Upgrade SiteCollection 2010-2013

Hi All,
I'm finishing migration fomr SP 2007 to SP 2013, now I'v attached my ContentDB to a new Web App in SP 2013 Farm.
Browsing now my site in SP2013, the system advise me a page like the following images.
I already tried to perform the migration by clicking on the button "Upgrade the Site Collection", but at the end the system gave me about 300 errors on the "variations".
I wanted to know if this type of upgrade affects only the part of branding or other core features, because I wouldn't do it, also because, by applying the master page of the client, the SP2010 layout will not be visible.
Thanks!

Hi,
my steps was:
MOSS2007
- execution command preupgradecheck
- fix all errors (wbpart missing, feature missing ecc ..ecc)
- backup DB
SP2010
- execution command Test-SPContentDatabase
- Create My new WebApp
- execution command Mount-SPContentDatabase
SP2013
- execution command Test-SPContentDatabase
- Create My new WebApp
- execution command Mount-SPContentDatabase
Thanks!

Office 2010 MUI in Finnish and Save and Send function not working after upgrading to Lync 2013 MUI

Problem is as follows. Used to have Office 2010, Outlook 2010 and Lync 2010, everything was working. People used it in Finnish and seemly quite a many of them used the Talleta ja lähetä (Save and Send in Finnish) in Office products.
After upgrading Lync to 2013 version, with Finnish language pack installed with it, the Save and send does not work in Office 2010 if it is used with Finnish as display language. When you try to use it you get a Mapi error and reason is undefined or something,
hard to say what it is exactly in english as the error message is in finnish. On those machines if the display language is changed back to english the Save and send works as it should.
Any ideas?

The problem was caused by the Language Packs for Lync 2013 or Office 2013. Without them all works.
And if you want to just unisntall the 2013 lang packs, then you also need to repair install the office 2010 ones to make it work again.

Excel file error after upgrade from 2010 to 2013

Hi there,
I did the upgrade from 2010 (Enterprise) to 2013. The excel files are not opening giving error.
ULS Log: "Unexpected error when trying to access service settings in the configuration database. Make sure the proxy for this service application is a member of the default proxy group for the active web application. Error = ExcelServerWebServiceApplication.Local:
Could not get the web application associated with this context. This indicates that the Excel Server service is not properly registered or provisioned.."
Question : Do I need to create New Excel Service Application separately on SharePoint 2013 Server?
I followed this link for upgrade
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj839719.aspx but it doesn't say anything for Excel SA.
Note: I have plan to configure separate Office APP Server to give user access the documents on iPad/iPhone. Should I need to do any configuration related to this error on Office App Server?
Please advice.
Thanks,
Khushi

Hi Khushi ,
Yes, you need to create New Excel Service Application separately on SharePoint 2013 Server. Due to only the following service applications have databases that can be upgraded when you upgrade from SharePoint
Server 2010 to SharePoint Server 2013:
Business Data Connectivity service application
Managed Metadata service application
PerformancePoint Services service application
Search service application
Secure Store Service application
User Profile service application
Attaching and upgrading these databases configures these service applications. Settings for other services will have to be reconfigured when you upgrade.
Reference:
Services upgrade overview for SharePoint Server 2013
For configuring Office Web Apps Server , you can refer to the blog:

VS 2010 Silverlight project upgraded to VS 2013 - not hitting break point.

dear Readers,
thank you for taking the time to read this posting.
we had developed a SL project using VS 2010 and it was successfully upgraded to vs 2013. after a couple of hiccups, the application compiled and ran successfully. the SL app is still in .net framework 4.0.
due to some changes, we wanted to debug the application. Even after marking a couple of break points, we found that vs 2013 did not hit the breakpoints when we ran the app with F5.
We tried the following and it still would not hit the breakpoint:
1. deleted the /bin and /obj directories in SL and .Web projects.
2. deleted .xap file and /bin /obj directories.
We tried attaching/detaching the sl process in Firefox. IE, and chrome - no luck.
any suggestions will be appreciated.
regards
ravi.

SharePoint Workspace 2010 still installed after upgrade to Office 2013

I'm working on a deployment of Office 2013 in a corporate environment. Using the OCT, I've customized a package which is working well on machines that don't have previous version of Office installed. However, many of the existing machines currently
have Office 2010. After executing the Office 2013 package, we're noticing that while the upgrade works, SharePoint Workspace 2010 and the Office 2010 Tools still exist in the Start -> Programs menu. I also see Office 2010 in Add/Remove programs
(along with the new Office 2013). The OCT is specifically set to uninstall previous editions of Office during the upgrade (which is the default behavior).
I'll seen a couple of other posts like this on the forum, but unfortunately no answers. How can I *completely* uninstall Office 2010 (including SharePoint Workspace 2010 and the Office 2010 tools) during the upgrade to Office 2013? This
corporation doesn't need SharePoint Workspace 2010; my guess is that it was included by default with the Office 2010 package that they rolled out in the past.
Thanks!

