SharePoint Foundation 2013 Feature Pack and Site Templates

I have created a site using a site subscription and a SharePoint Foundation 2013 Feature Pack ( used the SP Foundation Feature Pack Script here http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/SharePoint-2013-Foundation-d3d1637f that
was created by Spencer Harbar)
When I go to create a sub-site, there are 3 site templates that are available that strictly speaking should not be for Foundation edition. When I try and create sites using those I get errors because the features needed from them are not part of the subscription.
The site templates available are:
Collaboration > Project Site
Enterprise > Document Center
Enterprise > Records Center
Does any one know why these would be displaying?

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 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?

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

http://blog.blksthl.com/2013/01/14/sharepoint-2013-feature-comparison-chart-all-editions/
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)

MasterPages and SharePoint foundation 2013

Hi
I have created a web application in SharePoint Foundation 2013. I also have created multiple subsite.
I want to change the visual (branding) of the website (and all subsites).
I have created a custom masterpage and wanted to set it as the default master page. But when I do that, everything is now set with that custom masterpage (even the site setting pages, the viewlsts.aspx, settings.aspx).
Is there a way to bind masterpages only with the content pages of my website ?
Any links for info about that ?
Thanks
Richard Martin Web Developer / BI Developer

Hi marric01,
All of the site setting pages, the viewlsts.aspx and settings.aspx is the application page. An application page is an ASP.NET Web page that is designed for
use in a SharePoint Web site. Application pages are stored on the file system of the front-end Web server in the %ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS directory and exist for every site in a Web application.
This folder is mapped to an Internet Information Services (IIS) virtual directory called _layouts. Every site and subsite will have access to the application pages by using the _layouts virtual directory.
The scenario you have seen is what SharePoint will do when set the master page through Site Settings->Master page. All the pages on the site will apply this master page.
The settings.aspx, viewlsts.aspx and upload.aspx. etc. are application pages, the difference between application page and content page is that: application page store in server 15/Template/Layouts folder, all applications in the SharePoint farm use the same
application page, while content page store in content database, each site use a unique page of them, you can update the page content in different site as you like.
SharePoint by default doesn’t provide a method to set different master page for application pages, and this is not recommended, even if you can change this through update the page directly in the layouts folder, whenever you change it, it will affect the whole
SharePoint farm, on all web applications.
If you really need to this, I would suggest you to custom the ribbon button to direct to your custom specific application page like settings page. The concern by doing this is the default settings page is still available, and if users access the page by typing
the url directly, he will see the default settings page.

Hi,
Thanks for the information. While waiting for help with this forum, I was playing with SharePoint Foundation 2013 and SharePoint designer 2013. I saw that I can bind custom masterpage for each page that I create.
(Style => Attach => Custom masterpage)
I also managed to bind subsite pages to that same custom masterpage.
Is this a good way to customize the look and feel of my SharePoint foundation 2013 website (We are building a small intranet for about 100 person).
Users are only gona be able to modify content inside the pages. We are (IT dept) the only one that can modify structure, add new pages and modify the look for the website.
Thanks again !

Cannot get the Mobile Template to work in SharePoint Foundation 2013

Hello all,
I am trying to get the Mobile View to work in SharePoint Foundation 2013. When I access the site on any phone it gives me the following error:
"Cannot complete this action. Please try again."
The URL it forwards me to is "http://<sitecollectionurl>/_layouts/15/mobile/mblwpa.aspx?Url=%2Fdefault%2Easpx
So it seems to me like it's working, but there's something wrong with the template. The template has definitely never been modified.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,

Sharepoint foundation 2013 : After doing backup cannot access the site "Sorry, this site hasn't been shared with you"

I am using SharePoint Foundation 2013 , i have backed up the site using powershell with the following command:
-backup-spsite -identity http://dmsserver/sites/demo/ -path C:\SPSiteBackup.bak
After backup finished, i can't access the site, the message "Sorry, this site hasn't been shared with you" appears, even the site administrator collection is configured coorectly, with the Administrator account.
Whats the problem?
Please Advice.

