SharePoint 2013 Trial
When I talk to most of my clients I see that most of them aren’t aware that you can actually spin up a trial version of SharePoint 2013 on an Office 365 Environment. If you quickly want to setup a SP2013 Trial Environment I would defintely recommend that you click on the below link to get this going. It takes only about 5 minutes to set everything up.

SSRS 2012 Service Application in Sharepoint 2013 returns internal Server Error (500)
So you are installing SQL Reporting Services in a 2 or more server farm. And when you go to the service to manage it you’re getting the following error
Application error when access /_admin/ReportServer/ReportingServicesSystemSettings.aspx, Error=The remote server returned an error
Solution:
If you’re getting this error after you installed the SQL Reporting Services Add-in for SP2013 that means you haven’t installed Reporting Services on a SharePoint 2013 server. You can either install SharePoint on your Reporting Services installed server or install Reporting Services to one of your SharePoint App servers.
Install SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services on a SharePoint application server. In the SQL Server 2012 installation wizard, choose ‘Reporting Services – SharePoint’ on the feature selection page.
Hardware and software requirements for SharePoint 2013 Development Environment
For single server installations that you would typically use for your development environment you need minimum 24 GBs of RAM, 4 Cores, and 80 GBs of space.
Based on the MSDN article located at - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262485.aspx
Install Reporting Services SharePoint Mode for SharePoint 2013
So you installed SQL 2012 and SharePoint 2013 but you don’t know how to get Reporting Services working so you can use Power view? Well no worries here is a summary of what you need to do.
First, Install the Service
The first thing you need to make sure you do is install the service on SharePoint. Run the following PowerShell commands in SharePoint 2013 Management Shell as an administrator.
- Install-SPRSService
- Install-SPRSServiceProxy
- get-spserviceinstance -all |where {$_.TypeName -like “SQL Server Reporting*”} | Start-SPServiceInstance
Second, Create the Service Application
After you install the service in Central Administration you will now have the option to create a new SQL Server Reporting Services Service Application. Go to Application Management group, click Manage Service Applications and create a new service application. If you don’t see this option that means the above steps weren’t successful in creating the service. So make sure you have that completed before you try to create a new service application.
Third, Activate the Powerview Feature
To activate the feature, go to the site collection features and find the feature Power View Integration Feature in the list and click Activate.

Hi blog, I’m back!
It’s been a crazy year since I started PwC. I’ve been lucky enough to be working with great people – with world class talent … It has been fun and exciting, but it has been just a super high tempo of traveling around the country transforming tax technology using SharePoint. My team has been waiting for SharePoint 2013 and we’ve been working on creating a solution for Tax Departments using the new SharePoint 2013 functionality. I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our best practices and findings with our SharePoint 2013 implementations. Let the blogging begin!
