Disabling Security Trimming - SharePoint Online

$

Because of a performance issue, I have had to disable Security Trimming for my Site Collection in SharePoint Online. Does anybody know what else this may affect? For example, will it affect the Search functionality? Meaning will search results REMAIN security trimmed or will they now show all results and when a user clicks on the link, they get the access denied screen?

Web Part form fields get cleared on a postback after a short time.

$

I took over working on an application using SharePoint where forms were created in web parts.  The application has had a peculiar problem for the longest time that I/we can't understand what is happening.  We navigate to the page with the web part form and begin filling it out.  If you take more than a couple of minutes to fill out the form, any Postback event will refresh the page and clear the form.  I have tried reading articles regarding timeouts but there are so many timeout variables in different web.config, we are unsure which one is the correct one to change.  

What would cause a SharePoint page to refresh itself on Postback after just a couple of minutes?  I'm pretty sure its not a request timeout and don't think it could be a session time out since we are not using session state.  Any thoughts or solutions would be appreciated.  Thanks.

User with default read permission is able to checkout documents via client application

Hi,

I have come across a situation where a user with SP Read permission is presented with the ability to checkout a document when the document is opened in the client app. Also, user is able to save changes and publish back to the server. (User has been confirmed to not have checkin/checkout option in the SharePoint menu.)

Is this something wrong with the Read Permission settings? How is this possible and how can I prevent users with Read from doing this?

thanks,

SAML Auth and NTLM

$

G'day, I've successfully setup ADFS and enabled it on our internally hosted Sharepoint 2013 instance. If I enable claims based Authentication on our main intranet Site, I have to also disable NTLM authentication for it to work. Can I use both Auth methods on the same site (Even if it's using a different hostname mapping)??

Example internal staff (Domain network) use intranet.xxx.com and use NTLM, External Staff Using exttranet.xxx.com and use Claims based Auth. 

Is it possible to use two Auth methods for the same 'site'?

Thanks in advance.

Well, the title pretty much says it all, but here are the details:

Pristine Windows 2012 R2 server with Windows updates applied

The SharePoint Prerequisites have been installed

When running the SharePoint 2013 Foundation setup, the setup program halts and displays this message:

"Setup is unable to proceed due to the following error(s):

This product requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5"

I've read all kinds of older articles and none of them help.  Any ideas what's going on and how to fix it?

Thanks,

Unable to create a Service Connection Point

$

Hi -

I set up a new SharePoint 2013 environment.  Everything installed successfully.  When I launch Central Admin, it doesn't accept my logon ID/password.  I found the following in the application event logs.    I assume our AD guys will need to set up a new SCP as pointed out here:   http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff730261.aspx

I just don't recall having to ever do this before in any of the dozen or environments that I had set up.   

Unable to create a Service Connection Point in the current Active Directory domain. Verify that the SharePoint container exists in the current domain and that you have rights to write to it.

 Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: The object LDAP://CN=Microsoft SharePoint Products,CN=System,DC=cprt,DC=adt,DC=net doesn't exist in the directory.

   at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPServiceConnectionPoint.Ensure(String serviceBindingInformation)

   at Microsoft.SharePoint.PostSetupConfiguration.CentralAdministrationSiteTask.ProvisionAdminVs()

 

By the way, when I tried to run PowerShell to create the Admin Content DB, I got this error, even though the install account has sysadmin privileges on all databases: 

New-SPConfigurationDatabase : Cannot connect to database master at SQL server

at SP2013Server -AdministrationContentDatabaseName. The database might not

exist, or the current user does not have permission to connect to it.

At line:1 char:1

+ New-SPConfigurationDatabase -DatabaseName SharePoint_Config -DatabaseServer

VMRS ...

I just went ahead and then ran the Product Config Wizard and it set up everything fine.  Some folks were able to resolve by running config wizard twice?

Global Search Center Url doesn't seem to work

$

Hi everyone,

This one is puzzling me, and I can't seem to find the answer here or elsewhere.

All I need is to set a Global Search Center Url in the Search application so that this is used in all site collections in the farm.
No changes to site collections should be needed.

If I set it to https://extranet.ourcompany.com/search/pages it doesn't seem to ever be used in the site collection.


In the root site collection I have set the following:

Site Settings -> Site Collection Administration -> Search Settings ->

Search Center url left blank.

Use the same results page settings as my parent is checked.

Search settings in web scope is same.


I did an iisreset on all machines after setting Global Search Center Url.

