Sharepoint-Office Web Apps Server error on New-SPWOPIBinding -All:$

Question

I am trying to bind my SharePoint 2013 to Office Web Apps Server.

The bind works with:

New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName MyOfficeWebAppsServer

but it doesn't with

New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName MyOfficeWebAppsServer.mydomain

MyOfficeWebAppsServer.mydomain.it and responds to

https://MyOfficeWebAppsServer.mydomain/hosting/discovery

Is there anyting I could to make it work with mydomain as well?

EDIT: I forgot the error:

WARNING: The server did not respond. Trying again (attempt 1 of 5).
WARNING: The server did not respond. Trying again (attempt 2 of 5).

Answer 1

How did you setup your web app farm? If you didn't use the FQDN that is why you can't connect over it. Also check the zone bindings when you bind to SharePoint and make sure you are pointing at the URL where you will access web app farm.

Answer 2

Add this switch at the end of your command -AllowHTTP. It worked for me.

Answer 3

I had the same issue where the binding worked fine for one environment and it gave error on the second.

Just verify that Excel service and Secure Store service is running on the environment. In my case Secure store service was not running on any server in the Farm. Once I started it on the same server where Excel service was running, the issue got resolved.

Answer 4

I installed 4 servers on my domain.

• First one is for Active directory named "ZARD.shemshal"
• Second one is SQL server 2014 named "SQL.ZARD.shemshal"
• Third one is for SharePoint 2019 named "Sharepoint.ZARD.shemshal"
• Last one is for office online named "Office.ZARD.shemshal".

Now SharePoint is connected to SQL server and everything is working fine. Also I setup and config the office online with no error. But when I try to run "New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName office -AllowHTTP" on sharepoint 2019 management shell, It bring this error : New-SPWOPIBinding : Login failed for user 'SQL\Administrator'. At line:1 char:2 +

 New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName office -AllowHTTP

    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidData: (Microsoft.Share...tNewWOPIBinding:SPCmdletNewWOPIBinding) [New-SPWOPIBindi
   ng], SqlException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPCmdletNewWOPIBinding

My domain is ZARD.shemshal and my admin user is ZARD\administrator. I don't know why it's trying to login with SQL\Administrator . Is there anyone know how I can fix this problem? Thanks in advance.
