Office Web Apps and SharePoint 2013

Excel Services is only an option on SharePoint Enterprise and is not available on the Standard edition of SharePoint.   It is nice to click on an Excel document and have
it open up directly in the web browser instead of loading it onto the desktop edition of Excel. The Web edition of SharePoint also opens up documents in a web version of Excel, Word, and Office. These are great for when you just want to pull up the document and take a quick look at it or do a quick edit.

On-premises developments of SharePoint can also enjoy these features through the Office Web Apps server. It’s a separate server that has to be setup on its own without a SharePoint install being on it as well. The SharePoint Server is binded to Web Apps server with http or https. Https will be required if the SharePoint deployment is exposed to the outside word. The Web Apps server license is free through Microsoft’s volume licensing center.

The quick and easy way to find out if your Office Web Apps server is setup correctly with SharePoint is when you’re in a document library and you click on the “new document” button; a little pop shows up and lets you create new file in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or OneNote.

The group admin can add external users to the group. In public external groups, other users in the group can suggest that adding an external user, but the admin has control over whether that user is added, and has to approve the addition of the external member. In private external groups, only the admin can add external members, just like in private groups today.

Orphaned Application Pools

This is something that I’ve run into from time to time. For whatever reason it maybe, sometimes I need to delete a service applications. You tell SharePoint to delete all data associated with it. It runs for a min or two and it says that the service applications is deleted. Then you go to recreate the service application and it says that the application pool with that name still exists. This is where we will use the SharePoint Management Shell to see what Application Pools are still there.

  1. Run the SharePoint Management Shell as an adminApp pool
  2. Type in: Get-SPServiceApplicationPool | select Id, Name
  3. Let’s say that we are removing the UserProfileServiceApplicationPool
  4. Type in: Remove-SpServiceApplicationPool –Identity “UserProfileServiceApplicationPool”
  5. Then it will ask you if you are sure you want to perform this action, you’ll click Y for yes.
  6. The Application Pool has now been deleted
  7. Now you can recreate the service application with the application pool that you want to use.
