Is there a way to change the name of the person who sends a library alert to other users. I am the Site Collection Admin and I see my email listed under.

Send me alerts by:

Can I have "Send me alerts by" to be send to another user and not myself.

Thanks & Regards,

Replacing OS of SharePoint Server 2013 SP1

Hello,

we have a SharePoint environment with 2 servers (1 SharePoint + 1 DB server) both running under Windows 2008R2 Server. In my OS replacement project I want first  to replace the SharePoint Server. Therefore I installed a new SharePoint 2013 on a Windows 2012 R2 Server and joined in the existing farm. I stopped the majority of services on the old SharePoint server and started them under the new SharePoint 2013 on Windows 2012 R2 Server.

My Questions:

  • We have many workflows. Are they automatically transferred to the new server when Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Workflow Timer Service is started?
  • How does the content get from IIS or InetPub to the new SharePoint server will  the web config files automatically copied?
    Are there any points to consider?
  • Thank you for your support

Add of a new server to a SharePoint farm

$

Hello

I am having an issue adding a new server to a SharePoint farm.

My current farm is hosted on servers running Windows Server 2008 R2 and I am trying to add new servers running Windows Server 2012 R2 in order to migrate all the services to the new servers.

I have installed SharePoint SP1 on the new server with the same CU as the one in the current servers.

When I try to add the new server to the farm, it is failing because the server is missing Project Server 2013.

When I try to install Project Server 2013, it is failing because the server seems to be missing SharePoint 2013. According to the documentation, SharePoint has to be installed and the server added to a farm before installing Project Server 2013.

Based on this, it seems that I am blocked and can not do more.

Do you know what I am missing?

Thanks in advance

Best regards

Yann

SharePoint Server 2019 - Is there any security concern to be careful around "Sync" option in SharePoint Document library?

$

Hello,

In my SharePoint Server 2019 farm, I do not have "OneDrive for Business" setup as well as we have different authentication method, and I have two questions around it:

  1. Is that mandatory to have "OneDrive for Business" setup configured in SharePoint Server to "Sync" documents ? I suppose no, but still confirmation would help as I could see that OneDrive client access "OneDrive for Business URL of SP Server 2019" internally.
  2. My another question is, Is there any security related/other concern around Syncing documents in PC, if downloading documents action is fine to have? Does it provide any extra access to user ? Which permission hides "Sync" option?

My objective is that "Sync" button should not trigger any other action/change on SharePoint Site Collection when user sync documents to PC, I suppose it would not, however confirmation would really help to be careful.

office online server

$

Hello, 

We are working on migrating from SP2013 to SP2016

Current Set up:

we have 2 domains . Domain A (Internal users only) , Domain B (Internal and external users). There is selective trust between these domains. Servers are created only in Domain A . 

There are two URL's for the web app , one with windows Authentication and other with ADFS (External Domain B users). We always use ADFS URL for everything. 

New SP 2016 architecture. 

we will be using default 4 min role servers. As stated above all the servers are in Domain A including office online server.

1. When I am creating the office online farm I was wondering if it is safe to include FQDN in URL as below . What is the best practice to create URL considering this name will show up in the URL when users open a word doc in a browser. 

New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalURL “http://<FQDN of the server> -ExternalUrl“https://<FQDN of the server>” -CertificateName <Friendly Name of the Certificate> -EditingEnabled

 2. As it is stated in the microsoft docs that "Office Online Server must reside in the same Active Directory forest as its users as well as any external data sources that you plan to access using Windows-based authentication."

 In SharePoint 2013 we heavily use excel services . Now when we migrate to SP2016, there is no excel service and only OOS server. Considering the statement above about servers and AD, will our external users logging in with ADFS be able to open these excel webparts ?

Thank you

After Mount-SPContentDatabase webapplication errors 404 Not Found

$

I have restored a content database from one farm to another. On new farm, I created a webapplication and then removed its content database from Central Administration. 

Using Mount-SPContentDatabase I have mounted the database to newly created webapplication.

When I browse to View Site Collections, I can see that database name is there which means mount databases was successful.

If I try to browse root site collection, it gives me HTTP 404 Not Found.

I used ULS logs already but cannot find anything helpful there.

What could I be possibly missing to make it work?

SharePoint restore changes url inside documents

$

Hi,

We do a back / restore of a sharepoint site collection to a new url using backup-spsite and restore-spsite.

The problem is that the URL inside documents (docx, doc, pptx, xls, xlsx) is changed automatically to the new url affecting the integrity of the documents. The timestamp of the modified documents are not changed. Is this an expected behavior of backup/restore? How to overcome this url change inside documents and conserve the old url?

Example:

url of the site before backup : https://mysites/sites/ABC/
url inside a document before backup : https://mysites/sites/ABC/mydocuments/doc1.docx

url of the site after restore : https://mysites/sites/DEF/
url inside a document after restore : https://mysites/sites/DEF/mydocuments/doc1.docx

Thanking you in advance.

Thanks in advance.
