Renamed SharePoint Services 3.0 Server

We renamed a server with SharePoint Services 3.0 installed. It seems that the SharePoint instance still things the computer is using the old name. I can't get into Central Administration. Is there a way to fix this without switching the name back?
Thanks

For what it's worth, I found out about the stsadm command which solved my problem.
cd C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\BIN
stsadm -o renameserver -newservername computer2 -oldservername computer1
Then I went into Central Administration and updated the access mappings.

Error 503 after renaming SharePoint Foundation 2013 Server

We renamed a SharePoint Foundation 2013 server using the procedure outlined here:
http://www.bluesphereinc.com/blog/renaming-a-sharepoint-20102013-server/
Everything seemed to work fine until we tried to access the site afterwards. Now all we get when trying to access the site is the Error 503: Service is unavailable message. We can get into central administration without any problems.

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you encountered 503 error after renaming SharePoint Foundation 2013 Server.
For your issue, please refer to the actions as follow:
1.Check the web site properties in IIS. Under home directory tab, check the application pool value and then open that application pool from the application pools (separate node in the IIS tree). Click the
identity tab and see who is the pool assigned to. For the sake of testing, you can select "Predefined" and select local service from the drop down. Restart IIS and see if things work out for you. Http 503 error is generated by the IIS and it happens
when web server sends data stream back to the web site.
2.Verify that all SharePoint services are started, this error might occur because of changing the service account password. You may need to change the new password to application pool or SharePoint timer
service. Click the stopped application pool -> click advanced settings ->Identity ->click the user to retype the user ->Application Pool Identity dialog ->click set -> manually type the user name and password. Then restart the server.
If your issue persists, please provide detail error message of ULS log
to determine the exact cause of the error?
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS

Rename State Service Database in SharePoint 2010

As the title says, I want to rename/change database for State Service Application.
I did some experiments wit it as suggested by others but I think I somehow managed to broken my service.
I can SharePoint Products Configuration again and I got another database State_Service_GUID which I didnt want at the first place.
I followed the steps on
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff851878.aspx#State and it failed as well, and I am in middle of no where.
I am even not sure if my service is properly running or not. I can see it in Service Applications page in Central Administration as Started but I cannot select it and use ribbon operations on it.

Hi ,
Rename the Service Database
Go to SQL Management Studio and rename the database
Open SQL Management Studio. You may have to go to your SQL Server to do this.
Attach to the instance that host SharePoint
Find your database
Right click on the database name and choose Rename
Delete the GUID off the end of the name or make the name whatever you want then press Enter. SQL Database is now renamed. Notice I changed all of the spaces to underscores. Why? Because DBAs hate spaces in names more than they hate GUIDs and I am a nice
guy.
Now go to your SharePoint Server and use PowerShell to set the database name.
Click Start > All Programs > Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products > SharePoint 2010 Management Shell. If you have UAC enabled be sure to run it as Administrator.
Then run the following line. Be sure to replace your info for service app and database name.
Now you can celebrate you have saved the world another GUID. I have a master post here with all of the anti GUID posts linked in one place. Right here.
Thx

What to specfify in CA Reporting services integration (Report server web service URL) when using SSL for both SharePoint and SSRS?

Hello,
We are using Sharepoint 2010 and SQL Server reporting services 2008 R2.    We have the sharepoint site bound to port 443 using a certificate.   We also have the same certificate bound in the reporting services configuration manager's
web service URL tab.    In CA should we put the SSL URL or the non SSL URL?    Right now in CA it has the then non SSL URL,
http://fakehostname/ReportServer_REPORTSERVICE.     We have some sporadic issues and I am wondering if setting this to our SSL URL will help.    Please let me know
if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Sean

What is the different between Sharepoint fast search service and Sql server fulltext search?

HI ,
I want to kow what is the different between Sharepoint fast search service and Sql server fulltext search?
Or Can I abstract the Sharepoint fast search from the Sharepoint platform as a isolate component?
Thank you.
James

They are very, very different beasts.
Firstly FAST Search for SharePoint is the old name for the product and is only relevant for SharePoint 2010 not 2013. It got merged into the standard SharePoint search for the 2013 release.
SharePoint search is aimed at providing a Bing or Google like experience for your intranet content, as well as providing some nifty features that are purely SharePoint releated along the way. That means it can crawl SharePoint content, file shares,
outlook mailboxes, internal and external websites and probably fifty other different things if you really tried. Whilst i'm not an expert on SQL full text search I believe it's intended to provide a search feature for content held within SQL databases
and tables.
Can you run SharePoint purely for Search? Yes, definitely.

