Got 3 WebApps total... one of them is MySite on the Farm

• mysite.contoso.com
• collaboration.contoso.com
• Intranet.contoso.com

We have several users that gets prompted for credentials when loading the intranet Portal (which contains elements from MySite)  - it works fine for most... 

Is there any requirements to the web.config in this scenario? 

We have a SharePoint 2013 Farm SQL 2012, Widnows Server 2012 , and yesterday suddenly I noticed that one of our doc libraries which using “group by” and “sort” in the default view, this particular view just duplicates the same category name with the same documents, when we remove the “group by” from the document view everything working fine without any duplication, please check the below screenshot for more clarification.

Can anyone explain why, when creating a new Datasheet list view in SharePoint 2013, it sometimes displays as the new QuickEdit view, and other times as the Access Web Datasheet view?

I manage a SharePoint 2013 farm that has several Site Collections and multiple Sites in each. I recently did a database migration from SharePoint 2010.

Now, on almost all of the lists in the various Site Collections when I create a new Datasheet view, it creates a QuickEdit view of the list. However, sometimes the Datasheet view displays as the Access Web Datasheet view (with the "A" icon in the upper left-hand corner).

What determines whether a newly created Datasheet view displays as the new SharePoint 2013 QuickEdit view, whereas other times it displays as an Access Web Datasheet?

I've searched the web over, and can't seem to find any information about how to manage this choice.

I was planning on providing screenshots, but my account needs to verified first.

Hi,
I'm have a feeling that there is a permission failure in SharePoint Online! At least haven't I found a solution for my discover, so please help me!

First of all, my goal is to set a permission to user TEST so it is possible for TEST to see and read some of the documents in a specific document library.
I manage that through sharing those specific documents but hare is the problem.

The user TEST can, with using the synchronization function, sync all the documents in the library, even these TEST don't have permission to see.
If I disable the function of synchronization for the site, those how has access to sync the documents are enable to do that, witch not is the goal they should still have the possibility to sync.

The permissions the user TEST have is 'Open' and 'View pages'. What I can understand is that are the permission Open how makes it possible to sync the documents, right?

So, how to do, to set a specific sync block for a group or user?

Hi,

we would like to make intranet organization SharePoint portal accessible as externally by AD users. this portal has a lots of secure documents contents(PHI) so security is major concern. we are planning to install SharePoint web front end in another different sub net (DMZ) to approach external portal. so what is best way to design architecture to overcome security concerns?

we are planning to install SharePoint web front end in DMZ network which will communicate to sql server which resides in internal network of organization. is it correct approach to address or any security risks? if not then what would be best way to address this issue and make our portal more secure?

Thanks,

Hi - after installing the DEC 14 CU for SP2013 I ran into the email bug which I resolved using the script below:

https://www.vioreliftode.com/index.php/sharepoint-incoming-e-mails-stuck-in-drop-folder/

The problem is I now want to reset the UserCodeMaximumLevel from 999999 to 0 and I have made a simple edit to the script - just changing the values around - see below - but it just won't work! Please help

Start-Transcript ('incoming email fix.txt');if ((Get-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -eq $null) {    Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" > $null;}$webapplications = Get-SPWebApplication;foreach($webapplication in $webapplications){    foreach($site in $webapplication.Sites)    {        if($site.Quota.UserCodeMaximumLevel -gt 0)        {            Write-Host $site.Url 'has UserCodeMaximumLevel of 300 => set UserCodeMaximumLevel to 0.';            try            {                $site.Quota.UserCodeMaximumLevel = 0;                Write-Host 'Sandbox quota set.';            }            catch            {                Write-Host 'Couldnt set UserCodeMaximumLevel to 0' $site.Url -foregroundcolor red;            }        }    }}Stop-Transcript;

The script runs but just outputs line after line of "Couldnt set UserCodeMaximumLevel to 0"

Would be great if I could fix this

Thanks

Hi All,

I have a problem, our SharePoint farm is very huge it's about 1 TB, if I want to take a regular farm backup by CM or PowerShell it's going to take for ever, is there any way to take a quick backup without effecting on the portal work.

Thanks,

A massive portal is being migrated and I am reviewing a log file which is listing A LOT of Warnings and Failed health rule stating missing Site Templates. The site collection/sites/subsites are coming from SharePoint 2010. There are quite a few custom solutions, some active, some not in the 2010 portal.

Do all of these solutions, whether activated or not need to be migrated over into the 2013 environment first before performing visual upgrade on the sites?

Something else that is confusing me, in the log file it is appending a # and a number at the end of each failure. For example:

Failed Health Rule Missing Site Templates:     - http://site/subsite - #1

Failed Health Rule Missing Site Templates:     - http://site/anothersubsite - #2

What are the numbers at the end?

