Any SharePoint Client, User, or Developer need an SMTP server to send e-mails to Internal or External SharePoint site users from a Workflow, Alerts, Request Site Access, and/or Any custom Apps that use SharePoint Outgoing e-mail setting to send e-mails.
SharePoint cannot be configured to send e-mail over encrypted port to the e-mail service. And Office 365 and Gmail required an SMTP connection that supports TLS encryption 
.
Fortunately, Windows Server (2008-2012) supports an SMTP relay for Office 365 and Gmail by install a local SMTP Rely Server that supports an encrypted connection (over TCP Port 587) 
.
The Steps are easy and forward:
The following is the detailed steps:
Many SharePoint users asking “Can we hide Ribbon buttons for current login user (by his permissions) rather than show it as disabled button !?
The answer is YES. When user did not have contribute permissions (like Add Item, Edit Item …etc.), these buttons will be shown in the Ribbon, but not active (Disabled), so the Ribbon button will not be clickable as following:
In SharePoint 2010
In SharePoint 2013 / Online
So, to hide these buttons in easy and simple way, we will use an existing CSS class in SharePoint 2010, 2013, and Online version. The CSS class name is “.ms-cui-disabled”, and this CSS class is added to all disabled buttons in the Ribbon?!? So the idea is to override the behavior of this CSS class in Master Page and hide any button that use this CSS class.
It’s official, I’ve been nominated and accepted by Microsoft as a Partner Technology Solutions Professional (P-TSP) in Office 365 and SharePoint!
The Microsoft Partner Technology Solutions Professional Program (P-TSP) is a select group chosen from the Microsoft partner community, whose focus is to augment Microsoft’s internal Technology Specialist team. Our primary role is to communicate the value of Microsoft Solutions including SharePoint Server, Exchange Server, Microsoft Azure, System Center, Virtualization, and Office 365 to customers and to provide architectural guidance for Enterprise Integration solutions and upgrades. The objective of the program is to provide our years of client experience to deliver pre-sale activities and resources to empower customers and help them meet their solution, upgrade, and integration needs
I’m extremely excited to be considered among the elite in the Microsoft Partner Community, and I look forward to learning more about the program and helping businesses find value using Microsoft Office 365.
So I will help Microsoft with Technical Expertise in Presale meetings, create Proof of Concepts and holding presentations about Office 365
So feel free to invite Microsoft and ask for an P-TSP if you would like our company as well 🙂
Before install SQL server 2008 R2, we need to check the pre-install requisites:
Note: run Windows Updates to get latest updates after install and check all previous requirements.
When you try to install Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 on some Windows Server 2012 configurations, the Products Preparation Tool may be unable to correctly configure and install the required Windows Features for SharePoint. If this occurs, the tool will continuously try to configure and install the required features and then restart.
When this problem occurs, the Products Preparation Tool does not progress past the “Configuring Application Server Role, Web Server (IIS) Role” stage.
To work around this issue, use one of the following methods in this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2765260, in my case, i used Method 2 – offline method
Also, please to note that: Currently, Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 is not supported for installation on computers running the Windows Server 2012 R2 operating system. SharePoint Server 2013 with Service Pack 1 and SharePoint Foundation 2013 with Service Pack 1 will offer support for Windows Server 2012 R2.
for more information about SharePoint support for Windows Server 2012 R2, read the following articles:
SharePoint 2013 Support for Windows Server 2012 R2
Microsoft Support: SharePoint 2013 support for Windows Server 2012 R2
I Hope this useful for you,
Thanks.
