Sharepoint 2013 BI feature installation multi-server deployment

Hello Experts,
I have a 6 server farm setup in which I need to enable the Sharepoint 2013 BI features, and I need some clarification as follows.
When installing reporting services for SharePoint add-in, should it be installed on all servers(application and wfes)
When installing powerpivot for SharePoint should it be installed on all servers(application and wfes)
What other add-on should I consider to install.
R,
Shola

Hi Shola,
1.No, SSRS Add-in could be deployed into WFE Servers only.
2.Yes,you need to install SQL Server 2012 SP1 PowerPivot for Microsoft SharePoint (sppowerpivot.msi) on each server in the farm.
3.No.
For more information, you can have a look at the blogs:

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.

Deploying Office 2013 x64 - feature installation state msp not applying

So I created my MSP with setup.exe /admin and configured a number of options in it. I saved the msp as "1Office64bit.msp" and saved it into the Updates folder. I also have a service pack for Office 2013 in the Updates folder.
I created an SCCM application to deploy office. My deployment installation program looks like this - setup.exe /config proplus.ww\config.xml
During my SCCM Build and Capture task sequence Office 2013 installs, the updates apply, and all of the settings in the MSP apply except for one. I specificed in the msp feature installation states to NOT install the Outlook feature, but it's not working?
Also - as a test after the task sequence completes, I run "msiexec /p \\pathtomsp\1Office64bit.msp - and it removes Office like it should. But I don't know why this doesn't happen during the initial installation?

You should use either a config xml file or an MSP during the installation of Office (2013). In your current command line it looks like you're trying to use both. As you saved the MSP file in the updates folder, simply specifying setup.exe should be enough
to start the installation and let it use the MSP.
My Blog: http://www.petervanderwoude.nl/
Follow me on twitter: pvanderwoude
So I tried just running setup.exe and it doesn't seem to be working either. I verified in the ccm appenforce.log that the install command was just setup.exe (so the change made it to the client) but Outlook was still installed.
I'm going to try changing it to setup.exe /adminfile to see if that works.

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.

SharePoint 2013: Edition requirement for multi tier setup.

Dear all,
I am planning to setup a high availability 3-tier SharePoint farm.
My question is which edition of SharePoint 2013 should i purchase? Standard version or enterprise version?
My requirement is just a simple document management system.
Any help/guides would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Regards
vinay

You can use any edition for high availability on the SharePoint side: Foundation, Standard, or Enterprise.
SQL Server is a different story, you'll want to look at the options for high availability available with each edition of SQL Server.

SharePoint 2013 library features in Firefox

I cannot get the check out options to work when using firefox to access my SharePoint 2013 libraries.
I thought it was compatible. Are there steps or add-ins required for this to work on firefox?
kwade

Hi,
Did the issue only occur in one library or in all the library? You can create a new library to check whether it works.
Did the issue only occur in one files or all the files? You can download a local copy check whether you can edit it, then upload to another library to check whether it works.
Did you have a root site collection? This issue is always caused that the web application don’t have a root site collection.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2625462
You can go to CA to create a root site collection to check whether it works.

Reporting Services in both SharePoint 2013 connected and native mode?

Is it possible to configure Reporting Services (SQL Server 2014) to support both SharePoint 2013 connected mode and local Report Server in native mode on the same server using multiple instances of RS? The reason for this setup is to avoid having to purchase
SharePoint Enterprise CALs for other users than analysts and still be able to publish standard reports to all employees.
Management and analysts -> Custom reports published through SharePoint 2013 Enterprise (SP2013 ECALs and SQL Server 2014 core license). Data alerts and Power View enabled if possible.
All employees -> Standard reports published through Native Mode Report Server (SQL Server 2014 core license). Possible subscriptions.
I find the official documentation a bit lacking in this area but can't find anything stating against the above. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could confirm before planning the installs.
What I'm aiming for is somewhat similar to the "2 Tier Topology" described at: Example
License Topologies and Costs for SQL Server 2014 Self-Service Business Intelligence
With the difference that there is a separate SQL Server 2014 server used both by SharePoint and as a standalone BI-server.
SharePoint EE + SQL Server 2014 EE
Excel Services
SSRS Add-in (Reporting Services, Power View)
SQL Server DB for SP Content, Configuration and Service Application DB:s
SQL Server 2014 EE - SharePoint + Standalone for BI
SSRS SharePoint Mode
SSRS Native Mode
SSAS (Not in SharePoint mode, skipping PowerPivot for now. Would Power View still work?)
SQL Server DB for Data Warehouse
= 1 x SharePoint EE Server Licence, 2 x SQL Server 2014 EE Server Licenses?
Deployment
Topologies for SQL Server BI Features in SharePoint - Actually gives a good overview in the section "PowerPivot for SharePoint
2013 and Reporting Services Three Server Deployment". Just remove PowerPivot Service from Server 1 and change the Analysis Services in Server 2 to a regular native multidimensional mode. Server 2 would also be used for native Reporting Services.
Fallback or even beneficial option to install SSRS in SharePoint mode on the SQL Server instance used for content and configuration?

