Hi, we have got User Profile Sync configured.

Then there are a solution that is getting info from the hidden User information list.

The one Site Collection looks like it is up to date and correct data and then we have a different Site Collection which seems to not have all the info.

How does a user get added to the hidden user list, when they access a site the first time? And then the "User Profile Service Application - User Profile to SharePoint Full Synchronization" timer job sync the data between the UPS and the Site Collections?

So how can to Site Collections have different content for the same users?

I did the Stsadm.exe –o sync –deleteolddatabases 0 and manually started the User Profile to SharePoint Full Synchronization.

Anything else I can try?

ListTemplate ID 108 is for Discussion list . When we access the url _layouts/viewlsts.aspx?BaseType=0&ListTemplate=108

The links get redirected to exactly location 

But in case of SharePoint 2013, it is not the case. All Site Contents appears. But the URL is same

Same case with other  urls too

_layouts/viewlsts.aspx?BaseType=1

Hi, I am having issue enabling Garbage collection after I installed CU7 on SharePoint 2013 farm. Every time I edit the CacheCOnfiguration.exe.config and try and start it I cant get it started via Central Admin or PowerShell.

Can I ignore Garbage Collection fro now or what affect will that have on SharePoint?

Thanks

We are seeing some strange behaviour when opening Excel files via Windows Explorer. For some users it takes 40+ seconds for the file to open. For other users it is taking 3 seconds. This is all on a local network. The files are approximately 200 KB. They don't have any data connections in them.

This has only started happening in the last week or two.

Any ideas on how to fix or troubleshoot this?

Thanks

Getting errors when enable the garbage collector after I installed AppFabric 1.1 CU7 for SharePoint 2013.

I Run:

Stop-SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance –Graceful

I add this to : DistributedCacheService.exe.config

<appSettings><add Key="backgroundGC" value="true"/></appSettings>

between

</ConfigSections> and

<dataCacheConfig>

And then appFabric wont start again.

Whether using

Add-SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance via Central Admin

Have removed the cache aswell with no better results. (Remove-SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance)

This happens on 3 different farms...

Is there a certain version of .net 4.5 that is required maybe?

IN order to upgrade SP 2010 to SP 2013 I have below steps and I want to understand how to upgrade layout pages created in old version of SharePoint.

1. Database Backup - Take the backup of Content database from existing SP 2010 production server environment.

2. Prepare new SP 2013 farm environment

3. Create new web application.

4. Modify web.config for “AppSetings” and “Connection String” etc.

5. Install all prerequisite on GAC.

6. Install SP 2010 custom solutions on the new SharePoint 2013 farm - create power shell command which will install solution in compatibility Level switch. Solution will be installed to both 14 and 15 hives.

7. Mount the content databases for upgrading (Supply web application URL and content database name)

8. Verify the application in 2010 compatibility mode.

9. Using power shell command or using site collection upgrades UI (screen) Upgrade the site collection.

Application is launched with default SP 2013 look and everything is working fine

Old solution /Project: we have created Custom layout pages with various zones on layouts and few default web parts on layout. For example below is one of the layout pages first lines:

Layout page Name: Home_Layout.aspx

<%@Pagelanguage="C#"  Inherits="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PublishingLayoutPage,Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing,Version=14.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c"meta:progid="SharePoint.WebPartPage.Document"%>

Also added few web part on left and right zone and their reference are included on layout page with fully qualified name

So I want to know how to upgrade the layout page (best practices) considering that thousands of page created with this layout and we will migrate them up to SP 2016.

So migration path is SP 2010(current) àSP 2013àSP 2016

So do we need to install WSP created in SP 2010 on below environment as well?

• SP 2013 farm
• SP 2016 farm

I am experiencing the issue when I convert SP 2010 project to SP 2013 then it’s not working and every page shows file not found error.

Can you please suggest how to upgrade Layout pages in correct way/approach?

Hi,

We have created Custom Web part from SharePoint server 15 with sandbox or Farm solution. Need to import .wsp file to SharePoint online site. After uploaded the file to solutions, While going to activate the solutions. It shows the below error. 

Need to active the web part and use it in a web page of SharePoint Online.

Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to follow Microsofts instructions (https:// technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161236.aspx) for setting up apps in sharepoint, and I came to the following line.

$appSubSvc = New-SPSubscriptionSettingsServiceApplication -ApplicationPool $appPoolSubSvc -Name SettingsServiceApp -DatabaseName <SettingsServiceDB>

Where:
                    <SettingsServiceDB> is the name of the Subscription Settings service database.

How do I find out what the name of the Subscription Settings service database is?

I didn't setup the server or database, and theres nobody here who knows much about this. Apparently this was created and so is there but has been renamed to a non standard name, but there are a lot of databases on this server.

Are there power-shell applets that can tell me this? Or where/what should I be looking at? There is a SQL Server is on this machine but I didn't see anything obvious when looking at the databases on there. e.g. by usingPS C:\Users\test> Get-SPDatabase

Can anybody point me in the right direction as to what I'm looking to use to identify the new DB name here?

HI,

Do i need to install SSRS add in on all SharePoint servers (web front end and apps server)  to create SSRS service application or not?

I have installed SSRS on app1 server only by following microsoft blog but not able to see SSRS service under Ribbon bar.

any suggestion ?

Thanks,

would like to know best sharepoint 2013/office 365 product for exporting list item/lists items(header/details) to pdf, word, excel, powerpoint using predefined templates. (for example contracts/prices/products/produc prices, customers etc.)

Is writing code using API or office API worth spending time with?

I am getting permission issue in access emails. Alerts, Incoming emails and outgoing emails works fine in the web application.

I see the below error in ULS Logs. We migrated to SP2013 recently from SP2010. SP2010 had different service accounts as compared to SP2013.

SharePoint 2010, February 2016 CU. The environment is going through a domain controller upgrade, of the 4, 3 are 2012 R2 with one remaining on 2008 R2. Since the upgrade started UPS can no longer sync.

Issue - When attempting to pull a CN / OU list from UPS > Synch Connection, I could NOT connect to any domain controller and received the error "The operation was aborted because the client side timeout limit was exceeded.".

Change A - On the SP Server that runs the FIM services I set the following. >Computer Configuration \ Windows Settings \ Security Settings \ Local Policies \ Security Options. Then select "network security: LDAP client signing requirements", change to "None".

That appeared to fix the issue with a single DC that I was told was running PDC services.
The 2008 R2 DC I could not connect to at all.
The other two 2012 R2 DC's, get the "No containers to display"

Change B - Changing the timeout value made no difference. Read online it matters what version of SharePoint you have for these values to matter. I set these back to default.
$upsAppProxy = Get-SPServiceApplicationProxy edae2ace-66d4-48e1-858a-3ed97fd2aab9
$upsAppProxy.LDAPConnectionTimeout    #Default: 120
$upsAppProxy.LDAPConnectionTimeout = 120
$upsAppProxy.Update()

$upsAppProxy = Get-SPServiceApplicationProxy edae2ace-66d4-48e1-858a-3ed97fd2aab9
$upsAppProxy.ImportConnAsyncTimeout    #Default: 1000
$upsAppProxy.ImportConnAsyncTimeout = 1000
$upsAppProxy.Update()

$upsApp = Get-SPServiceApplication 2a0d8b99-56dd-4bcf-967a-be76acce6ddf
$upsApp.FIMWebClientTimeOut    #Default: 300000
$upsApp.FIMWebClientTimeOut = 300000
$upsApp.Update()

Change C - Turned the policy back from "None" to "Netgotiate Signing", rebooted.
This got me further, i.e. allowed me to pull the CN / OU list from the 2012 R2 DC's. The 2008 R2 DC did not work still.

Change D - Turned on NetBIOSDomainNamesEnabled.
$UserProfile = Get-SPServiceApplication –Id 2a0d8b99-56dd-4bcf-967a-be76acce6ddf
$UserProfile.NetBIOSDomainNamesEnabled=1

Change E - Updated the FIM client to use only preferred domain controllers, setting to only 2012 R2 DC's.
This allowed for me to pull CN / OU data from UPS from the 2012 R2 DC's. This got me to an near good state. Users were importing, all is well for now.

My question / issue is..

