SharePoint/Project 2013 SP1 – Configuration wizard

by

After deploying Service pack 1 for SharePoint/Project 2013, you have to go through the configuration wizard. In this case, it was failing on all nodes with this error in log:

SyncUpgradeTimerJob: sleeping for 10 seconds
SyncUpgradeTimerJob: sleeping for 10 seconds
SyncUpgradeTimerJob: Upgrade timer job failed. Return -1.
The exclusive inplace upgrader timer job failed.

 

Step 1 – other log

Another log is much more useful, in same location, named like upgrade-date-blahblah-error.log:

Exception: The operation cannot be performed on database "WSS_UsageApplication" because it is involved in a database mirroring session or an availability group. Some operations are not allowed on a database that is participating in a database mirroring session or in an availability group.  ALTER DATABASE statement failed

Or by using upgrade-spfarm command:

29-03-2014 12-55-19

 

Answer

Remove SQL Mirrpor or Always-on during upgrade on this database.

 

 

RDP 2012(R2) – session collection – profile disk – 800391163

by

While creating a session collection on Windows 2012/2012R2, and specifying a share to host profile disks, you get error 800391163:

rdp2012_session_profile_disk_800391163

While applying, one of the RDP will create VHD template on the share using Local System:

rdp2012_session_profile_disk_procmon

In details:

rdp2012_session_profile_disk_procmon2

Even if the computers objects have full control on NTFS, it still fails.

You have to give “full control” to “everyone” on the share, “change” is not enough:

rdp2012_session_profile_disk_share

Another closed case ^^