Hi Daniel Wikar,
As per my understanding, you want to install two SQL Server instances on the same server, and configure one of the Reporting Services to SharePoint integrated mode, another to native mode.
According to my knowledge, multiple instances of Reporting Services on the same computer, where one instance runs in SharePoint integrated mode and the other instance runs in native mode is supported. But we must run all report server instances at the same
level. For example, if we are using SQL Server 2014, all report server instances must be SQL Server 2014.
Besides, Analysis Services and Reporting Services can be installed as standalone servers, in scale-out configurations, or as shared service applications in a SharePoint farm. Installing the services in a farm enables BI features that are only available in
SharePoint, including PowerPivot for SharePoint and Power View.

Deploying simple SharePoint 2013 feature causing error: "Error occurred in deployment step 'Add Solution': An unknown exception occurred while executing a sandboxed code solution request in the worker process."

When trying to deploy a sandboxed solution containing only a feature with a simple associated event receiver from VS 2013, I'm getting the following error:
Error occurred in deployment step 'Add Solution': An unknown exception occurred while executing a sandboxed code solution request in the worker process.\r\n|0
I'm working in Visual Studio 2013, deploying to SharePoint 2013.
The SharePoint project is very basic. I've only added a feature and an associated event receiver. It works without the event receiver. Then after I simply add the event receiver I get the error.
I've tried deploying directly from VS 2013 as well as publishing to a .WSP and uploading via web interface. Same error reported using both methods. I'm doing this using an Administrator account that I've confirmed is a site collection administrator.
Additionally, I've found that if I change Sandboxed Solution to False, deploy it, retract it, then change Sandboxed Solution back to True, then I can successfully deploy it. But this doesn't seem to be a permanent solution as the error will resurface a day
or two later...

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.

Automatic Deployment between SharePoint 2013 systems

Hello,
I would like to ask about the possibility of an automated deployment between a local (development) SharePoint, a test server and a productive server. Is there such a tool or do I have to do all customizations and installations separately on each of the systems?
Thank you very much for your hints.
Regards,
Radek

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to automatic Deployment between SharePoint 2013 systems.
Per my knowledge, you can move content between environments. Please refer to:

Issues with WebDav over SSL via Terminal Server when Accessing SharePoint 2013

Hi All,
We have deployed a terminal server from which multiple users access and heavily use SharePoint 2013 (hosted on a separate server). The SharePoint site is published to the internet and is operating over an SSL certificate. Over the last few months we have
been encountering a randomly occurring issue where all the users become unable to use Open with Explorer or mapped drives to access the site. During this time they can still access the site through the browser OK and download files etc. This issue sometimes
reoccurs every few days, although at points it hasn't occurred for a couple of weeks before resurfacing.
Current Terminal Server Config
TS 2008 R2 Enterprise
Site added to Trusted Sites. (have checked during broken time and still recognized as trusted)
Using IE 11, site added as compatibility view
Registries updated as below
reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters /v AuthForwardServerList /t REG_MULTI_SZ /d "*.clientsite.com"
reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters /v BasicAuthLevel /t REG_DWORD /d 2 /f
reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\Internet /v BasicAuthLevel /t REG_DWORD /d 2 /f
registry added for tabprocgrowth added to 2
My test result are below:
Restarting the SharePoint server or the terminal server will resolve the behaviour
until the issue occurs again.
Users on the terminal server can still open the
ttps://clientsite2.harrierhc.com
URL (this url is bound to the same UCC cert) with open with explorer during this time.
While users are unable to access the ttps://clientsite.harrierhc.com
URL, if they access the same site from WebDAV with a separate binding (e.g. ttp://clientsite the behaviour works fine.
All other users not on the terminal server can still use the open with explorer behaviour during this time.
IIS reset on the SP Server & restarting the web client service on the terminal server have no impact
Reimporting the IIS certs have no impact
There are numerous errors in both server’s event logs but none at the time of the issue instigation.
Clearing the IE cached certificates has no impact
Going to IE properties for the site and clicking the ‘Install Certificate’ has no impact
Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated. If you need any more info let me know. (sorry for the ttps:// links cant be posted until my account is verified?
Thanks again