Report service Integration (sql 2012 and SharePoint 2013) error Report Server WMI Provider error: Invalid namespace

Report Server WMI Provider Error: Invalid namespace
Domain Server, Sql2012 server and SP2013 Server (3 vm servers)
the sql server reporting services service application and applications Proxy are installed and started (SP2013 Sever)
the sql server PowerPivot system Service and SQL server Reporting Services Service are Started (in Services on Server)
in sql server 2012 sp1 reporting service configured (web service URL and Report Manager URL are configured and tested, the database report server mode is native) (SQl 2012 Server)
under general Application Settings .. trying to setup the "Reporting Service Integration" give us the above error message (Report Server WMI Provider Error: Invalid namespace)
I was looking for all blogs and TechNet material but without success.

Follow these steps:
1) Uninstall SSRS from the Database Engine server (MSSQLSERVER instance).
2) Install SSRS on the SharePoint server using the "Reporting Services - SharePoint" install option during SQL Feature selection, no other services are required (e.g. you do not need to install Database Engine services).
3) You should then see SSRS as a Service Instance in Central Admin -> Manage Services on Server, at which point you can also create an SSRS Service Application.
While this guide (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219068.aspx#bkmk_install_SSRS) walks you through it, this is for a single server install where the Database Engine is also installed on SharePoint, not something you want to do.

Issues when Sharepoint Services 3.0 OS upgraded from windows server 2003 standard to windows server 2003 enterprise

In my sharepoint 2007, I have upgraded the OS from windows server 2003 standard to windows server 2003 enterprise R2 SP2. After the OS upgrade when I run the central admin it's showing this error "Microsoft Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0 Error 2908
error has occurred" screen shot below of the error.
Any help?

Not sure I can help. In general MS does NOT support the upgrade of the Underlying OS without re-installing SharePoint. Many of the prerequisites that were installed when SharePoint was installed are OS specific. You can either contact
Product Support and see if they can provide any assistance or re-install SharePoint from scratch and re-attach/migrate all the existing databases with content into the new system on the new OS.

HI,
Can any one help me,
I am planning to install project server 2013, what are the service applications and Services ( Manage services on server in central admin ) in sharepoint are required for project server 2013 to work fine, so that i will run only service
application and services to increase server performance..i don't want to configure all service applications when i am configuring.
Thanks in Advance..
vijay kommireddi

Hi Vijay,
If you are installing Project Server on SharePoint farm, You need to start the service Project Application Service which would be available after you install project Server 2013.
For Project Server Reporting you need to start Excel service and Secure Store service.

Copy windows sharepoint services list items into another sharepoint server list

My requirement I have one windows SharePoint services 2007 site list. one SharePoint server 2013 site. 1.I have to copy data from windows SharePoint services 2007 site list to SharePoint server 2013 site list. 2.when ever data changes in windows SharePoint
services 2007 site list data has to reflect into SharePoint server 2013 site list.
Could u pls help on this

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to copy data in SharePoint 2007 list to SharePoint 2013 list and the data in SharePoint 2013 list changes with the data in SharePoint 2007 list.
You could use JavaScript client object model to retrieve SharePoint 2007 list items and copy them to other SharePoint 2013 list.
An official documentation about how to retrieve list items:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/hh185007(v=office.14).aspx

And you could use SharePoint event receive to monitor the list items.

Not able to start the service 'Windows SharePoint Services Adminisration' in the server hosting SharePoint 2007 farm

While upgrading my SharePoint 2007 farm to June 2013 CU , I saw the service ‘Windows SharePoint Services Adminisration’ was not starting. This is throwing error on every attempt of service start.

While further investigation with Microsoft, the below approach was suggested :
Back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.
Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
Locate and then select the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
Right-click Control, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
In the New Value box, type ServicesPipeTimeout, and then press Enter.
Right-click ServicesPipeTimeout, and then click Modify.
Click Decimal, type the number of milliseconds that you want to wait until the service times out, and then click OK. In my case put it as 60000
(60 secs)
Exit Registry Editor and then restart the computer.
The above steps resolved my issue and the service was successfully started.

