SharePoint 2013 check permissions unable to find permission level for AD user

$
0
0

In our environment for SharePoint AD groups are associated with individual AD members and AD group is given access to SharePoint group with a permission level. When I want to check for a user who are part on the AD group using check permission to find their SharePoint permission level it returns "none", but when I check what permission level the AD group has check permission returns correct permission level.

I am not sure if this is the right behavior for SharePoint 2013 not to display individual AD user permission using check permission, business users have to request IT every time they have to find a user permission level.

been struggling with the dist. cache and appfabric - but all is up and running now

But still I don't see any newsfeed - when I try to add a status message from the Portal I get this: 

The operation failed because an internal error occurred. Internal type name: Microsoft.Office.Server.Microfeed.MicrofeedException. Internal error code 14

that's according to thishttp://www.dotnetspark.com/kb/6127-internal-error-codes-sharepoint-2013-microfeed.aspx

Invalid_Content_Null_Or_Empty  

- but how do I resolve this error?  

- the UPSA - is this causing this error or?

The newsfeed isn't showing on the Mysite WebApplication as well...

In the event log I see 

The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.LMTRepopulationJob (ID eeb8b69ff0426) threw an exception. More information is included below.

Unexpected exception in FeedCacheService.IsRepopulationNeeded: Cache cluster is down, restart the cache cluster and Retry.

but a Get-Cachehost says both is UP ?  and the caching services is running - so what's going on?

AntiCSRF

I have been tasked with eliminating the CSRF exposure in our SharePoint 2013 farm.  I have been reading several blogs about this issue and it seems a rather complicated procedure.  I would love to know if anyone had implemented any antiCSRF procedures on SharePoint.  I have read a few blogs about SharePoint being antiCSRF out of the box but have yet to read the definitive article stating that.  Any help with this would really be appreciated.

Network account - Having "user must change password at nex logon checked" - does not allow user to login

Hi,

We have several SharePoint 2013 sites which, when the option called "User must change password at next logon" is checked on a user's Active Directory account, the user is not allowed to login to the SharePoint site. Is this something that needs to be changed on the SharePoint end to resolve?

thanks,

Sherazad.

Hi everyone,

I'm not sure whether some People Picker properties are workable in SharePoint 2013. I've tried with the following command in my SharePoint 2013 environment but can't seem to make it work so far.

stsadm -o setproperty -url http://contoso.com -pn peoplepicker-searchadcustomfilter -pv "(&(objectCategory=Person)(objectClass=User)(memberOf=OU=Sales,DC=contoso,DC=com))"

I've also tried with the following command:

stsadm -o setsiteuseraccountdirectorypath -path "OU=Sales,DC=contoso,DC=com" –url http://contoso.com

Your suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
-T.s

Deploying OWAS in large enterprise

$

0

Hi,

We are planning to install OWAS 2013 in a large enterprise. It is going to be an installation working with a custom WOPI Client only (no SharePoint)

There will be a lot of users using this service(viewing and editing Word/Excel/PowerPoint). I am struggeling to find any good resources on how to setup and configure OWAS in a large enterprise.

We currently have a load balancer in place and full install OWAS server farm of 3 servers at the moment for a small number of users, but when we exit the pilot phase there will be thousands of users.

I am asking in this forum since OWAS is mostly used with Sharepoint and hopefully someone has some experience on this or can somehow point me in the right direction. I can find very little information about the inner workings of OWAS and how to deploy and optimize such a solution.

SharePoint 2013 profile pictures not showing in web applications

Hi all, 

I have a strange issue. In our environment we have 2 web applications with team site templates:

  1. The first web application (https://abc.com), user's profile photo is displayed as Newsfeed. When I right click on properties and the user's profile photo it it shows the following URL:http://contoso:2222/user%20photos/Profile@20Pictures/<accountName>  (My Site)


  2. Second web application (https://def.com), when user's profile photo shows default generic image that SharePoint provides and when I right click on properties and the user's profile photo it it shows the following URL: 
    https://def.com/_layouts/15/userphoto.aspx?size=S&accountname=<accountName>%40.com&url=http://contoso:2222/user%20photos/Profile@20Pictures/<accountName>

    Both the web applications are associated with same User Profile Sync service. 

referred to several sites that talk about this issue. 
http://www.wictorwilen.se/sharepoint-2013-enabling-cross-domain-profile-pictures (used PowerShell script but did not work for me)

http://sharepointadam.com/2010/11/18/import-user-profile-photos-from-active-directory-into-sharepoint-2010/ 

Any steps that we missed. It looks MySite is not configured properly for 2nd web application but 1st web application shows all the photos with same MySite configuration.  

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance.

Calculated column #NULL! error in sharepoint list

$

Hello,

I have a calculated column that sums up the following: =SUM([2013 and prior], [January 2014], [February 2014], [March 2014], [April 2014], [May 2014], [June 2014], [July 2014], [August 2014], [September 2014], [October 2014], [November 2014], [December 2014], [January 2015], [February 2015], [March 2015], [April 2015])

I receive the #NULL! error because some of the cells are blank in some of the fields.  Is there an easy fix to this problem?  Why would an error generate for a blank cell?  Shouldn't a formula like this always default to ignoring blank cells?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Hello -

I'm trying to edit a page and add a web part that would include certain columns from a list.    I'm sure this is simple, but I can't seem to find the right web part to use.   Any suggestions?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found that I can add the entire list from the Apps Category.    Now, how can I limit the columns for the list that show up in the web part?



2nd EDIT:   I figured it out.  I modified the web part and it allowed me to select a custom view.
