Sharepoint 2013 setup for a test site

In a sharepoint 2013 test site that I am using, I would like to be able to follow the section called 'deploy a workflow soltuion' that is located in the following url:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj819316(v=office.15).aspx.
When I look at the 'upload solution picture', I see the tabs for browse, solutions, and library. However when I look at my test sharepoint 2013 website, I see the tabs for browse and page. I do not see 'solutions' and 'library' tabs. Thus can you tell
me if my test sharepoint website is setup incorrectly or is this a permission is? Would you tell me what I can do to solve my issue?

Hi Wendy,
Do you have administrative rights on the site. Only site administrator can upload the solution to solution gallery and activate that solution.
Best Regards,
Brij K

Sharepoint 2013 Workflow not available on Site created from Sharepoint 2013 Foundation Solution Template

If I create a template on SharePoint 2013 Foundation, then create a site on SharePoint Enterprise (or Office/365) fully configured to support SharePoint 2013 workflows. When I access the site through SharePoint Designer 2013, and attempt to create a workflow
SharePoint 2013 Workflows are not available -- you get message that SharePoint 2013 Workflow platform is not available because it is not configured on the server. This appears to be a bug in SharePoint Designer as the 2013 Workflows are available on the team
site on the same site collection. There is no reason that a site created from a SharePoint 2013 foundation template should have this restriction.   To make matters worse if you then save that site as a template on the SharePoint 2013 Enterprise (or
Office/365) system and create a new site from the that template you get the same issue.
Anyone know a workaround/fix to this issue.   Have imported the template into Visual Studio but I can not find any way in Visual Studio to enable SharePoint 2013 workflows.   A solution that involves Visual Studio import would work fine
for me.

Apparently you did not read my question very carefully.   The workflow manager is configured properly on this server and for the basic Team site in this site collection the full SharePoint 2013 workflows are available in SharePoint Designer 2013.
BUT they are not available on another site in the SAME SITE COLLECTION that was created from a solution template that was created on a SharePoint Foundation server.

What's the difference between SharePoint 2013 and Office 365 Team Sites?

Hi there,
What are the differences between SharePoint 2013 and Office 365 Team Sites?
If I would like to develop a professional corporate website with SharePoint technology (because the company allready uses Office 365), do you recommend using SharePoint 2013 (in the cloud) or Office 365 Team Sites? And why?
Thank you very much!

You cannot make SPO Team Sites anonymous-enabled, therefor they're a moot point for a public website.
While slightly out of date, take a look at this:

Which laptop is good to build sharepoint
2013 environment for personal use ?

HI Chaitu,It depends on what function of development that you want to do.I suggest to have
a below configuration to work with sharepoint.
Fast CPU!
32 GB of RAM (24 GB minimum, but 32 highly recommended)
500 GB of space
Please find also in the blog to know more about configurations and the installations.

You know, it might have been cool to spam us with your project here if it were something cool for Java developers. Just because it's written in Java doesn't mean I want to see it here on a forum intended for Java developers. And I don't think Sun wants to run a de-facto bug tracker for n-type here on this forum.

Sharepoint 2013 setup group permissions

In my SharePoint 2013 test sharepoint site, I would like to know how the users should normally have access to the test sharepoint site. Would the user sign as themselves individually or would they sign on with a group id? Can you tell me and/or point me
to a url that will show how to setup group permissions and how the users should login?