Hi husseinsa,
According to your description, my understanding is that you could not access the site after backing up the site collection in SharePoint 2013 Foundation.
Could you access other sites at the same site collection?
Let’s do a troubleshooting for this issue:
Please delete the IE cache: IE options->General->Delete, select all checkboxes, and click Delete.
Go to CA->Application Management->Manage web applications, select the web application which hosts the problematic site .
Click Permisson Policy, make sure there are not any deny policies for site collection administrator and site collection auditor.
Back to the web application list page, click User Policy, check whether there are any user policies for denying permissions.
Change the site collection administrator or add a secondary site collection administrator in CA, then use the new site collection administrator to log in the site, compare the result.
Open IIS, expand the server, and click application pools.
Find the problematic web application pool, make the identity of the pool is correct, then do an IISRESET, compare the result.
If this issue still exists, please check the log file to find more information about this issue. The path of the log file is
: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS.
Or you can use Event Viewer(Start->Run->event viewer) to find the log.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Site Login Behavior For SharePoint Foundation 2013 Users With Expired Passwords?

What are the most user-friendly ways of getting external users with expired AD passwords back into the SharePoint site with a new working password?
We already send automated email notifications to users reminding them to change their soon-to-expire passwords. However, sometimes they miss seeing the email notifications before the password expires (such as after returning from vacation or just carelessness
and lack of attention to email messages) or they see the warning messages and forget to act on it.
When this happens and they try to log into the SharePoint site from the Internet, their login fails without telling the user the reason they can't log in is because their password expired. So, they end up confused and call the help desk to get their
password reset.
Is there a way to set up SharePoint Foundation 2013 login in a similar way to the OWA login so that, when a user with a correct but expired password tries to log in, it gives them a prompt to set a new password right there rather than just an error indicating
their login failed for unknown reasons or password is "incorrect?"

It could be done. You get a different event log entry for an expired login attempt than for a wrong password, 4625 events denote a login failure and an error ID of 23 denotes a logon failure.
A naff, but simple, approach would be to create a tool that checks your server logon event log for 4625 entries and then emails that user, or the help desk, or security, that they're trying to get onto your system with expired credentials.
For a more polished experience you've got a lot more work and bluntly it's going to be impractical for you. You'd have to re-write sections of the SharePoint authentication process or intercept the process, both are risky and not a good idea to try.
There's a really interesting paper here that might be of interest, it won't help you in your current situation but it might shed more light on the overall authentication/authorisation process.

Absence and Vacation Tracking in SharePoint Foundation 2013

We upgraded from Sharepoint Foundation 2010 to SharePoint Foundation 2013. The absence and vacation template no longer works. Does anyone know of a free replacement?

We ended up just creating a workflow that emails the necessary information whenever an item is added or changed to the list. Doing this avoids the default notification email ("A task has been assigned...") altogether. It is also much more straightforward
than using "if then" and "what if" type statements.
We found this webpage to be a good starting point to creating both the list and associated workflow:
http://camerondwyer.wordpress.com/2013/04/17/implementing-a-simple-sharepoint-issue-tracking-system-with-cc-style-notification-emails-when-items-are-updated
To automatically add approved vacation days to a calendar:
1. Open the list
2. Click Create View, then click Calendar View
3. Name the calendar, set time intervals, etc.
4. Set "Show items only when the following is true" so that Vacation Request Status (or whatever you chose to call it in your list) "is equal to" "Approved" (or whatever you chose to call it).

SharePoint Foundation 2013 - Search Configuration Issue - 2 App Servers and 2 Front-End Servers

Hi,
We have a SharePoint Foundation 2013 with SP1 Environment.
In that, we have 2 Front-End Servers and 2 App Servers. In the Front-End Servers, the Search Service is stopped and is in Disabled state and in the 2 App Servers in One App Server, Search is Online and in another Search is Starting but goes to Stopped sooon
after.
Originally, we had only 1 App Server and we were running our Search Service and Search Service Application in that. Now since the index location became full and we were unable to increase the drive there, we added one more App Server and now the issue is
Search is not properly getting configured in either of these App servers. What we want to do is run Search only in the new App Server, because we have a lot of storage space for Index locations here, but in the older App Server, not run Search at all. We
tried keeping the Search Service disabled and ran the below PowerShell Scripts, but none of the ones are working. These scripts are creating the Search Service Application, but the error of "Admin Component is not Online", "Could not connect
to the machine hosting SharePoint 2013 admin component" is coming up.

