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:

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

My Final Cut Pro keeps crashing and restarting the computer what could be the problem?

My computer keeps crashing and then restarting whenever I try to use my Final Cut Pro X. I have an iMac with OSX 10.9.2 and 12GB of memory
there is an ATI Radeon Hd 5750 1024 MB Graphics Card, I just don't understand why things are not working at all.
What can I do to ensure everything is compatible and there is nothing I am missing.

Whatever the cause, please return to this forum and tell us what you did or had done to get your system working again.
There is no direct connection between FCPX and restarting the Macintosh that I am aware of. You haven't said if you can actually launch FCPX and then something initiates a restart. And you haven't said what error you see, if any. Nor have you actually said if FCPX has ever worked on that machine. Vital information.
If you search this FCPX forum, you will see that other users who have had restarting issues have not reported back to tell us about their solutions. ON other Apple forums, perhaps those related to your specific hardware and version of Mavericks, you will find several obscure and seemingly unrelated restart issues.
I have not had andy Macintosh restart issues for many, many years. My experience with Macs is that restarts are almost always hardware-based, usually incompatibility with some weird third party rig like a USB repeater, firewire adapter, cereal box keyboard, cheap monitor, ancient card reader, or even an oddball sound system. Start by disconnecting everything.
Hope you get it figured out.

Installing SharePoint Foundation 2013 on SBS 2011?

Can I install SharePoint Foundation 2013 on SBS 2011 Standard without breaking the site in any way?
Thanks!
Sahalu

Hi,
The SharePoint Foundation 2013 works with other applications and Windows features, so it depends on any of the components that SharePoint Foundation 2013 needs. If some features or applications cannot be installed successfully, the SharePoint
Foundation 2013 will not work normally. The Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012 are recommended.
Here is an article on the requirements for SharePoint 2013 can be referred to.

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:

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.

Error while installing Microsoft Identity Extensions Setup during installation of SharePoint Foundation 2013 on Windows Server 2012

Hi All,
When i try to manually (no internet connection on the server) install SharePoint 2013 Prerequisites on Windows Server 2012 I get the below error
I have installed .Net Framework 3.5, 4.0 and Windows Identity Foundation using Add server roles or features from the server manager.
From Software & Hardware requirements for SharePoint 2013 give
Prerequisites for SharePoint 2013 I can see that the identity extensions are available only of Windows Server 2008 R2 and not for windows server 2012. Can you please provide the link for windows server 2012?
I have installed all the prerequisites required except Microsoft Identity Extensions.

Please click "Propose As Answer " if a post solves your problem or "Vote As Helpful" if a post has been useful to you.
Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties.

I fixed it by installing Microsoft Identity extensions from command line, please find command line below.
C:\Windows\System32>msiexec.exe /i "C:\SharePoint2013ServerFiles\prerequisiteinstallerfiles\MicrosoftIdentityExtensions-64.msi" /quiet /norestart
Note: In the above command C:\SharePoint2013ServerFiles\prerequisiteinsTallerfiles is the path where I had downloaded all the prerequisites for SP2013
This will install Microsoft Identity Extensions and creates registry entries, which will help the SharePoint 2013 Prerequisite installer to complete the setup

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.

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 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
detail error message of ULS log to determine the exact cause of the error?
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS
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
Foundation:
[string]$farmAcct = "DOMAIN\service_Account"
[string]$serviceAppName = "Search Service Application"

Sharepoint Foundation 2013 is not Installing on Window 7

When I click on 'Install Sharepoint Foundation" 2013 nothing happen. Same is issue with "Install Sharepoint Foundation Pr-Requisite"

SharePoint 2013 does not support being installed on Windows client (Windows 7 or 8). Instead, try using a Virtual Machine running a supported Server OS. You can use VMware Player (free) on Windows 7, or if you have Windows 8 Pro or Enterprise, Hyper-V.

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 on Windows Server 2012 R2 Essential - any chance to install?

Understood that it's impossible to install SharePoint as it is not supported on a domain Controller BUT is there any chance to install instead SharePoint Foundation 2013 on a Essential Server?

Hi:
Seems so, although as you know it would be better on a member server as a VM.
