Hi,

I have a SharePoint 2013 environment and I use AD security groups to assign tasks to groups of persons. This AD group has an email address in order to receive task notifications. 

This email address has been changed in AD. Now I want to update the internal userlist which can be found here:

http://<SiteCollectionUrl>/_catalogs/users/detail.aspx

In this list there is still the old emailaddress assigned to the AD group. I read that the Set-SPUser cmd can update information from AD. That is why I tried this:

$users = Get-SPUser -Web http://<SiteCollectionUrl>
foreach ($user in $users)
{
write-host $user
Set-SPUser -identity $user -SyncFromAD

}

It seems to work fine for users, but not for groups. The groups are those objects with the wrong email address.

I get this error message for groups:

Set-SPUser : Cannot get the full name or e-mail address of user
"c:0+.w|s-1-5-21-2600590685-3204133502-3760992323-11503".

The group has an email address in AD. 

What to do next?

Thanks

Hi, 

Even though Silverlight was downloaded and installed videos won't play on SharePoint Feeds. The screenshot shows the options given when a video is being posted. 



Any suggestions to get this feature up and running. It also doesn't work on the Office 365 SharePoint. 

Third party youtube players work but the built in one would not work. 

Thanks in advance, 

Hello All,

We would like to transfer about 2TB worth of data from SharePoint 2013 library to SharePoint Online. What is the best practice of doing this? When transferring data previously from network drive to SharePoint 2013, we mapped the specific SharePoint area to Windows Explorer, and used this location as destination and used a tool like Beyond Compare.

Our main use for SharePoint is a company portal which stores all users/groups files and folders (shared folders) for retrieval based on AD permission.

Our final goal is to remove SharePoint 2013 from our infrastructure and solely rely on SharePoint Online.

Thank You All!

When I'm attaching databases of SharePoint 2010 for update, I'm getting a lot of this errors (I think for all of the files):

In english it would be this: The URL ‘[url]’ is invalid. It may refer to a nonexistent file or folder, or refer to a valid file or folder that is not in the current Web

After this mounting, and site update (which complains also), the site looks working, but I cannot checkin nothig (I can chack out). Also I cannot create new page, or upload new document to any document library.

Any one know what could be the problem?

Hello SharePoint Fam,

I have a csv file that I was able to import 100% with 1,000 records fine with no issues and is working fine.  Once a month I will be sent a new csv file with updates that could be deletions/additions and just trying to avoid having to create a new termset each time which will break the link to lists that are pulling from this termset.  Is there a way via powershell to simply overwrite the current termset with new csv each month?

Thanks N Advance

Hi there

After upgrade our SP 2013 is running painfully slow - I will appreciate if someone can help by checking this.

PS: Hardware is not a problem for sure.

I have a script for copying documents and their metadate from a source document library over to a destination document library. Whilst this is working correctly and the documents as well the majority of the metadata get correctly copied to the destination the problem I have is that:

1. The modified by column shows up the SharePoint security group instead of the actual user.
2. The checked out to column does not copy anything.

Is there anything I need to update on my script below to achieve this correctly? script snippet is shown below:

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell -ea SilentlyContinue

$urlWebSrc = "https://testsite.info/sites/IT"

$listNameSrc = "Documents"

$urlWebTgt = "https://vine.info/dept/IT"

$webSrc = Get-SPWeb $urlWebSrc
$webTgt = Get-SPWeb $urlWebTgt
$src = $webSrc.Lists[$listNameSrc]
$tgt = $webTgt.Lists[$listNameTgt]

$listItems = $src.Items

$listFolders = $src.Folders

$srcRootFolderUrl = ("{0}/{1}" -f $src.ParentWebUrl, $src)
$tgtRootFolderUrl = ("{0}/{1}" -f $tgt.ParentWebUrl, $tgt)

