Subsite permission issues in Sharepoint foundation 2013

Hi,
I'm using SharePoint foundation 2013 and i'm having issue with the permissions on sub sites. I am owner of the primary site and the sub site inherits permissions, but I cannot edit the theme or upload files on the sub sites.
Is there anything i need to change somewhere else?
Thanks for the help
David

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I think i have resolved the issue with uploading files. The issue with the sub site and themes is that when i go to "change the look" no themes appear at all. There are no errors just no theme options. I have
checked permissions and i am site owner for both root and sub sites.
thanks for the help.

Sharepoint Foundation 2013 User field issue

Guys, I have an issue with Sharepoint Foundation 2013 site that we have created some custom workflows for. We have a couple required fields that we type in a users name and it automatically pulls up a user based on Active directory. once we choose that name
and then save the form. the field immediately becomes blank when i open the workflow item back up. I'm kind of at a loss. I've already totally hosed the server once and was forced to restore. This seams to have started when we installed share point server
patch KB2881077 but i cannot uninstall or roll back the patch as there is no option to.
Thoughts?

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 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 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

SharePoint Foundation 2013 - Master Pages

I am trying to create a SharePoint Intranet site but am quickly running into a number of issues and am looking for help.
I need to create a site that has multiple subsites (one for each department) however all of the subsites need to have a consistent look and feel about them so I have delved head long into branding, creating master pages, etc. I have set-up a
master page, with a logo and icon, I would like this to cascade down to all subsites and pages below however I have no option to set this up.
Is this a limitation of using foundation? What other limitations are there to foundation that I need to be aware of?
There also doesn't seem to be any visual designer, what do people use and what would people recommend to use?
I am sure there will be a number of other questions that I need to ask but these will do for starters.
regards,
Matt

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,

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

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 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.

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 collaboration - for a VERY small workgroup. Right choice???

Hi!
Let me start with a short background:
I've developed an ASP.Net application which currently uses Apache Solr for search and retrieval operations and for that purpose it works well. However, the users of this application has started to ask for facilities such as discussion forums, document-collaboration
(webdav, versioning, workflow...), calendars etc. and I'm faced with a feeling that I'm about to embark on a journey where I will develop functionality which is present in some of the "free" tools that Microsoft offers.
I've downloaded Search Server Express 2010 and in a very short amount of time I was able to develop a rather, well, sophisticated collaboration environment which gives me almost all of the above. Search is a KEY-feature that is one of the major concerns
for me as Solr provides alot of very sophisticated search-related operations but I've heard alot of good stuff about the Search Server included in SP Foundation 2013, which makes me wonder what that would give me if I take the plunge...
I'm a complete newbie to this SP-related stuff so I thought I'd better ask the pros in this forum so I don't make any unwise decisions leaving me in the dust :)
Soo, my dear fellow forum members - what would be the best way to go about this given the following facts:
small workgroup (8 people)
possibility to handle office-document, pdf-files and plain-text
discussion forums (both team-based and public)
team calendars
possibility to provide, say, a REST-api for digesting text-based data
powerful search facility able to index all of the document formats mentioned above
I'm leaning towards SharePoint Foundation 2013... what do you say - will it provide the above?
Many thanks to you all in advance,
/Peter

Simple answer: yes. SharePoint Foundation sounds like an excellent choice. There's one question that you'll need to answer: 8 people is not much, but how much data are they working with? That's probably not going to be an issue, but something you need
to be aware of.
Kind regards,

Sharepoint Foundation 2013 - Databases running in compatibility range, upgrade recommended

I have an issue with Search within my SharePoint Foundation 2013 Farm. This is a new Farm, so I can remove the search service application and re-create if this is a way that can clear the 2 issues I am experiencing.
Issue:
My search service application seems to be working fine as I am able to crawl content and retrieve results, however the DB's associted with this search service application are reported with the following warning within the SharePoint Health Analyzer. I have
been unable to run the Upgrade-SPContentDatabase command against these databases as I get a message saying that the content database could not be found:
Title
Databases running in compatibility range, upgrade recommended.
Severity
2 - Warning
Category
Configuration
Explanation
The following databases have versions that are older than the current SharePoint software, but are within the backwards compatible range:
Search_Service_Application_AnalyticsReportingStoreDB_a3c64b2f3b9b4a5d83383ec0b1ecfcf4,
Search_Service_Application_CrawlStoreDB_ffb8d716450242cc849a7f44f521bfc9,
Search_Service_Application_DB_0fe433c02db6435db85285e9fd83863e,
Search_Service_Application_LinksStoreDB_75efb2f689cf49f19c98a5a8155e47b7.
Remedy
To achieve optimal results from these databases, use Upgrade-SPContentDatabase to upgrade Content databases, or psconfig.exe to upgrade other databases. For more information about this rule, see "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=142697".

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 : 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,
Wendy
