SharePoint Foundation 2013 AAM, alerts, URL in email alerts

Hello all,
I have the following situation.
SharePoint Foundation 2013 server updated to October CU. Created an web application and extended it for internet zone. AAM are defined. This is a new farm. No content database was attached. No previously created
alerts.
I can access this web app with:
http://servername for the default zone and http://internet for thw internet zone.
If i subscribe to receive alerts using the internet zone url the first email that i get contains correct URL to http://internet but the further emails regarding the actual changes contain references to the
URL from the default zone http://servername excepting the mobile view button wich goes to http://internet....
Thank you

It is recommended that you use a single FQDN + SSL Url (if you have external access) due to issues with alerts like this.

SharePoint Foundation 2013 Workflow Doesn't Send Email

We are trying to create a workflow that will send an email if a field in a new item in a list contains a certain value.
Example: A user adds a new item to a particular list. The workflow is supposed to send an email if the Number field = 3 in that item.
We can add the item, but the workflow doesn't appear to send the email.
The workflow looks like this:
Step 1: If Current Item:Number equals 3
Email John Doe
then Stop the workflow
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Try adding Current Item:Number to log history and check the values are matching properly.
Validate the data types like both are number field to get your condition through. else add an intermediate variable to help this.
Check the send email functionality with out any conditions to validate your smtp configured properly at server.
Hope this helps.

Email Notification on Calendar list Sharepoint Foundation 2013 not sending out email

Hi,
Actually i have 2 problem. I just don't have any idea how to solve them.
1 ) I have a machine installed with Windows Server2012 and Sharepoint Foundation 2013. Email invitation from system and alert me email is working fine. Then I created a few email sending workflow using sharepoint designer 2013. The email are going out fine
for list or document library but gave out error when i tried to send from Calendar list. The error is saying that the outgoing email is not configured correctly. If that was the case, should it be that i will receive error for all.
2) I have another machine with same installation as above but doesn't send out any kind of email(Invitation,alert me, SPD2013 custom worflow). I've checked telnet port 587, it is responding fine. I want to know if i need to open port in the firewall/router
settings for this port or if this issue is due to something else.
Any help is really appreciated.

What about Relay and Authentication?

Look.
I think this is the correct configuration because it sends emails normaly with SharePoint 2010.
If I configure my own email account in Outbound Security, Sharepoint 2013 sends emails but just when I login to Sharepoint, if other users login it doesn't send emails.

We see exactly the same error when add users to a group with the option "Send an email invitation" enabled.
Any ideas what could cause this problems?
Regards,

Hi Reinhard ,
According to your error message, it says that no data is available after encoding the social notification mail message. It should be caused by the E-Mail encoding setting.
For troubleshooting your issue, please check the character set of your E-Mail Settings:
Verify that the user account that is performing this procedure is a member of the Farm Administrators group.
On the Central Administration Home page, click System Settings.
On the System Settings page, in the E-Mail and Text Messages(SMS) section, click Configure outgoing e-mail settings.
On the Outgoing E-Mail Settings page, make sure
Character set setting is 65001(Unicode UTF-8).

How to customize SharePoint Foundation 2013 workflow notification emails

We have a SharePoint Foundation 2013 workflow that sends emails when certain criteria are met. We have tried to customize the emails using SharePoint Designer, but the emails that are received are different.
Ho do we configure SharePoint to send the emails formatted as we specified in the workflow?
The emails we receive are all formatted like this:
Subject:
[Company Name Workflow] - [Item] has been assigned to you
Content:
Task assigned by [User Name] on [Date].
To complete this task:
1.   Review [Item].
2.   Perform the specific activities required for this task.
3.   Use the Open this task button to mark the task as completed. (If you cannot update this task, you might not have access to it. Click here to request access.)

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to customize SharePoint Foundation 2013 workflow notification emails.
We’ll need to do a few things to replace SharePoint’s default notification with our own. The first thing we need to do is turn off SharePoint’s default notification. On the Workflow Tasks list, go the Advanced Settings and select
No for Send e-mail when ownership is assigned. Then we need to create workflow to send email.
There is an article for your reference, although it is about the SharePoint 2007, it still works for SharePoint 2013.

