SSL requirements for SharePoint appps

Hello experts,
Please can SAN certificates been used for configuring SharePoint 2013 apps or the requirements will be a wild card certificates.
Thanks

Hi,
As per my understanding, you can use a SAN certificate for this.
Just make sure that you include *.appdomain.com in the SAN certificate.

Is CAL required for SharePoint Foundation 2010?

Is extra CAL required for uploading/downloading docs using SharePoint Foundation 2010? We already have Licensed Windows Server 2008 R2. Ours is an intranet application which will be accessed by 400 intranet users.
If CAL is required then can i use only 1 CAL for my app server to upload/download docs on SP Foundation provided all 400 client requests will go via app server to SP server?

If I want to use sharepoint foundation 2013, I need to have Windows server 2008 R2 / 2012 license & SQL server license (optional). I'm confused in - what kind of windows server license is required & do I also need some other license to use sharepoint
foundation?
How can I provide external user access to my sharepoint environment? Is there any requirement of any other license also?

SQL server requirement for sharepoint 2013

Hello All,
currently i have installed SharePoint2013 in server farm mode, and i have used SQL Server 2008 R2 for DB. Can i use SQL Server 2012 for SharePoint 2013?
Thanks

SharePoint 2013 is compatible with SQL 2008 R2 and SQL 2012 so yes.
What you can do is "move" the SharePoint DBs from SQL 2008 R2 to SQL 2012 without restore or backup.
Link to msdn: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc512725(v=office.15).aspx
Here you have an example for SharePoint 2010 (is the same for SharePoint 2013): http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/664029/Migrate-SharePoint-s-SQL-Server-to-another-SQL-Ser
Here an different example: http://surya20p.blogspot.com.es/2013/09/migrate-sql-2008r2-sp2-to-sql-2012-sp1.html

Hardware Requirement for SP 2013 for 100 Users but many sites and functionalities

Hi,
We need to implement SharePoint 2013 containing the below:
100 users: 50 domain users and 50 forms authentication users.
Holding 60 sites:
12 main site collections and 30 sub sites for intranet use with windows authentication
One site collection with 30 sub sites for internet use with forms authentication
Using SharePoint Search to crawl Drives
Using SharePoint Web services for Mobile App
According to what I understand from
Hardware and software requirements for SharePoint 2013 I have 2 options:
Single server with SQL Server: 64-bit, 4 Cores - 24 GB RAM - 80 GB System Drive
Three-tier Farm:
2 servers (Web Tier and Application Tier) each of: 64-bit, 4 Cores - 12 GB RAM - 80 GB System Drive
One SQL Server: 64-bit, 4 Cores - 8 GB RAM - 80 GB System Drive
Is that right? If it is right, then which option is better for my requirements?
Thank you.

If you're really set to go with one server, you can do two-tier on the same server.
You can install SQL Server on the same server as SharePoint (this is the "complete" option in SharePoint, not the "standalone"). If you set up and use a SQL client alias (which you should), you can move the SQL instance at a later date without having to
rebuild your farm.

Which version of sql server 2012 or 2014 is best for sharepoint 2013.. Any excellent comparision available please let me know..

Which version of sql server 2012 or 2014 is best for sharepoint 2013.. Any excellent comparision available please let me know..i mean enterprise version BI version or standard version.. i just need a detailed comparison if available please thank you

As of right this very second, SQL Server 2014 is not supported. SharePoint 2013 supports:
One of the following:
The 64-bit edition of Microsoft SQL Server 2012.
The 64-bit edition of SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1
Hardware and software requirements for SharePoint 2013
Edit: I may be mistaken. It looks like the April 2014 CU adds support for SQL Server 2014. If this is the case generally going with the latest SQL Edition provides you with the latest SQL functionality. I'm not aware of any SharePoint features that would
make use of functionality that is new to SQL Server 2014 but this could change with a future service pack.

Why we need SSL Certificates for configuring App Server in Sharepoint

Hi Support,
We are planning to have a separate server for Apps, while configuring the server its asking for certificate. The main scenario is while configuring server inside the same firewall why we need SSL for configuring.
Could you please let me know the reason why we need SSL for configuring App Server.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Pradeep

Hi Pradeep,
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a transaction security standard that provides encrypted protection between browsers and App Servers. When SSL is enabled for an App Server, browsers communicate with the App
Server by means of an HTTPS connection, which is HTTP over an encrypted Secure Sockets Layer. HTTPS connections are widely used by banks and web vendors for secure transactions over the web.
Secure Sockets Layer is a requirement for web applications that are deployed in scenarios that support server-to-server authentication and app authentication. This is such a scenario. As a prerequisite
for configuring Task Synchronization, the computer that is running SharePoint Server must have SSL configured.

SharePoint Online : Unable to load type Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPUpgradeCompatibilityException required for deserialization.

From today's morning , We are having Issue on Our Online SharePoint Site.
Each WebPart is not loading and displaying this Line
Unable to load type Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPUpgradeCompatibilityException required for deserialization.
Please write in quick response to fix it at
[email protected]

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that SharePoint Online Site was unable to load web part and got the “Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPUpgradeCompatibilityException” error.
Per my knowledge, the SPUpgradeCompatibilityException occurs during upgrade when the front-end Web server attempts to connect to an incompatible database.
Please check whether the database is compatible.
Regarding SharePoint Online, for quick and accurate answers to your questions, it is recommended that you initial a new thread in Office 365 forum.

application and services to increase server performance..i don't want to configure all service applications when i am configuring.
Thanks in Advance..
vijay kommireddi

Hi Vijay,
If you are installing Project Server on SharePoint farm, You need to start the service Project Application Service which would be available after you install project Server 2013.
For Project Server Reporting you need to start Excel service and Secure Store service.

