Windows Update standalone installer ,installer encountered an error :0x80096002 while installing windows identity foundation in windows server 2012.

Issue: Windows update standalone installer, installer encountered an error :0x80096002,the certificate for the signer of the message is valid while installing the prerequisites of Windows6.1-KB974404 for SharePoint 2013 in windows server 2012.

                            

Solution: I found  that Windows Identity Foundation is built into Windows Server 2012 Release Candidate as an additional Feature that you can add via Server Manager

1.    So you need to make sure that the feature is added successfully in the server

2.    If still got the same error, Remove the feature and add again.

                         

After selecting Windows Identity Foundation 3.5 from the Add Roles and Features Wizard, I clicked Next and then Install.  Once the installation wizard completed successfully.

Patch order in SharePoint 2013 while joining server into farm

Patch order in SharePoint 2013 while joining server into farm

This question arises many times in minds of SharePoint administrators when they scale out the farms. In which or what order they need to patch he new servers to join in the existing farm. In this article I am providing the patching order of SharePoint farm to scale out.

1.    Install the Pre-requisites of SharePoint

2.    Install the SharePoint binaries

3.    Install the SP1

4.    Install the Language packs

5.    Install the SP1 for language packs

6.    Install the Cumulative updates(DEC,FEB,APR,JUNE…)

7.    Finally Run the Products and configuration wizard to join the new server into the farm.
8.Patch APP fabric if required

Note: The LP,CU’s should follow according to your existing servers in farm only. The above is the Order that should follow.

How to Sync a user account name which was changed in AD to SharePoint

How to Sync a user account name which was changed in AD to SharePoint.

This is the scenario most of the administrators will face in their experience like the user will left the company and after some days he joins back. when we create a new user name for that person even though we see the old name in SharePoint after the many successful imports.

Solution: SharePoint doesn't understand this change automatically. We need to make it understand by giving instruction via STSADM command

When user's Account Name (or Login Name: Domain\User) renamed in Active Directory, you have to use stsadm -o migrateuser command to associate the new AD account with an existing SharePoint profile.

STSADM:

stsadm -o migrateuser -oldlogin EU\susanapi -newlogin EU\suzanapi –ignoresidhistory

Power shell :

Move-SPUser –Identity "DOMAIN\OldUserName" –NewAlias "Domain\NewUserName"