Hi Karthick,
For your issue, could you provide the

For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at

For troubleshooting your issue, you can try to run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard on your WFE servers and run the script for configuring the search service on SharePoint

[string]$serviceAppName = "Search Service Application"

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 "The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed"

Hi Sir/Madam,
I try to connect the sharepoint foundation 2013 server by remote desktop recently using domain account, but it show the error message that mentioned in the subject. I can login the server using local account. Do I need to disjoin
the domain then rejoin the domain? Will there be any risk if I do this?
My SharePoint environment as below:
Primary domain : abc.local (DC : windows server 2012 standard R2)
SharePoint : SharePoint foundation 2013 and SQL Standard 2012 installed on a single windows server 2012 standard (not R2, joined domain "abc.local)
I tried this on DC > active directory user and compouter >right click Sharepoint pc > click reset > reboot sharepoint server, reboot sharepoint server but still cannot login using AD account
I also tried netdom command and powershell command "Reset -ComputerMachinePassword" also failed to reset the password.
Please help to resolve my problem. Thanks
Jeffrey

Go to Control Panel -> System -> under Computer Name, Domain, click Change Settings. Click on the Change button, then re-type the domain in the NetBIOS or FQDN format, which ever it is currently not set to. This will force a soft-join to the domain.

SharePoint Foundation 2013 Prerequisite installer keeps installing and restarting the server

Hi,
I'm trying to install SharePoint foundation 2013 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1.
I already install SQL Server 2012 SP1 and TFS 2013 on the server.
I don't have internet connection on the server so i install the next prerequisites manually:
SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 Native Client
Microsoft WCF Data Services 5.0
Microsoft Information Protection and Control Client (MSIPC)
Microsoft Sync Framework Runtime v1.0 SP1 (x64)
Windows Identity Extensions
Windows Identity Foundation (KB974405)
Windows Management Framework 3.0
Then I ran the prerequisitiesInstaller.exe from command line -
prerequisiteInstaller.exe /appfabric:[Full AppFabric Installer path] /KB2671763:[AppFabric update path]
the prerequisiteInstaller start to run - after some steps it request for server restart, after the server upload the installer start again and after some steps it request for server restart.
This loop is never ending.
I tried to do some action to fix this issue:
http://spreza.blogspot.co.il/2013/05/sharepoint-2013-prerequisite-keeps.html
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/bccdb9f1-dd91-4db1-bd19-6bfa658727f5/sharepoint-server-2010-setup-keep-asking-for-reboot?forum=sharepointadminprevious
There is any reason or solution for this scenario?

Have you checked the log to see at what point and what update is requiring the re-boot? I suspect one of your manually installed pre-requisites may be an older version and when it restarts it starts the regular automated installer, which is causing
the loop. Check the log for more specific errors. The installer creates the log in the following location %TEMP%\prerequisiteinstaller.<date>.<time>.log

Automating Sharepoint Foundation 2013 Installation and Deployment of Project

Hi all,
I'm a long time software developer with absolutely no experience in Sharepoint.
I have just joined a new company and I was asked by the team leader to create an installer for Sharepoint Foundation 2013 and a working Sharepoint solution made by the company, preferably using HTA.
I have experimented installing it manually and deploying the solution, however, what's the best method to automate these two steps?
I was thinking of something like AutoSPInstaller, and after the end of the installation, I would run Add-SPSolution and Install-SPSolution commands for deploying the solution.
What do you think?

So the only problem with SharePoint Foundation is that you cannot script the provisioning of the Search Service, you must use the wizard via Central Admin UI to create it. There is an unsupported workaround, but again, unsupported so I don't use it.
I'd stay away from HTA and go just pure PowerShell prompts, myself though.

Error Accessing Host Named Site Collections In SharePoint Foundation 2013

We have a new SharePoint Foundation 2013 server that has one web application two host named site collections. We get the "This page can't be displayed" message when we try to navigate to either of the site collections. Adding the server's IP to
the host file on the machine we are testing from doesn't help. We can ping the new sites from that machine. The web application does not have a host header.
Web application URL = http://servername
Site collection #1 URL = http://customer.company.com
Site collection #2 URL = http://vendor.company.com

Hi,
I recommend to verify the things below:
Check if site can be accessed with site collection administrator.
Add the SharePoint sites to a trusted zone to see if the issue still occurs.
As this issue can be caused by many reasons, you may check the ULS log for more detailed errors.
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS.
Best regards.
