SharePoint 2013 Help broken

Hi,
SharePoint 2013 help system at: http://office.microsoft.com/client/15/serverhelp/results?qu=List&products=WSSEndUser&lcid=1033&SYSLCID=1033&UILCID=1033&Version=15
seems to have broken. Can moderator please report the issue to Microsoft?
Thanks,
techie

Hi Techie,
This issue is a general issue and it is not from your system and configuration.
Microsoft is working on this issue and try to find a solution as quickly as possible.
One way to solve temporarily, in some cases, you can follow the steps below:
Go to Central Administration URL and replace "default.apx" by“_admin/privacy.aspx”.
Scroll down to “Display Help from external Web Sites as specified by each Help collection” and click “No”.
This will allow to use local SharePoint help, not online help until Microsoft fix this issue.
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

SharePoint 2013 "Help Menu" not working (Sorry, the page you're looking for can't be found)

The Built in SharePoint 2013 Help Menu (?) on our Enterprise Farm for both the sites and Central
Admin does not work.
On Central Admin help the error comes back as: "Sorry, the page you're looking for can't be found".
The site collections Help menu gets the error :
"Unfortunately, help seems to be broken...
There aren't any help collections in the current language for the site you're using."
We have installed on all servers in the farm:

I'm interested in getting the local help to work while this is offline, I saw the following in an article, did you do this and it still does not work for you?
"However the help won’t show up in
SharePoint 2013 sites. You need to change the Help Collection item property SharePoint
Version to15 to
make it work."

Sharepoint 2013 search broken after upgrade from 2013 foundation to 2013 ent.

Hello
I have tried many of the suggestions that I have found in the forums for this issue but non have worked as of yet.
I have sharepoint 2013 sp1 running on server 2012 R2 connected to SQL 2012 DB, which was upgrade from SharePoint foundation 2013. Everything is working with the exception of the search. the errors are below.
Application Server Administration job failed for service instance Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceInstance (1d094485-eab9-458d-a363-4b5e8704048f).

For some reason this is using the farm account which is not the account used for the search service but has full access to the sites and databases. So I'm not sure what or where it is getting an access denied error. Is there any way to find what it is trying
to access? BTW I have disabled the loopback check, verified it has correct access to %windir%\tasks and recreated the search service many times, changed application pool accounts

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you encountered the error Application Server Administration job failed for service instance Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceInstance
after you upgraded SharePoint 2013 Foundation to SharePoint Server 2013.
For troubleshooting your issue, please try adding the farm account on the Server local administrator group and see if it is related to permission issue. Then try stopping the Timer Service, clearing
the Configuration Cache and restarting the Timer Service:

SharePoint 2013 theme broken accidently

In SharePoint 2013 if I try to change the look, and select "Tokyo" from the Site Layouts dropdown, the elements in the preview are all broken.
Menu items are appearing on the page which should only appear on hover, ribbon is broken, names like "BrowseTab 1 of 3, PageTab 2 of 3 SiteTab 3 of 3" are appearing.
I have not deleted any css or js or aspx file, only created a minimal master page and added some snippet to it.
I do see a 404 in FireBug: https://ourdomain.sharepoint.com/_catalogs/theme/Themed/E7642FC7/tokyo-B210DD14.themedcss?ctag=32
I would like to restore Tokyo site layout back to its original form.

Restored tokyo.css to site definition in SharePoint designer and that fixed it.

SharePoint 2013 Snippets usage advice and help

SharePoint 2013 Snippets usage advice and help
I am new to SharePoint Site development. I am creating a simple public website to look similar to their old one.
I have created a masterpage that looks OK using the design manager, and also a page layout. I have got the website looking half OK.
I seem to have difficulties all the time when it comes to snippets - and finding specific help on how to use each individual one.
So the main question - where would you advise I go to get help?
The current snippet issue is:
> regarding to top navigation menu
> I have inserted one into the masterpage - and got it working
> However it will not let me do submenus when I go into Edit Links
> But I then went to site settings and did the edit links from there
> It let me there - but it's a different menu !! (I now have two)
> I can't see this second menu from within the snippets - it defaults to one that does not allow sub menus
> So how do I change the snippet to look at the menu I was able to edit
But more generally - when I get this kind of issue, where to I look for the solution?
Thanks in anticipation

Hi Mike,

Sharepoint 2013 config, DNS, Intranet Users... Please Help!

