SharePoint 2013 Hybrid Architecture

Hi,
  I've a requirement that my client wants to migrate their existing system into SharePoint. The existing system is web based asp.net and it contains some documents for storage and also for collaboration. Now they want to use SharePoint OOTB support
and migrate the existing documents into SharePoint 2013. They're preferring to use SharePoint online and in some cases they want to use on-premises. Actually, they're having some confidential and non-confidential documents. They want to move non-confidential
documents into online and confidential to on-premise. Now, I'd like to know how to design the solution. Please answer my below clarifications.
1) Some users have access to Office 365 and some users have access to on-Premise. If the user hits the company url, how to redirect the user. Do we need to design the solution like custom code or need to configure at both environment?
2) If user has access to both environment, Do we need to show two url's? Based on user selection, system we need to redirect the site?
Please share your approaches...

I don't think "Hybrid" works the way you're thinking it does.
Hybrid just means that SOME webapps (URLs) live out in the cloud, and SOME webapps live on-prem... and the service apps that need to cross between them (such as getting O365 search results from an on-prem server) are performed using service app connections.
There is no magical "the same URL goes to one or the other depending on whether the user is on prem or not"
There is no magical "files categorized as [x] are kept on O365, and files categorized as [y] are kept on-prem"

  • Sharepoint 2013 Servers Architecture

    Hi
    Our current architecture of SharePoint 2013 Farm is
    1. WFE server (ip - 10.10.10.10)
    2. A server which is Application server and Database server (ip - 10.10.10.11)
    3.  Application server (Central Admin) (ip - 10.10.10.12)
    Load on the site has increased tremendously (Users =5000)(concurrent users =1000 approx.), we would have to now implement a Load balancer to retain the performance of the application.
    Now the important question is CAN THIS LOAD BALANCER BE CONFIGURED BETWEEN THE WFE(ip - 10.10.10.10) AND THE Application/Database Server(ip - 10.10.10.11).
    Please suggest.
    Regards
    Paru

    Regd your questions:
    1) As all its said earlier, Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application service should be configured and running on any server which you want to work as WFE. Other than that, you can place whatever services you like to place on WFE. Its totally
    a matter of design/architecture. You need to analyse existing resource consumption on the servers and then making a decision based on data.
    2) You can have SQL 2008 R2 SP1 for SP2013 as backend. It need to be minimum running on windows server 2008 R2 SP1.
    You may want to go through minimum software and hardware requirements for SP2013 at:

  • Why SharePoint 2013 Hybrid need SAN certificates and what SAN needs ?

    I've read this article of technet, but I couldn't undarstand requied values of SubjectAltname.
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/b291ea58-cfda-48ec-92d7-5180cb7e9469(v=office.15)#AboutSecureChannel
    For example, if I build following servers, what SAN needs ?
    It is happy to also tell me why.
    [ServerNames]
     AD DS Server:DS01
     AD FS Server:FS01
     Web Application Proxy Server:PRX01
     SharePoint Server(WFE):WFE01
     SharePoint Server(APL):APL01
     SQL Server:DB01
    [AD DS Domain Name]

     (Please be assumed that above all servers join this domain)
    [Site collection strategy]
     using a host-named site collection
    [Primary web application URL]

    Thanks.

    Hi,
    From your description, my understanding is that you have some doubts about SAN.
    If you have a SAN, you can leverage it to make SharePoint
    a little easier to manage and to tweak SharePoint's performance. From a management standpoint, SANs make it easy to adjust the size and number of SharePoint's hard disks. What you could refer to this blog:
    http://windowsitpro.com/sharepoint/best-practices-implementing-sharepoint-san. You could find what SAN needs from part “Some
    SAN Basics” in this blog.
    These articles may help you understand SAN:

  • 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.

  • Hybrid Search not working from SharePoint 2013 Online to SharePoint On-premise

    Hi,
    I have setup a SharePoint 2013 Hybrid environment setup with the following –
    Windows Server 2012 R2
    SharePoint Server 2013 with April 2014 CU
    SQL Server 2014
    ADFS 3.0 using SSO with Web proxy and DirSync
    SharePoint 2013 Online tenant on Office 365 Enterprise Subscription
    I have configured the Hybrid following the article
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj838715(v=office.15).aspx and configured Hybrid Search. The hybrid environment was working fine including Search both ways initially
    but after upgrade to April CU 2014 (along with upgrade to SQL 2014 from SQL 2012), now search from SharePoint online to SharePoint in-Premise is not working anymore.
    I am still able login with the federated IDs in both the environments and get results from SharePoint Online in SharePoint in-Premise environment.
    I have already tried most of the troubleshooting steps mentioned at
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn518363(v=office.15).aspx
    Now every time, we perform a search in our SharePoint Online site, which is configured to show hybrid results from SharePoint in-premise, we don’t get results from in-premise and instead we see the following error logged in SharePoint
    In-premise Web Server –
    Error - An exception occurred when trying to issue security token: Exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' was thrown. Parameter name: value.
    And ULS log shows the following – Even though the message seems apparent that there could be duplicate users in user profile Application, but that’s not the case. There are just 2 unique users added there.

