SharePoint 2013 - Feature Comparison Matrix

Ever wondered what features were included in SharePoint Server Enterprise but not in Standard?  How about feature sets native to SharePoint Server versus SharePoint Online?

Well fear no longer my fellows! :)

SharePoint Server Search - Error Starting

Problem I recently ran into this snag at a client site while setting up the Search Service Application.  I was able to create the service application without a problem however when I attempted to start the SharePoint Server Search service (Manage services on server page) I kept getting Error Starting . After taking a peak at the logs I found the following: An attempt to start/stop instance of service SharePoint Server Search on server did not succeed. Re-run the action via UI or command line on the specified server. Additional information is below. Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED)) I double/triple checked the permissions and made sure that my Farm Administrator account was a member of WSS_WPG and WSS_ADMIN_WPG groups, and that those groups had full control permissions to the C:\Windows\Tasks and C:\Windows\Temp folders. Resolution I nearly lost hope when I remembered my old lost friend called STSADM.EXE. Just like in the old da...

SharePoint 2013 - Creating and Applying Composed Looks (PowerShell)

If you are a SharePoint administrator looking to quickly apply some basic branding to a site-collection in your SharePoint 2013 environment then you've come to the right spot. Before we begin I assume you have a basic understanding of what Composed Looks are, and perhaps you spent some time playing around with this concept in SharePoint 2013. If not, then don't worry.  Here is a basic primer: Composed Look is basically a package which contains elements used for controlling the overall look and feel of a SharePoint site.  This includes but not limited to Colors, Fonts, Background Image, CSS files, and Master Page files. Once created, Composed Look can be packaged by using the Design Manager feature, or we can use PowerShell to apply it across one or multiple site collections. NOTE: In this post we will be focusing on creating a composed look from an .spcolor file then using PowerShell to apply the design to a site-site collection of our choice.  We wil...

SharePoint 2013 - Can't access the site externally in Internet Explorer ("Page cannot be displayed")

Synopsis Before we start talking about the problem let's understand the setup here.  We have a SharePoint 2013 intranet site that is also configured for access outside of the corporate network.  Employees use the same URL to visit the site both internally and externally via standard ports (80 and 443). Internal URL: http://sharepoint.domain.com Public URL: https://sharepoint.domain.com The site URL has been added to the Local Intranet zone in Internet Explorer for passing domain credentials. Alternate Access Mappings have been configured in such a way that if a user requests the site over HTTP they are automatically re-directed to HTTPS. Internal URL Zone Public URL for Zone https://sharepoint.domain.com Default https://sharepoint.domain.com http://sharepoint.domain.com Default https://sharepoint.domain.com Web application has been configured to use Kerberos protocol for authenticating incom...