There are two suggested ways to assign permissions on SharePoint sites:
    Using SharePoint Groups
    Using Active Directory Groups
Note: A site can be set up to either inherit permissions from the parent site, or to allow unique permissions to be set for the site. If the site is set up to inherit permissions from the parent site, you will have to Add Users or Active Directory Groups
to pre-existing SharePoint groups in the parent site.
Using SharePoint groups:
Click on “People and Groups”
Click on “New” from the drop-down menu
Select “New Group” Under “Choose the permission level group members get on this site:… ”
Select “Contribute” and click OK.
Click on “People and Groups”
Click “New”, from the drop-down menu
select “Add Users” Type in the netID(s) you wish to add
Click on “Check Names” (the netID(s) should now be underlined)
Under “Give permission”, select the group you just created and click OK.
Note: If site owners want their site to show up automatically in users' "My Links" in "My Site" then those users must be part of a SharePoint group and that group must be defined as the "Members of this Site" group.
Using Active Directory Groups:
Click on “Peoples and Groups”
Click on “New” from the drop-down menu
select “Add Users” Type in the name of the Active Directory group you wish to add
Click on Check Names (the group name should now be underlined)
Under Give Users permissions directly, select “Contribute” &click ok.
Note: You can specify multiple netID(s) or AD groups by separating the names with a semi-colon(;).
Below are list of permissions you can use for the site..
Permission Level
Description
Full Control
This permission level contains all permissions.      Assigned to the
Site name Owners SharePoint group, by default. This      permission level cannot be customized or deleted.
Design
Can create lists and document libraries, edit      pages and apply themes, borders, and style sheets in the Web site. Not assigned      to any SharePoint group, by default.
Contribute
Can add, edit, and delete items in existing      lists and document libraries. Assigned to the
Site name Members SharePoint      group, by default.
Read
Read-only access to the Web site. Users and      SharePoint groups with this permission level can view items and pages, open      items, and documents. Assigned to the
Site name Visitors SharePoint      group, by default.
Limited Access
The Limited Access permission level is designed      to be combined with fine-grained permissions to give users access to a specific      list, document library, item, or document,
without giving them access to      the entire site. However, to access a list or library, for example, a user      must have permission to open the parent Web site and read shared data such
as the theme and navigation bars of the Web site. The Limited Access permission      level cannot be customized or deleted.
NOTE You cannot assign this permission level to users or SharePoint      groups. Instead, Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 automatically assigns this      permission level to users and SharePoint
groups when you grant them access      to an object on your site that requires that they have access to a higher      level object on which they do not have permissions. For example, if you grant
users access to an item in a list and they do not have access to the list      itself, Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 automatically grants them Limited      Access on the list, and also the site, if needed.

SharePoint 2013 - Asking for password with NTLM

Hi All,
We have deployed a web application using NTLM with single sign on. It’s a secure site and in IIS bindings we have SSL certificate attached with this web application. However, many users are keep getting windows authentication prompt as shown:
There are lot of blog posts that solve the issue by adjust IE settings >> Security >>
Sites >> Advanced >> and added the site URL and
Security
>>   Local Intranet >> Custom Level >> At bottom choose “Automatic logon with current username and password”
http://blog.fpweb.net/sharepoint-credentials-prompt-quick-tip/#.VPBz3vmUdUW http://www.sharepointdiary.com/2012/04/sharepoint-keeps-asking-for-password.html
https://sysadminspot.com/windows/google-chrome-and-ntlm-auto-logon-using-windows-authentication/ (IE, Chrome, Firefox)
http://social.education.purdue.edu/edit/2011/03/sharepoint-pw-prompts/
I have tested the blogs posts and change the settings in our development environment
and no windows authentication was shown with my username on the SharePoint 2013 environment. But, all related to change IE settings. In our organization, we have around
2000 users. It be impractical to set for users for these IE settings and network team regularly pushes group polices.
Q: Is some configuration has to be set on IIS or
some settings on SharePoint that users don’t get windows authentication? I have tried most of options but could not resolve this issue.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Aroh Shukla

Sites go into the Intranet Zone, not the Trusted Zone. Only Intranet is configured, by default, to automatically pass credentials to SharePoint.
Yes, there are scenarios where this may not work, e.g. if you've configured the Web Application with Kerberos but didn't configure the SPN. Or if you're using Kerberos Constrained Delegation with Domain Controllers older than Server 2012 and your users are
in a different forest, etc.

SharePoint 2013 permissions for each user

I am working on my own SharePoint 2013 test site and I need to grant permission to the test accounts. I want to make certain the 3 test accounts can not see the lists, files, and workflows that the other users created.
Do I need to grant permission at the site level, user level, custom list level, for each workflow, and/or for each custom form? Do I invite each user and/or 'share' with each user? Can you tell me and/or point me to a source that will tell me what level
of permission I need and how to grant this type of permission?

