Microsoft Sync Framework and Windows Server 2012 - windows-server-2012

I am needing to move an application to a different server. This application uses Microsoft Sync Framework. I have looked over the FAQ and forums on the Microsoft site, and have not found a decent answer to my question.
Does Microsoft Sync Framework run on Windows Server 2012? Whatever the answer could you provide a website/documentation to help back up your answer.
Thank you

it should run on Windows Server 2012. I can't give you any link as it's based on my own experience. Likewise, don't expect to hear back from the product group as they have been inactive for a couple of years already.

Setting up a sharepoint site for remote connection

I have been tasked with setting up a SharePoint 2013 site being a straight MVC developer has me scrambling to figure out how to implement a solution that works for everyone involved.
We have a server with SharePoint on it and visual stuido however RDC only has 2 connections (company will not pay for more connections, tried that route) and we have the potential for 8 developers to be logged in at once.
our local machine setup is windows 8.1 with visual studio 2013 on it.
I read somewhere you can do remote connections to SharePoint but have no clue how to set that up or if it's even possible for use.
if anyone can help point me in a direction that would be great.
If you are strictly developing Apps you can develop remotely and this TechNet covers the step-by-step for it (configure the server and infrastructure for Apps, create a developer site and give your Devs the required permissions).
If you want to develop components that use the server side Object model (Microsoft.SharePoint.dll) you MUST do so from a SharePoint server.
You can try to copy the DLL over to your dev machine, and you can successfully build. With this, though, you will lose many of Visual Studio's integrations and will not be able to deploy or debug from Visual Studio

Missing prerequisites in Visual Studio 2012 for sharepoint 2013 development

I am following the Microsoft tutorial for creating my first sharepoint 2013 app.
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp142379.aspx )
I have installed on a windows 2008 R2 Server Sharepoint 2013 RTM, done all the farm config stuff RTM, and installed all of Visual Studio 2012 ultimate and update 1 and restarted the server.
I have also followed the instructions for "How to: Set up an on-premises development environment for apps for SharePoint" which is at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp179923.aspx (I have to do this as our dev environment has no internet access)
I have got to the point where running Visual Studio as an Administrator I have named it and chosen "sharepoint-hosted" and validated the server and clicked finish (Step 5).
Instead of getting the next step where I open the AppManifest.xml file I get a message saying "An error occurred whilst trying to load some required components, Please ensure the following prerequisite components are installed. Microsoft Web Developer Tools and Microsoft Exchange Web Services"
I have checked VS setup and web developer tools is definetely installed (the only option I have would be to remove it)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know Im a noob here (this is my first post) but I have googled this and searched stack exchange and found nothing that helps me.
Got it after a few trial and errors
With an offline install you have to download the Exchange Web Services component. I had downloaded "EwsManageApi" and installed that.
As the error message specifically refers to Exchange Web services, I looked at other versions and tried the older 1.1 and the 32 bit version, but they didn't work either, ** until ** I relised in my haste that I installed using the default settings (which is for the current user) and not for all users of the machine.
So installing EwsManagedApi32 for all users on a 64 bit server does the trick (for me)
I tried reinstalling the EWS Managed API for All Users, but that didn't solve it for me. In the end the solution was simple:
Just uninstall BOTH the EWS Managed API and the Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2012. After that reinstall ONLY the Office Developer Tools. This time the Web Platform Installer will ensure the correct EWS Managed API is also installed.
I also wrote a small blog about this problem:
https://leonzandman.com/2013/02/07/prerequisite-components-error-when-creating-a-visual-studio-2012-sharepoint-2013-app-project/
Answer for the year of 2014:
Install Microsoft Exchange Web Services Managed API 2.1 (the latest version I can find at this time).

Sharepoint 2010 Programming, How to start (Licencing)

I had a question: I wanted to begin programming in Sharepoint and I thought I could get some pointers in which of Sharepoint 2010 Foundation, Sharepoint 2010 Client... etc to download so I can learn to program for Sharepoint.
Thanks and Regards.
If you want to install Sharepoint 2010 foundation you should read this post:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ee554869(v=office.14).aspx
It worked properly to me
First of all, I suggest you to create your own SharePoint trial site on O365, so that you don't have to install on Premises. Then, do video tutorials from which you can learn quickly. After you are comfortable, you can install SharePoint on Premises.
At this date you are probably better off with SharePoint 2013 but it doesn't really matter.
Install SharePoint 2010 foundation or 2013 foundation from WPI (Web Platform Installer). Also install Visual Studio from WPI if you dont already have it.
Use a Server Os, running SharePoint in Windows 7 is possible but I wouldn't recommend it for beginners. You must have a 64-bit enterprise or ultimate version of win 7 in such case. If you insist on win7 here is the official documentation on how to do this. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/sharepoint/ee554869(v=office.14)
Youtube is your friend when it commes to how to startup with SharePoint development. Browse, Look, Read.
Good luck
If you would want to install SharePoint 2010, first install it in your virtual machine I would recommend to use first chapter of the book "Real World SharePoint 2010: Indispensable Experiences from 22 MVPs". It contains information about how to install SharePoint 2010.
Microsoft provides all related softwares like Windows Server, SharePoint Server, Sql Server free for trial purposes for a period of 180 days. The only thing where you have to invest is in a good hardware.
You may download evaluation version of sp2010 from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-sharepoint-server-2010
To create virtual machine you might want to download VMware Player which is a virtualization software package supplied free of charge by VMware, Inc.
If you don't want to spend time on installing SharePoint you may use something like cloudshare or microsofts own windows azure.
There are plenty of videos on YouTube on SharePoint which help you understand basics of SharePoint 2010 and to begin programming on SharePoint 2010.

Sharepoint Services beginner question

I want to start developing on share point. I already have experience with VS.NET 2005 and VS.NET 2008.
My question is, If I download Sharepoint Services 3.0 to my virtual server 2003 will I be able to start learning to develop in share pint?
Thanks
Yes, WSS (windows sharepoint services 3.0) can be installed to Windows Server 2003. You should also download the WSS Developer SDK:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=05E0DD12-8394-402B-8936-A07FE8AFAFFD&displaylang=en
Also the VSeWSS tools for VS2008 to deploy to SharePoint would also be useful for a beginner:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=b2c0b628-5cab-48c1-8cae-c34c1ccbdc0a&DisplayLang=en
There are more advanced tools like SPVisualDev and WSPBuilder on CodePlex but when the time comes to need them, you'll know.

Information about Sharepoint Server

I want to obtain some work experience information about sharepoint server.Shall I install trail version of Sharepoint on my machine ?If trail version is allowed ,where is the point do i really need to start?
SharePoint 2007 requires Windows Server, but SharePoint 2010 can be installed on Windows Vista and 7.
In my opinion, these 2 books are excellent as starting point:
Inside WSS
Inside MOSS
You can use the free version of Sharepoint. This is Windows SharePoint Services 2007 or SharePoint Foundation 2010. If you are new to SharePoint then you would be better off using the new 2010 version. This is still in beta but should be released really soon.
As pointed out by Timores, you can install this on Win 7 or Vista but if you plan to do development for customers then you should use a server platform like 2008 R2.
Assuming you are a complete newbie to SharePoint, you should spend quite a lot of time learning the platform and architecture. There are many great books and web sites you can refer to.
After that, the sky is the limit. It really depends what you want to do with the platform.
MOSS 2007 / SharePoint Enterprise 2010 is a very large, very complex beast. If you feel happy/bored with WSS/Foundation then give the full product a try.
For me, it's taken 2 years to feel confident with SharePoint development. I fought the beast for a year but now we have arrived at a comfortable standoff. :)
