Problems with one of the front-end servers (service wont start)

Hi,
Having a pool with two front-end servers (Lync Server 2013 on Windows Server 2012) and I cannot get one of servers to work properly.
The Front-End service is not starting.
Have removed both servers from the topology and installed one at the time. When adding the second server to the pool the service never starts, its in starting state and a bunch of error messages appears:
- Server startup is being delayed because fabric pool manager is initializing.
Cause: This is normal when Pool is bootstrapped and indicates that the Front-End is waiting for a quorum of other Front-Ends to be started.
- Pool Manager failed to connect to Fabric Pool Manager.
Cause: This could happen because insufficient number of Front-Ends are currently active in the Pool.
I have tried restarted one at the time, both at the same time...
Reset-CsPoolRegistrarState -ResetType QuorumLossRecovery
Reset-CsPoolRegistrarState -ResetType FullReset
I have also had a look at the kb saying that there could be a certificate issue. So I have ran that script but no certificate is misplaced in any store.
I have removed the front-end certificates and requested new ones from the internal CA, I have also done the same to the OAuth certificates.
How to proceed?

Hi there,
if you are still receiving, the same error, please try to shutdown the first Front-End Server, and give time for the services to start, however I would like also to add that with Lync server 2013 the Enterprise pool requirements is to have 3 Front-End Servers
in a pool instead of 2, because of introducing the brick model architecture.

Charbel Hanna

Problem with CRM 2011 web front end cluster

Hi.
We have a CRM 2011 (RU17) environment with a SQL DB server and 2 web front end CRM server in a cluster.
Since few days (about 10) it seems that one of the 2 nodes is not working, and since yesterday many users report access problems when calling the application by cluster name - as usual since we deployed CRM 1 year ago.
I tried myself, and I can run the application by cluster name without problems. If it try the separate notes addresses, one of them works, the other doesn't.
I checked the 2 web front end servers, and are (or seem) both properly configured, with all patches installed.
Following the information I got from Event viewer. Any suggestion welcomed!
Many thanks and Best regards

accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.

Apologize for not having indicated here the resolotion I got thanks to MS support...
We enabled the trace and we got
a http error page stating maxQueryStringLength was insufficient. We changed the maxQueryStringLength and QueryString values in the CRM web.config value to 10240.
We also noticed an error related to the DC being unavailable. We checked in the CRM registry hive and see in the non-working server you had a PreferredDc key pointing to “AMDNAD”. On pinging
AMDNAD we see it is not reachable. We removed the PreferredDc key and after iisreset we can navigate to crm.

Site not found using Sharepoint Designer 2013, Load balance URL and the Front end servers.

Dears,
My SharePoint farm is with the below configuration in our office :
Batch processing server the with Central Administration
Web Front End Sever 1 (http://wfe01)
Web Front End Sever 2 (http://wfe02)
I do have the load balance URL as http://finance.mycompany.com and as per the system administrator it seems configured properly.
In AAM i have mapped the URLs as below for the web application in Central Administration portal:
http://finance.mycompany.com - Default Zone
http://wfe01 - Intranet Zone
http://wfe02 - Internet Zone
I was able to browse the site via the load balance URL : http://finance.mycompany.com, but couldn't open the site using the Share Point Designer 2013. It always says the site not found.
please advise,
thanks,
Ammar

What do the wfe01 and wfe02 aams do?
Are you browsing to the SharePoint site and using SPD on the same computer, is it part of the farm or a seperate client computer?
thanks Alex a lot for your response and appreciate the same.
WFE01, WFE01 is connected to the one central admin on Batch Processing Server (central admin URL is http://SharepointCA:5555 and the SharePoint Web Application is hosted under port 80 on the same server). So the AAM configured on the batch processing server
central admin.
I can connect to the site using the SPD inside the Batch Processing server if i mention the site urs as http://localhost. But not from other client computers by putting the load balance URL - http://finance.mycompany.com.
I can browse the sites directly putting http://wfe01, http://wfe02 and as well as the load balance URL (http://finance.mycompany.com). The custom webparts are getting crashed when i put the web application URL as http://finance.mycompany.com.
thanks,
Ammar

New front end issue - services not starting

Named Pipes provider, error:40 could not open a connection to sql server. Only happens on one of the front end SRS servers

when testing a datasource connection I get the following error.
Named Pipes provider, error:40 could not open a connection to sql server.
I've read all the posts on this and nothing works. This is a scale out deployment and the connection
works from the other server I have setup with SRS that is connected to the same backend SRS databases. It just doesn't work from one of the SRS front ends. I'm at a loss.. please help

Enable both named pipe and TCP communications.
Make sure client is using the same (named) pipe name as server for connection.

SharePoint Foundation 2013 - Search Configuration Issue - 2 App Servers and 2 Front-End Servers

Hi,
We have a SharePoint Foundation 2013 with SP1 Environment.
In that, we have 2 Front-End Servers and 2 App Servers. In the Front-End Servers, the Search Service is stopped and is in Disabled state and in the 2 App Servers in One App Server, Search is Online and in another Search is Starting but goes to Stopped sooon
after.
Originally, we had only 1 App Server and we were running our Search Service and Search Service Application in that. Now since the index location became full and we were unable to increase the drive there, we added one more App Server and now the issue is
Search is not properly getting configured in either of these App servers. What we want to do is run Search only in the new App Server, because we have a lot of storage space for Index locations here, but in the older App Server, not run Search at all. We
tried keeping the Search Service disabled and ran the below PowerShell Scripts, but none of the ones are working. These scripts are creating the Search Service Application, but the error of "Admin Component is not Online", "Could not connect
to the machine hosting SharePoint 2013 admin component" is coming up.