Configure an Environment for Apps for SharePoint 2013

hH,
We are building QA environment for Sharepoint 2013. For this my management asked me to configure the APPS store. But when i referred the MSDN article, they are suggesting
" You must purchase a domain name from a domain name provider for your apps, for example, ContosoApps.com."
Which is not possible in my case as purchasing a new domain requires lot of approvals also this is an QA environment.
So please suggest on the below points
1) whats wrong to build a sub domain like APPS.XXXX.COM instead of XXXXAPPS.COM
2) since it is in a QA environment, is it necessary to have a SSL ??
3) is it need to have a different APPS stores for QA & PROD environments.
Thanks,
Praveen
Sharepoint HELP

Hi Praveen,
you don't need to buy a domain use your internal DNS
no need for SSL since it is QA
i think you mean app catalog, each environment will be having it app catalog

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to custom action for context menu in "Site Content and Structure" in SharePoint 2010.
In "SiteManager.aspx", SharePoint use MenuItemTemplate class which represent a control that creates an item in a drop-down menu.
For example, to create or delete the ECB menu for a list item in
"Site Content and Structure", we can follow the steps below:
To add the “My Like” menu, we can add the code below:
<SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate
UseShortId=false
id="OLListItemLike"
runat="server"
Text="My Like"
ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/DelItem.gif"
ClientOnClickNavigateUrl="https://www.google.com.hk/"
/>
To remove the “Delete” menu, we can comment the code below:
<SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate
UseShortId=false
id="OLListItemDelete"
runat="server"
Text="<%$Resources:cms,SmtDelete%>"
ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/DelItem.gif"
ClientOnClickScript="%SmtObjectDeleteScript%"
/>
The result is as below:
More information:
MenuItemTemplate Class (Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls)
MenuItemTemplate.ClientOnClickScript property (Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls)

Web Analytics for SharePoint 2010 Issue

Hi Guys
I've provisioned Web Analytics in our SharePoint 2010 farm. But I am not getting any figures in the reports. Just all zeros. The Web Analytics Service & Proxy are running, the staging & reporting databases appear to be populated
& there are .USAGE files being generated. I have restarted services & rebooted all servers in the farm.
Message is:
There is no data available for this report. Here are some possible reasons: (1) Web Analytics has not been enabled long enough to generate data; (2) There is insufficient data to generate this report; (3) Data logging required for this report might not be
enabled; (4) Data aggregation might not be enabled at the level required for this report.
I have looked at:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/5fdd162a-72f2-4146-a3a7-925b86bc085e/sharepoint-2010-web-analytics-not-working?forum=sharepointadminprevious
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sharepoint_strategery/archive/2012/03/16/troubleshooting-sharepoint-2010-web-analytics.aspx
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi Darren,
After you have created the Web Analytics Service Application you will have to start two services for populating the data. Go to Central Administration –> System Settings -> Manage service on server. Start the following two services:
1. Web Analytics Data Processing Service
2. Web Analytics Web Service
Choose which events you want to log
Once the services are started go to Central Administration –> Monitoring –> Configure Web Analytics and Health Data Collection and set the appropriate logging, you’ll want to make sure you’re logging following:
1. Page Requests
2. Search Query Usage and so on
Associate the Service Application with the Web App
1. You also want to make sure that your Service Application is associated with your Web Application, so go to Central Admin –> Manage Web applications
2. Highlight the web application you want and click “Service Connections” in the ribbon bar.
3. Make sure the Web Analytics Service Application is associated with the web app
It is recommended when using a multiple server farm to start these service on multiple servers.
After you have performed these steps you can use the Web Analytics reporting. It can take one day before you can view any results. This because the data has to be populated.
Note: i am assuming that you have already created "State Service" service application which will generate charts.

SQL 2012 AlwaysON High Availability for SharePoint 2013

Our Company have 2 Webfront Servers for Sharepoint 2013 and one Database SQL 2012 Server.
We got one more Server & we don't have Storage so need to configure Always On.
There are Some Confusions:
1- Database Server is in production, so how much down time required to Achieve the AlwaysOn?
2- What are the Changes need to be done on Production Server?
3- What are the Steps to be followed While Configuring new Database Server?
Regards,

Hi Genius1985,
According to your description, you want to configure a SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn Availability Group for your database, right?
Question 1: Database Server is in production, so how much down time required to achieve the AlwaysOn?
There is no a certain downtime for AlwaysOn, it depends on the configuration of our AlwaysOn Availability Group, normally it can be several seconds or minutes. In order to understand why there is downtime for SQL Server with Microsoft Clustering, please refer
to the following article:
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1882/understanding-why-there-is-still-downtime-for-sql-server-with-microsoft-clustering/
Question 2 and 3: What are the Changes need to be done on Production Server? What are the Steps to be followed While Configuring new Database Server?
Since AlwaysOn Availability Groups require a Windows Server Failover Cluster, we first need to add the Windows Failover Cluster Feature to all the machines running the SQL Server instances that we will configure as replicas.
Once the Windows Server Failover Cluster has been created, we need to proceed with enabling the AlwaysOn Availability Groups feature in SQL Server 2012. This needs to be done on all of the SQL Server instances that we will configure as replicas in our
Availability Group.
For more details about Step-By-Step: Creating a SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn Availability Group, please refer to the following article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/canitpro/archive/2013/08/20/step-by-step-creating-a-sql-server-2012-alwayson-availability-group.aspx
