SharePoint 2013 (O365) Name Resolving Issues

I am a global administrator for my O365 environment. I am having issues with names resolving in SharePoint
I am trying to add people as term set managers in the managed metadata interface. If I just type someone's name and hit save, then it works (although their name is converted into a long garbled string). If I click the "Check Name" or
select the user from the Address Book the Save operation does not work (it says that I need to complete a required field - the term store manager field).
Also, in workflows on lists, I am having a similar issue. I am creating a workflow in SharePoint Designer 2013. I am trying to have an email send to a DL. When I manually type out the full URL ([email protected])
or when I select the DL from the address book within the Email form in SharePoint designer, the email address resolves to a strange string/GUID. It appears that the workflow is successfully sending an email to this GUID, but nobody who is a member of
the DL receives the email. If I select a user's name directly from the Address book (not a DL), that user does receive the email.
Thanks!

I believe this is a long standing bug. The first I heard of it was back in late October 2013. Open a case with MSO support.

Unable to get the SharePoint 2013 List names using Client object model for the input URL

Please can you help with this issue.
We are not able to get the SharePoint 2013 List names using Client object model for the input URL.
What we need is to use default credentials to authenticate user to get only those list which he has access to.
clientContext.Credentials = Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
But in this case we are getting error saying ‘The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.’
Instead of passing Default Credentials, if we pass the User credentials using:
clientContext.Credentials = New Net.NetworkCredential("Administrator", "password", "contoso")
It authenticates the user and works fine. Since we are developing a web part, it would not be possible to pass the user credentials. Also, the sample source code works perfectly fine on the SharePoint 2010 environment. We need to get the same functionality
working for SharePoint 2013.
We are also facing the same issue while authenticating PSI(Project Server Interface) Web services for Project Server 2013.
Can you please let us know how we can overcome the above issue? Please let us know if you need any further information from our end on the same.
Sample code is here: http://www.projectsolution.com/Data/Support/MS/SharePointTestApplication.zip

Hi Mistry,
I sure that CSOM will authenticate without passing the
"clientContext.Credentials = Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials" by default. It will take the current login user credentials by default. For more details about the CSOM operations refer the below link.

Query on InfoPath based solution for SharePoint 2013 O365

We are working on a Lotus Notes to SharePoint 2013 – O365 migration project. In that we have bunch of applications with list forms that requires UI customization using InfoPath to show the large number of columns in a tabular format / various sections /
simple rule validations / cascaded lookups.
Since the InfoPath form based solution are not supported on the next version of O365, we would like to know what is the Microsoft preferred alternative practice for such cases.

Copy sharepoint 2013 subsite names to top level site list

How could I copy sharepoint 2013 subsite names to a top site list by using workflow?

Hi,
In SharePoint 2013, we can use REST API to get all the subsite names in workflow, then add the values in to the list.
REST URI:

The farm is having 2 WFE. There is NLB setting up for them.
AAM has been set to Default.
OWA binding set to -AllowHttp, zone set to internal-http. AllowOAuthOverHttp set to true.
The strange thing is when days ago we finish the installation, we try the link http://{server_name}/somefolder/document.docx to do the test, it works fine.
But today we try the link http://{NLB_link}/somefolder/documnet.docx, above error occur.
We are not sure whether AAM setting cause this issue or some other reaone. But even we remove the AAM to use the Server Name in link, still above issue.
Any idea/comments would be appriciated.

What is the default AAM? Is it the server_name, or the NLB_Link? Might want to try having the NLB_Link as the primary (default) AAM if you haven't already?
Not sure if you have seen the Troubleshooting steps here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff431687(v=office.15).aspx#tshoot
it discusses use of the PowerShell command:
New-OfficeWebAppHost (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219459(v=office.15).aspx) which might be required for your NLB_Link.

SharePoint 2013 multi App domain issues

Hello,
All urls on purpose have a space character, this is because the forum didn't let me enter URLs.
We have a problem with the new feature of SharePoint 2013 March PU “New-SPWebApplicationAppDomain”.
We are implementing this feature for a client in Windows Azure. This lead to several technical issues to overcome and in previous LAB tests it seems that we have overcome these problems, using named binding instead of wildcard, and SNI.
Goal:
1 Webapplication with three zones:
Default zone: https: //portal-ntlm.contoso.com
Intranet zone: https: //portal-adfs.contoso.com
Extranet zone: https: //portal-fba.contoso.com
Default zone in NTLM of course is to make Search work.
With the new feature described in http ://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn144963.aspx we should be able to get App Domains working on all three (or at least two out of three zones).
In my LAB (Single server farm, running SP2013 SP1) I currently configured two zones, both NTLM to test the basics.
Default zone: https: //portal.contoso.com Intranet zone: https: //portal-ta.contoso.com
I have enabled the feature using these commands:
$contentService = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService]::ContentService
$contentService.SupportMultipleAppDomains = $true
$contentService.Update()
Iisreset
Then I do this:
New-SPWebApplicationAppDomain -AppDomain app1.fabrikam.com -WebApplication https: //portal.contoso.com -zone default -port 443 –SecureSocketsLayer       (This command works)
and then:
New-SPWebApplicationAppDomain -AppDomain app2.fabrikam.com -WebApplication https: //portal-ta.contoso.com -zone intranet -port 443 –SecureSocketsLayer   (This one doesn’t)
Then we get this powershell error in RED:
New-SPWebApplicationAppDomain : The IIS Web Site you have selected is in use
by SharePoint. You must select another port or hostname.
At line:1 char:1
+ New-SPWebApplicationAppDomain -AppDomain apps2-ta.talentenik.nl

