Hi,

I can get to know how many user are accessing the site based on the below script 
(get-spsite -webapplication http://mysharepoint.com -limit all).count
But my intention is need to know which user has accessed or accessing to the particular site. Please give solution, if you know.

Thanks

Hello,

since April we have a strange error that occurs on our Sharepoint system.

Most of the time, everyone can log in fine. But sometimes some users are suddenly logged in as a wrong user.

An example: UserABC starts the Sharepoint-Website. After opening it and accessing it via our Active Directory (the users are logged in automatically), the userABC  suddenly is logged in as user xyz and also has all the rights of user xyz, therefore he can see all projects and all websites this user is allowed to see, which is big security flaw. After logging out and logging in again the user again has the correct credentials.

The log shows the following entries during the time the userABC logged in:

w3wp.exe (0x55C4)    0x3118    SharePoint Foundation    Logging Correlation Data    xmnv    Medium    Name=Request (OPTIONS:https://xxx/)    
w3wp.exe (0x55C4)    0x3118    SharePoint Foundation    Authentication Authorization    agb9s    Medium    Non-OAuth request. IsAuthenticated=True, UserIdentityName=0#.w|domain\userXYZ, ClaimsCount=30    d760019d-d4bd-f018-b62b-b6198a72ed7b  

userXYZ did not log in during the time userABC got his credentials. The error occurred for the first time in April 2015, after we installed the Windows Server Updates (for Windows Server 2008 R2). Also we did install the Sharepoint SP1 from 2014. Also it looks like the error only occurs for users that use Internet Explorer (but I'm not totally sure of that, this might also be a coincidence). First we thought that this might be a problem with our Reverse Proxy, but since it didn't happen before, I don't really think that the Reverse Proxy is the problem.

This problems sounds similar to ours: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/56a3aaae-14c5-40dd-b87b-23c046f75980/sharepoint-2013-random-authentication-issue-where-users-are-suddenly-anonymous?forum=sharepointadmin

Someone wrote there that deactivating the Distributed Cache solved the problem. We did try that, but sadly it did not work as well. Do you have any other idea what we could do?

I've a problem with access to every $site.RootWeb.Lists over powershell remoting.
When I try this I'm getting the following error:

Exception calling "Add" with "3" argument(s): "Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))"

Full command:

$site = Get-SPSite http://mysite
$site.RootWeb.Lists
The following exception occurred while trying to enumerate the collection: "Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT:0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))".
At line:1 char:1
+ $site.RootWeb.Lists
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [], ExtendedTypeSystemException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ExceptionInGetEnumerator

When I run powershell on the sharepoint server under the user which I also use for remoting (run as) everything works correct. 
When I use the account which was used to install the farm over remoting then its also working.

The which is used for remoting is farm admin and site collection admin. When I login over the UI I can also access all stuff (including Lists).

Any ideas where I've to search the error?

Edit:

Hello,

On a SharePoint 2013 Enterprise version, 15.0.4649.1000, error 6398: Unexpected exception in FeedCacheService.IsRepopulationNeeded: Connection to the server terminated

I have cleared out the cache and upgraded and configured the AppFabric, but this error still occurs.

Is there anything else that I can do prevent this error from occurring?

Thanks

Hi,

I got a very strange situation in my SP farm. I have two index partitions on two WFE servers, each has Index Partition 0 and 1. On one of them, starting yesterday a very huge file grew over 30GB in the Index Partition 0 - Journal folder. I found the same file in other Journal folder, most of them with less than 100MB.

Anyone has insight on this kind of behavior? Thanks in advance!

hi,

I have created Site Column say "mycolumn" in my Content Type Hub and associated a content type -say myCT - and this content type is published and ran the 2 timer jobs.Though the content type is visible in subscriber site collection,the column "mycolumn" is not visible in Subscriber Site Collection. am surprised and not able to understand why its not visible in my subscriber site's site columns gallery.This is happening on my Production Environment.In my staging environment this works perfectly.

Hi,

I am having issue with alerts. I received alerts from all web applications except one. Searching on the web, some suggested to find out from the SQL content database and I got the records sitting on the eventcache table -

SELECT * FROM timerlock WITH (nolock)

SELECT * FROM eventcache WITH (nolock) WHERE EventData is not null

I restarted the SP server which the timerlock table mentioned.

