How to Remove SharePoint WFE/APP Servers from the Farm?

October 28, 2013    , , , ,
How to remove SharePoint server from farm? As per the Technet article, Remove a server from a farm in SharePoint 2013 , Use Add/Remove Programs from "Control Panel" to remove SharePoint 2007/2010/2013 servers from the Farm. Control Panel >> Add/Remove programs >> Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 >> Remove Make sure that the user account performing this procedure is a member of the Local Administrators group. However, If you try to rebuild SharePoint on the server, I would prefer to use "Disconnect this server from farm" option on PSCONFIG wizard. To remove SharePoint server from farm, Run "SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard" (psconfigui) and choose "Disconnect from this server farm option" and then run through the wizard. Once the wizard completed successfully on the server that you want to remove from the farm, that server won't be part of your SharePoint farm anymore! You can run the wizard again to join

Windows NLB Vs Hardware Load Balancer for SharePoint

October 18, 2013    ,
It's a best practice to use Hardware load balancer rather Windows NLB for SharePoint (or any other web applications!) for following reasons: NLB uses local resources on each server in the cluster - Which means additional load on SharePoint servers! NLB Cannot detect service outage. It can only detect server outage by IP address. If a particular server service fails, is hung, slow, or depreciated - WNLB cannot detect the failure and will still route requests to that server. NLB doesn't provide any specific feature or optimization such as : SSL off-loading, compression, Caching, Certificates management, etc. NLB is DNS Round Robin (RR) which simply forward the client hits to defined interfaces. So it leads to uneven spread of workloads across cluster nodes resulting in slow user response times and high latency for the application. Performance can degrade as more nodes are added to the cluster Adding or removing a single node can cause clients to reconnect to the WNLB clust

Sign in as Different User in SharePoint 2013 - Workarounds

October 13, 2013    , , ,
SharePoint 2013 doesn't offer the handy "Sign-in as different user" feature as in its previous versions under welcome menu. Not very clear why Microsoft has removed this option, I guess might be due to security/caching problems! Even in MOSS 2007, we had this functionality But some times, you may have to login as different user who has different permission than the current user. Here are some possible workarounds to enable sign in as different user in SharePoint 2013. Option 1: Navigate to Close Connection Page Navigate to the URL: http:// Your-Site /_layouts/closeConnection.aspx?loginasanotheruser=true BTW, The above URL is just copied from SharePoint 2010's Sign-in as different user option, and it works for SharePoint 2013 as well! Replace "Your-Site" with the SharePoint 2013 site collection URL of your environment.Once you hit this URL, you will be prompted to enter your user name and password. You can also bookmark it! just drag and drop thi