Sharepoint Foundation 2013 and Outlook 2010 Reminders

Hello, I have recently been informed by one of my users that they are experiencing a peculiar issue in regards to their SharePoint calendar. A brief history is that we are currently using SharePoint
Foundation 2013 with Outlook 2010, all of our users have calendars for their departments in SharePoint, and those calendars have been added to Outlook for their convenience. This particular user has a SharePoint alert set up on their calendar for all changes,
and receives an alert immediately. After some troubleshooting, this is how my user is getting the issue they described:
User1 will create an appointment from Outlook on the SharePoint calendar that User2 has their alert set up for. User2 will receive the appropriate alert email that there has been a new event
added to the calendar. User1 then receives an Outlook reminder that their event is coming up. If User1 clicks "dismiss" on that reminder, User2 will have another alert email generated hours later which informs them that the calendar event for User1
has been modified. If you view the event from SharePoint it will show a new modified time with User1's name, even though there have been no changes made. The other interesting part about the modified time is that it will not reflect when User1 clicked “dismiss”
on the reminder, instead it will reflect the time that the SharePoint alert email was generated.
This is not a fluke issue; I've been able to recreate the scenario 100% of the time if I follow this pattern. I can also simulate it on any calendar I create or that is already existing in our
environment.
I have been researching and trying to find an answer to this problem for several days now, but the only thing I have found is a post from someone else experiencing the same issue with no solution.
So any feedback would be greatly appreciated. If there is more information that is needed to better assist me, please let me know.
Thank you for your time.

Hello, if I remember correctly the issue was that I created the form with InfoPath 2013 and was trying to test using InfoPath 2010. This does not work.
Did you create the form using InfoPath 2013?

SharePoint Foundation 2013 - Treeview current navigation linking to wrong page

Good day,
We are having issues with the OOTB tree view for SharePoint Foundation 2013.
The client has a document library with a folder structure. Clicking on the first level folder (Private) navigates you to the wrong url, but when you navigate to one of its child folders, by expanding the parent folder (Private) and THEN clicking on the parent
folder, it navigates to the right url.
See attatched screenshots:
Error:
No error:

Hey guys,
Any update on this? Sorry for the hassle, guessing it's a SharePoint bug?
Thanks,

Using ADFS with SharePoint Foundation 2013?

We have a WSS 3.0 web site used primarily for sharing documents with business partners who do not work for our company. We plan on doing the 2 step upgrade to SharePoint Foundation 2013
Our internal users also use it but normally just use internal network file shares if they aren't planning to share the documents with external users.
Each business partner's company has a sub site within our main WSS site and documents are uploaded to that section of the site if we want to share documents with employees of that company.
Since we use AD for authentication, to make this work, we create AD user accounts for each external user and add them to a security group that gives them access to only their company's subsite on the main site.
We have to maintain their passwords, reset them and delete/disable them when that person no longer needs access. Each business partner has a limit on the number of users who can get one of our AD accounts due to limits on the number of CALs available
to them. It is messy because these users often forget their passwords since they aren't using these accounts every day.
Is there a better way to do this so that we no longer have create and maintain user accounts for external users other than having to do a domain trust with all these other domains?
I have heard of ADFS, but will it allow us to still control which sites and documents the external company users can access if we are not creating and managing the accounts and adding them to the correct security groups ourselves?
We don't want every user from the partner's domains to be able to access the site. If we use ADFS, how do we keep control of which external users have access to the site?

Yes, you would add permissions just the same way you do with users from your local Active Directory. And yes, if you chose the email address to be the user's identifier, you would simply ask for the email addresses that you wanted and input those to the
appropriate permissions on your SharePoint sites.
You'll want to take a look at this:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/russmax/archive/2013/10/31/guide-to-sharepoint-2013-host-name-site-collections.aspx
Also another thing to keep in mind is that you'll need to have those 3rd parties set up ADFS themselves, and you'll create an ADFS Trust between you and the 3rd party.

