I want to create the staff directory as done in the image. any ideas?
Also i have a bunch of document libraries in a subsite. I want to create a listing of the libraries and not the content in them on the homepage of the subsite. so that users can at a glance see all the librarcies
Now I checked back the site collection's “Site content” page. And seems all the sub-sites have their modified date updated (2 days ago) except two sub-sites were not updated(3 days ago).
So I thought that the list views for these 2 sub-sites have not been modified. But when I open the sub-sites again I have noted that their list view has been updated also. But not sure why the sub-site modified date have been changed inside the site collection“site content” page.
Now I remember when I opened the multiple SharePoint designer windows during my work, I have noted that some sub-sites had wrong names ,as they got other sub-sites names:-
but when I click on the refresh button inside SharePoint designer the correct site name was shown
So can anyone advice on these:-
I'm running into an issue in Sharepoint 2013 where I can't edit a page on a sub-site, that it appears I should have permissions to, and I'm the sole administrator. I click on 'Edit Page', and most of the options are greyed out. What's interesting is that I can still edit all of the Lists, Libraries and Wikis within the page, just not the main page layout.
This isn't the case on any of the other Sharepoint sub sites, or the top level site. The permissions are inherited, which means that it should work.
Is there a way to reset the permissions, like a propagation downwards in Windows?
I've taken over a SharePoint 2013 farm (single server with separate database server). The system was installed with a account that has been deleted and I'm trying to add a install/admin account to the farm.
I've done the following:
- Added Install/Admin account to Administrators group on SharePoint server
- Changed owner on the databases (where the previous user was db_owner)
- Replaced Site Collection administrator to Install/Admin account
I've compared this to a installation I've done with AutoSPInstaller and the db_owner on the different databases are very different. Who is supposed to be db_owner on the different databases, Install/Admin or Farm account?
Hi,
Power Apps will be target only to SP Online?
If it will target to onprem, will it be only to SP2016 or also to previous versions?
Thanks,

We have been having permission issues with our Document libraries. With the exception of site administrators, when I grant "Full Control" permissions to either individuals or groups, everything works like it is supposed to except the "+ new document" button, which opens up a light box displaying the message:
"Access Required
This site hasn't been shared with you."
When I go to Library -> Settings -> Permissions for this document library -> Check Permission, and then check for the specific user I'm testing with, I get the reply that they have Full Control giving directly. Everything else works for the user
it the library. They can drag and drop to upload, they can work with the document menus, edit properties, check out, etc. As a site collection administrator, everything works, including the new document button.
The one thing that doesn't work is the "+ new document" button on the front page of the document library. I have not been able to find any notes on this issue on the internet and am hoping someone here more experienced then me can point me the right direction.
Hi,
I am trying to install SharePoint 2013 SP1 on physical windows server 2012 R2 and getting error during setup. Server is patched and all pre-requisites are installed. Running SharePoint server 2013 SP1 setup from writable location. At the end of the install getting error with no visual clue and clicking close button pops up with Microsoft setup Bootstapper has stopped working message. Looking at the log file it shows below errors:
Error: Failed to install product: C:\global\oserver.MSI ErrorCode: 1603(0x643).
I have looked at several post on downloading ORCA and changing msi, and some suggested to run powershell script updating registry, which I am not sure.
Can anyone help please?
Hi folks,
Would you recommend Kerberos authentication for on-prem apps?
According to TechNet article "only when it is configured to use NTLM as a fallback authentication method. Kerberos-only is not supported." , so to me is not a good idea...
Any advice greatly appreciated.

Hello,
All Prod databases have been copied directly over the Dev Databases and so all the original dev config settings to those database names have changed because they were not like Prod. Is there a way on the sharepoint server to go through and update what database names the app should be looking at? The connection stayed the same, the server stayed the same but the Databases are all named like Prod now. Thank you in advance.
When viewing a librabry in Sharepoint there is a Library Feature that allows you to link the library or folder to outlook.
I have done this before and it seemed a useful feature, one of our users pointed out recently that she was unable to drag emails from outlook into the folder linked to sharepoint in Oulook. I tried doing the same on mine and found I could no longer do this either.
Wondering whether anybody else had seen this problem before and know what might be causing it. (My thinking is it might have been an update, or a setting that might have been inadvertently changed by one of the other admins)
WOuld appreciate some help on this
Hi,
I have a demo VM with SP2010 and DC on it.
I need to migrate that demo solution on SP 2010 to SP2013 and the DC name can not be the same.
I'm planning to build a new PoC VM and then install SP 2013 and migrate SP 2010 from the other VM to it.
1 - Is there any particular work to do because of the diferente domain?
2 - Any good guide to install this demo DC
3- Is there any problem if the new VM DC sees the company network DC?
Thank you so much,
JD
I'm trying to create a host-named site collection under my web application using Powershell. There are other host-named site collections in this web app already, so it's not the first one.
I am using the following command:
New-SPSite $site -OwnerAlias $owner -HostHeaderWebApplication $wp -Name $portalName -ContentDatabase $dbname -Template $portalTemplate | Out-Null
I have created the content database successfully ($dbname), and the owner ($owner), and the template is BLANKINTERNETCONTAINER#0
In the ULS Log, I can see the following entries:
- Failed to create modules from onet.xml when provisioning site at url <SiteURL> with site definition "(null)".
- Cannot create site: <siteURL> for owner <Owner>, Error: There is no file with URL '_catalogs/masterpage/v4.master' in this Web., 0xeba7c390
- The site <siteURL> could not be created. The following exception occurred: There is no file with URL '_catalogs/masterpage/v4.master' in this Web..
In the C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS folder, I do see the masterpage file v4.master, and permissions are set to full control for the $owner.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated to resolve this issue. Thanks!
Hello,
I am trying to configure User Profile Connection.
When I have filled out the details in the connection form it errors by saying "Unable to find the Domain Controller for the specified domain. Please Explicitly specify the Domain Controller"
I have checked all the details and they are correct. Is there something I am missing in the setup ?
Anyone experienced this before or know of a fix ?
Thanks

Hi,
I have a standard out of the box approval workflow (2010 approval on SharePoint 2013) that occasionally assigns tasks twice. It doesn't do it every time so it is really hard to figure out why it does this. Also, the workflow is not starting twice, as if someone uploaded and then updated the document and triggered the workflow to run again. Instead the workflow starts once, assigns tasks to people, and then after about two minutes it assigns tasks to that same group of people again. The end result is two sets of tasks from the same workflow. The second set of tasks can be completed but the first task assigned gives an error that says:
Sorry, something went wrong
This task is currently locked by a running workflow and cannot be edited.
Do any of you have an idea on why

Trying to nail down an issue.
On our 2013 environment, we talk to two domains to get user profiles. From what I can see, I can add a user from either domain without incident. (BTW SP servers exist within Domain B)
When I attempt to add user groups to the site... I've seen the following
User Group from Domain A, will resolve in the little window that verifies the name, and can be added
User Group from Domain B, MAY resolve and display its name in the name verification window, but regardless of whether it verifies, when you hit save to add the permission, it doesn't appear in the permission list for the site.
I haven't tried to use any powershell commands yet to add the groups... more interested for the moment in resolving this issue with the gui
