Users have SharePoint permissions they shouldn’t have

$
0
0

Hello,

I noticed that a user has access full control on a site but is not in the standard SharePoint group.  The user is in a read only group, but SharePoint also shows that the user has full control.  Like the following:

The following factors also affect the level of access for domain\user
Allow Manage Permissions 
Create and change permission levels on the Web site and assign permissions to users and groups.
Allow View Web Analytics Data 
View reports on Web site usage.
Allow Create Subsites
Create subsites such as team sites, Meeting Workspace sites, and so on

However, I went to Central Admin and went to the user policy on the web application that this user as full control over, but I did not find the account.  There are no Active Directory groups used for user policies either on the web application, so I don't know where this user could have been applied to. The user is not a farm admin nor site collection admin either.

Can you help?

If Site Collection looks 2010 can we do the upgrade or visual upgrade 2013?

$

we just built out a test environment, but the problem is the first site collection looks like the person choose 2010 in stead of 2013 ( it is an option to choose either 2010 or 2013 when you create a site collection, they choose 2010)  .. I was wondering if we could or can safely  do a visual upgrade to get it to reflect 2013?

SQL Svr 2012 / SharePoint 2013 "Install-SPRSService is not recognized..."

$

Greetings --

I'm having a heck of a time trying to get Reporting Services integrated with SharePoint 2013.  The end result is that no matter what I try, I keep getting the "The term 'Install-SPRSService' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet" error which thereby prevents me from finalizing the integration with SP 2013.

Following is a description of my lab + the steps I've followed to try to resolve:

In a virtual environment with 3 machines, I have one set as the Domain Controller, one with SQL Server 2012 installed (no reporting services), one with SharePoint Server 2013.

The domain is working fine... no problems there.  SQL Server 2012 is working fine... I can connect to it locally and remotely, execute commands, etc.

On the SharePoint 2013 machine, I have tried two ways... 1) install SharePoint 2013 first, then install SQL Server requirements... 2) install SQL Server requirements first, then SharePoint 2013.

In both methods, I am installing both "Reporting Services - SharePoint" and "Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint Products" on the same machine as SharePoint Server 2013.

My understanding was that when SP is installed first, the SQL Server installation should auto-register the necessary components (meaning running Install-SPRSService and ServiceProxy are not required). However, in this scenario, this doesn't appear to have happened.  The service does not appear at all within SharePoint.  Attempting to run "Install-SPRSService" fails with the "not recognized" error.

In the second scenario (Installing SQL Server components first, then SharePoint second), it is my understanding that the "Install-SPRSService and Install-SPRSServiceProxy" must be run manually. With both SQL Server components and SharePoint 2013 successfully installed, running "Install-SPRSService" fails with the "not recognized" error.

I would also like to point out that I am executing the Install command from the "SharePoint 2013 Mangement Shell" (right clicking and running as Administrator). 

Any suggestions or nuggets-of-wisdom would be GREATLY appreciated!

Hello Experts,

I have a 6 server farm setup in which I need to enable the Sharepoint 2013 BI features, and I need some clarification  as follows.

  1. When installing reporting services for SharePoint add-in, should it be installed on all servers(application and wfes)
  2. When installing powerpivot for SharePoint should it be installed on all servers(application and wfes)
  3. What other add-on should I consider to install.

How to migrate data of library level columns in the new SharePoint 2013 Farm

$

0

Hello,

I've a SharePoint 2010 Farm where I've to copy the content (different lists/libraries/sub-sites) to SharePoint 2013. In 2013, I have content types in the hub. During migration, I want to apply new Enterprise level Content types in those 2010 farm's libraries. Those libraries have default "Document" content type with additional library level columns.

If I migrate these libraries in the new farm and apply the new Content Type in them, what will happen to those library level columns? I understand that data will be there since the Document will be the 2nd content type, but when users View/Edit properties of the document, they won't see those columns. What's the best way of doing this migration?

Thanks,

Ashish

I switched to excel services from office web app, and i want to revert my changes. remove-spwopisupressionSetting doesnt work!

I originally had excel web app working on prem, but since it didn't support powerview I tried my luck with excel services.

I switched to excel services by using the new-SPWOPISuppressionSetting cmdlet.

I figured to return to excel web app, I would just use the remove-SPWOPISupressionSetting cmdlet, but I removed the suppression setting and even reboot the server and it's still using excel services!

What do I have to do at this point, reinstall office web app completely? Its still working for word and powerpoint, why didn't it take back over for excel? Any tips?