Wendy,
In sharepoint, you can grant permission at any level you want. That permission will carry forward by default until someone break them and configure unique permission.
In ideal case, we recommend to use share security group to grant permission and not grant to individual user. Also try to restrict 2 default site group (Owner/member/viewer) as much possible, but in reality ppl break these rule often and eventually end up
with maintenance overhead.
I will recommenced you and everyone to go through this nice ppt which clears sharepoint permission idea in our mind.

SharePoint 2013 names for custom lists

I have the following to mention about changing the name of a custom list for SharePoint 2013.
1. In my test SharePoint area the person that is our 'admin' for SharePoint, went to the 'recent' area of my test area in quick launch and changed the name of my Custom list. The features like email messages did not work at the point.
2. I then went to list settings on the test website, and changed the name of the custom list to match the name my 'SharePoint' admin changed the name to. I reran my test workflow, and the features started to work again like the email messages.
**Note: Myself and the SharePoint 'admin' person at my company have only worked with sharepoint 2013 for 3 weeks.
Thus can you tell me relationship of changing the name of the custom list in the 'quick launch' area versus changing the name is the list settings? Do both areas need the values changed?

Your observation is currect
Quick Launch name change actually change name in navigation item (site settings -> navigation) which don't change anything on actual list. That is just a "text to display"
If you change actual list name from settings it should impact Quick Launch if "Display this survey on the Quick Launch?" Set as Yes from list general settings
I will suggest you to explore,
site settings -> navigation

Accessing Sharepoint 2013 externally for domain users and customers

Just an FYI I am not a SP administrator by any means but have be tasked with taking over this project and could use some assistance.
Sharepoint 2013 is working fine internally. Users access the site and login with their domain credentials. Our client is moving one of their departments to another building down the street and we'd like them to be able to access local resources without the
use of another server or site to site vpn or standard vpn.
My question is, how do we make Sharepoint accessible outside of their local network?
If we open up a port on the router and have it forward all request to Sharepoint server will we be able to access it?
Also, how will they authenticating with the Sharepoint Server? Do they use the same user credentials?
I forgot to mention this is Sharepoint 2013 Enterprise Edition. We are also using Project Server 2013 as well.
Thanks in Advance

Hi 3s1k,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to access the SharePoint site from Internet.
You need to first ensure that you enable Anonymous Access for your web application. You'll then need to set up DNS for the domain you own to point to your web front end server (or virtual IP if it's load balanced). Then set up the appropraite IIS bindings
for the web application, and finally you'll need to extend your web application to an Internet Zone and give it the appropriate domain name.

Sharepoint 2013 onedrive for business Ipad App

Hi
We have an on-premise sharepoint 2013 installation and we would like to achieve access to the private library/onedrive using some of our ipads. We have installed One drive for business connected to a VPN. We have put in the url of the
site, which is our intranet page, enter my domain credentials click sign in and get the message. There is a problem with your account. Please try again later
While connected to the VPN if I use the browser to the page it works and I can navigate to other parts of the intranet.
Am I missing something simple?
What should the internal address be like when trying to access onedrive?
Regards
Chris

The ODfB app for iOS will only work while on the WLAN. It doesn't work across any other connection, at least per https://support.office.com/en-US/Article/Use-the-OneDrive-for-Business-app-on-an-iPhone-or-iPad-a1dbdcda-19df-4c06-b908-29c10865d20d?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US#BKMK_SupportedAuthentication.
If you’re an Office 365 multitenant user, you can
connect from the OneDrive for Business app in any network environment, including Wi-Fi and cellular data. If you’re not using multitenant Office 365, you can connect only when you use your organization’s on-site Wi-Fi network.

Sharepoint 2013 - Search for link names on a single page

Hi
I am messing around with SP13 and trying to get my search result web part to only search for link names and display all results.
I have created the search source to point at the sub site. If I search for part of a link name it will list all links in one long row as a single result.
Example: One single page contains all links. Each link points to a .aspx page. The search source is pointing at this page and it can display results but only as a single result containing all links as one line of text.
Say I have 1000+ links of which 50 has names such as Link1-Item1-Basket1, Link1-Item1-Basket2 up to Link1-Item1-Basket50.
When I search for Link1-Item1 I would like my search results to display 50 results as 50 individual links.
Is this possible?

