, it is possible to override the check-out via the View All Site Content page:
    Site Actions->View All Site Content->Pages->Hover the item you want to check in, and from the context-menu (arrow-down next to the filename), choose "Discard Check Out"
    Besides, to troubleshooting the error “Sorry, you don't have access to this page”, refer to the following articles:

  • Install AD / SQL Server 2012 and SharePoint 2013 on a single server as Development Environment

    Hi All,
          I'm planning to prepare a SharePoint 2013 development environment. The current idea is to install Domain controller, SQL Server 2012 and SharePoint 2013 all on a single server. Even though this is for development purposes,
    would there be any limitations specially when it comes to SP 2013 functionalities according to your experience?

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 - SharePoint 2013

    After an front end server upgrade from Windows Server 2012 Datacenter to Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter of our SharePoint 2013 farm, the following error is being experienced when trying to open a document library with Windows Explorer (this
    feature worked prior to the upgrade): Message from webpage "We're having a problem opening this location in File Explorer.  Add this web site to your Trusted Sites list and try again."
    Our domain is in the trusted sites list (*domain.com), the Webclient services are running, and the User Interfaces and Infrastructure > Desktop Experience feature is installed.
    It looks like this error was previously remedied with KB2903928. This update doesn't seem to apply to Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter.
    UPDATE: We have also discovered that site email boxes are not working.
    Thank you for your assistance,
    Jeanne

    Hi,
    Glad that the issue was solved.
    Meanwhile, please understand that before the release of Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 Service Pack 1 (SP1), Microsoft did not support the installation of SharePoint Server 2013 in a Windows Server 2012 R2-based environment.

  • 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

  • SQL server requirement for sharepoint 2013

    Hello All,
    currently i have installed SharePoint2013 in server farm mode, and i have used SQL Server 2008 R2 for DB. Can i use SQL Server 2012 for SharePoint 2013?
    Thanks

    SharePoint 2013 is compatible with SQL 2008 R2 and SQL 2012 so yes.
    What you can do is "move" the SharePoint DBs from SQL 2008 R2 to SQL 2012 without restore or backup.
    Link to msdn: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc512725(v=office.15).aspx
    Here you have an example for SharePoint 2010 (is the same for SharePoint 2013): http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/664029/Migrate-SharePoint-s-SQL-Server-to-another-SQL-Ser

  • NLB for SharePoint 2013 farm ?

    Hello All,
    I have a very simple three-tier SharePoint 2013 farm which its architecture consists of: (1 DB Server, 1 Application Server, and 1 Web Front-End Server) which all are running on Windows Server 2008 R2.
    I now need to add another (Second) Web Front End server.
    Steps that I know:
    A) Following the installation instructions on: (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc261752(v=office.15).aspx), especially: Connect to a server farm page: Connect to an existing server farm.
    B) Question-1: After completing the installation steps, Should I run the SharePoint 2013 Products Configuration Wizard on the Application server (The server that hosts Central Administration)? Or, No need to do so?
    After that, I will have 2 Web Front-End servers, and I will need to configure load balancing. I found some articles to set up load balancing on a SharePoint farm using the OOTB Windows Server network load balancing (NLB) feature.
    Question-2: Is this adequate and powerful enough? Or, Do you recommend any other third NLB solutions (Reasonable price)?
    Thank you !

    You do not need to run the Config Wizard on the App server. Windows NLB isn't great. It doesn't know about service status (e.g. if IIS is up or not), but it will 'do the job' for a few hundred to low thousands of users. Load balancer appliances are not
    necessarily cheap, but BigIP products are popular.

  • Possible to use both Tabular and Multidimentinal with same SharePoint 2013 farm?

    I would like to build SharePoint 2013 based reporting portal with Power View as visualization tool.
    Is it possible to install both Tabular and Multidimentional to same physical server?
    Is it possible that some Power View reports use tabular and others multidimentional?
    Could above requirement work in production environment? Anybody tried?
    Kenny_I

    Hi Kenny_I,
    According to your description, you are going to create a PowerView report using SQL Server Analysis Services Multidimensional database or SSAS tabular model as data source in SharePoint 2013, now what you want to know is that is it possible to install both
    Tabular and Multidimensional to same physical server? And is it possible that some Power View reports use tabular and others Multidimensional?
    Of course we can install both Tabular and Multidimensional to same physical server that had SharePoint 2013 installed. In my tested environment, I have installed all of them on the same server. And we can use tabular model and others Multidimensional database
    on individual PowerView report. However, it seems that we cannot use both tabular model and others Multidimensional database on the same Powerview report.
    Even though we can install both Tabular and Multidimensional to same physical server, however in the production environment, the recommendation is that install them on different server, it will beneficial to troubleshooting the issue when some issue occur
    on the environment.
    If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

  • What are the best practices for audit report for SharePoint 2013 farm ?

    Hello,
    I am looking for the best practices for audit reporting in SharePoint 2013 farm.Can anyone please provide me checklist/tools/guidelines on same ?
    your help will be much appreciated.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Dipti Chhatrapati

    This is quite open ended question. A sharepoint farm should be well maintained as per :
    1. Microsoft's recommendations on : Topology, Hardware and Software requirements, Operational procedures and most important Capacity guidelines:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff758645(v=office.15).aspx
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262787(v=office.15).aspx
    2. Organisation's IT policies and procedures : Farm Configuration, Workload and monitoring
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff758658(v=office.15).aspx
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee748651(v=office.15).aspx
    3. Industry best practices
    I would suggest to start thinking over these lines and create a plan for your Sharepoint farm.
    You can then create powershell scripts to run these reports at certain frequency to find the changes, any deviation from the standard and health of the entire farm.
    Hope this helps!!