    Any ideas?
    Anupam Shrivastava

    I am experiencing the same issue. Don't have the answer yet about what's wrong exactly. And my SSO works fine too.
    I know precisely what makes the SharePoint throw the ArgumentException, but I can't yet figure out how to influence this behavior. I will respond back if I find out, but I hope the following will create an "aha moment" for someone.
    So the SP Online issues an OAuth request to the on-prem SharePoint. If verbose logging is on for the Claims category, you may see how it reads these claims. One of them is this:
    Claim['nii':'urn:federation:microsoftonline']
    Using this claim and the nameid claim the profile mapping logic then reports the following immediately before the error (Set User Profiles to verbose to see this):
    Creating encoded sid for nameid '100300008b29cb02' and nameidissuer 'urn:federation:microsoftonline'
    Inspecting this logic with Reflector, I can see that it then attempts to infer the identity provider type from the nameidissuer, and throws the exception, because "federation" is not what it expects. It expects either "windows", "trusted" or "forms" for
    the provider type.
    So the user's actions to lead to this error were as follows:
    1. I connect to the Office 365 portal, and get redirected to my ADFS server (same domain for the ADFS server, on-prem SharePoint, and the user accounts).
    2. I log on, and from the SP Online portal I issue my search query using a result source configured as per the Hybrid TechNet guidance.
    So thanks in advance for any suggestions, on what it could be.

  • Global Architectural design for SharePoint 2013??

    Hi Friends,
    i am trying to pursue SharePoint 2013 global Architectural design before we implement SharePoint 2013 farm. FYI, Our Current SharePoint 2010 farm is three tier farm (2 web servers + 2 App servers + cluster Sql server) and total users 1,000 and its
    located in one data center. From this farm we are serving now SP site to five different countries in the world via WAN. But as our company growing rapidly, we want share point will provide robust performance. As our company globalized, how many data center
    we will need? Can we have one centralized farm in USA and other regional SharePoint farms into different countries? According to my business scenario, what will be the best architectural design?
    Any help will be appreciated!!

    "It depends" would be the answer with the information given. It depends on how much content is accessed at any one location, if a WAN accelerator could alleviate any issues end users at the remote locations were seeing, and if the company can take on the
    added complexity, extra licensing, and hardware cost that are associated with SharePoint farms.
    It would also depend if you want to replicate content (e.g. Metalogix Replicator) or if each farm will have its own unique content targeted at the specific region.

  • ADFS SSO and SharePoint 2013 on-premise Hybrid outbound search results from SharePoint Online - does it work?

