What do I need to upgrade to Sharepoint 2013 Server
Hello Community
At this point using Sharepoint 2010 Server and the UI I have built an intranet
consisting of a 2 server farm (DC and Sharepoint 2010 Server both on Windows 2008 Server).
But the goal is to move up to Sharepoint 2013 Server which might not be a
straight forward upgrade.
So the question is what version of Windows Server does Sharepoint 2013 Server
use, how do you copy the Windows 2008 Server DC and Sharepoint 2010 Server onto
the Windows Server version that Sharepoint 2013 Server will run on?
Thank you
Shabeaut
Shabeaut,
Just to elaborate a little more, there's not a direct version upgrade from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013, like there was in previous versions. The only way to directly transfer or copy content from SharePoint 2010 is by the
database attach method, which is basically copying the content database files from SP2010's SQL server to the SQL server used by your SP2013 farm.
There are many differences in the architecture between SP2010 and SP2013, so a good amount of research and planning is involved as well as a much larger recommended server farm. Start with reading the TechNet article posted by Paul Stork
to start getting an idea of the actual steps, but upgrading from SP2010 to SP2013 is a major effort.
have fun,
Tony

Is Azure needed in on-premise Sharepoint 2013 Server farms?
Hello Community
When you have an on-premise Sharepoint 2013 Server farm
do you need Azure or is Azure only needed when you have a
Sharepoint 2013 Server farm in a cloud?
Thank you
ShabeautNo, you do not need Azure for an on-prem farm, unless you're working with Low Trust SharePoint Apps.

Hello Community
Currently I have a Sharepoint 2010 Server farm.
One server contains the database and DNS server
because it is the the domain controller.
The other server Contains the Sharepoint 2010 Server software
and is the the application server where applications such as Metadata,
UPs, etc, reside (including web applications with sites built with the UI).
Now I am going to change to Sharepoint 2013 Server because currently
there is no newer version of Sharepoint available.
I am ready to rebuild the current Sharepoint 2010 farm configuration into
a Sharepoint 2013 Server farm from scratch.
The question is what do needs to be added and\or changed to make the current
Sharepoint 2010 Server farm configuration work as a Sharepoint 2013 Server farm?
Thank you
ShabeautThere is no direct in-place uprade method for SharePoint 2010 to 2013. You need to create a new SharePoint 2013 farm from scratch and attach service and content databases to upgrade them. Check out Upgrade
to SharePoint 2013 for more information about the process.
If you have another server, you would install SharePoint 2013 on this. If you don't, you'll need to remove SharePoint 2010 from your existing server and then install SharePoint 2013. Check out Hardware
and software requirements for SharePoint 2013 before starting to make sure your server meets the minimum requirements for SharePoint 2013:
Web server or application server in a three-tier farm
Pilot, user acceptance test, or production deployment of SharePoint Server 2013 or SharePoint Foundation 2013.

What will Meeting Workspaces look like in SharePoint 2013?
We are looking to upgrade to SharePoint 2013, and are concerned about the Meeting Workspaces. I understand that they need to be operated in 2010 mode, how does this work? Do we need to switch from 2013 to 2010 and then back again, based on
what site/subsite we are on? What does this look like? How can we fix this, is there a way to change the existing meeting workspaces to team sites instead? Any help would be greatly appreciated.Hi,
Please refer to Discontinued features and modified functionality in Microsoft SharePoint 2013
and note, all Meeting Workspace site templates are no longer available as a site option:

What do i need to prepare on premises Apps Server?
hi , i want to use the on-premises Apps, and i will configure the high trust between the apps server and my SharePoint 2013 server, but now i have to know what do i have to install on the apps server i will basically need windows and VS2013, but do i need
any other applications or tools ?The infrastructure (server) is the same whether you are doing SharePoint hosted apps or provider hosted apps. The only difference is that the provider hosted apps are hosted on a different web site. That web site can be either on the same server
or on a different server. If you want to do provider hosted apps on a separate server then that server needs to be able to host web sites. It can be IIS, Apache, anything that will host web sites. But your AppsServer can be just a different
IIS web site on the SharePoint server.
VS only needs to be on the SPServer when developing Apps. Once the App is developed, tested and packaged you can use the .APP package on any SharePoint server or even another farm.