User profile synchronization service wont start after SharePoint Service pack SP2

Hi
-Using SharePoint 2010 with 1 appserver and 2 frontend webservers on Service Pack2. (ms server 2008r2, SQLServer2008r2).
-Farmaccount has been set to local admin on all sp servers.
-Firstly, the User Profile Service Application runs fine and is started. Dont mix it with the User profile synchronization Service.
Prior to installing SP2 User profile service application and user profile synchronization service were running fine.
The first thing I did after the installation of SP2 was running the:
-psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait
As SharePoint setup user (spadmin).
This ran fine on the 2 front end web servers.
However i got one fault on the Appserver:
I have also tried:
PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures
which led to same resulting error.
So I tried to start the Use profile synchronization service as suggested manually by logging on with the Farmaccount, starting the user profile synchronization service through Central Administration. This led to Stuck on Starting status.
The windows services Forefront had status starting, then stopped.
One question:
Prior to starting the User profile synchronization service through Central Administration. What account and startup status should the 2 Forefront Windows Services have? (Automatic and local system?) or (Automatic and Farmaccount?) or (Disabled and Local
system?) or (Disabled and farmaccount?). Because i know that SharePoint UPA will provision these services though Central Administration. However what is the default state prior to starting the Synchronization service?
So i continue...
Since it was stuck on starting i stopped it with:
stop-SPServiceInstance -identity <upaSyncguid>
which gave me:
Stop-SPServiceInstance : An object of the type Microsoft.SharePoint.Administrat
ion.SPServiceInstanceJobDefinition named "job-service-instance-36bdf2ef-58f2-45
e5-8f78-ab75f646611a" already exists under the parent Microsoft.SharePoint.Admi
nistration.SPTimerService named "SPTimerV4". Rename your object or delete the
and i could fix with:
#Stop the stopping:
stsadm -o provisionservice -action stop -servicetype "Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.ProfileSynchronizationService, Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles,
Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" -servicename FIMSynchronizationService
I also removed the forefront certificate from personal - certificate store, as this is provisioned when user profile synchronization service is provisioned.
That set the Central Administration Status on the User profile synchronization Service to disabled. Fine.
Everytime i tried to start the user profile synchronization service (logged on as farmaccount), left it for 10-15 min and did iisreset and restart sharepoint timer service, and also tried rebooting the appserver. No change.
A thought, is it important to restart timer service and do iisreset on the two frontend servers after trying to start the user profile synchronization service on the appserver?
I'm getting to the point were i just want to delete the whole service application and set it up anew...
any tips will be greatly appreaciated.

You're very welcome, hope it helped, if not the I suggest you clear the configuration cache as follows.
The config cache is where config settings are stored locally on the Microsoft SharePoint server, so a SQL call isn’t required.
To clear the cache:
Stop the SP Timer service. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click
Services.
Right-click SharePoint 2010 Timer, and then click Stop.
Close the Services console.
On the computer that is running Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 and on which the Central Administration site is hosted, click
Start, click Run, type explorer, and then press ENTER.
In Windows Explorer, locate and then double-click the following folder:
%SystemDrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config\GUID
Notes
The %SystemDrive% system variable specifies the letter of the drive on which Windows is installed. By default, Windows is installed on drive C.
The GUID placeholder specifies the GUID folder. There may be more than one of these.
The ProgramData folder may be hidden. To view the hidden folder, follow these steps:
On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
In the Advanced settings list, click Show hidden files and folders under
Hidden files and folders, and then click OK.
You can also simply type this directly in the path if you do not want to show hidden files and folders.
Back up the Cache.ini file. (Make a copy of it. DO NOT DELETE THIS FILE, Only the XML files in the next step)
Delete all the XML configuration files in the GUID folder (DO NOTE DELETE THE FOLDER). Do this so that you can verify that the GUID folders content is replaced by new XML configuration files when the cache is rebuilt.
Note When you empty the configuration cache in the GUID folder, make sure that you
do NOT delete the GUID folder and the Cache.ini file that is located in the GUID folder.
Double-click the Cache.ini file.
On the Edit menu, click Select All.
On the Edit menu, click Delete.
Type 1, and then click Save on the
File menu. (Basically when you are done, the only text in the config.ini file should be the number 1)
On the File menu, click Exit.
Start the Timer service. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click
Services.
Right-click SharePoint 2010 Timer, and then click Start.
Close the Services console.
Note The file system cache is re-created after you perform this procedure. Make sure that you perform this procedure on all servers in the server farm.
Make sure that the Cache.ini file in the GUID folder now contains its previous value. For example, make sure that the value of the Cache.ini file is not 1.
Check in the GUID folder to make sure that the xml files are repopulating. This may take a bit of time.
