Hi,
we have two SharePoint farms. We add AD groups to SharePoint groups.
in one farm the AD Group's displayname shows the domain prefix (domain\group) while the other farm does not display the domain prefix infront of the AD group name.
Does anyone have an idea why this might happen?
Thanks
Sven
Hi,
When I'm trying to open the Office365 SharePoint site (" https://domain.sharepoint.com") in SPD2013, giving the error "You do not have permission to open this website in Sharepoint Designer". I can open (" http://domain-my.sharepoint.com") in Sharepoint Designer 2013. I freshly installed SPD2013. Please help me on this.
Thank You

Recently manager of few users in AD have been changed . But this change is not reflecting in user profile. I have done full sync as well but no luck.
Please help.
I am trying to configure ADFS trusted identity provider for SharePoint webapp. My goal is
1. In the login screen a user with UPN xyzname@domain.com should be able to enter xyzname as user and password to login.
2. when user logs in to the site their name should appear on the top right (logged in name) side of the screen. Usually email appears when email is used for claims.
3. when I search for a user in the site permissions I only want to see one option instead of email, UPN, etc,,,
So we created only UPN as LDAP attribute like screen below . Can I use below power shell to create trusted identity provider . I am using only one claim. Does it work that way ?
$cert = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2("D:\ADFS\Certs\ADFSSign.cer")Thank you

Hi there I am having an interesting sharepoint problem that hopefully someone else has come across.
Environment: Outlook 2013, outlook 2016. Sharepoint 2013
problem: The sharepoint calendar and the sharepoint calendar connected to outlook show different results. Every day there are one or two (mostly recurring, or recurring exceptions) not shown on the outlook copy of the calendar.
When i delete and re-add the calendar to outlook, I get a send receive error as follows:
"Task 'sharepoint' reported error (0x80004005) : 'Failed to copy one or mote items. for details see the log file.'
However I dont know where this "log" is located. I looked in %temp%/outlook logging but there are no files in there.
When i enable debugging from the options menu in outlook, i get a different send receive error:
Task 'SharePoint' reported error (0x8004010F) : 'The SharePoint List (XXXXXXXXXXXXXX) cannot be found. If the problem continues, contact the SharePoint site administrator. HTTP 404.'
But there are still no useful logs generated. Nothing to do with sharepoint and no error messages.
So i have two questions. Anyone ever seen this behaviour? I can find reference to a few things it might be, attachments on the list or weird characters. However the calendar items that are not copied (95% of them are) have no special characters and no attachments. They do seem to all be recurring events, however most of the items on the calendar are recurring events.
the second question is where is this mythical log file refereed to in the first screen shot error message? I think if i got access to that it might help me narrow down the problem.
This problem exists for everyone who tries to connect to this sharepoint calendar. They prefer using outlook because its quicker to update than sharepoint, but as the calendar is not copying everything, it cannot be trusted so they are forced to use the slower sharepoint route. yes they could use datasheet view or whatever however i would like them to stay in the calendar interface and just want to fix the outlook sync problem.
UPDATE: before posting this i tried to run the debugging mode again and got a new error screen:
and when i go look at that file, and click on the "errors" section i get:
For several pages.
Im going to go look up that error now as maybe it has more info. Any help appreciated.
Hi, I have 1 App and 2 WFE servers in SharePoint 2013 SP1 farm. And I want enable distributed cache service and on one WFE server when I ran "Add-SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance" but in central admin it stuck on "Error Starting". I even ran "Remove-SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance" but getting "cacheHostInfo is null".
Please guide me how to resolve this issue.
the SharePoint Foundation Web Application service is "missing" when I go to the list of Services on Server in Central Admin. It's only a small farm (1 app and 2 web server) with the service running on the web server.
It must actually be running because the existing SharePoint sites are running, but obviously something's not right.
i run:-
1) Install-SPService
2) psconfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures cmd
3)Install-SPFeature -AllExistingFeatures
but no success
thanks in advanced

We are migrating SharePoint 2013 On Premise Application Portal to SharePoint Online.
One of the lists has SharePoint 2010 Workflow and in the workflow step, it is accessing User Profile properties such as Offce, Department etc.
User Profile is Synchronized in SharePoint Online also. Do we need to change in the below workflow step ?
SQL database login for 'SharePoint2013_ConfigDB' on instance 'XXXX' failed. Additional error information from SQL Server is included below. Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'.
I added 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON' account under BCS but still getting above error in App Server. Please suggest.

