Collaborate on Excel workbooks with Sharepoint Foundation

My company recently implemented SharePoint Foundation 2013 and our shared Excel workbooks are no longer allowing multiple users to collaborate at the same time. We have verified that all the settings and permissions are correct and that checking in and
checking out is not required. Is this something that is not available with SharePoint Foundation? We are using Office 2013 installed on the clients, not Office online. Thank you.

Co-authoring of Excel workbooks is only supported when all the editors are using the Excel web application, not the Excel client application.
From
Microsoft's overview of co-authoring in SharePoint 2013:
>"Co-authoring is easy to use from the end user’s point of view. When a user wants to work on a document in Word 2013, PowerPoint 2013, OneNote 2013, Visio 2013 or one of the Office Web Apps, he or she merely opens it from SharePoint 2013 or SharePoint
Online, as usual. If another user already has the document open, both users can edit the document at the same time.
One exception to this is that users can co-author in Excel Web App only if everyone uses the Excel Web App to access the workbook. If anyone uses Excel 2013 or Excel 2010 (the client application)
to access the workbook, co-authoring in Excel Web App will be disabled for that workbook while it is open in the client application."
>"The Excel 2013 client application does not support co-authoring workbooks in SharePoint 2013 or SharePoint Online. But, the Excel client application uses the Shared Workbook feature to support non-real-time co-authoring workbooks that are stored
locally or on network (UNC) paths."

SharePoint Foundation 2010 - StoreMan.aspx page not reporting proper metrics

The configuration of my farm:
Sharepoint 2010 Foundation - up to date on all service packs.
SharePoint Offers an Application Page (_layouts/storman.aspx) which enables the user to view the Size usage of files throughout a Site collection.
Currently this page is only referred from within the Site settings. Only those with owner rights can get to the link. We are planning to set up the link on an "Admin Dashboard page" so all users can see and use the information to delete
versions or uneeded documents. It's very handy for this type of reporting.
The problem is that the numbers shown in the .aspx page do not properly reflect the values shown in the libraries. I'm sure the timer job that runs this report is looking at all versions throughout the portal (even in the recycle bin). This is where I see
the innacuracy I'm experiencing. Is there a way to get Storageman.aspx to only run on the files in libraries and ignore the recycle bin? Does anyone have any ideas of how to give users more accurate data on file sizes? Our storage is locally hosted and
we adhere to a strict data usage policy, yet I'm finding it difficult to enforce without the ability to show users where the "problem children" live.

HI Shaun,IE11 is having some know issues with the share point.Make sure the IE (Internet Explorer) Version should be 32-bit and not a 64-bit.

SharePoint Foundation Active Directory Problem

Hey,
I have a problem with the Active Directory connection to SharePoint Foundation.
My Situation looks like this:
I'm working on a kind of project controlling plattform. Each of our customers has its own site. Also each customer has an account in our Active Directory. For the administrative part, we have a list which contains some infos of the customer, the url to its
site and the contact person.
I wrote an import-script which creates a site and a new item in the list. To put the contact person in the list-item, I use a code-snippet like this:
try
user = web.EnsureUser(loginName);
catch (Exception ex)
throw new Exception("LoginName " + loginName + " not found");
Now the problem is, that the try/catch block fails too often which means: SharePoint doesn't know the loginNames of some of our customers.
Why does SharePoint not know maybe 1/5 of all our customers? All of them have an account in our active directory, none of them ever logged in the SharePoint (at the time they even doesn't know, that they have a SharePoint site for this project).
I searched the internet for the problem but all I found where questions related to the synchronization of ad-properties to SharePoint Foundation. But I don't want to sync the phone-number or something like that - I want SharePoint only to know all the loginNames
of our customers, not only 1/5 of them.
How do I achive this, what am I doing wrong?
Thank you!

web.EnsureUser has nothing to do with the UPS at all. This has nothing to do with synchronisation (it does have a role but it's a maintenance one and nothing to do with authentication.
The simplest answer is that the login names are being entered wrongly. Having said that there are a few areas you can look at to try to identify the problem:
Does it fail repeatedly for the same username? Can you add that user to the site manually using a people picker control and if so will the script work afterwards? Are there any trends in the user accounts that SharePoint cannot find?

Sharepoint Foundation 2010 SP2 or SharePoint Foundation 2013

Experts,
I am installing FIM 2010 R2 SP1 on windows 2012.
FIM Sync installed on server1.
FIM Service installed on server2.
Now I have to install:-
FIM Portal on server3.
With googling I understand that I need SharePoint Foundation 2013 or SharePoint Foundation 2010 SP2.
Can anyone guide what would be the safe approach. I don't have any knowledge of SharePoint.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Mann

Considering you would use it for FIM only, it doesn't really matter which version would you pick.
If you want to implement FIM on Windows Server 2012 (or R2), just make sure that you install correct version of SharePoint (at least 2010 SP2)
Keep trying If you found my post helpful, please give it a Helpful vote. If it answered your question, remember to mark it as an Answer.

