SharePoint 2013 dev environment as standalone with DC - PowerShell in Azure?

Hi,
I am looking for a PowerShell script that create based on a Visual Studio 2013 Azure image a dev environment in azure. I need a Standalone server with DC / SQL / SharePoint 2013 on one server.
Provide Microsoft a script for this requirement?
Regards,

First off, Microsoft does not support SharePoint 2013 on a Domain Controller. Here are some scripting resources, however:

SharePoint 2013 Dev Environment on a Laptop

Hi,
I'm new to SP and to VMs and I'm planning to buy a good laptop to do SP dev on it without needing to be connected to a server.
I guess I shoud have at leat 2 VMs (DC+SQL & SP) and It seems SP2013 memory requirements aren't modest.
Will I be OK with 16GB or is it much better to get the 32GB?
The rest of the relevant hardware is SSD-SATA 3 and i7-4600MQ (or HQ)
Many Thanks,
DD

More RAM the better. I have 32 GB and often wish for more. But 32 GB works well.
Consider adding one more small VM with IE, Office and SharePoint Designer. You could also access the VMs from software installed on the base laptop. You will get better performance (at least with IE) and a better user to server testing experience.

SharePoint 2013 site collection 'upgrade completed with errors'

Hi All,
I am in process to upgrade SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013 with all steps as mentioned in TechNet.
I was able to get all the SP2010 UI in SP2013 environment. However, when I navigated to top level site and clicked on “Site
Collection health checks”. In SP2010 environment I never used (as Farm Admin) any Video content type. It belongs
to out-of-the-box "digital asset content types" and cannot be deleted.
Therefore I changed the name of Video to our department name like "Video - Company" and ran the site collection health check again. This time there was no conflict for content types.
After ran the site collection upgrade I got following error.

Thank you.

Hi All and Inderjeet,
Thanks for your reply and pointers.
I did follow the steps as mentioned in the links above. I used some third party solutions but not for any Video solution. I was able to successfully migrated the SP2010 (WSS_Content) to SP2013 (WSS_Content) environment a few weeks back with exactly same
third party solutions and no site collection error:
I renamed the default and out-of-the box video site content type as shown:
I ran the "Site Collection Health Check" and did not receive any error as in my second screenshot.
But, after upgrade the Site Collection Upgrade and got the same errors.
I don't know if there is any SharePoint Server 2013 patch gave this error as I keep run the Windows Server 2012 (not running R2) and SharePoint Server 2013 regularly.
Can suggest how to resolve this error?
Many Thanks!!

Create a ready to use image for SharePoint 2013 development environment.

Hi
I have a requirement in which we are required to have an Image of the whole SharePoint 2013 environment, (ideally single server installation/standalone as I believe multi-tier would not be possible, or if possible suggest on that also), with all the installations
done- SQL server, SharePoint , language pack if any, App configured, search, service applications, etc etc. so that if at all required we would have that image in a server and provide that image to the developer, he would either mount it or run it and start
the SharePoint 2013 App development.
Please suggest on this.
Thanks in advance.

Not for imaging purposes.
You could have an environment that is ready-to-go with the bits installed, but not configured. You would then have a post-imaging script that would configure the farm. In this process, you would also need to make sure SQL Server was aware of the server's
new name (see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143799.aspx).

SharePoint 2013 production environment

Hi,
I have to create a SP2013 production server .There would be only one site hosted in that SP2013 Production environment.
My Question's:
Is it fine to host WFE & DB on the single server.
If No, why i should create different servers for it.
Regards,
Purvish Shah

Hi,
The WFE and DB on the same server depends on Capacity Planning and Capacity management, Capacity planning will allow you to understand the business requirement (number of users, request per user, type of content management the environment
will be used for (static -- normal content or document management etc.) based on which you can design the environment to have DB in WFE or to have different server with WFE and DB. Please refer to the url below, it summarize on the SharePoint 2013 Capacity
Planning and Capacity Management

SharePoint 2013 witing code to work with a custom list

I am asking this question since I am new to working with SharePoint 2013, but I have programming experience working with C#.net and VB.NET.
I have a workflow 2013 that is accessed by a custom list (and updated by Infopath 2013). Once a user has submitted the custom list to the workflow 2013, there will be the 'proper' authorized person in the company that will approve or reject the request.
Once the user has submitted the request, I do not want them to be able to update the list any more. I want the user to only have 'view' access.
In workflow 2010, I see that there is the impersonate step that would change the permisisons for me. However I would prefer not to use an older version of the workflow.
Thus can you show me and/or point me to links that will do the following:
1. What .net code could I use that will change the permissions on the custom list I mentioned above. The code can be in either C#.net or VB.net?
2. If I am able to use the .net code, would you show me how to 'wire together' the .net code with the 2013 workflow? I do know that I would use Visual Studio.net 2012 to write the code. Would you explain, draw a picture, and/or point me to a url that will explain
to me where to place the .net code so it is connected to the workflow 2013?

I am going have a large volume of users (about 300 to 500) from my company creating these requests. So you are saying that I should create a subfolder of each request.
Thus I have the following additional questions:
1. If I move the requests to subfolders, how will the users be able to able to find their requests when placed into a different subfolder? I have views setup for the users, would I adjust the view for each user? Can you show me in workflow how to move
the requests to another subfolder?
2. It sounds like a need a subfolder for each request is that correct? If not, do I move all requests to one subfolder?
3. Would you show me how you recommend that I change the permissions on the subfolder(s)?