Hi Karthick,
For your issue, could you provide the

For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at

2 Front End Servers with reporting enabled in topology but only one server shows reports

Hi,
We have 2 Front End Standard pool servers with resiliency enabled between them. The monitoring service is configured in the topology so that both Front End Servers point to the same monitoring database. We have half our users homed on 1 Front
end and half the other users sitting on the other Front End. In the Reports we can only see information on Audio calls made from users that are sitting on our Primary Front End Pool Server however we cannot see call information from users that are sitting
on the other front end server?
Thanks, Kevin

We have applied the backend updates and verified the config by running Test-CSDatabases cmd-let . I ran enable-cstopology and ran bootstrapper.exe and rebooted both Front End Servers, however we are still unable to see monitoring data of users
homed on our second Lync Front End server.
Any other suggestions? Thanks for responses so far, appreciate the assistance!

How to find out the names of front-end servers in Apps ?

Hi,
In the setup wherein we have mutiple front end servers (Apache running on all nodes, CM running on one of them, Forms server running on one/more of them etc ..) is there any way to know the node-names ?
FND_NODES table lists only the CM node name
FND_APPLICATION_SERVERS from 11.5.9 onwards doesnt have any info I guess
What is the find this out
Thanks

"wherever the parameter is set to YES it means this is the node you are looking for "My question is
I do not know the node names itself
And thats what I am looking for
We have very huge setup with mutiple instances and I was not part of the implementation team
Each Apps instance has about 4 or 5 front ends. They are in the farm setup over the NAS
I need to know the names of these 4 / 5 servers for each instance
Apart from asking the senior / old-timer DBAs in the team or the documentation or asking sysadmins, is there any way from the 11i Apps metadata information, I can get this info
FND_NODES in this farm type of setup just shows the name of the load balancer virtal server to which all these 4 or 5 servers point to
But not the actual names of the servers

My phone is shot and I need to upgrade. Has there been a fix to the problem? Apple told me there was some sort of interference with the airbag system. Jaguar was totally unhelpful.

A problem was encountered with one of the files in TestStand\AdapterSupport\LabVIEW directory

When looking at the module for a LabVIEW VI being called from TestStand, I get the following message:
A problem was encountered with one of the files in TestStand\AdapterSupport\LabVIEW directory. Please reinstall it or repair it.
I made the mistake of cleaning up C: in my computer. Cleaning C:\National Instruments Downloads
Why would someone put bits of applications or modules, etc in such a directory?
I am not too crazy about restoring 11GB back into that folder. That's just insane!
Has anyone encountered this before? Any "easy" solutions? apart from re-installing TS...
Side note: I did not touch anything in the \Program Files|National Instruments\TestStand\AdapterSupport\LabVIEW
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks PH,
I also had that. Fixed it.
I will not remove the ones in the NI downloads folder.
I will eventually need to remap everything to the appropriate drive.
I partition the drives into:
C:\     Windows and associated folders. Mostly OS stuff
E:\     Applications (this is where it will end up)
F:\     Files
G:\    Storage
H:\    Backups
I try to do what I normally implement in Linux. I hate sharing the OS with everything else.

TS3276 I have recently had a problem with one of my hotmail accounts, some sort of virus sending random emails to people in my address book. Hotmail advised me to change my password for that account, which I did. Why won't mail recognise the new password?

I have recently had a problem with one of my hotmail accounts, some sort of virus sending random emails from my address book. Hotmail advised me to delete all contacts and change the password for that account, which I did on my laptop running windows XP. The change was successful and I was able to send and receive emails with no problem. I then had to change the account password on my iPhone 4s, which I did and it too was successful but when I came to change the password on my iMac, running the latest version of Lion it would not recognise the new password. I have tried to remove the account details and re-install but every time I go to add new account my old details are in the box. This is very frustrating as I use my iMac for all my profects and I need to access my email. Please help.

hi guys,
I had already deleted all reference to the hotmail account in question from the keychain access app, I have also tried to delete and re-instal the account details from within mail. The icon in the side bar dissapears but when I go to Add Account, the old account details are in the new account box. I then input my new password but am told that the server does not recognise it. If I access hotmail via google on the iMac I can get into my account with no problems. I am thinking there must be some other form of security system within the mac software that is blocking the new password. This is driving me nuts. I have been trying to resolve this for the last two days. Thank you for your advise anyway.

Just installed Lion and the Magic TrackPad and I am having a problem with one click commands. I have to hit the pad fairly hard with one finger to get it to accept the command. Is this normal, is there another way that I am suppose to execute commands?

No you just need to turn on Tap to Click. Go into System Preferences - Trackpad and click the Point to Click tab and select the first box which will say Tap to Click and you should be in business.

I'm having problems with iPhoto and the facebook set-up. Every time I attempt to do so it says an error has occured and try again later. I have not seen a solution posted. Therefore, how does one contact Apple to solve the problem? I'm new to the world of iMac but I find it a bit frustrating trying to solve basic issues/problems:(

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa
