We are upgrading SP 2013 to SP 2016. The SP 2013 environment is a 2-node farm, app and db server. The projected SP 2016 farm has a Web server, App Server and DB server.

I have been able to upgrade to SP 2016 - Single Server Farm (app and db server) using the Custom role.  The upgrade would not work until I put the App server into Custom role. 

Is it possible or recommended to upgrade by adding a Web server as the Front end server possibly with Dist Cache, the App server as the Application and CM) server with Search.  I don't see an upgrade document or path with this plan.  I will have little downtime allocated from the time I put the SP 2013 environment in read-only mode.

Is it possible to modify the single server farm into a distributed configuration later?  I don't want to increase the complexity of the upgrade to accommodate if it can be done later with lesser impact.

Thanks,

Sean

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Everyone,

I noticed the SharePoint Group "name" properties doesn't display any names and display totally blank. I updated the CU security update in April 2019 and it use to show correctly until last month. All sudden the names show blank. Any idea what is changed or how to display correctly the names under a sharepoint groups?

Please note that if I add singe user directly without adding a group, it displays correctly. The name property shows blank only when I add users in a group(also existing users shows blank under 'name')

Will you please help?

Thanks

Shridhar

Good day,

I am have a group of user who log on to our SharePoint 2016 Portal as System Account, as a result these user cannot

start workflows. I know in some Blogs it is stated that when a user account shows up as a System Account it probably means that

user account was used when setting up SharePoint.However in my case i have a quite a number of users in this scenario and none of them where used in setting up SharePoint.

Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to resolve this.

Thank you.

Hi,

I've made some adjustments to the library we are using, but now users can't direct edit the items in the desktop. However, I can.

They see the following:

• Green locks on every document
• When they open a document its in read-only mode
• When they try to upload a new document they are asked for administrator rights.

Sceenshot: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6ochP.png

How do I fix this? So that every user is able again to edit and upload documents on the fly.

Thank you.

I am trying to help a school trim the items in their sub site's main calendar, because it is over the 5000 item limit, and users can no longer sync the calendar to Outlook to more easily manage events.

Below is the relevant snip from the PowerShell code I'm using to try to delete the items from SharePoint Online programmatically (identifying information replaced with bracketed descriptors):

$url = "https://[district domain].sharepoint.com/sites/[school name]"
$listName = "[Calendar Name]"

$ctx = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($url)
$ctx.Credentials = $creds

$web = $ctx.Web
$ctx.Load($web)
$ctx.ExecuteQuery()

$list = $web.Lists.GetByTitle($listName)
$ctx.Load($list)
$ctx.ExecuteQuery()

Write-Output ("List is: '" + $list.Title + "' with item count " + $list.ItemCount)

$caml = 
'<Query><Where><And><And><Gte><FieldRef Name="ID"></FieldRef><Value Type="Number">0</Value></Gte><Lt><FieldRef Name="ID"></FieldRef><Value Type="Number">2000</Value></Lt></And><Leq><FieldRef Name="Created" /><Value IncludeTimeValue="FALSE" Type="DateTime">2011-12-31</Value></Leq></And></Where></Query>'

$query = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.CamlQuery
$query.ViewXml = $caml

$items = $list.GetItems($query)
$ctx.Load($items)
$ctx.ExecuteQuery() # Error occurs at this statement

The output is:

List is: '[Calendar Name]' with item count 5376

Exception calling "ExecuteQuery" with "0" argument(s): "The attempted operation is prohibited because it exceeds the list 
view threshold enforced by the administrator."
At C:\Powershell\Sharepoint\Delete-List-Items-Older-Than.ps1:112 char:1+ $ctx.ExecuteQuery()+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ServerException

As for the CAML query itself:  For the first condition, I have tried FieldRef "MasterSeriesItemID" as well as "ID" (Settings -> Indexed Columns for the calendar lists "MasterSeriesItemID", but I saw code elsewhere using"ID" for the FieldRef of a SharePoint list).  I have tried removing the "Created" condition altogether, since I indexed that column after the list passed the list view threshold, and I'm not sure that SharePoint sees it as indexed, even though it now shows up in the list of indexed columns.

Even with only the condition that the ID / MasterSeriesItemID be between 0 and 2000, the code still fails with the same error.

My understanding is that the list view threshold can be avoided by querying an indexed column and filtering to <= 5000 items on that column.

Is there another FieldRef Name I should use for the query?  The original three indexed columns, according to SharePoint, were:

1. End Time
2. MasterSeriesItemID
3. Start Time (Automatically created)

I can't very well do this by hand in the web interface, when there are multiple schools with calendars over the limit, some by over 1000 items.  Unless the ID / MasterSeriesItemID is an auto-increment column starting at 0, and thus tracks closely with the Created date of the item, I'd prefer to use the Created date to do the trimming.

Thanks for any help.

Hi all,

I have recently configured the farm to be accessed via HTTPS.

When clients connect to their content using HTTPS, all is fine.

When connecting to a site collection using HTTP, the client is redirected to the HTTPS, and this also is fine.

However, and this is the reason why I'm writing this question, when the client connects to a subsite using HTTP, the server does not redirect to HTTPS, and the client is allowed to browse content entirely via HTTP.

I think this is due to a misconfiguration in the system which someone more expert than me may explain and answer with a solution.

I'd like the system still performing HTTP redirection to HTTPS even when clients connect directly to subsites or pages.

