Hi Friends, Today i was doing SharePoint farm configuration for one of my client. Setup was as follow. Operating System : Windows Server 2012 R2 Database Server : SQL Server 2014 with SP2 The server was having . net framework 4.6.1 installed . SharePoint server requirement is to have .net framework 4.5 and above. But still i got an error: Setup is unable to proceed due to following error: This product requires Microsoft .net framework 4.5  SharePoint 2013. What was wrong? The update KB3102467 was causing the issue. During the installation the installer verifies if .NET framework 4.5 is available and fails to install SharePoint 2013 if .NET framework 4.6 is installed. The reason is that .NET framework 4.6 replaces .NET framework 4.5 and is not a side-by-side installation. As the installer is not able to match .NET framework 4.6 to .NET framework 4.5 it will prevent the installation. The solution is to uninstall  KB3102467 . After successful ...

Virtualization remains one of the hottest trends in business IT. Whether your organization has already invested heavily in the cloud or is considering a first-time migration, it can be critical to consider the role of a hypervisor in youroverall experience. A hypervisor is computer software, firmware, or hardware that creates and runs virtual machines. The hypervisor presents virtual, or guest operating systems to virtual machines and manages the execution of these virtual operating platforms, which can consist of a variety of operating systems. The right hypervisor can ensure ease of use, flexible resource allocation, and minimal disruption to each of the operating systems in use. Two of the most common choices for hypervisors include vSphere by VMware and Hyper-V, by Microsoft. Hyper-V is built into Windows Server, or can be installed as a standalone server, known as Hyper-V Server, both of which can ease the learning curve for virtualization administrators who already have kn...

Hi Friends, Its over a year since we met each other. I am back guys. Lets start the post. This time i am going to describe one stupid error in SharePoint web part deployment. The developer came to me today with a issue . A Web Part or Web Form Control on this Page cannot be displayed or imported. The type YourNameSpace.YourPart, YourPart, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=SomeToken could not be found or it is not registered as safe. When you closely see , error itself shows some assembly is not added in safe control list. This is an unusal behaviour. When you deploy any solution , SharePoint does take care about adding safe control values in web.config. But what goes wrong here?? Web Part namespace was diffrent than specified in solution. It mayy possible that code is taken from some one or copied from another location If you have a web part, you will have a .webpart file. Open it up. You will want to ensure that the type name references your namespace and ty...

                     Exchange 2010 introduced the shadow redundancy feature to minimize the loss of any message during delivery after it enters the Exchange organization. Exchange Transport servers achieve this by using the shadow redundancy SMTP protocol extension.         However, in any organization Exchange Transport servers need to communicate with other third-party SMTP servers that may not support the shadow redundancy protocol. Transport servers delay sending acknowledgement to incoming messages until they verify final delivery within the organization. However, when a specific threshold was reached, the Transport server issued an acknowledgement even if final delivery wasn’t verified. This presented a scenario where messages received from hosts that don’t support shadow redundancy can be lost in transit.       ...

Outlook cached mode Þ      Cached mode is the new default configuration for Outlook. Þ      It provides an experience that is similar to the offline configuration in earlier versions of Outlook. Þ        When you are running in cached mode, your Exchange mailbox is synchronized to a local file (an .ost file), and the offline address list from your Exchange computer is synchronized to a collection of files (.oab files) on your client computer. Þ      Therefore, network communication between Outlook and Exchange is significantly reduced.   Why   offline address book is important? Þ      The offline address book contains a set of all the properties of a user that Outlook requires. Þ      With an offline address book, Outlook does not have to connect to the global catalog to resolve names.

Microsoft has released the preview software for Windows Server 2012 R2, System Center 2012 R2 and SQL Server 2014 at its TechEd Europe 2013 conference in Madrid. The preview software offerings are designed to blur the boundaries between customers’ own datacentres and the Windows Azure public cloud for a hybrid IT infrastructure. “These products are going to have a massive impact on companies around the world – and IT pros are going to see the traditional boundaries between datacentres vanish and a true hybrid cloud emerge,” wrote Brad Anderson, corporate vice-president of Windows Server & System Center at Microsoft, on the company blog.The update to the server, management and SQL products forms part of Microsoft’s “cloud-first design principles” and its Cloud OS strategy, according to Anderson.

Microsoft has released an update for Application compatibility in Windows 7.The Windows application compatibility update is a software update that improves the compatibility experience in Windows 7. The problems that are resolved by application compatibility updates When you try to install and run certain games or applications in Windows 8 ,you may experience one or more of the following symptoms: The game, the application, or the driver is installed incorrectly. The game, the application, or the driver causes system instability. The primary functions of the game, of the application, or of the firmware do not work correctly.

With the release of Windows server 2012, Microsoft does the game again. In windows server 2012 Microsoft introduced some changes in all the roles like file sharing, identity, storage, virtual desktop infrastructure, and certainly server virtualization and cloud. Let’s walk through the security features that Microsoft brought into amazing windows server 2012.     1. UEFI and Secure Boot:               Microsoft has replaced the traditional ROM-BIOS booting with UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) ver. 2.3.1 which prevents boot code update without signatures and digital certificates. We can say that boot process is completely secure. It also reduces risk of entering malicious code such as boot viruses and root kits.  

Server 2012 comes with some great new features. It also refines previous versions of Server to bring it up to parity, in features and stability, with competing offerings. In short Windows Server 2012 kicks ass. Here are the top 10 reasons why. 1. SMB 3.0 SMB 3.0 is the crown jewel of Server 2012. It is far removed from its laughingstock predecessor CIFS . It supports multiple simultaneous network interfaces – including the ability to hot-plug new interfaces on the fly to increase bandwidth for large or complex transfers – and supports MPIO, thin provisioning of volumes and reduplication (assuming the underlying storage is NTFS). SMB 3.0 also supports SMB Direct and remote direct memory access, the ability for appropriately kitted systems to move SMB data directly from one system's memory to the other, bypassing the SMB stack. This has enabled Microsoft to hit 16GBps transfer rates for SMB 3.0, a weighty gauntlet for any potential challenger to rise.

Many organization are complaining that when they install Exchange 2013, The user are facing the issue . when the send the E mail it stuck into drafts. Really it is a painful situation for administrator. It is the issue of DNS settings . following are the steps : Open Exchange control Panel Go to servers . Check external and internal DNS settings. If it is All IP addresses , change it and specify manually both DNS address. Check host file Entries. Add FQDN and IP of Exchange server . restart Exchange Services. Here you bingo.

During April 2013 Patch Tuesday, Microsoft released an update for Windows 7 (KB2823324) which was a security update for the Windows 7 file system kernel-mode driver. Unfortunately for some users, this update has resulted in an infinite reboot loop. Microsoft had to issue another fix, KB2839011, to address the reboot bug. Now, Microsoft is making available a new security update, KB2840149, which addresses the security issue that was supposed to have been fixed by the botched update, KB2823324. "As we previously discussed, we stopped distributing this update when we learned some customers were having issues. The new update, KB2840149, still addresses the Moderate security issue described in MS13-036, and should not cause these issues," Microsoft stated in an official blog post. Apparently, the original update created a conflict with certain third-party software, resulting in system errors. Microsoft had to immediately pull the update to prevent any more issues from coming u...