Hello all, first of all thank you for reading this post. Please bare with me, I am new with this environnement. I have had several problems in past week trying to configure a local sharepoint server 2013, most of it went well but now I am stuck and I badly
need help! I intend to make sharepoint available through the Ethernet connection in my office.
Here is my config:
Sharepoint 2013 (local)
Microsoft SQL 2012
Microsoft Server 2012
I am able to access the sub-site I created in the Sharepoint Central Administration Web Application.
My first problem is, I created another Web Application with the following URL config http://intranet.[domain].com but I am not able to access it through my browser. It seems to point to bad IP I probably configured accidentally a CNAME on my hosting Cpanel
with the IP 192.168.1.199. So, When I ping the URL I do not get any connection. Just that it couldn't connect to 192.168.1.199. Now I added a CNAME on my CPANEL for the URL http://intranet.[domain].com --> 127.0.0.1. Is this the correct way to do it?
But then, this will only allow to connect to the server in local. I want all the LAN users at my office to be able to connect to this intranet.
More information: The DNS manager has been configured following this tutorial:
Create SharePoint 2013 Web Application
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW7LT99eUMs
I am not too sure of the proper configuration for the IIS Manager.
Anomymous Authentication is enabled
Windows Authentication is enabled
Everything else is disabled.
My second problem is that I cannot invite any user to the site. Even the one that have the email corresponding to our domain. Will I be able to invite parent domain users if the Web Apllication is properly configured with the CNAME on the Cpanel?
I tried to activate the External user invitation feature from Site Collection Features but it's not in the list. I am logged in as an administrator but next to the wrench it says "System Account" (with an arrow pointing down) so I guess this is the
"logged in user as..."? Am I missing something here?
Any advices would be greatly welcomed. I've run out of ideas.
Much appreciated,
Herb

Thank you so much for your reply Amr, this helps a lot.
Thank you for the link, I have a few questions with regards to adding users.
Quote Amr.: For the dns record it depends on whether you are willing to expose your intranet to external
users If your interanet will be used internally just add a record inyour internal DNS server to bind the address intranet.domain.com
For now, we plan only to make the SP for internal purposes.
Question: So as I understand it, even if my corporate hosting website domain is not linked through a CNAME to my local SP server, it shouldn't be a problem to invite local users with the email they have hosted
with the same domain as the intranet domain I plan to use right (Ex.: intranet.mydomain.com / myusers.mydomain.com)?
Am I gonna have problem adding users with an email under the same domain?
I tried to allow external users invite last week but I couldn't find the Activate External User function in the list for that purpose. I was logged in as a system admin and was looking that thing for hours.
My only hope inviting user with the same domain as the intranet url will be to configure my SP using your recommendation with the link given (Configure alternate access mappings for SharePoint 2013).
Much appreciated,
Herb

SharePoint 2013 Newsfeeds are not same as Office 365 Newsfeeds, why? need help!

I completed SharePoint 2013 preview server installation and configuration. When I put a YouTube link on my Newsfeeds it does not show the preview as it shows in Office 365 Preview.
Can someone help me get those features on my SharePoint 2013 server? any help is appreciated!
Thanks....

Has Distributed Cache service been started in the machine SharePoint is running on? If not, it must be started before it provisions feeds. The following steps to start Distributed Cache service:
Open Central Administration, click Application Management category.
In Service Application section, click Manage Services on Server.
On the Services on Server page, start Distributed Cache service.
Or use PowerShell script:
$instanceName ="SPDistributedCacheService Name=AppFabricCachingService"
$serviceInstance = Get-SPServiceInstance | ? {($_.service.tostring()) -eq $instanceName -and ($_.server.name) -eq $env:computername}
$serviceInstance.Provision()
As far as I know feeds rely on
Distributed Cache to store data for very fast retrieval across all entities.
Hope this helps.

Hi cagman,
Please make sure Search Host Controller Service, Search Query and Site Settings Service, SharePoint Server Search are started on manange services on server.
Then check the Search service application, and make sure search application topology is ok.
Then reset Index, and run a full crawl. After crawling, search again, compare the result.
In addition, here are some similar posts, please check if they are useful for you:

SharePoint 2013 Architecture Concepts Help

I'm mainly a SharePoint 2010 administrator. Recently I've taken on a role that requires many SharePoint hats including figuring out to architect our SharePoint 2013 environment. I'm the only one here that knows anything about SharePoint that
is dedicated to this project - and while I'd like to think I know a lot, I'm not an architect. I've been researching and researching, and I have a few questions:
- SAN? (or DAS or NAS) Is it necessary? How does this relate to the storing of databases in SQL?
- We are going to have about 25,000 users total, 7,000 concurrent, moderate use of search, and 11 department site collections (needs to be 3 content databases to segregate data for 2 departments). Should I follow diagrams for a medium or large farm?
- I'm looking at the diagrams for a virtualized environment and they have more WFEs than the non-virtualized, why is this? Is there a reason why they have two servers on one host?
- It says 500 GB for index storage, is this per database or total? I'm used to auto-generating content databases as you configure, I've never created the database first then assigned it to the service. Do all the search functions go into this
single 500GB databse?
Thank you so much for your help in advance! Please let me know if you'd like to know what I have for architecture so far...