    Hi, 
    I want to setup an outpund hybrid search for SharePoint 2013 on-premise to SharePoint Online.
    But I'm not shure if this works with ADFS SSO.
    Has somebody experience with this setup?
    Here's my guide which I'm going to use for this installation:
    Introduction
    In this post I'll show you how to get search results from your SharePoint Online in your SharePoint 2013 on-premise search center.
    Requirements
    User synchronisation ActiveDirectory to Office 365 with DirSync
    DirSync password sync or ADFS SSO
    SharePoint Online
    SharePoint 2013 on-premise
    Enterprise Search service
    SharePoint Online Management Shell
    Instructions
    All configuration will be done either in the Search Administration of the Central Administration or in the PowerShell console of your on-premise SharePoint 2013 server.
    Set up Sever to Server Trust
    Export certificates
    To create a server to server trust we need two certificates.
    [certificate name].pfx: In order to replace the STS certificate, the certificate is needed in Personal Information Exchange (PFX) format including the private key.
    [certificate name].cer: In order to set up a trust with Office 365 and Windows Azure ACS, the certificate is needed in CER Base64 format.
    First launch the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
    Select your SharePoint web server and double-click Server Certificates
    In the Actions pane, click Create Self-Signed Certificate
    Enter a name for the certificate and save it with OK
    To export the new certificate in the Pfx format select it and click Export in the Actions pane
    Fill the fields and click OK Export to: C:\[certificate
    name].pfx Password: [password]
    Also we need to export the certificate in the CER Base64 format. For that purpose make a right-click on the certificate select it and click on View...
    Click the Details tab and then click Copy to File
    On the Welcome to the Certificate Export Wizard page, click Next
    On the Export Private Key page, click Next
    On the Export File Format page, click Base-64 encoded X.509 (.CER), and then click Next.
    As file name enter C:\[certificate
    name].cer and then click Next
    Finish the export
    Import the new STS (SharePoint Token Service) certificate
    Let's update the certificate on the STS. Configure and run the PowerShell script below on your SharePoint server.
    if(-not (Get-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)){Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"}
    # set the cerficates paths and password
    $PfxCertPath = "c:\[certificate name].pfx"
    $PfxCertPassword = "[password]"
    $X64CertPath = "c:\[certificate name].cer"
    # get the encrypted pfx certificate object
    $PfxCert = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2 $PfxCertPath, $PfxCertPassword, 20
    # import it
    Set-SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig -ImportSigningCertificate $PfxCert
    Type Yes when prompted with the following message.
    You are about to change the signing certificate for the Security Token Service. Changing the certificate to an invalid, inaccessible or non-existent certificate will cause your SharePoint installation to stop functioning. Refer
    to the following article for instructions on how to change this certificate: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=178475. Are you
    sure, you want to continue?
    Restart IIS so STS picks up the new certificate.
    & iisreset
    & net stop SPTimerV4
    & net start SPTimerV4
    Now validate the certificate replacement by running several PowerShell commands and compare their outputs.
    # set the cerficates paths and password
    $PfxCertPath = "c:\[certificate name].pfx"
    $PfxCertPassword = "[password]"
    # get the encrypted pfx certificate object
    New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2 $PfxCertPath, $PfxCertPassword, 20
    # compare the output above with this output
    (Get-SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig).LocalLoginProvider.SigningCertificate
    [/code]
    ## Establish the server to server trust
    [code lang="ps"]
    if(-not (Get-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)){Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"}
    Import-Module MSOnline
    Import-Module MSOnlineExtended
    # set the cerficates paths and password
    $PfxCertPath = "c:\[certificate name].pfx"
    $PfxCertPassword = "[password]"

    Add a new result source
    To get search results from SharePoint Online we have to add a new result source. Run the following script in a PowerShell ISE session on your SharePoint 2013 on-premise server. Don't forget to update the settings region
    if(-not (Get-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)){Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"}
    # region settings
    $RemoteSharePointUrl = "http://[example].sharepoint.com"
    $ResultSourceName = "SharePoint Online"
    $QueryTransform = "{searchTerms}"
    $Provier = "SharePoint-Remoteanbieter"
    # region settings end
    $SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication
    $FederationManager = New-Object Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.Query.FederationManager($SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication)
    $SPEnterpriseSearchOwner = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchOwner -Level Ssa
    $ResultSource = $FederationManager.GetSourceByName($ResultSourceName, $SPEnterpriseSearchOwner)
    if(!$ResultSource){
    Write-Host "Result source does not exist. Creating..."
    $ResultSource = $FederationManager.CreateSource($SPEnterpriseSearchOwner)
    $ResultSource.Name = $ResultSourceName
    $ResultSource.ProviderId = $FederationManager.ListProviders()[$Provier].Id
    $ResultSource.ConnectionUrlTemplate = $RemoteSharePointUrl
    $ResultSource.CreateQueryTransform($QueryTransform)
    $ResultSource.Commit()
    Add a new query rule
    In the Search Administration click on Query Rules
    Select Local SharePoint as Result Source
    Click New Query Rule
    Enter a Rule name f.g. Search results from SharePoint Online
    Expand the Context section
    Under Query is performed on these sources click on Add Source
    Select your SharePoint Online result source
    In the Query Conditions section click on Remove Condition
    In the Actions section click on Add Result Block
    As title enter Results for "{subjectTerms}" from SharePoint Online
    In the Search this Source dropdown select your SharePoint Online result source
    Select 3 in the Items dropdown
    Expand the Settings section and select "More" link goes to the following URL
    In the box below enter this Url https://[example].sharepoint.com/search/pages/results.aspx?k={subjectTerms}
    Select This block is always shown above core results and click the OK button
    Save the new query rule

    Hi  Janik,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display hybrid search results in SharePoint Server 2013.
    For achieving your demand, please have a look at the article:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn197173(v=office.15).aspx
    If you are using single sign-on (SSO) authentication, it is important to test hybrid Search functionality by using federated user accounts. Native Office 365 user accounts and Active Directory Domain Services
    (AD DS) accounts that are not federated are not recognized by both directory services. Therefore, they cannot authenticate using SSO, and cannot be granted permissions to resources in both deployments. For more information, see Accounts
    needed for hybrid configuration and testing.
    Best Regards,
    Eric