What is the build version for Sharepoint 2013 Server including trial version there is one?
Hello Community
When using WS2012 and Sharepoint 2013 Server, what
build version for a Sharepoint 2013 Server farm should
be applied and where do you get the cumulative update
for it (trial version also if there is one)?
Thank you
ShabeautHi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to know which SharePoint build version should be applied to Windows Server 2012 and where to get cumulative update.
If you want to use SharePoint in Windows Server 2012, you can use the RTM version 15.0.4420.1017.
For CU update and build version, I suggest you can refer the detailed article below:
SharePoint 2013 Build Numbers
Thanks

Hello Community
If you have a clustered Sharepoint 2013 Server farm running RAID 10, on a
clustered WS2012 R2 server that has 10 hard drive slots:
(4) drives being part of the Sharepoint 2013 Server farm
(1) drive for the Web App Server
(5) are for hot swap if any of the production hard drives fail
The question(s) is:
- If the server only has 10 slots for hard drives are you still allowed to add a
NAS/RBS drive and does the NAS/RBS drive get clustered also, or does this scenario require
reducing the RAID level down to RAID 5 to allow for NAS/RBS hard drive?
- Does the NAS/RBS hard drive need a hard drive for hot swap?
- Does the NAS/RBS drive have to have Sharepoint 2013 Server or WS2012 R2 running on it?
- Does the Web App Server have Sharepoint 2013 running or just WS2012 R2 running on it?
Thank you
ShabeautRAID 10 requires a minimum of 4 hard drives. The LUN for RBS must be attached to the SQL Server, not SharePoint server, as a local drive. You just need to be running the minimum required OS for the version of SQL Server you're using.
Do you mean Office Web Apps by "Web App Server"? If so, that cannot have SharePoint installed on it. Otherwise, if you're just referring to it as another SharePoint server, yes it would have SharePoint installed on it.

Hi
After I ran SharePoint configuration wizard successfully to upgrade to SharePoint 2013 / SP1.
I can open Central Administration site just fine.
but now when I open any Site collection, I got this error.
Server Error in '/' Application
This operation can be performed only on a computer that is joined to a server farm by users who have permissions in SQL Server to read from the configuration database. To connect this server to the server farm, use the SharePoint Products Configuration
Wizard, located on the Start menu in Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products
I have restarted all the servers: SQL server, WFE and APP servers but still cann't get this resolve.
Services on all servers are running, IIS - application pools are running.
Can someone help with where that could be a problem or if there is a solution.
Thanks in advance for your comments or advices.
SwanlPlease verify the followings:
Make sure that from the SharePoint front end and application servers that you can ping your SQL server.
Make sure that your Farm account has permission to the configuration database.
Lastly verify that your database didn't for some reasons go into recovery mode.
once everything is fine and you are still having issues, restart the SQL host service on the SQL server.
Once the service is restarted you will need to reboot Central Admin and then your front end servers.
In addition, as you built your farm inside the firewall, please disable the firwall, or create rules for SQL Server service in the firwall on SQL server.
More information about creating rules in firewall, please refer to the following posts: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c5d4d0d0-9a3b-4431-8150-17ccfbc6fb82/can-not-create-data-source-to-an-sql-server http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1929/configure-windows-firewall-to-work-with-sql-server/

Sharepoint 2013 Server Search Not Working, URGENT!!
Hi thr,
im a current sharepoint 2013 server user and im facing a severe problem with sharepoint now, i cannot search using the search bar
And the Search Service Application keeps giving me this error, 'The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component in search application ‘Search Service Application’
is in a good state and try again. '
I have tried every possible way including creating new search service application, restarting the services , everything i had already tried but its still not working and keep giving me errors
Anyone can help me? its very urgent here, thanksCan you check out the patch status of the servers? If you've got auto-update on the servers and something for SharePoint has been downloaded and installed, it might need to be configured still. Either the PS Config (as suggested below) or the Set-up wizard
will take care of this
Additionally, the TechNet Wiki has something that might help you out

Do we require to install microsoft excel in sharepoint 2013 server?. if require to use sharepoint 2013 excel services.
In our organisation, development team is asking to install office 2013 in SharePoint 2013 server to use different services, where as architecture team not allowing for the same. I need to provide proper justification for installing office 2013 in SharePoint
2013 server. Please provide me the correct solution for the same.No, you do not need to install Office on the SharePoint server to utilize the Excel Services. Office should not be installed on the SharePoint server.
Do they need Office Web Apps? Are they looking to have the capability to edit documents in the browser maybe? Or have document preview on search? Office Web Apps would be required for this, but this is a different product than Office.

Do you have to create SPN before you install Sharepoint 2013 Server?
Hello Community
After installing WS2012 and Sharepoint 2013 Server on it, I
created SPN's for the SQL Server and domain user.
While creating the web application I ran across some information
that says if you use Kerberos Authentication you have to setup the SPN's
in AD DS before you install Sharepoint 2013 Server.
That doesn't make sense to me because it might be possible that
SPN's may be needed to be created throughout the lifetime of the
Sharepoint farm which could be forever.
So the question is, is it true that you can only use Kerberos
Authentication if you created the SPN's in AD DS first?
Thank you
ShabeautYou can create it after-the-fact, you just may have access issues until it is created and the user account running the pool is logged off and back on again. Right, it has nothing to do with the installation status of SharePoint.