Hi,
Yes, you can format the search results as you expected. But you have to create a custom display template to format your results such as extract the links from each results and display it as separate link.
Once display template created you have to map the display template to your search results web part.
Please refer to the following articles.

ISSUE Sharepoint 2013 databases for reporting services on the second server SQL 2012

Hello,
I have server A: Operating system windows 2012 standard, SQL server 2012 standard
instance: Sharepoint contains data for sharepint
instance: Reporting should be contain databases for reporting
Server B:
Windows server 2012 standard contains installation Sharepoint 2013
Sharepoint works (without reporting services), it is OK - databases are located on server A:
My issue is:
When I have installed reporting services on server B, I have already installed SQL server 2012 on server B, it works.
I am able to create report in report builder adn place it in to sharepoint.
But I would like to use only one full SQL machine on server A:
When I reconfigure repoting settings on server A in central administration - manage service aplications,
On the SQL server A in instance reporting , there is automatically created databases. It is no problem.
But the first difference is, when I want to manage service aplication for reporting in
Provision Subscriptions and Alerts, there is information
SQL Server Agent state cannot be determined
When I want to create report in report builder, I have issue:
server A-7380mw016\reporting it means server A with full SQL server:
The Test of connection was successful
Then I have clicked test connection
I have recieved this screen with fail: Logon faild for user NT Authority\anonymous logon
My account belongs to SQL admin on server A (A-7380mw016\reporting) I do not know it is not possible to create report, when it is possible to test connection in the first step and in the second step, there is problem...
Please, can somebody help me?

Hi,
Since you are getting an Anonymous Logon error, it appears there may be a problem passing your credentials to the SQL Server Agent Service. This would indicate a Kerberos issue. See this thread for details:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/46b7c773-6a77-435d-b471-cb9a6ec41c43/has-anyone-else-upgraded-reporting-services-to-denali-2012

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/video/Video/hh858469
Tips from the video:
We are connecting to Reporting services using Kerberos when using Reporting Services in SharePoint integrated mode
For the account using reporting services, we just need a dummy SPN. We go to Attribute editor tab in AD for RS account. And then we will be enabled with Delegation tab.
In Delegation tab. I we are using claims to windows token, we need to use "Trust this user for delegation to specified services only"
There you have 2 options: "Use Kerberos only": It means I only want to delegate in the situation where the service that is doing the delegation actually has the Kerberos ticket to start with
"Use any authentication protocol" When we need protocol transition (like from NTLM to claims for intra farm communication)
We need to delegate this to SQL server.

Sharepoint 2013 setup with multi tenancy

Hi,
Anybody have a proper guidance on how to setup SP 2013 with multi tenancy ? And aslo it should be with hosting mode, because we are the big hoster.
We need hosting SP 2013 with multi tenancy.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have made setup a SharePoint 2013 multi-tenancy.
I have some issues regarding SharePoint 2013. I have created one SharePoint site collection. I've designated myself as a site administrator. I'm able to login to the new site collection, however when I try to add people from my created SharePoint
site collection. It shows me "No results found".
But In central administration, I can add people as well as can give the permissions.
Any suggestions, How can I troubleshoot ?

SharePoint 2013 Not Loading CSS On Site Template

Hi
I have a question regarding adding a site collection with a custom template ( by selecting a template later option)
Basically I have a site that I need to move over from one server to another. The template saves as a template no problem with all lists etc.
When adding the site collection, I choose custom and select template later. After going to the site collection it then asks to pick a template, after which I choose solution gallery and upload and activate the site template I made before. I then return to
template picker page and choose the custom template uploaded
The problem I am having is that when the template is chosen and being used it does not load any of the css or anything. Everything is just listed downwards and all jumbled up all over the place.
Both servers are running SP2013. The Site Template doesnt have any major things on it apart from some custom new/edit forms and normal SPD 2013 Workflows.
Any ideas on how I can get the CSS to load?

Hi
you can check if css have loaded but isn't the last one !
to do this use a dev tool ( F12 in IE ) and check for an element if a style from your custom css file is there and overwrited by other css file )
For more details check this doc