$spQuery = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPQuery
$spQuery.Query = "<Where><BeginsWith><FieldRef Name='ContentTypeId' /><Value Type='ContentTypeId'>0x0101</Value></BeginsWith></Where>"

$rootItems = $src.GetItems($spQuery)

foreach ($rootItem in $rootItems)
{
$relative = $rootItem.Url
$targetItem = $listItems | where { $_.Url -eq $relative }
$sBytes = $targetItem.File.OpenBinary()
$dFile = $tgt.RootFolder.Files.Add($targetItem.Name, $sBytes, $true)
$dFile.Update()
$dItem = $tgt.GetItems($spQuery) | where { $_.Name -eq $targetItem.Name }
$dItem["Modified"] = $rootItem["Modified"].ToLocalTime()

$dItem["Committee"] = $rootItem["Committee"]
$dItem["Dept"] = $rootItem["Dept"]
$dItem["Organisation"] = $rootItem["Organisation"]
$dItem["Checked Out To"] = $rootItem["Cheked Out To"]
$dItem["Content Type"] = $rootItem["Content Type"]

$ditem.Update()
write-host "...... File Mirroring:" $dfile.Name "- Complete"
}

foreach ($folder in $listFolders)
{
$srcFolderUrl = $folder.Url
$tgtFolderUrl = $srcFolderUrl
$tgtFolderUrl = $tgtFolderUrl -replace $src, $tgt

if (!($tgt.Folders | where { $_.Url -eq $tgtFolderURL }))
{
$srcParentFolderUrl = $folder.Folder.ParentFolder.ServerRelativeUrl
$tgtParentFolderUrl = $srcParentFolderURL -replace $srcRootFolderUrl,
$tgtRootFolderUrl

$newFolder = $tgt.Additem($tgtparentFolderURL,
[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFileSystemObjectType]::Folder, $folder.Name)
$newFolder.SystemUpdate()
write-host "Folder Creation:" $tgtFolderURL "- Complete"
}

$tgtFolder = $tgt.Folders | where { $_.Url -eq $tgtFolderURL }

if ($folder.Folder.Files.Count -gt 0)
{
$spQuery.Folder = $folder.Folder

$srcItems = $src.GetItems($spQuery)

foreach ($item in $srcItems)
{
$relative = $item.Url
$targetItem = $listItems | where { $_.Url -eq $relative }
$sBytes = $targetItem.File.OpenBinary()
$dFile = $tgtFolder.Folder.Files.Add($targetItem.Name, $sBytes, $true)
$dFile.Update()
$spQuery.Folder = $tgtFolder.Folder
$dItem = $tgt.GetItems($spQuery) | where { $_.Name -eq $targetItem.Name }
$dItem["Modified"] = $item["Modified"].ToLocalTime()
$dItem["Created"] = $item["Created"].ToLocalTime()
$dItem["Author"] = $item["Author"]
$dItem["Editor"] = $item["Editor"]

$dItem["Committee"] = $rootItem["Committee"]
$dItem["Dept"] = $rootItem["Dept"]
$dItem["Organisation"] = $rootItem["Organisation"]
$dItem["Checked Out To"] = $rootItem["Cheked Out To"]
$dItem["Content Type"] = $rootItem["Content Type"]

$dItem.Update()
write-host "...... File Mirroring:" $dfile.Name "- Complete"
}
}
}

So the bit that is not working correctly is the copying of the Modified By column where instead of copying the actual user it copies the sharepoint group where the user is in.

Also the Checked out to values are not being copied at all.

Any suggestions would be greatly welcomed.

Hi Experts

I upgraded from SP 2010 to SP 2013 (two weeks ago) - but did not use this command while upgrading:

$db = Get-SPDatabase | ?{$_.Name -eq "WSS_Content_DB"}
$db.Repair($true)
$db.Update()

Does this matter?
How to fix this?

Thanks.

Hi there

User has Excel installed - still cannot click open Excel file in SharePoint Document library? Download or View in browser both work fine.

Any thoughts how to fix?