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:

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

SharePoint Foundation 2013 - March 2014 Update Issue - Need help

We've just applied the SharePoint Foundation 2013 March 2014 Update, it always requires that we run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard at the end of install, but this time it's getting stuck at step 9 of 10 (the profile sync service cannot be
started even as admin). Is anyone else having any issues with this update? Has anyone else applied it yet? Is anyone else planning to apply it?
If anyone can help with advice on this I'd appreciate it.

Hi,
We can still access CA but sync will not start. Tried rebooting after the failed configuration and tried to run it again but it didn't work.

Sharepoint foundation 2010 externel https access problems

I have a very strange problem with my sharepoint foundation 2010 site.
I have a site which is accessible from outside on https (we have a valid certificate). I configured IIS for http and https.
Also I configured internal and externel access for this site on sharepoint.
But sometimes, the site is not accessible from outside on https with (externe.site.fr), BUT it will be accessible with public ip !!!
And also accessible from inside. (with interne.intranet.site.fr)
Any Idea ?
thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that your site is not accessible from outside using external host name with https sometimes.
As your site can be accessible with public IP, however it can’t be accessible from outside using external host name with https sometimes, the issue could be caused by the gateway server in your environment.
I suggest that you need to check the gateway server configuration.
For more information, you can refer to:

Sharepoint foundation create your own theme

Hi,
I was wondering.. We recently had a visit from a person who have giving us a presentation of Sharepoint in our company.
That person was talking about the free version of Sharepoint -> Sharepoint Foundation and he told us that it was possible just like the normal Sharepoint version to develop an own theme.
I have been searching alot over the internet the past days but did not really found where i was looking for. My main job is developing websites (PHP, HTML, Javascript & jQuery, CSS, ...) so i could make a business theme to use in the Sharepoint enviroment.
But since there is no Design Manager in the foundation version i was wondering how i could link that self made theme to the foundation version?
This person who was here for the presentation even gave us some examples of foundation enviroments where they have completely changed the look & feel and style (metro style i.e.) and i was wondering how they have done that with the Sharepoint Foundation?
Can someone help me on the way?
Thanks!

SharePoint Foundation 2010 Workspace problem

I've installed sharepoint foundation 2010 in a Windows server 2008 R2 standard environment. I've added some site collections and added some libraries to the site pages. Ive put in various permissions and groups and tested no problem using
Sharepoint workspace 2010 on a Windows 7 32 bit client.
But when I do a remote desktop connection to another server with 2008 R2 standard installed I can't get Sharepoint workspace 2010 to work properly. It opens an account and connects to my sharepont site but in the pane to the right where I would normally
see library documents listed all that comes up is an error stating - Error: Cannot Display Tool.
Also if I try to sync I get the following error:-
The parameter is incorrect
HResult: 0x80070057 (0x386d7565)
Process: Groove.exe (ID:17936(0x00004610))
No amount of googling has found a solution, no similar postings had any resolutions.
Any help would be much appreciated

My apologies. I'd focused on the error and hadn't adequately read the information you provided on the environment. The issue is probably with using SharePoint Workspace on the remote computer, not with SharePoint Foundation.
Here is what I understand you to be doing:
You use Remote Desktop to connect to the Windows Server 2008 R2 computer, where you log in with your domain account, which is a member of the local Users group.
On the remote computer, you start SharePoint Workspace.
On the Launchbar, you click New, click SharePoint Workspace, select your site, and then click
OK.
The workspace is created and appears (from the progress bar) to download content.
When you click Open Workspace, no content is displayed. Instead, you see the "Cannot Display Tool" error.
Is that correct?
There are three areas where SharePoint Workspace is complicated to run remotely:
Where SharePoint Workspace will be run by a user other than the one installing it, it must not be lauched during the installation. This seems the most likely to be the issue, as we have seen the same failure and error at a customer site where several
users had been given a computer image created on a computer where SharePoint Workspace had been launched before image creation.
Only one user should run SharePoint Workspace (Groove.exe) at a time. (Sometimes multiple instances work, but it's not reliable.)
You need to have a local profile on the computer which is running SharePoint Workspace. SharePoint Workspace is not supported with Roaming or Temporary profiles. Usually, this problem would prevent you from starting SharePoint Workspace, but some
environments with custom permissions can lead to other errors.
SharePoint Workspace uses the current user's permissions for SharePoint server access, In the case of Forms-Based authentication, it prompts for credentials at workspace creation, but then uses the credentials in the active browser session when opening
the workspace. I think this could only be related to your problem if you are logged in as another user in your browser, and that user has access to some, but not all, of the site your workspace connects to.

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.

SharePoint Foundation 2010: search error: "Your search cannot be completed because of a service error."