Thanks

AD Group not available in Webparts audience targeting property

$
0
0

hello @all,

i have a problem with an AD group which should be available for selection in a Webparts audience targeting property field.

The AD group was created 2 days ago, so it should not be a problem with caching.

group type: security
group scope: universal

The AD group is available in the permission selection, for example site permission, but it is not available in the audience targeting selection field.

I also did a Full Profile Sync Import, twice, with no success.

A workaround is to create a Sharepoint Group, add the AD group to the SP group and use the SP Group for the audience targeting. It´s a workaround but not really the prefered way, because the audience targeting works with other AD groups.

Maybe someone has a hint for me.

thx in Advance


SharePoint 2013: Information Rights Management (IRM) Log Errors

Hi, I have been frequently seeing Event ID Errors 5823 and 5819 for Information Rights Management appearing in my logs. Through the ULS logs I have been able to track this down and reproduce the error by saving a password encrypted Office document into SharePoint. What I don't understand is why I am seeing these errors when I do not have IRM configured.  It is set to ‘Do not use IRM on this server’ in CA.  Can anyone explain what is  going on under the hood?  I know I can ignore them but is there any way I can stop these errors being generated?

Thanks

Approval Workflow - How to stop Approval Process after one Approve?

$

I currently have a approval workflow for announcements. There are two approvers assigned to the workflow with the serial setting. How do I end the approval work process after one of the two persons approve? Currently, if one person approves, I have a "In Progress" status under the status column.

Here is the text-based editor view of my workflow:

f Current Item:Body not equals Current Item:PriorBody

Start Approval process on Current Item with User1; User2

Else if Current Item:PriorWorkflow equals Approved

Set workflow status to Approved

If Current Item:PriorWorkflow equals Rejected

Set workflow status to Rejected

Any tips are welcomed. I have found that Nintex released a workflow that addresses this, but I would like to work around that if possible.

Dist. Cache - account

$

0

it's killing me... Was running the Service on the Farm account - then the health analyzer gave an error...fair enough...

Stopped the service  using -graceful on both servers... 

changed  the account with this powershell:  

$farm = Get-SPFarm
$cacheService = $farm.Services | where {$_.Name -eq “AppFabricCachingService”}
$accnt = Get-SPManagedAccount -Identity <domain\user>
$cacheService.ProcessIdentity.CurrentIdentityType = “SpecificUser”
$cacheService.ProcessIdentity.ManagedAccount = $accnt
$cacheService.ProcessIdentity.Update()
$cacheService.ProcessIdentity.Deploy()

now the Dist. Cache has this: 

Can't start the service through CA on the App Server  - in the Windows services the "AppFabric Caching Service" it has the status disabled. 

- in the CA--> "services on server"  it has status stopped 

On the WFE - in windows service it has no status (not running - setting is "automatic") - but in the CA-> service on server it has status started?!?!

Only thing done is the change  user account .....how do I get this Dist. cache  "up and running" on both the servers ?

Limitations of SAML claims based authentication in SharePoint 2013 ?

$

0

The following page : https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh706161%28v=office.14%29.aspx mentions that these features do not work with SAML claims authentication in SharePoint 2010:

Search Alerts
SharePoint Server 2010 Explorer View
Claims to Windows Token Service (C2WTS)
InfoPath Forms Services
Search crawling

I could not find any documentation regarding this on SharePoint 2013. Does anyone know if all of these limitations still apply for SAML claims authentication in SharePoint 2013 ?

Thanks,

Mario

SharePoint users access denied on ADFS

$

Hi

I need a solution or an explanation to confirm my assumptions of ADFS. 

With a new and existing SharePoint 2013 environments, I installed ADFS with these 2 guides twice: 

http://habaneroconsulting.com/insights/deploying-adfs3-for-sharepoint-2013-in-a-perimeter-network#.VAWIE_ldXAS
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh305235.aspx

I have arrived at the same outcome twice, where I am with 2 separate users(according to SP) with different permissions and MySites.

My question would be, how do I achieve a sort of SSO solution where the user is treated as one without using Move-SPUser.

If all of the above is not possible, would I adjust all web apps to use ADFS and use Move-SPUser to correct permissions? Any other gotchas?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

SharePoint 2013 Host Named site collections issues

$

Hello all,

I need to create a SharePoint site collection with a user friendly url ( not with the server name) and publish it for end users for use. I've tried the Host Named site collections as described in this post, but it does not seem to work. I'm working on a SharePoint farm with multiple servers. I would like to give a friendly URL to end users and not the classic ugly url.

Any suggestions or step-by-step articles are much welcomed !

Thank you