  • SharePoint 2013 three-tier architecture

    Hi all, I am going to install SharePoint 2013 in a three-tier farm environment.
    I understand that the only difference between web server and app server is whether or not the "Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application" service application is running or not. If yes = web server, if no = app server. App server is also where
    CA is installed. Both web server and app server will have connection to DB. When web server serves web page requests from users, it will go to DB directly to get the page content.
    However, the real three-tier architecture actually means that only app server should have access to DB. Web server will get the information it needs from the app server.
    Is my understanding correct so far? Why is there a difference between three-tier architecture when it is applied in SharePoint context?

    No, all SharePoint servers directly interface with databases for services that they host (with some exceptions). 3 tier just means you have a "WFE" which end users interact with, and it doesn't matter what services are on that "WFE",
    another SharePoint server which may do the same or other things, but users don't directly interact with, and of course the SQL Server.

  • 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.

  • What will be physical architecture for SSAS Tabular model with Sharepoint 2013?

    I would like to build SharePoint 2013 based reporting portal with Power View as visualization tool.
    I have 300-800 million rows and customer puts priorities in high performance.
    Data source is SQL Server database and Flat Files.
    What will be recommended physical archicture? Is following good?
    -SQL Server database server
    -SSAS Tabular application server
    -SharePoint 2013 Front-End (multiple if needed)
    Kenny_I

    Hi Kenny_I,
    According to your description, you want to if it's OK to SQL Server database server, SSAS tabular application server and SharePoint 2013 Front-End on different server, right?
    As I said in another thread, even though we can install all of them on same physical server, however in the production environment, the recommendation is that install them on different server, it will beneficial to troubleshooting the issue when some
    issue occur on the environment. So in your scenario, it Ok to install all the application on different server. Here are some links about requirement to install the application.

  • Cannot install SharePoint 2013 with SP1 on server 2012 R2. IIS configuration error

    Hey Guys,
    I'm experiencing a problem which seems to be common considering the number of posts I've found about it, but none of the provided solutions worked for me.
    I'm simply trying to install SharePoint 2013 with SP1 on a Windows Server Standard 2012 R2.
    I've downloaded from the MS Volume Licensing website the "SharePoint Server 2013 with SP1" ISO file :  SW_DVD5_SharePoint_Server_2013w_SP1_64Bit_English_MLF_X19-36118. So
    this is the slipstreamed version which is supposed to bring compatibility with 2012 R2.
    As I do not have direct access to the Internet I need to perform an offline installation. I also downloaded all prerequisities. When I run prerequisiteinstaller.exe with the necessary arguments, I get the following :
    (Full log file is below)
    I've tried the following :
    - Restarted the server multiple times
    - Manually removing/adding IIS role + restart
    - Running the prerequisiteinstaller.exe from the DVD or from an extracted version
    - Manually installing the prerequisities
    - Installed .Net 3.5 as recommended here (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/0b597d35-b02d-4236-894d-38efc0c7c6f6/sharepoint-2013-with-sp1-install-on-windows-server-2012-r2?forum=sharepointgeneral)
    None of the worked. So I'm stuck and I must completed the installation of this before the end of the week for an important project !
    Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you guys for the quick answer! Muche appreciated
    I've tried all suggested solutions, but no luck :-(
    - tried http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2765260 > no help and by the way the hotfix provided is not applicable for 2012 R2.
    also tried "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regii -enable -i" and got this :

    For the automated install script (http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/DownloadInstall-SharePoint-e6df9eb8) Craig mentions that the script are not yet compatible
    "SharePoint 2013 SP1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 support coming soon

  • Deploying sharepoint 2013 foundation prerequisites requesting restart

    Hi, I am installing the prerequisites for sharepoint 2013 foundation with sp1 on a Windows Server 2008 R2.
    After the restart the server is trying to finish the prerequisites installation but never finishes and requires additional restarts.
    This seems similar to other people expirience:
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c84732fe-a5b7-4ace-8d48-3aabc972adaa/sharepoint-foundation-2013-prerequisite-installer-keeps-installing-and-restarting-the-server?forum=sharepointadmin

    There is a KB with similar description except that it is for Windows Server 2012 and probably does not apply: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2765260
    I checked the installation logs - see bellow.
    The problem I think is in lines 151-224 - especialy in 166, 167
    Install process returned (0X3EB=1003)

    I am lost here. Can someone help with additional ideas?
    It is strange, because the prerequisites application identifies all the prerequirements as installed (I think). But it still requires endless restarts.

