Pages Vs. Site Pages

Hey SharePoint Fam,

My current environment has both pages & site pages in use.  Site Pages are set for all department site home pages and I was thinking about making the whole environment set to use Publishing Pages only instead of the Site pages & wiki pages. I really like using the metadata/seo fields on Publishing pages for search purposes and just wanted to see what you all think or maybe keep site pages as the home pages but all other pages use Publishing pages format......??  Is one better than the other you feel?

Thanks N Advance

Need to restore UPA through powershell on DR server. when doing in CA can see and update the database names, as well as the database datafiles and logfiles , but these do not seem to be available in Powershell, just the alias database server name change if I look in https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg985419(v=office.15).aspx or in restore-spFarm. I Know can be done with SQL restore and then service creation but was wondering how can be done straight through powershell by inputting the new database names (Profile, sync, social) as well as the database datafiles and logfiles folder locations, as well the new login name for the associated application pool.

Thank you,

How can we hide the yellow «Check Out» (Sjekk ut) button bar from all Office installations when opening an Office document in SharePoint 2013.



We want to keep the requirement: Documents in the Document Library “must be checked out” before editing.


To check out an document, we can use (and need to keep) the menu option File->Check-Out 

 

Steps to reproduce

  1. Find a office document and open it

  2. Excel opens with the Yellow “Check out” button bar like

  3. How can we hide this Yellow Check Out line, both central controlled and local controlled

This "yellow bar" leads to many support issues, so an solution has been appreciated.

All, I am currently working on SharePoint 2013 VM server window 2008 R2 Pagefile sizing guidance. After spend few days googling and researching I found 2 approach to manually specify Pagefile size

Approach 1:
1.5 times the RAM

Here is support articles:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/7bda6ce8-d495-4605-b083-db93b3abc596/windows-2008-r2-paging-file-best-practice

Approach 2:
(Max value of Committed Bytes + additional 20% buffer to accommodate any workload bursts)-RAM size

Here is support articles:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/motiba/archive/2015/10/16/page-file-the-definitive-guide.aspx
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2860880
https://mcpmag.com/articles/2011/07/05/sizing-page-files-on-windows-systems.aspx

Our goal is sizing the Pagefile correctly so it won't take too much space on C:\ and not trigger alert in SharePoint Health Analyzer.

Can you give us recommendations how we can size Pagefile correctly to meet above goal?

Thanks

Migration of SharePoint Integrated Mode Reporting Services from one SP farm to another

Hi Everyone

We are working on a case where we need to setup a temporary SharePoint 2013 environment for SP SSRS. We'll install SSRS in integrated mode. After a quarter, we'll decommission it and merge it with another SP 2013 environment. I've had some idea about migration process from https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh759331%28v=sql.110%29.aspx and http://whitepages.unlimitedviz.com/2011/12/upgrading-and-moving-integrated-mode-reporting-services-with-sharepoint/. Can anyone please advise if those links are good enough to work with or if we need to take care of something else also.

Any help is appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Thanks Mohit

SharePoint 2013 Approval Workflow Does Not Work Properly In Offline Farm (missing buttons and broken permissions)

Hello,

I have an offline Sharepoint 2013 Farm in a production environment.
The farm contains 2 frontend servers and 1 backend with microsoft SQL 2012 (which are 2012 windows server).

I have created an Approval workflow on a list with just one approver, i did not change the workflow itself just adjusted the email content a little bit.
the workflow sends an e-mail to the creator, informing him the approval workflow has started, and the approver gets an e-mail giving him the item url and the actions he needs to take to approve the request.
(the Approver have full control on the list where the workflow runs)
when the approver enters the item link ('[%task process:web url%]/[%task process:item url%]) he gets to the request page but does not have an approve/reject buttons nor a workflow option in the action ribbon.

when the approver enters the request again through the site (not the item link in the e-mail) he can see the workflow option in the action ribbon and there he can see the workflow that runs on the list.
when he enters the workflow title ('please review...') then he can see an approve/reject buttons.

the question is how do i add those buttons to the original request without the approver entering the workflow itself and why does he not see the workflow option when he enters the item link through the e-mail?

thank you in advance,
motipo.

Configuring SharePoint 2013 for ADFS with Kerberos

Hello,

 I'm trying to setup SharePoint 2013 with Kerberos authentication and ADFS for publishing via WAP, similar to this:

http://www.brightstarr.com/sharepoint-technology-and-application-insights/securely-publishing-sharepoint-externally-using-web-application-proxy-part-2

The problem I have is that I'm hitting a generic ADFS error. The only difference in my setup is that I the SharePoint site listens on a modified URL path of

http://portal.contoso.com/sites/myapp  

rather than 

http://portal.contoso.com

How can I change the site so that it's accessible via http://portal.contoso.com?

Thanks

My on-premise SharePoint 2013 site is set up secure (https://sitename.com). A video file can be uploaded, downloaded, etc. However, it cannot play in browser.

IE produces the following error in the developer panel:

SEC7111: HTTPS security is compromised by http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=108181
videoplayerpage.aspx

Chrome produces the same error:

Mixed Content: The page at 'https://insite2.norc.org/sites/lms/LMS%20Training%20Videos/Forms/Video/vide…2D%20NORC%20%2D%20Tuesday%2C%20December%2015%2C%202015%2012%2E42%2E30%20PM' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure image 'http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=108181'. This content should also be served over HTTPS.

Is there a server configuration to push the player request to use https?

