I have a lync  2013 setup and I have multiple pools. For some reason when I go to the Admin console, I get prompted for either of the two pools we have deployed and I cannot open the lync control panel. I continually get prompted for credentials, then get the error message below.

401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.

When I use the browser and go to https://poolname.domain.com/cscp I get the same as above.

when I go to each server directly like this url https://lyncserver1.domain.com/cscp I can get in without a problem.

I thought maybe it's a problem with the certificate but I have the pool name in the certificate and I assume I'd be running into much more problems if that was the case.

If I try to host file my machine to point the pool name as the ip of one of my servers, I also continuously get prompted for credentials and then get the above error.

We have our pools behind a radware load balancer but I don't think it's an issue as going directly to the server as the pool name seems to not fix the problem.

recent changes include the latest CU and probably all recent windows updates. I took over the environment fairly recently so I do not know if anything else was done or how long this was occurring. I do know it was working recently. Thank you.

I added a site to the Search Result Removal under the SharePoint 2013 Search Administration page that I did not mean to remove is there a way to undo this change?

We have a on prem 2013 SharePoint farm 2 WFE and an application server. Our Search is throwing the following errors:

The mount operation for the gatherer application 37804509-7ebe-4dd0-80f6-846e90d288e9-crawl-0 has failed because the schema version of the search gatherer database is less than the minimum backwards compatibility schema version supported for this gatherer application. The database might not have been upgraded.

As this is a production environment, we are reluctant to rebuild for fear of taking SharePoint offline.

I have looked and there is a lot of information for 2010 and not so much for 2013.

Looking for help

Hi All,

I've got the task to install / deploy a custom application like Adobe Acrobat specific version to a specific group of computers (based on certain OU).

So I wonder how can I do it with no DOS batch scripting using the built-in Windows  Group Policy feature or GP preferences ?

Most of the clients are using Windows 10 (from 10240 up to TH2 and latest anniversary edition). I do not have access to SCCM.

Thanks,

Microservices is a lot I hear, particularly in the cloud computing world, is there any relevance to Windows server apps?

Does anyone know if SCOM 2012 R2 extends the SCHEMA of AD when installed?  If so can someone point me to the documentation on removal?

Thanks

Hi,

I have found various posts here and online but cant find one that can do everything I need in one report. I would like to create a SQL Reports for SCCM 2012 to show the following information in one report

PC Name
MS Office Version installed
MS Project version installed(if installed)
MS Visio Version installed (if installed)
MS Visual Studio Version installed (if installed)


I have had a look at the post below but when I select Office version 2010 it brings back 5-6 entries per PC

Hi,

I have an issue on SharePoint 2010 Foundation and the Quick Launch. We have a list of several sites on the Quick Launch that not every user has access to. For example, we have 2 sites called '2.0 Pondfield' and '5.0 Rheola'. User A has no access to either site, however, '2.0 Pondfield' shows on the Quick Launch but '5.0 Rheola' doesn't for User A. When I check the permissions for User A on each site, they have no permissions on either site. So why does one site show on the Quick Launch and the other doesn't? I've recorded a quick video to show this issue and you can download it on the link below.

Trying to create a hyper-v template for server 2012. I did run sysprep /OOBE and checked "generalize" but how come when I started this template it was asking to
1. accept license term
2. select region and language and click <Next>
and then comes the <Alt-Ctrl-Del> screen for you to log in the Administrator. Oops, if I didn't type the password I set prior to creating the template, I wouldn't be able to log in. A template should NOT be this way. Instead, it should allow you to set up a brand new password for the local Administrator. But in my case, it didn't happen that way.  
I must have done something wrong while creating the template. Can you help?
Thanks.

We have a SharePoint Server 2010 installed internally and another ASP.NET web application using Windows Authentication (same domain and same set of users as SharePoint). We want to configure ASP.NET web application as an external federated search source on SharePoint, it is running fine with Anonymous authentication for configured Federated Locations (using OpenSearch 1.0/1.1 protocol).

However, we would like to configure SharePoint to pass through or authenticate the ASP.NET web application using the same user account logged on SharePoint Sites. But we haven't found any way to do it yet.

Is that possible? And how to achieve that?

Some time ago I setup a test SP server, was a basic setup and used it to demonstrate some nice look sites and functionality to my bosses. The test server somehow drift into a production server along with all the mistakes and bugs. The server works, users are able to access what they need to, there are no work flows or anything fancy, we use it purely as a internal company info hub, new employees, general notifications and then we have our company's training manuals and quality management policies on it as well, these make up the biggest portion on SP and are also the most important.

Now it has recent been requested that Apps be added but the gremlins have shown me that this will not be allowed. I can't remember everything that was done to this system or what was added, removed, broken, fixed, etc. and I have a feeling it might take me longer to figure out than to actually just build a new SP server.

How would I go about installing a new SP server, keeping it the same name and not have to recreate all the content on the current server and ofc not drag any of the problems along with it?

Background - XenApp 7.6 on Windows 2012. Lync Server 2010 with Skype for Business 2016 client.

Trying to run Skype for Business 2016 client against Lync Server 2010. Microsoft says this scenario is possible if the server is running February 2015 Cumulative Update (4.0.7577.710). The server has been patched. I can open the client and login, however I receive a generic error message, see attached, that will not go away. If I click OK, the error message keeps coming back. The client works other than this error message. I cannot find any info in the event log on the Citrix server, the Lync server or any useful info in the Lync client logs.

Anything else I could look at that might help me with this issue?
Thanks.

My company recently migrated from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013 and they made the decision to not migrate the My Site data. I have a broken WebPart that is using the QuickLinkManager object to create a link to a individuals My Site. Can QuickLinkManager write to something else beside My Site or does anyone have an idea for a workaround?

Thanks for the assistance