Depending on your needs for High Availability, some approaches require that the SQL Servers are connected to the same SAN/NAS via Fiber Channels. The idea is that your database files live on the SAN/NAS and can be served by more than one SQL Server. Therefore,
if one SQL Server goes down for any reason, the other can step in. More information on SQL Server 2012 High Availability:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190202.aspx
There are a lot of factors that play into deciding the topology that would best fit your use-case. Things to take into consideration include types of activities (publishing/reading or highly collaborative), response time requirements, availability requirements,
patterns of usage (spikes and distribution). The good news is that you can convert a Medium topology into a Large topology with additional hardware when needed.
They have two servers on a single host for redundancy in the case that 1 of the VMs goes down. With virtualization there are little arguments against taking advantage of this with very minimal trade-off in performance.
The Search index lives on the file system and the size will highly depend on what type of content you are crawling. (Example, a Word file has a lot more data to index than a JPEG image with only the metadata). The 500GB starting point is for the farm.

Displaying help topics in SharePoint 2013

Hi, can anyone recommend a web part, app (or anything else) that would let me display help topics in SharePoint 2013 as shown in
this mockup (http://sharepointhelp.weebly.com/)? I've been trying to find an app or web part but haven't had any luck so far.
Thanks.

There are also a couple third party tools that could be used to help with this need. Two of my favorite are:
Content Panda: http://www.contentpanda.com/#in-context-help
and SharePoint Shepherd's Guide :
http://www.sharepointshepherd.com/sharepointtutor2013.aspx
Both of these are excellent tools.

Migrating to Sharepoint 2013 from 2010 - Can you use the same URL for the Web Application without affecting the 2010 environment?

Hi,
I am currently trying to migrate our SharePoint 2010 environment to SharePoint 2013. The first thing I'm doing is creating a 2013 development environment to verify that this migration goes smoothly. I'm also doing this so that we will have a testing environment
after the upgrade to 2013 is complete.
So here is my question: I have a 3 tier farm including; 1 app server, 1 wfe, and 1 sql server. I have made a copy of our SharePoint 2010 database and installed that on our sql server 2012 sever (This new environment is on 3 completely separate servers from
our 2010 environment). I have also installed the prereqs and configured SharePoint 2013 on the App server and wfe servers, as well as configuring the necessary service applications (I have created a completely new 2013 database where I will migrate my 2010
database content when I'm ready).
I am now at the point where I need to create a new web application on the 2013 app server, where I will be migrating the copied 2010 database. (Also note that we have a 2010 development site called https://[email protected])
When I go to create a new web application in our 2013 dev environment, can I use the same url (https://[email protected]) to create this web app, or will this screw up our current 2010 dev environment?
I'm new to SharePoint migrations, so I apologize if this is a stupid question.
Thanks in advance for any insight you can share on this!
Boe Barlage

So, what you are recommending is that before I create a web application in my new 2013 environment, I need go into my hosts file on my 2013 app server and alter it to point to my 2013 wfe.
Then after I do that, then I can create my new web application on my 2013 app server with the same url as my 2010 testing environment
(https://[email protected]).
Then after that I should be able to access my new sharepoint 2013 environment at the same URL (https://[email protected])?
I must be missing something.
In your first reply, you told me to alter the host file on my 2010 app server and point it to my 2010
wfe (I guess I thought it probably already is). You also told me to alter the host file on my 2013 app server and point it to my 2013 wfe.
so I am confused on after I do this, what url would I access my 2010 test environment, and what url would
I access my 2013 test environment?
I am fine with having my test environment as a different URL until I am totally ready to roll everything over and kill the 2010 site. But I want to make sure that when I migrate my database, none of the site links are broken.
I also want to make sure that if I proceed this way, I want to be sure that I will be able to modify the URL to what my 2010 environment is (without a lot of headaches) when I am ready to kill the 2010 site.
Thanks again for your help, it's much appreciated!

One drive (sky drive) for sharepoint 2013

Looking for support on the one drive: referenced here:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2903984
We have Sharepoint 2013 and would like to use the sky drive (one drive)..
We don't use Office 2013, but Office 2010
I found the link to the download of onedrive.
The download name was:
Setup.x86.en-us_GrooveRetail_3V9N8-W93CC-FQPB8-Y9WVF-TVGJ3_TX_PR.exe
I am trying to send the one drive out to all our computers at our business to be used with Sharepoint 2013.
The downloaded install doesn't appear to be a standalone install. I opened up a command line.
put Setup.x86.en-us_GrooveRetail_3V9N8-W93CC-FQPB8-Y9WVF-TVGJ3_TX_PR.exe /?
This gives the following output.
Usage:
SETUP mode [path to configuration file]
SETUP /download [path to configuration file]
SETUP /configure [path to configuration file]
SETUP /packager [path to configuration file] [output path]
SETUP /help [path to configuration file]
/download Downloads files to create an Office16 installation source
/configure Adds, removes, or configures an Office16 installation
/packager Produces an Office App-V package from an Office installation source
/help - Prints this message
I tried the Setup.x86.en-us_GrooveRetail_3V9N8-W93CC-FQPB8-Y9WVF-TVGJ3_TX_PR.exe /download
This supposedly will download files needed to create an office16 installation source. I don't want an office16 installation source, but I want the onedrive stanalone installer.
The command didn't download any files.
So does anyone know how to deploy the onedrive to multiple computers. Make note we don't have office 2013 any reference to trying to create a custom install for it useless because we don't have the product.
Please help.
Adam J.