Thanks a lot.

We use on-premises SharePoint 2013 in our environment, and we are experiencing a problem where all users who aren't members of the "Enterprise CAL" AD group are unable to get a My Site provisioned. Our Farm license is set to "SharePoint Server with Enterprise Client Access License" in Central Administration. We are operating with user license enforcement enabled, and there are mappings to AD groups for all of the available license types (Ent, Std, Project, WAC). We have a mixed CAL environment.

Whenever a user in the Standard CAL group tries to setup their My Site, it just goes to a basic page with "About $username", an option to edit the profile, a photo in the top left, and two links on the quick launch for "About me" and "People". On this page, the Newsfeed, OneDrive, and Sites links at the very top only redirect to the same page. We are trying to force the provisioning by clicking on the "Follow" link on any site; this produces the following message: "Wait a minute - To follow documents or sites, we need to get a couple of things set up. This can take a few minutes to complete, and once it's done, you'll need to come back to this site and try following again." Clicking the "Get Started" button in response takes us to the previously described page; we never see the "We're almost ready" screen to indicate that the site is being created. The ULS log shows the the personal site instantiation fails for the affected users because these two conditions are not met:

Can Create Personal Site == False Is user licensed == False

When we change the AD membership to the Enterprise CAL group instead of the Standard CAL group, and then wait for the cached security token to expire the site does provision as expected. I know that this seems to make it obvious that it's a matter of needing to assign Enterprise CALs to the appropriate users, but after reviewing the feature/license information on Technet, it seems clear that "Personal Sites" are available to Standard CAL users for an on-premises farm. Please tell me if I'm wrong. On a side-note, does anyone know of a better resource that goes into clearer detail regarding licensed features for SharePoint CAL types? Here is the Technet site that we're currently referencing: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj819267.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396#bkmk_FeaturesOnPremise

Should Standard CAL users be able to have a My Site provisioned like we are expecting? If so, does anyone have any thoughts about where the problem could be in our environment? I really appreciate any and all feedback and comments. Thank you in advance!

Sorry, you don't have access to this page 

And they can request access although when trying to request it gives a 403 error. 

In our environment we have "Manage Permissions" turned off at the Web Application level. If we turn this on it works, but in our environment we do NOT want that to be turned on. 

Is this by design or is there a workaround to be able to use this feature? 

Thanks

Hi all,

Basically, what I'm looking to set up is the following - it seems so simple but I'm yet to find the best way to achieve it.

>An alert from an external system is sent to an email mailbox (any email we choose - could be a sharepoint list email)

>The body of that email alert contains information in a table. I.e. a username, date etc.

>(Currently) We manually create an item in a SharePoint list and copy/paste the details from the table to fields in the list.

>SharePoint then auto sends an email to the relevant username's inbox (Active Directory)

What I'm trying to do is remove the manual creation of the item - i.e. have SharePoint read the information in the table and complete a new list item based on that.

Is this possible? I've tried to search without much success.

Appreciate any thoughts!

Cheers,

Matt

Hi there

Local domain users come up fine but - Trusted domain users (Two way) not appearing in UPA - Despite selecting right Container in Sync Connection? (Several full sync completed).

Any thoughts?

Thanks so much.

Hello Everyone,

I am on May 2015 CU.  Can I simply install the ​November 2015 CU or December 2015 CU to get up to date?  Or do I need to install other CUs in between?

After reading this article I am assuming CUs need to be installed in a certain order and I just can jump to the lastest CU from May 2015?

We have a SharePoint deployment at our university that is akin to a multi-tenant deployment in that we are using several different domains for our SharePoint sites and the SharePoint servers themselves are in an entirely different domain space. The problem that we are encountering is that when we try to login to one of our newly-provisioned site collections we get an access denied message and the logs show the following error:

"Cannot find site lookup info for request Uri "

We cannot create AAMs for every site that is created, so I am at a loss as to how to get around this.
