Re: b26010 - BY DESIGN - Typo in Cryptographic ECDSA providers
Hi Karl-WE, I think there might be a misunderstanding about what "P521" represents in that key storage provider. P521 (along with P256 and P384) are elliptic curves that have been defined by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in FIPS 186-4, section D.1.2.5, as well as in SP 800-186, section 3.2.1.5. "P521" is actually the correct name to represent this elliptic curve in that key storage provider.1.2KViews1like1CommentRe: Deploying Custom Solutions in SP 2016 to Subscription Edition
Hi atty231, Microsoft has no plans to stop supporting full trust solutions (WSP packages) in SharePoint Server Subscription Edition. However, we encourage customers to explore converting full trust solutions into SharePoint Framework (SPFx)-based customizations, which are compatible with both SharePoint Server Subscription Edition and SharePoint Online. This way they'll be easier to migrate to SharePoint Online if/when you're ready to make the move to the cloud.1.9KViews0likes0CommentsRe: SharePoint Server Subscription Edition Licensing
Hi corrinechen, an M365 E3/E5 license can typically be used for SharePoint Server Subscription Edition. You can review these terms by going to the Microsoft 365 Product Terms site, then select your program offering from the drop-down menu, then scroll down to the "Office Servers" section to read the product terms. That said, I always recommend contacting a Microsoft licensing specialist as they can provide the most definitive answer for your situation.Re: SPFX supported version for SPSE
I just got confirmation that SPSE is currently using TypeScript version 2.4.2 today and we don't have near-term plans to update that version. But let us know if there's a particular version that you're interested in (and why) and we can consider this for the future. We're not ready to announce which newer version of React and Office UI Fabric React we'll support yet, but it should be pretty locked in by August so feel free to ask me then. 🙂4.2KViews0likes3CommentsRe: SPFX supported version for SPSE
Hi Nicolae, we'll be focusing our new SPFx (and related tech) investments on SharePoint Server Subscription Edition. SharePoint 2019 will continue to use SPFx 1.4.1. Afraid I don't know about TypeScript - I'll have to check on that. Is there a particular version that you're interested in?4.3KViews0likes5CommentsRe: SPFX supported version for SPSE
Hi spoofan, unfortunately the server-side architecture of SharePoint Framework makes it very difficult to port new versions of SharePoint Framework en masse from SharePoint Online to SharePoint Server. Just going from version 1.4.1 to 1.5.1 involved several hundred code changes, along with their API dependencies, that needed to be reviewed and adapted to work in an on-premises configuration. So going forward, we'll be focusing on the individual features/capabilities that on-premises customers need regardless of which version of SPFx that feature/capability was introduced in. And we'll decouple our dependencies on Node.js, React, etc., from the SharePoint Framework version numbers used in SPO. If there are individual features/capabilities you're looking for, please share them with us here or by opening a Design Change Request (DCR) to us through Microsoft Support.4.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: SPFX supported version for SPSE
Hi Nicolae, SharePoint Framework support was updated to version 1.5.1 in the Version 23H1 feature update for SharePoint Server Subscription Edition. As documented on our SharePoint Framework development with SharePoint Server 2019 and Subscription Edition page, we also support Node.js versions up to version 14. This is one step on our long-term journey to improve and expand the capabilities of SharePoint Framework in SharePoint Server Subscription Edition. We'll continue investing in supporting newer SharePoint Framework capabilities and related technologies, such as newer versions of Node.js, React, etc. Support for these related technologies will be decoupled from the SharePoint Framework version we declare support for, so we'll be able to support newer versions of those technologies even if the original release of any particular SharePoint Framework version didn't support it. The next feature update for SPSE will focus on supporting newer versions of React and Office UI Fabric React.4.5KViews0likes10CommentsRe: Third party oidc authentication with SPSE failed
Hi ictotum, you can open a support case by going to https://support.microsoft.com/contactus, then clicking Show expanded list of products, then clicking SharePoint Server. The cost to open a support case will depend on the type of support contract your organization has with Microsoft.6.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: SPFX supported version for SPSE
Nicolae, this is something we're truly interested in, which is why we're exploring it. Unfortunately for a variety of engineering reasons it isn't as simple as it might seem. But please continue to share your needs as that will help us to prioritize the right investments.6.3KViews0likes2CommentsRe: SPFX supported version for SPSE
Hi Nicolae, we've heard the feedback asking for SharePoint Server Subscription Edition to support newer versions of SharePoint Framework. (Thanks to everyone for sharing your feedback!) I'm afraid it's too early at this stage for us to commit to anything, but this is a request we're actively discussing / exploring.6.4KViews0likes5CommentsRe: Sharepoint SPSE and oidc with identity server failing