Hi,
I have SharePoint Foundation 2010 running on a single server with databases, with a second server in the farm serving as a 2nd app tier. Both server have the exact same versions of SharePoint loaded (according to the Central Admin site).
Whenever I try to run a search from any site in my SharePoint Foundation 2010 installation (in this example I typed "this is my query"), it hangs for 20-30 seconds while the IE status bar says:
Waiting for http://SERVER2010:80/tfs/SITE1/_layouts/searchresults.aspx?k=this%20is%20my%20query&u=http%3A%2F%2Ftfs2010db%2Ftfs%2FSITE1
Then it finally returns a results screen with an error that says: "Your search cannot be completed because of a service error. Try your search again or contact your administrator for more information."
Checking the SharePoint logs under C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS, the relevant entries say the following (items I deem important

Not sure what "resource limit is reached" actually means. This SharePoint installation is running under regular SQL 2008 R2, and the
WSS_Content database is fairly small (10gig). I've reviewed the Search Service, the process account running it, the
WSS_SEARCH index database, and verified that the Content database is using the proper index database. Everything looks like it should be crawling/indexing/working fine. But the WSS_SEARCH
database isn't very large, so I'm not sure if the crawling is actually filling it with anything.
Not sure where to start seriously troubleshooting this. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
The query ran in tens of seconds. This indicates that at some point a bad plan compiled and stayed in the cache.
It may have gotten there because the statistics were out of date.
A possible way to keep this from happening is to rebuild statistics with full scan more frequently.
Try free the proc cache and see the result.

Sharepoint Foundation 2013 People field wont save data

Guys, having an issue with a list column. We have some columns that are Person or Group. when we enter in a user, it finds it just fine saves it just fine. but if i come back into that list and edit some other field the Person or Group field is totaly
cleared out. I don't know what is going on. we are using SharePoint foundation 2013.

If you're using SharePoint 2013 April 2013 CU or higher, this is a known issue where the People data is missing in Edit view. There is a separate issue that is resolved in the September 2014 CU:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2995905
Consider the following scenario:
You create a SharePoint 2013 list that contains a Person or Group (people picker) column.
You create or edit an item, and then you select a person whose name contains a comma in the Person or Group field.
In this scenario, the value of the Person or Group field is lost when you save the item.

SharePoint Foundation Site Web Analytics reports

Hi,
I am currently attempting to get the Site Web Analytics reports to work in SharePoint Foundation. However, there seems to be little available information regarding this. What is necessary for this to display a report? To start with, what
SharePoint & Windows services and SharePoint service applications need to be started? We use SQL Authentication for the content database because all the databases are in a different domain.
Any information someone can shed would be helpful.
Currently, when I navigate to the page it states "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." I have looked up this
information on the net, but nearly all information applies to SharePoint Server. I need help setting this up with SharePoint Foundation.
Thank you much.

Hi Steven,
Ahhh, I had a feeling that was a problem.
I had similar issues after installing SP1 so I could have some of the new features, like the storage report back for sites, and deleted sites going into the recycle bin. However, I had read that I *had* to install the June 30 CU as well, which may have been
a mistake. Because after installing both and running a psconfigui, it made things as flaky as they were during the beta.
It took my good, stable, trustworthy and solid SPF install and made it unstable. Managed Accounts started acting weird, permissions were odd, BDC service crapped out, user code errors, the works. Bummed me out. I basically blew out the server, did a fresh
install and restored from a farm backup (actually a full then differential, gotta love scheduling backups). Mind you, I could afford to do that, and I simply don't mess around with bad updates.
(I also found a post that said that if you have SP1 installed, a common error is if you delete a list, then delete the site, you can restore the site from recycle bin, but the list that was deleted from that site earlier cannot be restored-- so to avoid/fix
that problem, install the August CU... it's always something...)
Do you have backups of your farm pre-updates, preferably both, but at least the CU? Maybe you can do a restore on a virtual machine to see if it fixes your issues?
Also, here's another question. After you installed SP1 and the August CU, did you do a psconfigUI.exe (or at the command line, psconfig.exe)? It might be good and bad that you didn't (if you didn't). The way to check to see if you didn't is check the database
statuses (review database status under Upgrade and Patch Management in Central Admin). The statuses will say that the databases can be/should be updated if you didn't run psconfig. That means that SharePoint has updated, but the databases in SQL haven't.
Maybe you can make a copy of those databases, and try to attach those databases to a pre-update (sp1 and CU) SharePoint Foundation server to see if web analytics work there again. Although, if I am understanding correctly, some changes can occur on databases
during updates, but they're not complete til psconfig is run. But hey, it's worth a shot.
Or you can use psconfigui.exe (or psconfig.exe if you want to use the command line) to update the databases and see if that fixes the problem.
I'm sorry again about your issues if they are update related. It is so frustrating to think you are trying to stay up to date on your server, being a good admin, and instead it breaks important things without apology or way to fix it (since cumulative updates
cannot be uninstalled, but it is really difficult and potentially expensive to have to fully identical farms running side by side for testing).CA Callahan | Author: Mastering Windows SharePoint Service 3.0 and Mastering Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 | Community Launch Leader |