Hi,
By default, the uninstall option in Office Customization Tool (OCT) will not remove SharePoint Workspace 2010 as SharePoint Workspace is no longer include in Office 2013.
Try to create a separate Office 2010 .msp file, set Microsoft SharePoint Workspace and Office Tools to "Not Available" and deploy it
prior to the installation of Office 2013.
Or you can do an Uninstall upgrade. Basically, use the /uninstall [ProductID] command-line option to uninstall Office 2010 from the user's computer first and then after that is finished, install Office 2013.
Here is a great example of how to perform an uninstall-upgrade for enterprise deployments :
http://blogs.technet.com/b/odsupport/archive/2011/04/06/how-to-perform-an-uninstall-upgrade-to-office-2010.aspx (Note, the steps are wrriten for Office 2010, but it holds good for Office 2013.)

User metadata values is showing as plain text in Mysites after upgrading from 2010 to 2013

We have upgraded our Mysite from 2010 to 2013, after upgrading User metadata values is showing as plain text where
as in 2010 it has shown as hyperlinks.
In Mysite 2010 by clicking on user metadata for favorite sports, Favorite Movies etc...it will give the results from search containing same value for other user
by going to search results page. After upgrading it to 2013 (with 2010 UI) and running full crawls, I am able to search by clicking on any user property.
After upgrading look and feel to 2013 version these fields showing as plain text. Can anyone suggest how can we get hyperlinks and how can we make user
metadata searchable directly by clicking on Property value from Mysite. Below screen print explain you the difference clearly.
Santosh

Hi Inderjeet, thanks for the update.
I am running with SP1 + july2014 CU.
Search is working fine, I am able to get search results from search page, here the problem is I cannot go to search results by directly clicking on a property.
In SP 2010, If I click on favourite sports team, (Chelsea football) it will open search results page with all users who have given this team name.
Where as in SP 2013, this data is appearing as plain text in mysites(Please note before UI upgrade, I am able to search as in SP 2010). You can notice the difference in my above screenshot.
Is this default behaviour in SP 2013? Has anything changed or am I missing something.

SharePoint blog categories don't work sincee upgrading from 2010 to 2013

Our Online Learning department had a SharePoint blog when we were using SharePoint 2010. We recently upgraded to SharePoint 2013, and all of the category and archive links don't show any posts. Does anyone know of a solution for this?
I was able to create a post today with several categories assigned to it, but it still didn't show when I clicked a category link.

Hi,
As I understand, all of the category and archive links don't show any posts in your sharepoint blog.
Check things below:
1. To check if the Url shows correctly. When I click the category url, my url show as
“http://server name/blog site name/_layouts/15/start.aspx#/Lists/Categories/Category.aspx?CategoryId=3&Name=Events”.
2. Click the category link and edit the page, then check if the needed web parts exist.
In my environment, there are four web parts named posts, categories, blog tools, and archives in the page.
3. Can you provide the screenshot after you click the category link?

After upgrade to outlook 2013 Contacts have the default picture in reading pane

I'm using Windows 8 on a domain (using a domain account not a Microsoft account) connecting to Exchange, all my Contacts were outlook contacts with pictures and other data, I could see the picture of the contact in the reading pane and people pane while
using Outlook 2010.
After the upgrade to Outlook 2013 the contacts are not lost (I can see them in the People Hub) but it appears that they are unavailable in the reading pane because all I can see is the default picture (the default picture picture is also visible in the notifications).
If I put the mouse over the name of the people while in the reading pane all I can see is the card with the default info (the only data visible is that the contact is available in the next 8 hours), if I compose a new message and hover the name of the contact
i can see the card with all the data (picture, company, etc.).
Is this the default behavior in Outlook 2013 if you are in a domain and not connected to any service or there is a way to show the picture of my contacts in every part of outlook?

No, it should be available still. Did you recreate this mail profile after the upgrade?
Try forcing a complete update of the Office Line Address Book via the Send/Receive tab-> Send/Receive Groups-> Download Address Book
Otherwise, reset the OAB by renaming your oab-file to .old when Outlook is closed. You'll find them here:

Applying CU4 for Exchange 2013 SP1 in a mixed 2010 / 2013 Environment

We're planning to apply Exchange 2013 SP1 CU in our mixed 2010 / 2013 environment. We'd also like to apply Exchange 2010 SP3 Rollup 5 as well. Are there any gotchas or best practices on what update to apply first?
Orange County District Attorney

We are planning to update our 2013 from CU5 to CU8
and 2010 SP3 to Rollup 9
I cant find any official documentation from MS concerning the upgrade path. Example.
Exchange 2013 first, then 2010. Like the above post outline.
I see 2010 being upgraded first thus bring version numbers closer together, reducing incompatibilities.
Do you still feel this is the appropriate install procedure?
Have you done this?