- Why does UPS timeout to the 2008 R2 DC only?

- Why does the policy enable communication?

I have a total of 3000 users worldwide, all different countries. People use all different browsers. There is nothing standardized. I have a user with Windows 8 and Internet Explorer.  I cannot replicate the same in Windows 7 with IE 11. I do have Trusted Sites setup in my IE. We are using SP 2013 with SP 1 (Nov 2014 CU). The problem is about the login prompts and pop-up window - the following happens:

1. Go to Team page with IE, it has the Yammer embedded in it
2. Yammer embed web part shows a login button
3. Click Log in
4. Authentication opens in a pop-up window
5. Enter email address only
6. Verifies login but displays Yammer feed in the pop-up
7. Close pop-up
8. Refresh the Intranet Team page
9. Yammer feed now appears.

How can I remove the pop-up? How do I get rid of the login prompt?

Thanks,

Has anyone heard of pointing to a SP2013 farm from a SP2016 server (in a hybrid situation) in order to crawl the contents of the 2013 farm for Delve (in O365)? Delve can only be used with O365. However, using a hybrid approach the contents of the on premise SP2016 could be crawled and the index would reside in O365. 

I have a SharePoint farm with multiple web applications. I deploy a custom webpart ‘ServerTermstoreNavigation” to the farm and added a “SafeControl Assembly” entry to the web.config by copy the line from another farm. Later, I recognized the PublicKeyToken should be different. I obtain the correct PublicKeyToken for the current farm. Here is the entry with the correct key in web.config.

<SafeControl Assembly="ServerTermstoreNavigation, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=e8deb9cd8f16e5c6" Namespace="ServerTermstoreNavigation.VisualWebPart1" TypeName="*" Safe="True" />

However, I still get an error refers to the old PublicKeyToken although I restarted IIS and the server.

Could not load file or assembly 'ServerTermstoreNavigation, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=609fa0c9fcaa8c7e' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

I search the old Token609fa0c9fcaa8c7e Key in the disks of server and cannot find it. I do not know why it is still looking the old key?

Please advise

Many thanks

I am trying to change the account used for distributed cache from the farm account to a less privileged service account. I perform the following.

Stop-SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance -Graceful -Verbose

$farm = Get-SPFarm
$cacheService = $farm.Services | where {$_.Name -eq "AppFabricCachingService"}
$accnt = Get-SPManagedAccount -Identity 'domain\account'
$cacheService.ProcessIdentity.CurrentIdentityType = "SpecificUser"
$cacheService.ProcessIdentity.ManagedAccount = $accnt
$cacheService.ProcessIdentity.Update()
$cacheService.ProcessIdentity.Deploy()

Get-SPServiceInstance | where typename -like "*cach*" | Start-SPServiceInstance

The account name changes and the AppFabric Caching Service starts.

However, afterwards I cannot connect to the cache cluster anymore.

Use-CacheCluster
Get-CacheClusterHealth
Get-CacheClusterHealth : ErrorCode<ERRCAdmin040>:SubStatus<ES0001>:Failed to connect to hosts in the cluster
At line:1 char:1+ Get-CacheClusterHealth+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-AFCacheClusterHealth], DataCacheException+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.DataCacheException,Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Cachi
   ng.Commands.GetAFCacheClusterHealthCommand

Changing back to the farm account allows it to function again.

How do I get the account changed successfully?

Hi,

I have a document which has unique permissions set (I gave myself contribute access to it). I do not have access anywhere else on the site. Now I try accessing the document library; I get access denied - understandably so. So I gave myself read permission on the doc lib; and then tried accessing the document - I get credentials  pop up. If I provide credentials, I keep getting it again n again. If I discard it (close the pop up) I get the file opened, but in 'Read Only' mode.

Why is this happening?

****UPDATE****

If I grant even read access on Site level; I am able to edit the file. This should not be dependent on site permissions as the file as unique permissions set and I have contribute access on it.

I am trying to Export SPWeb of 100 GB and it's failing to export with error "Export-SPWeb : There is not enough space on the disk." . I have changed the Temp Location to 300 GB drive still the problem rename the same.

Please help me if anyone got the same problem