It always sends me to _layouts/15/osssearchresults.aspx when doing a search.

If I set search center url in Site Collection Search Settings page, then that one is picked up.

It completely ignores my CA setting.
I can't seem to find anyone with this specific problem.

We are going to have a lot of site collections, and setting them all manually after creation is something I would prefer not to do.

Any ideas? I could be missing something blatantly obvious.

Best Regards,

Thomas

What SPNs are needed for Kerberos to support the SharePoint Web Services IIS Application?

$
0
0

Setting up Kerberos to support a "normal" SharePoint web application is pretty straightforward:

setspn -s HTTP/servername accountname

setspn -s HTTP/servername.domain.org accountname

But what about the SPNs needed for the SecurityTokenServiceApplication which is a subweb to SharePoint Web Services? The Web Services root application runs as localservice and thus cannot have an SPN assigned. But the individual subwebs below it can run under different accounts e.g. SecurityTokenServiceApplicationPool running as the farm account, the SearchAdmin.svc (named as a GUID) running under a custom domain user account...

I can certainly do

SETSPN -s HTTP/servername:32843 domain\serviceuseraccount

but then what about the SecurityTokenServiceApplicationPool running as the farm account? That is also hosted over the same port! If I use the same SETSPN account above but specify a different user, that is forbidden. It creates a "duplicate" SPN.

Help! What am I missing?

Remote Blob storage for sharepoint 2013

$

Hi All,

Please could someone recommend a solution to a big problem that I currently have in our SharePoint environment. A document library enabled for a group of our users has reached the 5000 threshold limit. I have explored the following options

a) create separate libraries

b) create subfolders within one library and keep the number of items in each library\folder less than or equal to 5000.

c) Create Multiple view and indexes.

d) enable remote blob storage out site the SQL SharePoint DB.

From the standpoint of the requirements SharePoint is to be used as a sort of storage location for the organizations documents( Not a fan of it but this is what is required).

Option a) could lead to potential endless number  of libraries which technically I do not want to do. Option b) seems like a solution but for the fear of the disadvantages of creating folders I'm still holding off on a better alternative. Option c) as crazy as it might seem does not meet the requirement because the use of explorer view of documents in sharepoint is critical to the way users work( They use an application called Harmonie which makes use of the explorer feature in sharepoint).Option d) is an option that I am currently exploring but need help with. Is there anyone that is good with SharePoint and at the same time good with BLOB storage that can verify if I were to create a remote blob storage share if this will work around the 5000 threshold limit set for document libraries? Ultimately, I'm looking a solution that give me better flexibility in terms of storing large files and large amount of data.

Please could some please shed some light.

Thanks,

Dominic

How to stop "View Only" users from downloading Excel file?

Hi there

I tested this on IE/Chrome/FireFox.

A user with View Only permissions is only supposed to see a document but not download.
However when he clicks on an Excel file > It opens in browser > On top a button shows up called File > Save as a snapshot.

Is there any way to stop this? It defeats MS documentation which claims View Only cannot download.

Thanks.

 

Script to deactivate all features across the farm for a specified wsp?

Hi All

Is there a Powershell script which can get all the features in a wsp and then enumerate throughout the entire farm and disable these?

I'd like such a script as uninstalling wsps can sometimes leave the "missing server-side dependencies" warning in SP2013.

Thanks

I get the following error when I hit "Follow" at the top right corner of any site in the Collaboration web app(see my env below).

Sorry we could not follow the site

InternalError : Could not follow the item <site name> 

My Environment:

SP2013 Farm with two web apps 1) collaboration 2) My Sites

My Sites are up and running as expected. All features including "Follow" are working fine. However when I go to any site on collaboration web app and hit follow, I get the above listed error. I get the same behavior if I try to follow a document as well.

Please note that these features are working fine on my sites web application. I couldn't find anything in ULS log coz its not generating any correlation id.

I would really appreciate any pointers to resolve this problem.

Can SharePoint 2013 have Two Independent APP servers running same service applications?

$
0
0

Hi ,

We are looking at an 3- tier architecture where there is a load balancer, 2 WFE(WFE1, WFE2), 2 APP Servers(APP1,APP2) and a SQL Server. 

What we wanted is here to have two parallel 3-Tiers where WFE1 Communicates with only APP1, WFE2 Communicates with only APP2. APP1 and APP2 point to same sql instance. The reason behind this approach being if one APP server is down site should still be accessible. 

Is this approach correct? and works with SharePoint 2013?