Do you know where to find the .msi? I have the above .iso extracted. If I run groovemui.msi I get the following error:
Error 1713: Setup cannot install one of the required products for Microsoft GrooveMUI (English) 2013.
Thanks!
EDIT: I am also trying to install ODfB standalone on top of Office 2010.
Hi vmanning,
you will need to use the setup.exe (found in the Office2013 ISO) - you can't just use the MSI for groove (ODfB).
You will need to create a customisation of the Office2013 (either MSPfile, or config.xml), to set the feature states as you wish (i.e. ODfB=runfrommycomputer(Local), and everything else=notavailable(Absent))

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179097.aspx#Set_feature_installation_states
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179195.aspx
Also, note that there is a bug in the Office2013+SP1 ISO, so to avoid this bug, use the original Office2013RTM ISO; refer:

Getting Error while creating a new column in a list or library in a site collection - Sharepoint 2013

Hi,
I am getting below error when i create a new column in a library or list,
"Save Conflict
Your changes conflict with those made concurrently by another user. IF you want your changes to be applied, click back in your browser, refresh the page, and resubmit your changes"
Any help please.
Smile Always

Hi,
I have done a test in my SharePoint 2013. And I can re-appear your issue.
Per my test, I found that If there are more than one user create a new column in
a library or list at the same time, when we
click ok after the other users, we will get the error.
Or if we open a library or list in two windows with the same user, when we
create a new column in a library or list in two windows
at the same time, we will get the error.
To resolve your issue, refresh your page and
create a new column again.

Reporting Services Error activating ReportingWebService.svc in SharePoint 2013

Hi MOSSDeveloper1,
Below is our suggestions:
1, try to open the URL in the Browser directly, then to see what happen. Maybe you can do the next action plan based on the error message in the Browser.
http://localhost:32843/99f510a2628e4f24a5dbde00a57f0cbb/ReportingWebService.svc
2,Try to get the application pool id based on the Reporting Web Service id "99f510a2628e4f24a5dbde00a57f0cbb"
Locate The Web Service in the sharepoint Web services in IIS, then click the advanced setting, you would see the application pool id;
Then Browse IIS manager "Application Pool", select the pool with the ID , restart it.
3,If the above two didn't helpful. tried to reboot the server or the steps below.
Update the web.config in the service host IIS web site and add the following. Set minFreeMemoryPercentageToActivateService to a lower percentage.
<configuration>
< system.serviceModel>
< serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled=”true” minFreeMemoryPercentageToActivateService=”1″/>
< /system.serviceModel>
< /configuration>

Reporting services in three tier SharePoint 2013 environment

Hi,
I am trying to integrate SQL Server 2012SP1 Reporting Services in a three tier SharePoint 2013 environment, but it seems it is not succesful.
The setup is as following:
SRV1: SQL Server with content, config,... and the Reporting Service databases.
SRV2: SharePoint 2013 Application server & Central Administration
SRV3: SharePoint Web Front with SharePoint sites
All application pools are started with domain accounts on SRV2 & 3
When opening the Central Administration site, the Reporting Services Service Application and its Proxy is created and configured. On SRV2 the Application exists in the application pool in IIS, but it does not appear in the SRV3. Should it be created manualluy?
In Central Administration, when opening the site settings the Reporting Services section is created, but when opening the Site Settings for the root site the section shows variables:
$Resources:ReportServerResources,ReportServerSiteSettingsGroupTitle;
$Resources:ReportServerResources,ScheduleList;
$Resources:ReportServerResources,SiteLevelSettings;
$Resources:ReportServerResources,ManageSiteDataAlerts;
I believe i need some help here.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
J

Hi J-S,
Generally, the issue occurs if you are in the Windows Powershell instead of the SharePoint Management Shell or the Reporting Services - SharePoint mode feature is not installed. So, please double check you are using the SharePoint Management Shell or install
the Add-in by installing the rssharepoint.msi instead. Here is the download link:

If it is not the issue, please install the Reporting Services - SharePoint mode from the SQL Server 2012 installation media.