Sharepoint 2013 Foundation three tier farm with two Webservers in NLB

Heloo,
I have been strugling with a problem the last htree days.
I have instelled and configured a sharepoint 2013 three tier farm with Sharepoint 2013 Foundation and MS SQL 2014 Express. This is a Test Farm and all the servers are Windows 2012 R2.
I have one SQL Server, one Application Server and two Webservers. The tow web servers are configured with Multicasting NLB. The NLB name is "sharepoint.ws.domain.net". The IP of the NLB is also in our DNS Zone.I have made a Web Application with
the name "sharepoint.ws.domain.net" on port 80 (NLB name) and a Site collection with the same name.
Now whene I am working on the Sharepoint Site I get very offen a login Window or I get the message "An error occurred while processing the request on the server. The status code returned from the server was: 0".
The error "An error occurred while processing the request on the server. The status code returned from the server was: 0" comes when I try to create a sub Site (most with no Permissions inheritance)... but not allways. I also get sometimes
the same message when I upload files (MS Office documents and PDF files).
The login Windows comes whene I am navigating throw the Sites... but also not allways.I go to the Site with an IE11 and the Site is also in the Intranet security sites.
Can you help me on this one...
Kind Regards
Ioannis Kyriakidis

With no hostname on the Web Application, you have to create Host-named Site Collections. So that complicates things a bit.
As far as NLB setup, you create Web Applications the same way you would otherwise. NLB is simply installed on both Web Servers and placed into the NLB VIP (virtual IP). The DNS A record points at the VIP.
Also set up your Windows NLB using Unicast instead of Multicast. If you have certain types of switches that block unicast ARP from multiple clients, e.g. Cisco, you may have to make an exception for them (e.g. http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/switches/catalyst-6500-series-switches/107995-microsoft-nlb.html).

SharePoint 2013 Development Environment for Devolopers

Hi All,
What is the system requirements for developing and deploying web-parts in SharePoint site for developers?
we are getting above error when trying to deploying web parts from local machine, our local machine configuration in win 7 with visual studio 2013.
Mani L

Hi,
This is a known bug that will be fixed in the future versions of the SharePoint Developer Tools.
As for now the workaround is to have the host mapped in the hosts file not to 127.0.0.1 but to your real IP address.
When you try to create a new SharePoint 2013 project or will change the URL of an existing project everything will work as expected.
Please mark the same as answer if it helps you. Thanks.

Share the same SharePoint 2013 development environment for multiple developers

Hi,
We need our developers(more than 2) to use the same ''SharePoint 2013 development server' for different application developments. Their work should not affect each others(like application pool reset etc.). How this can be achieved ?
Thanks,,

Please check the following similar post suggested that each developer could deploy his dll file to each separated web application bin folder by setting Visual Studio property "Assembly Deployment Target" to "Web Application".

Sharepoint 2013 designer assign to task with created by column failing

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got exception when we assign a task to created by column in sharepoint 2013 designer workflow.
To troubleshoot the issue, I recommend to capture the created by field value in a variable.
You can add a "Set variable workflow" action and get the value of this field. Then, add a "Log on workflow history" action and log the value of the variable and see if it is capturing the right value. And in the task action, put the variable
on the user field and do some tests.
In addition, you need to make sure the variable return field as "string" or "Email Address”.
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look at:

SharePoint 2013 Hybrid Environment

Is it possible to have a SharePoint hybrid environment with My Sites on the cloud & team sites on premise?

None of the proposed solutions actually directly address the original question. I know you guys are trying to help, but marking these questions as answered when they're obviously not may help someone's points ratings, but it doesn't help the community. I
found this question marked and answered and got excited, only to find these links are the same ones I'd already found doing basic searches and which *don't* actually answer the original question of how to fully execute hybrid with on-prem team sites and O365
MySites. The Hybrid TechNet article has lots of information on general Hybrid setup and authentication scenarios, but never specifically addresses the MySites, and the MySite article has lots of info on setting up MySites but nothing about Hybrid.
What I've found:
Yes, you do have to set the on-prem MySite Settings to point to your O365 MySite host. And that's after you've done all of the ADFS/SSO configuration (best walkthrough I've found to date:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/jj631606.aspx).
Issues we've found:
1. Task rollup from on-prem web apps doesn't seem to rollup to O365, which is an issue
2. Adding a Favorite to the Newsfeed from an on-prem web app attempts to go up to O365, but always says "We're setting up your MySite for the first time" and never seems to add anything to that O365 Newsfeed, which is another valuable tool that, if it doesn't
work in hybrid, makes it hard to recommend to customers.
Which makes me wonder if this specific hybrid integration is fully baked or fully supported at this time.
There needs to be some other category for these questions, such as "Suggestions Provided" and the question not marked as Answered until the original poster comes back and indicates the proposed solutions resolved their issue.

Sharepoint 2013 Search Query, get 'Starts With' for the whole term.

Hi,
I need to build an A to Z index for the values of a particular managed property. Managed property contains text with multiple words (for example: 'Whole Sale Items', 'Sample Items').
I need the search to return the values that start with a particular letter. 'myPropOWSTEXT:s*' should return 'Sample Items'. However, this query returns both 'Whole Sale Items' and 'Sample Items'.
Is there a way to write query so that I can get the text values that start with a letter from the beginning of the whole sentence? I mean, in the above example, is there a way that the query returns 'Sale Items' only and
NOT 'Whole Sale Items'?

Hi sukhdevtur,
Could you please elaborate the requirement? Also please provide a screenshot about the issue if possible.
What do you mean "Managed property contains text with multiple words (for example: 'Whole Sale Items', 'Sample Items')."?
Is the list column value containing multiple values(e.g. multiple choices type column, manged metadata type column)?
Also it is by design that SharePoint query will match each word divided by the special character "blank space", if it's the case for your issue, as a workaround, you can remove the "blanks space" between the words(e.g.
WholeSaleItems, SampleItems), then start a full crawl and test again, it should work.
Thanks
