In Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2013, an external content type against a WCF service could show the following error:
Unknown Error occurred. Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.
Reason? This issue occurs because the DLL version that’s returned form the server doesn’t match the one in SharePoint Designer 2013.
Solution? Replace the content of C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\spdesign.exe config file with the following code:
<?xml version="1.0" ?> <configuration> <startup> <requiredRuntime version="v2.0.50727" /> <supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727" /> </startup> <runtime> <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.BusinessData" publicKeyToken="71e9bce111e9429c" culture="neutral" /> <bindingRedirect oldVersion="16.0.0.0-65535.65535.65535.65535" newVersion="15.0.0.0"/> </dependentAssembly> </assemblyBinding> </runtime> </configuration>
When creating a WCF connection in SPD 2013, you may face the problem with the following error: “Cannot find any matching endpoint configuration”. The problem is service endpoint URL address.
If you are connecting to ASMX based web service, the “Service Endpoint URL” is the ASMX service url. For example, if the ASMX service is hosted at http://server/service.asmx then the values for “Service Metadata URL” and “Service Endpoint URL” are as follows:
Service Metadata URL – http://server/service.asmx?wsdl
Service Endpoint URL – http://server/service.asmx
1) Log into the admin center with the admin account.
2) Click the “Outlook” tab in the top panel to enter OWA (Outlook Web App).

4) Click recipients on the left navigation.
5) Click mailbox on the right panel and double-click the display name of the mailbox you want to edit.
6) Click email address on the left navigation.
7) Click add icon to add an email address for this account.
It seems that IMAP in Outlook 2013 is only getting worse, when will it get better and how to fix issues?
Some IMAP servers branch of all your folders from the Inbox folder. In that case, you’ll need to set the the “Root folder path” property in your account configuration.
Finding out whether or not this is required for you is quite easy. Select the Folder tab in Outlook, click on the button IMAP Folders and then click the Query button. If all folders start with a common name followed by a dot, then that first part is your root name.
To set the root folder path for your IMAP account:
Exchange online error: Sorry, we can’t get that information right now. Please try again later. If the problem continues, contact your helpdesk.

Unfortunately managed metadata navigation this doesn’t work for anonymous users of SharePoint 2013. The menu item and all children under it will not be visible, unless you define direct link:
I recently made some customization for SharePoint 2013 website. One of the requirement was to remove default Sign In link from the top of the master page. There is no options in Site Settings for such a thing, and the only was is to use CSS code or to the something easier:

=DATE(YEAR([Created]),1,1)
New column should be single text in order to use its value in views and filters, because date format is not supported.