Here follows the details of my configuration:

In SharePoint, web application list, I've SharePoint -80 with HTTPS url https://myhost.mycompany.net. This web application originally had HTTP url http://myhost.mycompany.net and was extended with the HTTPS.

In SharePoint the AAM is configured as follows:

Internal URL	Zone	Public URL for Zone
http://myhost	Default	https://myhost.mycompany.net
https://myhost.mycompany.net	Default	https://myhost.mycompany.net
http://myhost.mycompany.net	Default	https://myhost.mycompany.net

In IIS, I have the following web sites, SharePoint - 80 and the SharePoint - 443 both running. The server certificate has been assigned only to SharePoint - 443.

Please tell me if you need more detail.

For the last few weeks we've been experiencing challenges with our scheduled full crawl of our Sharepoint 2013 site.

Crawl is set to begin at 1 AM on Saturday morning.  It will run for about 3 hours and then the server will just lock.  We are running Sharepoint on a 2012 R2 server with 24 GB of memory with 8 cores assigned to it. While the crawl is running, memory is usually pegged at 99/100% and memory at 50/55%.

SQL is also 2012 with similar specs just more memory.  SQL processor rarely goes above 65% during this process.

A reboot of the Sharepoint server will bring the server back and it resumes the crawl. After about 3 or 4 crashes it's fine for the week. Incrementals are working great.

Looking at the crawl history, I see latency running around 120-130 for incrementals and balloons to 300-400 on fulls.

We have roughly 840,000 files in the crawl store.  As I inherited this setup from someone else, there are some updates that need to be done to Sharepoint and SQL as well as some health analyzer issues (i.e. content databases too large).

I dont see any *clear* problems other than possibly the SQL server is bogged down with drive speeds but I would presume to see other problems if that were the case. 

All this said: help.  What should I be checking here? Really tired of spending my saturdays babysitting this server!

Hello,

I am posting to see if anyone can help me with PowerShell scripts to:

1. Get a report of all 2013 workflows in "Running" state across a web application and across a site collection.
2. to terminate all 2013 workflows in "running" state across a web application and a cross a site collection

The web/application and site collection should be a choice.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Hi Team, I am facing very weird situation.I have a 3 server farm (1 WFE + 1 APP + SQL DB,
Now, CA was hosted on APP server but from last 2 days we are getting the issue that only 1 server remains connected to the farm and this depends on the 
sequence of the Shut Down and Restart.

But even when APP was connected to farm, i was getting run time error for CA and after troubleshooting for 2 days, we decided to run Sharepoint Config Wizard which 
asked to first disconnect the server and re-connect the server to the farm. The same was followed but we are not able to connect it back to the farm.

On other hand to bring the CA back, we ran Config wizard on WFE and host the CA site there and now its working fine.

But we are still facing issue in connecting App server to the farm.
Steps performed :

1. Checked the permission on the sql for the account
2. Checked the TCP/IP Setting
3. Checked FireWall setting - its off
4. Not using any Alia
5. Tried through powershell, same error

Thank you !

All, I have a need to loop through some .html files in a site collection and parse out some matching text. Was wondering the best way/best practice for this, given the site collection has about 15,000 files I need to loop through. I was trying the below without success. Using SharePoint 2013 and 2016 on-premise currently.

In the .html files I'm looking to extract from the url on the line which as an example is as such:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url http://www.kmo.name/uploads/docs/tasks/1003333/01_MAP.pdf

I tried variations of this Powershell without success:

function Get-DocInventory([string]$siteUrl) {
$site = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite $siteUrl

$web = Get-SPWeb -Identity "https://kmo.us.name.com/Sites/orders/"

foreach ($list in $web.Lists) {
if ($list.BaseType -ne “DocumentLibrary”) {
continue
}

foreach ($item in $list.Items) {
$url = select-string -Pattern 'url=http://www.kmo.name/uploads/' -AllMatches | % { $_.Matches } | % { $_.Value }
$data = @{
 "Item URL" = $item.Url
 "Item Name" = $list.Name
 "HTML File" = $url
}
New-Object PSObject -Property $data
}

}
$web.Dispose();

$site.Dispose();
}

Hello,

I have checked following scenario:

Created "Classic Team Site Collection" with "Modern Subsite 1" where root site collection is a "Classic Team Site" and sub site is "Modern Team Sub Site", and I tried to disable the list and libraries experience with following power shell command at web level for ""Modern Team Sub Site":

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#Web Level

Add-PSSnapin microsoft.sharepoint.powershell -ea 0

$site = Get-SPWeb "weburl"

#Disable modern Lists and libraies at the Web Level.

$featureguid = new-object System.Guid "52E14B6F-B1BB-4969-B89B-C4FAA56745EF"

$site.Features.Add($featureguid, $true)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

which did not made list and libraries with classic UI, then I tried to change the list and library experience of "Modern TeamSub site" from the library settings by choosing "Classic Experience" against "List Experience" option, Although, it did not made the UI changed from the modern to classic for list and libraries in the sub site, meaning the change of "List and Libraries" experience is not working out at web level as well as at library level - Is that true ?

Is it so that in SharePoint Server 2019, we can only disable/enable modern/classic experience at site collection level only?

Best Regards,

The SP2013 in new server works only without friendly urls, due to the friendly urls seem that they have dissapeared and the system does not recognized them.

Do you know ant way to transfer the friendly URLs to the new server?

Thanks in advanced!