After upgrading a SharePoint 2013 On-Prem farm from June 2017 CU level to the January 2018 CU level, I encountered the following exception(s) on step 9 of 10 of the first run of the Configuration Wizard:

Research suggested a few possibilities.
Some forum posts showed some people who encountered this type of error could get past it by opening SQL Management Studio, drilling down to the subscription settings service database > drilling into the security folder of that database > drilling further down to Users > finding and right-clicking the account that you're using to run the ConfigWiz in the list of users > Properties > Owned Schemas > select "db_owner" and click OK. But that didn't help me. I did it several times and ran into the exact same exceptions every time I ran psconfigUI.exe or psconfig.exe. Also, the permissions I added were stripped away every time I ran configwiz.
Two forum posts I found suggested this was related to SQL Always-On and/or Availability-Groups. I removed the subscription database from the AO AG and that didn't help either. Same exceptions. But I did not set it from full recovery mode to simple recovery mode like some suggested. So maybe I didn't go far enough with this.
Hi,
We accidentally removed one of the service accounts from some groups in Local Users and Groups in one App Server and re added it again. It is SP 2010. Selected 2013 by mistake.
But, some of the patches now are shown as missing in Central Admin as well as Config Wizard. Also, new patches are not being installed.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
We are maintaining SharePoint intranet site which was developed in SharePoint Server 2013 on premises, in our site architecture we have used 2 app servers, 2 wfe servers and 1 database server.
From few days on wards we are identifying our intranet site is loading slowly and especially search is very running very slow.
Please suggest in which area we need to focus to improve the site and search loading performance ?
Thanking You, Nagendra.
Hello,
We have a very large (650GB) SharePoint 2013 content database with a single site collection, that needs to be split into two in case we ever have to restore from backup.
Since there is so much data, I have tried:
1) restoring the ldf and mdf files and giving them new physical and logical names - and then attaching the database. With the idea of deleting about half of the data from each content database and shrinking the mdf files.
This works fine until I try to mount the content database - the mount will mount the content database, but will not show the new site collection. This is because the site collection has the same site id as the existing original site collection. If I unmount the original content DB, then I can access the new site collection and vice versa.
2) Backup-spsite and restore-spsite - although the backup works, the restore is extremely slow and fails after a few hours - I have tried a few times and it fails after restoring only about 10G. This is all on an Azure staging environment which has no load on it.
At this point I am left with:
3) following approach 1) but somehow manually updating the siteid in the database - I understand this is unsupported, but if it works, I might try it - especially since I have only 1 site collection - how would I do this? The site collection does have some sub-sites.
4) copying the data and metadata to a new site collection using a custom program or a 3rd party tool. This will take probably weeks to perform.
5) would splitting the content database into multiple physical files for the one content database alleviate the issue?
I am looking for suggestions. Thank you
Marcel
We have a very large content database (650GB) with a single site collection.
Recommendations are to keep content databases under 200GB in size, for backup and recovery purposes.
We use the SIMPLE recovery model and recovery would mean restoring the physical mdf and ldf files from last night's backup, and re-attaching the databases - with no roll forward. (This is acceptable in our case).
If I use SQL 'file groups' so that I have several physical files for the ONE content database I believe we can perform the restore of the files from Azure recovery vault without timing out.
Are there other reasons for keeping content databases small? Splitting the content database (single site collection) into two, after it has grown this large is difficult.
Am I safe to allow it to grow as long as I split the data into multiple physical files?
Thank you
Marcel