   SPCmdletNewWebApplicationAppDomain) [New-SPWebApplicationAppDomain], Argum
entException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPAppCmdlets
   .SPCmdletNewWebApplicationAppDomain
Extra info:
I have tried using a single IP, multi IP, remove current IIS Binding, add the binding already etc. Nothing seems to work.
When I change the PORT number of the second command to anything else it binds to the expected IIS Site but on the wrong port nr.
The most strange thing also: I have a working set of VMs that actually works. I created a snapshot of the working situation. Reverted back to the before snapshot and tried to replay my steps but I keep running into issues when I try to add the second app-domain.
Can anyone help me set this up.
Thx
Stefan Peters

I was in the same situation with my on-premises environment. I did a little bit more investigation and checked the code behind New-SPWebApplicationAppDomain. I wrote a full article about this issue
http://www.vioreliftode.com/index.php/new-spwebapplicationappdomain-the-iis-web-site-you-have-selected-is-in-use-by-sharepoint-you-must-select-another-port-or-hostname/
I also provided a way to bypass the limitation and be able to reuse the 80 and 443 ports for multiple app domains.

SharePoint 2013 and IE 11 issue - While creating a Web Part Page and Editing Web Part Properties

I tried to edit a Web Part in SharePoint 2013 using IE 11 but I did not see the Edit Eeb Part dropdown menu at the top-right corner of the web part. Then I tried to create a Web Part page and I get the following error.
Cannot create a Web Part Page with the current browser. Browsers that support the creation of Web Part Pages include Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 or later, Mozilla Firefox 3.0 or later, and Apple Safari 3.0 or later
Strange !!! My web browser is IE 11.
I tried the above two tasks in Google Chrome and worked fine.
Solution:
I added the site url to local intranet zone in IE 11 and I am now able to add Web Part Page and Edit Web Part in IE 11.

jason for SharePoint 2013, we installed the March 2013 PU for SharePoint. The farm is small - a single WFE and one App server (housing Central Administration as well, both running Windows Server 2012). The install of the patches

Exchange 2013 mailbox name resolving vs. exchange server name (mailbox rule)

Hello guys,
I am running exchange 2007 and exchange 2013 CU7 in hybrid mode, while internal autodiscover a record is pointing to exchange 2007 client rule server.
When I configure outlook mailbox located on exchange 2007- I can use autodiscover using mail address ore resolve mailbox name vs. exchange server name.
When I configure outlook mailbox located on exchange 2013- I can configure it only using autodiscover mechanism ( email address - next- next etc.).
We are using EMC backup software which works with MAPI. Since I wasn't able to restore granular mailboxes, I contacted EMC and they claimed that it's very important to configure mailboxes resolving.
What should I check and configure to make it work?

Hi,
I think if we want to browse single mailbox by backup software, it will be regard to resolve mailbox name using server name, I suggest you contact EMC supplier to improve it.
By the way, they I type mailbox name which located on exchange 2013 server database and typing exchange 2007 cluster name, server name of exchange 2007 cluster changes automatically to exchange 2013 server on which this mailbox located.
A: first, we should make sure cluster was worked without any problem. Then make sure Exchange 2013 mailbox server was included in cluster.
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim

Hi Amar,
According to your descritpion, my understanding is that the Server Message bar was missing when you open documents with IE 11, and it worked well with Chrome.
Please test with IE 10. If it can work, please use IE 10 mode in IE 11.
Please add your site into IE Trusted Sites, compare the rsult.
Also, add your site into Compatibility view.

I am encountering an issue in which I need some input. This is a SharePoint 2013 environment and the issue is related to Promoted Links. The issue is that after 60 seconds the title on the promoted links disappear. Checking in developer tools, I notice
that the div tag that houses the title information disappears also. I am attaching the images that depict the behavior. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
We need more investigation for troubleshooting:
Are you using OOB promoted links app in SharePoint 2013?
Is there customization on the issue app? If so, how did you customize it?

How can I create a new Host Url Site Collection in SharePoint 2013?

Hi,
This may sound really daft, but someone is trying to create a new Team Site Host Url Site Collection. We have the one Web Application at
http://main and all site collections sit underneath. When we try and create a new Site Collection we have URL set as
http://main/sites. Our new site should be
http://newsite. I tried to remove root and sites from http://main managed paths and you can't do it.
Is it just me, but do you have to create a web application. Create Site collection for that web application and then move to under
http://main like a SharePoint 2010 migration?
Help Appreciated.
John.

In that scenario, you would need to create a new Web Application, yes. There is another function called Host-named Site Collections which would get you what you want, but it takes a bit of work:

Sharing item/folder in SharePoint 2013 on-prem

I'm trying to share an item/folder in a library (in a subsite that has unique permissions) to a user that doesn't have access to the site/library. Is this even possible?
I've tried to share the item/folder directly with read permissions, but that doesn't work (access denied). And when I share the library (read permissions) and then share the item/folder it works. But the user cannot open the item (ex. word file), it says:
"Sorry, we couldn't open: http://urltothedocument.docx".

Hi,
Yes, you can share a document or folder in a document library in SharePoint 2013.
For your issue, please take steps as below:
1.Go to your site collection -> Site Settings -> Manage Site Collection Features.
2. Make sure "Limited-access user permission lockdown mode" is deactivated.