    While reading the https://autospinstaller.codeplex.com/discussions/277130 in the last comment the source suspected was "WAS services". No solution was
    mentioned except clean install of Windows.
    At the first prerequisites installation I got the following two error messages, but do not know if it is related to the endless restarts problem:

    Hi,
    i had the same problem. First we figured out, that the Report Builder was working in the  Root Site Collection of a Web Application but not in any other Site Collection of the WebApplication.
    After that we took a look how the Report Builder is started. The Content Type got a Click Once Application as Template, but you can't open the URL in the Browser neither the referenced file can be found in the Feature folder on the SharePoint Server. Turns
    out SharePoint does some crazy http redirection and that this doesn't work on Site Collections which are not at the root. At least if you installed Reporting Services Add In Service Pack 1.
    Fun Fact: If you start the Report Builder on the Root Site Collection you can create a Report which works on any Site Collection. Its just the launch if the Report Builder which is broken.
    Our Solution was the SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 Cumulative Update 8 which fixed the Problem.
    You can request a download here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2917531
    Select the "2012_SP1_RSShrPnt_CU8_2917531_11_0_3401_x64" Fix and install it on every SharePoint Server in your Farm.

  • Single SharePoint 2013 Farm for two geographical locations

    Dear All,
    I want your expert advise and suggestion on an "Architecture" for Deploying SharePoint 2013 in multiple geographical locations. I have read every line in article:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg441255%28v=office.15%29.aspx before posting
    this question, for the following scenario:
    Scenario:
    Two locations, say, Loc1 and Loc2.
    SharePoint Farm = Collection of SharePoint servers connected to the same Configuration DB.
    WFE1 will be in Loc1 and WFE2 will be in Loc2 (and connected to the same config DB i.e. same Farm).
    App1 will be in Loc1 and App2 will be in Loc2 (and connected to the same config DB i.e. same Farm).
    Users from Loc1 will be directed to WFE1 and Users from Loc2 will be directed to WFE2.
    App1 will run services and service applications consumed by web applications specific to Loc1.
    App2 will run services and service applications consumed by web applications specific to Loc2.
    I can implement all of the above.
    Now question is "How to provide local flavor for back end SQL?"
    suppose, I configure "Active-Active" SQL clustering SQLNode1 at Loc1 and SQLNode2 at Loc2, how do I specify that web applications meant for Loc1 are fetched from SQLNode1 and web applications meant for Loc2 are fetched from SQLNode2.
    Users in Loc1 are not interested in web applications meant for Loc2 and vice-versa. Currently we are having Two (2) different farms at each location, but going forward we want to consolidate so that "Infrastructure maintenance" is minimized and
    investment in third party solutions can be leveraged by both locations.

    How far away are these SharePoint servers away from each other? Remember that regardless of where a SharePoint server is, it must be able to write to the active instance of the Configuration database, and must have that 1ms timing.
    Active-Active SQL clusters has never been mentioned, as far as I'm aware, in TechNet documentation. I'd consider this scenario unsupported unless you talked to PSS otherwise.

  • SharePoint 2013 Media Player using UNC path directly without using a Website in IIS (either out of the box or custom player using javascript only)

    Hi,
    There isn't much info on this and I am hoping its possible.
    I have come across the following article which explains how we can setup SharePoint 2013 Asset Library using video links using a website in IIS that is mapped to a UNC path.
    http://stevemannspath.blogspot.com.au/2012/12/sharepoint-2013-videos-in-sharepoint.html
    This is great. However we have an issue where I work and I need somehow to get SharePoint mediaplayer to point to a video directly using the UNC path like :- \\WINSP13\TempVideos\NTV_Carr_Indig.wmv without the use of a website in IIS.
    I understand that we won't be able to stream the video then thats ok.
    when trying to add a video link to an asset library using the UNC path, we get the following error: We don't support
    playing a video of that format from a file share.
    Is there a way or a workaround to do this? we are using only javascript to do this (AngularJS or any custom Javascript player such as MediaElement)
    Thanks
    Kind Regards,
    Will

    From a SharePoint architecture perspective, this is a BAD design, since you are rerouting the communications (from the client to the UNC) away from and outside of SharePoint... as a result, SP cannot provide any level of guarantee about the ability for videos
    to play on the client machine.
    Secondarily, I'm not sure that the browser will let you pull resources from such different locations (doing so has been the root of several type of attacks, such as "Cross Site Scripting").
    That said (and assuming the browser lets you), you can always use JS to handle creating the video player HTML and setting the UNC location... instead of using a site asset library to store the links, just create a list for the videos