Upgraded to SP 2013 - Scope Rules are empty

Hi,
We upgraded to SP 2013 enterprise from sharepoint 2010 and this involved upgrading the search admin database as well.
I believe search scopes that was migrated from SP 2010 are available as read-only but the item count in rule shows error. I have run full crawl and there are items in the index but my custom search scopes are failing because the rules has no items.
Is this a known issue in SP 2010 to SP 2013 migration of search service?
Regards,
Manoj
"The opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of anybody else"

Thank you for the reply.
I understand scopes are not supported in 2013 but they are available if your site is in 2010 mode and our sites are upgraded and all are in 2010 mode on our 2013 farm. But I believe scopes that existed in the migrated sites would work if you keep them in
2010 mode in the 2013 farm?
Update: I observed that this happens when we have content types in rules and that too not oob content types but the ones we created by deriving from oob content types. There is no custom coding involved in these just that we had content type we created,
for example, for project type documents. If I create a custom scope on my site in 2013 farm which is in 2010 mode it shows item count in the scope and I have added a rule to a custom library. But if I edit that scope and add a rule to include my content type
the item count is error and total count also shows error!

What is the order for upgrading exchange server 2013 SP1 servers to CU7?

Hi All
I am planning to upgrade my exchange server 2013 SP1CU4 to CU7 . As per my understanding , we always proceed with the CAS servers and then the Mailbox Servers during up-gradation.
But I am confused now , since I have seen articles stating , that the Mailbox servers has to be upgraded first and then the CAS servers in exchange 2013.
What will be the correct order . My environment consists of 2 Mailbox servers in DAG and 2 CAS servers (Exchange server 2013 SP1)
Thanks in Advance .
Joyso Senior Messaging Admin

Hi Joyso,
The Microsoft recommendation regarding the order in which the Exchange 2013 server roles should be installed or Upgraded is Mailbox and then CAS.
It makes sense as the CAS Role is a stateless server and all major components are held by the Mailbox Role.
Until a 2013 mailbox server comes online, the CAS server is pretty much useless. Hence, the recommended installation order in 2013 is the reverse of 2010 – Mailbox role first & then CAS
Note: If your DAG have more nodes, you need first upgrade all non-PAM nodes and then upgrade PAM node.
Some References:
The recommendation from the Product Group is to install Exchange 2013 Preview Mailbox Role first, and then the
CAS role.
If you're separating your server roles, we recommend installing the Mailbox server role first.
Upgrade your Exchange 2013 server roles in the required order. First, upgrade Mailbox servers
and then upgrade Client Access servers. -Upgrade DAG Mailbox servers
Exchange 2013 Server Roles Installation Order – Mailbox First:

Exchange 2010-2013 co-existence - need for OWA/ActiveSync legacy namespace?

Hi all
Straight to the point: how to I update units that were set up manually with Exchange ActiveSync (pointing to owa.domain.com) with a temporary legacy namespace owa-legacy.domain.com, and then back to owa.domain.com?
Background: I did a test run of migrating a single-server installation from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013. As expected, after moving a user's mailbox to the new Exchange 2013 CAS with owa.domain.com still pointing to Exchange 2010, the user
was unable to log in at the Exchange 2010 OWA, and the ActiveSync unit was unable to fetch mail.
So I created a legacy namespace (owa-legacy.domain.com) and set this as the URL on the Exchange 2010 server, and waited for it to populate, then switched owa.domain.com to Exchange 2013. But the URL on ActiveSync units was still pointing to the wrong URL.
What did I overlook or not understand, or am I making migration more complex than needed?
Thanks for reading and best regards
/Maurice
PS: here were some of my pre-post readings:
Exchange 2003-2013 co-existence, even better
Exchange 2003-2013 co-existence,
Exchange 2010-2013 co-existence slides,
Upgrading ActiveSync to Exchange 2010,

Hi
Is that because External URL on Internet facing CAS servers were set to Blank，and Users are not able to get Updated URL
Please try to Add the External URL and made sure that all the required configurations are set Appropriately.
Also I suggest posting on Exchange ActiveSync Forum as well

After Upgrade into SP 2013 Business data from other SQL DB

Hi All, We are in process of SP upgrade from 2010 to 2013. We had a basic form in 2010 that was designed using SP Designer 2010. Now after the upgrade, we need to add few new fields (some might be drop-down lists) which will pull business data from SQL Server.
Could anyone guidelines as how to approach for this?
My findings & Thoughts: I need to BDC Service Applications (Any specific system requirements to create one in 2013?), then I need to create External Content Types. I need to add newly created external content types to my existing custom content
type(?).
Wondering if there is two way data synchronization available? Meaning say if user has drop-down available which pulls data from SQL Server, If user want to add new items in it. Would it update that field in SQL?
Any thoughts? Any reference would be appreciated.

Khushi

Which databases are required to be moved in MOSS 2007 for upgrade to 2010?