UNABLE TO IMPLEMENT WINDOWS AND SAML AUTH ON SAME WEB APP

January 15, 2016, 8:10 am

Purpose:

Allow user from an Oracle IDM environment to connect to SP sites using SAML auth (same domain as SP)

SP 2013 web apphttp://sp2013dev4.ddd.com

Auth Provider = Claims NTLM and also a custom Trusted IDP

Steps:

When we access the URL above - we are presented with a drop down for either Windows Auth or the custom trusted IDP

We select Windows Auth and taken into the site

We select the custom trusted IDP and then are taken to the Oracle env login page. We then enter those credentials successfully and are directed back to the SP site - but at this point SP redirects us back to the sign-in page with the drop down options.

We are using a single claim mapping for email address:

$map = New-SPClaimTypeMapping -IncomingClaimType "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/emailaddress" -IncomingClaimTypeDisplayName "EmailAddress" -SameAsIncoming

Custom IDP was created using this:

$signInURL = "https://"sso environment"/oamfed/idp/samlv11sso?providerid=urn%3asharepoint%3asp2013dev4.wyn.com&"

$siterealm = "urn:sharepoint:sp2013dev4.ddd.com"

$ap1 = New-SPTrustedIdentityTokenIssuer -Name $name -Description “SharePoint Secured by SAML” -realm $siterealm -ImportTrustCertificate $cert -ClaimsMappings $map -SignInUrl $signInURL -IdentifierClaim $map.InputClaimType -RegisteredIssuerName $siterealm

Have this in the logs but not sure if it applies:

SPFederationAuthenticationModule.IsRedirectToLogOnPage: Detected a redirection but the redirect is not to a known signin page:http://sp2013dev4.ddd.com/_layouts/15/Authenticate.aspx?Source=%2F

User profiles not being deleted

In SP 2013 , running UP using regular Sync not AD Import. in Manage User Profiles , there are users that should not be there since they are in users OU subfolders which are unchecked in "Configure Syncronization Connections " inside the users OU . Not entirely sure how they got in UP but cannot remove them automatically. tried the below but did not work (run full sync couple of times also as well as MySite Cleanup Job)

$upa = Get-SPServiceApplication -id <Identity of User Profile Service Application>

Set-SPProfileServiceApplication -Identity $upa - PurgeNonImportedObjects $true

Querying the backend (backup Profile DB and restore on another machine-do not want to upset MS) find these users in the UserPRofileFull table but not in the DNLookup table

SELECT A.RecordID,A.NTName, A.bDeleted FROM [UserProfile_Full]  A --find the users which should not be there

select b.* from [DNLookup] B --find just the proper users not the ones that should not be there

Any idea how I can get rid of these?

Thank you

Can I Package/Export OOTB SharePoint List?

Hello SharePoint Fam,

I do most of my custom SharePoint list/workflows in test environment and then use Metalogix Migrator tool to move the list over to Production.  Was wondering if there is a easy way for me to somehow save/package a list and workflows attached from test environment and import without using Metalgoix tool at all?  I don't have nintex or visual studio, these are pretty much out of the box list/forms/workflows I build but I customize the actual form pages/html/aspx for a better presentation of fields.  Some users like to start there new forms with ID 1, so having a way to package list would be nice that way I could always just do a simple import of a list and start their form/list over at ID 1.

Thanks N Advance

So I have finally gotten my UPS set up, now my picture sync is causing problems.  I have the mapping set up for the thumbnailPhoto in the UPSA.  When i do the full sync, FIM comes back with a bunch of "stopped-extension-dll-exceptions".  In the Synch Errors section, it lists all the Photo MVID's and lists them as Binary.  In the Mapping in UPSA I cant set the Picture type to Binary, it has to be URL. 

Any ideas?

TypeError: Unable to get property 'replace' of undefined or null reference after update

Hello,

Yesterday I ran windows update on my SharePoint 2013 Front End and some SharePoint updates were installed, after restarting the server some of the SharePoint list are not showing their items but the following string repeating a lot of times "TypeError: Unable to get property 'replace' of undefined or null reference"

I did read that I need to install the SP1 and the "Jan 2016 Cumulative Update" but I am not able to install the "Jan 2016 CU" every time I run the setup it shows the following message “The expected version of the product was not found on the system”. I tried to re-run the SharePoint enterprise SP1 installation and the SharePoint Foundation SP1 installation and both of the setup shows a message saying that the Service Packs are already installed.

I don’t know what else I can do to fix this issue but I need a fix because the users are not able to use the SharePoint properly.

Edit: My current configuration database version is: 15.0.4787.1000

Thank you.

Crawl not working, receiving socket time outs

January 15, 2016, 2:12 pm

We're using an ACS proxy to authenticate via the Azure AD. That part works fine. The web app is only set to use the ACS Provider and therefore, users don't get a page showing two login options.

To allow crawling, I have extended the web app and enabled NTLM authentication. Normally, this should work. However, after a minute or so the crawl just exits and the crawl log says it timed out.

Looking at the ULS logs I see, under "Service Connections", The socket was aborted because an asynchronous receive from the socket did not complete within the allotted timeout of 00:01:00. The time allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer timeout. ---&amp;gt; System.IO.IOException: The read operation failed, see inner exception. ---&amp;gt; System.TimeoutException: The socket was aborted because an asynchronous receive from the socket did not complete within the allotted timeout of 00:01:00. The time allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer timeout. ---&amp;gt; System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request     at System.ServiceModel.Channels.SocketConnection.HandleReceiveAsyncCompleted()     at System.ServiceModel.Channels.SocketConnection.OnReceiveAsync(Object sender, SocketAsyncEventArgs eventArgs)     --- End of inner exception stack trace ---  

The account used for crawling has all the appropriate rights. Unfortunately, this is the only web app we're crawling so I don't know if the crawl fundamentally flawed or if I'm missing some other setting.

Any help would be appreciated.