Is there a detailed list I can find of which files are causing the visual upgrade issues exactly?

Thank you for your help, I greatly appreciate it!

After applying maintenance this weekend, the CreatePage.aspx behavior has changed>
Original behavior was to substitute "-" for spaces in the URL, bow %20 is substituted.
Looking in F12 Debug, I see the code is in function UpdateUrl()

suggestUrlValue += '-';

is changed to

suggestUrlValue += encodeURIComponent(currentChar);

Can I revert this behavior?

%20 causes and error and the user has to manually overtype the dash.

Hi,

Does anybody know if there is a way to track changes to list columns in SP2013? For example, if a column was deleted/renamed.

thanks,

I've been digging through these forums with no concrete luck, so now I'm just posting. Thanks all in advance for reading this.

We have a site collection (https://intranet.org/sitecollection) which uses its own content database (WSS_Content_SiteCollection)

It appears someone has uploaded content to the root site which has made SharePoint fall all over itself.  Trying to load the root site (url above) results in an error.  Correlating the error ID to the logs shows the database had issues due to the content somewhere in the site.  If you browse to any of the subsites (https://intranet.org/sitecollection/subsite) they all function swimmingly.

So my question for you all - what is the best means to recover the root site?  We can't access the Site Collection Administration GUI for this collection.  

We've run a script looking for large files and haven't come up with anything.  

We have backups of the site collection database, but retrieving them has been a complete pain.  That's a thread for the SQL forum I think.  However we will eventually figure out how to retrieve them.

Can we somehow re-create the root site, therefore allowing easy access to the sub-sites, and then re-add the root site data later?

Can we somehow re-create the site collection and bring the data over?  

Any thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.  We feel like rats running through a dark maze trying to figure this out.

i am working on an enterprise wiki site collection using SharePoint 2013. i have added 5 managed metadata required site columns and i link them to my term store. now when i try to add a new page i will get the following error:-

The SPListItem being updated was not retrieved with all taxonomy fields.

i found many articles which talks about similar issues, but none of them basically describe the steps to solve this. some solution suggest to increase the Resource Throttling, but in my case the "Resource throtelling " for my web application is set to 200, so i am sure this is not the problem cause.

other solution talks about adding a Note field to the custom metadata columns ? but i am not sure what this mean and how i can implement this ?

can anyone advice please, baring in mind that i have recently applied the SharePoint CU for September and i am using SP1?

Hi,

Hi

I recently upgraded a SP2010 farm to SP2013 and all looked okay. It turns out some users get prompted for credentials when they use 'save as' within any office product (and the last place they saved to was SharePoint). If they just cancel (x) out of the prompt they can then navigate to where they want to save the document to within SP and it saves as expected. We are getting the error at the bottom of the post in the log and this is linked to an AppFabric distributed cache issue (as mention byhttps://blog.imason.com/distributed-cache-errors-in-sharepoint-2013/). From what I have read this can cause slowness (due to extra automatic login attempts) or if using FBA repeated prompts. The users have no other issues and all works well if they use SP WFE to open and then save documents.

I have no AppFabric CU installed yet (the fix is to install CU4 or later) but my scenario is different. Has anyone experienced anything similar or got an opinion on whether the CU may help?

Thanks in advance

Phil

Hi, if I use DPM with SharePoint for item level restores can I also take SQL backups of the content databases? I assume that DPM and SQL would share the same backup chain and so this would be problematic. Is this true? How does DPM interact with the database files from a SQL perspective?

I want to have SQL backups of content databases so that I can restore them if we need to rebuild farm.

Could I have DPM protecting my AOAG instances but take SQL backups of a readonly secondary replica?

Thanks.

Hi,

I want to send documents from publishing site collection to the  record center site collection after setting information management policy settings in the document library.Also I provided Send To connection from Central Administration to my web application's record center. But I am facing the issue of UR is not a valid routing destination.

I have followed below links:

 1) Angler-wordpress

 2) MSDNBlog

Note: My prod.env. SharePoint 2013 is only accessible on a secure channel (SSL).When we configured from my test environment using http:// it successfully run and moved the document from site to the record center site.But since it involves the SSL, am unable to successfully configure this. 

Hi there - we are setting up a Provider hosted apps platform and I can't find any documentation about firewall configuration between the 2 platforms. Does anyone have any links? Does the end user need to connect to the Provider hosted apps platform or is all the comms between Provider hosted apps and SharePoint internal?

Any help much appreciated

Thanks

Hi

As of yesterday one server in a farm of five gives 'Trial has expired' when features like my sites and infopath are used. The trial still had over 100 days to run and I have now applied an enterprise key and that has not helped.

Has anyone seen this before or got any idea how to debug one WFE (there is nothing of interest in the logs / event view).

Thanks in advance
