SP2013: When running the configuration wizard you get the error: The process does not possess the 'SeSecurityPrivilege' privilege which is required for this operation

Hi,
You need to grant access under local or group policies on the servers.

Manage Auditing and Security Log.
i Added my Installation and Farm Account and then you need to restart your server.

After just a GPUpdate it failed again.

Add a Secure Web Application to a wildcard certificate

Hi,
i Have got a server with a wildcard already added and want to add another site that must be secure.

You can start of by adding another Web Application with a host header and using port 80.

On You Web Application:
Then open IIS 7.
To verify, check that there is a certificate loaded you can click on the server name on the left and go to Server Certificates

Then click on sites, go to your new Web Application and on the right click on bindings.


In SharePoint 2013 you also need to do this step:
Goto Central Administration -> Security -> Manage Trust
Click New, give it a name and browse to the existing  Certificate CER file.


Under the bindings click on add and add your Secure details.
Type = https
Port = 443
Hostname = siteurl (no https)
SSL Certificate = The existing wildcard certificate.

Leave the http binding there for now. Can remove it later to create a redirect. (You can prob remove it now if you like...)





Remember that you will need a DNS entry for you new Host header..
To start of you can test and see if you can open your site with the normal url Sitename.domain.com, if that works try https://sitename.domain.com.

If the https works, go back to where you selected your site on IIS and select SSL Settings, change this to "Require SSL"

Then i must still add how to do a redirect from http to https...Basically create another site with http and redirect it to https site.

Set up drop of library

Hi,

Realised everything here does not 100% sense..will be looking at this and filling in the blanks in the near future.

Here is how to setup a drop-off Library:

Steps:
Activate Content Organizer under site settings


Goto Site settings and goto Content Types
Create a new Content Type


Custom Content Type
Add New Site Columns for Custom Content Type
         FYI: If you send to different site there is a check box under content organiser settings

Now you have to add Columns to the content type


In my case i pointed to Managed meta data with Sister company names as a managed metadata field.
The plan is that once you upload a doc it gets routed to the correct company folder.

Go to Site Settings.
Get Web Service URL at bottom of Content organiser settings.


Go to Central Admin, select General Application Settings
Select "Configure Send to Connector"
Select your web Application and create a new connection
Under Send to Url paste the url you copied from Content Organiser settings


Create Target libraries where the files must be sent to.

Open SharePoint designer and connect to your libraries, Drop off and destination libraries.
Make sure Allow Management of Content Types is checked in each.

Then click on Add and select content type

For Destination Document libraries do the same in Designer.


You are done with designer.

Go to Site settings on Site Collection
Click on "Content Organizer Rules"
Give it a name which ref the destination location for this file
Create Content Organiser Rules
Set Priority on 1 highest
Select Custom Content type
and type select you content type
Under Conditions select your Content Type
"Operator" is equal to and select the skill you are creating a rule for (SharePoint)
Now select the SharePoint skill set library
(Do for each folder you created)


fyi: make sure you have content type on target and library before you add it above

Go to drop of lib settings - info management policy settings
here you can add retention policies