Hi Andrea Dal Farra, sorry to hear that you're having difficulty getting OIDC configured successfully with your identity provider. Unfortunately this isn't enough information for us to go on to investigate this issue. We'd need to understand what your repro steps were, your full ULS logs, and a capture of the looping requests in Fiddler or similar web debugging tools. I recommend opening a support case with Microsoft Support so they can work with you to collect this information and pass it on to the SharePoint team for investigation.1.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: SharePoint Server Subscription Edition Licensing
Hi 7Ocampo7, great question, thanks for asking. Anyone can download SharePoint Server Subscription Edition from the Microsoft Download Center. Normally you'd need to provide a production license key acquired through your Software Assurance subscription to install and use this software. However, we also provide free trial keys for customers who want to explore the software first before committing to purchasing a Software Assurance license. This free trial is valid for 180 days after installation and the trial keys can be found in the Install Instructions section on the SharePoint Server Subscription Edition download page in the Microsoft Download Center. Once you've decided to move forward with purchasing a Software Assurance license, you can either contact your existing Microsoft Volume Licensing software vendor or explore the options at How to Buy | Microsoft Volume Licensing. Note that you can convert your SharePoint Server Subscription Edition installation from free trial mode to production licensed mode at any time by providing your production license key through SharePoint Central Administration -> Upgrade and Migration -> Convert farm license type.Re: SharePoint Server Subscription Edition Licensing
Hi Fouziya, that's a great question. SharePoint Server Subscription Edition will continue to use the Server/CAL licensing model, but those licenses will only be available through Software Assurance. We don't offer perpetual licenses for SharePoint Server Subscription Edition. Customers will need to renew their Software Assurance contracts to maintain the right to use SharePoint Server Subscription Edition. If their Software Assurance contract expires without being renewed, then customers will no longer have the right to use SharePoint Server Subscription Edition. So in essence the recurring subscription is implemented through Software Assurance. Hope that clarifies things. Please let us know if you have any more questions!Re: Is the activation of SharePoint Server Subscription Edition is the same as 2019
Hi najwan, thanks for asking. SharePoint Server Subscription Edition is only available through Software Assurance (sometimes referred to as L/SA or SA). SharePoint Server 2019 continues to be available through either perpetual licenses (L) or Software Assurance (L/SA or SA).4.3KViews2likes2CommentsRe: SharePoint SE SQL compatibility issue
Hi paulororke, thanks for the additional updates. SharePoint is looking at the version number reported by the ProductVersion server property, which is what's displayed in the "Version" field of the server properties page for that server instance. You can also get this value by running this SQL statement: SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('ProductVersion') What you're seeing is interesting and potentially a side effect of having both GDR updates (which only contains security fixes) and CU updates (which contains security fixes but also includes bug fixes and feature improvements) for SQL Server installed. This may be because this particular GDR patch was released after CU5. The solution may be to install a CU patch that was released after that GDR patch. Per Latest updates for SQL Server - SQL Server | Microsoft Docs, the latest CU is CU15 (KB5008996 - Cumulative Update 15 for SQL Server 2019). Give CU15 a try and let us know if you're still having issues.4.6KViews0likes2CommentsRe: SharePoint SE SQL compatibility issue
Hi paulororke, note the additional requirement in that article about needing to at least be on Cumulative Update 5 (CU5) of SQL Server 2019. Once you update SQL Server 2019 to CU5 or later, you should be able to proceed. SharePoint Server Subscription Edition supports the following database versions: A Standard or Enterprise Edition of SQL Server for Windows that supports database compatibility level 150. This includes SQL Server 2019 Cumulative Update 5 (CU5) or later and any future version of SQL Server for Windows that supports database compatibility level 150. For more information about database compatibility levels, see Compatibility Certification and ALTER DATABASE (Transact-SQL) Compatibility Level. Microsoft Azure SQL Managed Instance (MI). This is only supported if your SharePoint Server farm is hosted in Microsoft Azure. For more information, see Deploy Azure SQL Managed Instance with SharePoint Servers 2016 and 2019.4.3KViews0likes4CommentsRe: Licensing and pricing differences upgrading from SharePoint 2013 to SPSE
Hi mbalcarek, SharePoint Server Subscription Edition uses subscriptions that are implemented through Software Assurance. There were no price changes to Software Assurance with the release of SharePoint Server Subscription Edition. However, if you're not currently using Software Assurance then you'll want to work with your Microsoft account manager or licensing specialist to better understand your options. (For example, certain Microsoft 365 licenses give you CAL equivalency rights to SharePoint Server for as long as the M365 license is active, including SharePoint Server Subscription Edition.)