One observation - the record on the timerlock is having a future date / time ( next day ). Not sure if that's the issue and no idea how to reset it...

Greatly appreciate with any help!

Regards,

Edwin

Dears,

I have SharePoint 2013 SharePoint Farm with SQL 2012 as back end database. I have configured the SSRS on the farm. The Reports are displayed perfectly in browser but when i try to open the report in Report builder, I get the error: "The remote server returned an error (403) Forbidden".

Nothing is recorded in event viewer or ULS logs for this.

Any ideas how can I overcome this error?

Thanks,

Ok, this has taken me ages to work out what was causing the problem... yet i'm unable to resolve as the problem shouldn't exist...

Setup

Windows Server 2012 domain, sharepoint 2013 foundation on virtual server. windows 7 and 8 machines. Users are configured with the UPN logon as there email address.

sharepoint setup with default access address of external fqdn sharepoint.domain.co.uk and this works when working with the internal network on a domain computer.

I can also access sharepoint with no problems at all from a NON domain computer outside the network. and the site is added to the trusted zone too...

I have a simple GPO to added the sharepoint site to the trusted zone of the domain computers and make it the default home page. and as mentioned before all the domain pcs work fine, and autologon to sharepoint (since its added to the trusted zone to pass windows logon credentials).

The Problem

However, we have a couple of laptops in the business for the boss etc to work from home. when they are on the internal domain network all works fine. but if they take there machine home and try to access sharepoint they just get "Page cannot be displayed". its not DNS as this resolves ok. I thought it was to do with it needing to be ssl, do I went through the process of getting an ssl certificate, and reconfiguring sharepoint for both http and https. again this works fine internally, and externally from a NON-Domain computer. but again the domain pc outside the company just displays the same "page cannot be displayed" error...

Weirdly though, because I have both http and https setup but changed the home page and trusted sites zone to https I thought I would try sharepoint from http and it works... i then removed the site from the trusted zone and the external machines work fine again... but this is NO good as each time you go to the sharepoint site it asks for credentials which is a massive pain for internal users and have complained no end if it doesn't auto log them in....

PLEASE HELP!!!! i have no idea what the hell is causing this.... Microsoft - is this a bug!!!! seems like!!!!!?????

Hello,

How to insert Registered Trade Mark (R) for a link title in a SharePoint 2013 content query webpart on a page?  I am using a content query webpart displaying a list links used for menus.  I using the Notes; to display the link title.  However, the Notes field does not display the ® as a capital R with a circle around.  What appears is "®".  How can I change the content query web part to use the field Description of the URL in the list.  Maybe this will show the Registered Trademark symbol correct?

Thanks,

Paul

In the Web Applications Management page, the User Policy button is grayed out when the Central Administration application is selected, but this is not the case for any other web application.

The account used to log in is a member of the Farm Administrators group.

I have researched the problem and tried the following solutions:

1. Start "SharePoint 2013 Central Administration" from the start menu

2. Run Internet Explorer as Administrator (then go to Central Administration)

3. Disable UAC

None of these have fixed the problem. Does anyone know how to fix it?

SharePoint 2013

Can anyone tell me we can find the My Links (Quick Links) so that we can restore them for some of our users.  For some reason they have all been removed.

We are talking about restoring for 2 individuals and not for all. We have granular backups of the farm available.

(posted this on the 2010 site by mistake and they stated restoring from the SSP, which does not exist in 2013)

I tried  with adding a wsp solution using add-spsolution command, but it failed to add the wsp into the solution store. I am getting the error An object in the SharePoint administrative framework, "SPSolutionLanguagePack Name=0 Parent=SPSolution Name=myeventreceiver.wsp", depends on other objects which do not exist.  Ensure that all of the objects 
dependencies are created and retry this operation.
myeventreceiver.wsp:

I have a Newsfeed that works fine except that it doesn't email the mentioned users with notifications. Notifications also do not work for personal feeds. However, all other alerts and emails are being sent fine.

Any idea why this would be?