SharePoint Foundation 2013 Web Analytics

Problem:
I am using SharePoint Foundations 2013 (no patches) and trying to get Web Analytics working but running into difficulty. The error I am getting is the dreaded, "A web analytics report
is not available for this site. Usage processing may be disabled on this server or the usage data for this site has not been processed yet.", when I click on Site Settings -> Site Web analytics reports
Items completed:
Enabled Site Usage and data collection in Central Admin.
Logs are full of data in the hive
I can see the data in dbo.requestusage in the WSS logging database.
Possible problem is that Web Analytics has been deprecated in SharePoint 2013 however why would Microsoft have Web analytics link if it was deprecated.
Question:
How can I get Web Analytics to show data or has it been completely removed from SharePoint Foundations 2013 and the link is just there for frustration?
Jay

We’re having the same Problem.
According to the following links, “Usage Analytics” and “Usage Reporting and Logging” are
available in SharePoint Foundation 2013:

Are they wrong?
I don’t mean the search related Reports (Most Popular Items), I mean the very simple Reports like
Number of Page Views, Number of Unique Visitors, Number of Referrers, Top Pages/Visitors/Referrers/Browsers (URL: /_layouts/15/usageDetails.aspx)

SharePoint Foundation 2013 installation question / guide.

Hi All,
I'm new in SharePoint and going to Install SharePoint Foundation 2013. What I want is after installation when I'll provide Site URL to my users they can able to access the site using there windows / system Login ID and Password which has been provided by company.
Can you please help me what steps I've to follow while doing the installation also is it need to install SQL Server also for foundation. Please Advice
Thanks

Hi,
SQL is the backbone for SharePoint and your SharePoint content (the content you actually store in your sites) is going into SQL. So, SQL is mandatory but if you are planning to use SQL Express (the lightweight edition) then you don’t need to install it separately
– by selecting a Standalone type SP Installation wizard will automatically install SQL Express for you. But there are few limitations directly associated with express edition. Like Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition database cannot be larger than 10 GB etc.
For a complete list please visit
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993.aspx
In order to access newly created site, all you need to install SP product and create a site using the site template, once done grant access to the required users via site settings page and that way users can access sites.
I hope it helps you.
Thanks.

Sharepoint foundation 2013 Search Service Application.

Hi all,
I want to configure search application for sharepoint foundation 2013. I have followed some of the web links.
But did not get success. Can you please provide me the working example of how to configure search application and run the crawl. And make sure the search is working correctly.
Thanks in advance for help.

Hi Vishwajeet,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to configure SharePoint Foundation 2013 Search service application.
In SharePoint Foundation 2013, we cannot add the Search Service to SharePoint Foundation 2013 from the Central Administration GUI after selecting a manual configuration method. It seems that the ONLY way you can add the Search Service to SharePoint Foundation
2013 is by using the SharePoint Configuration Wizard.
More information, please refer to the link:

SharePoint Foundation 2013 - FBA Custom Login Page

Hi,
     i am trying to enable FBA in SharePoint Foundation 2013 and it works fine for default login page
     but when i try to create custom login page ( which is already working without any problems in SharePoint 2010 ) i receive an error when i try to authenticate user using the following code :
         SPClaimsUtility.AuthenticateFormsUser(Context.Request.UrlReferrer, txtUserName.Text, txtPassword.Text);
     i checked the Log file and found the following entries :

Sharepoint Foundation 2013 Configure Search Navigation

I am testing out the search feature of Foundation 2013 and I want to allow my users to refine their searches via Result Sources. From the instructions that I have read I should be able to do this in the Global Search Results page that I created ->
Site Settings -> Search -> Search Settings. It appears there should be a section for "Configure Search Navigation". I do not have this option. Is this something that is disabled in the Foundation edition of Sharepoint?
For reference here is what I was following for instructions.
http://en.share-gate.com/blog/sharepoint-2013-search-settings-and-search-box-drop-down-menu About halfway down the page it shows this configuration box. I cannot see that on my Search Settings page at all.
I have successfully created a Result Source that does work, but I seemingly have no way of presenting that to the user. The Navigation WebPart also relies on the "Configure Search Navigation" settings, which I can't see in my setup.
Suggestions?

Hello,
"Configure Search Navigation" is not present in SharePoint Foundation 2013, but it is still available
via SOM (and PowerShell, of course). Try this if this helps (full url of Search Center on my dev environment is http://dev/search):
using (var siteCollection = new SPSite("http://dev"))
using (var site = siteCollection.OpenWeb("search"))
site.Navigation.SearchNav.AddAsFirst(
new SPNavigationNode("Test", "http://dev"));
site.Update();
Regards,
Michal
