Hi all,

I have restored a SP Foundation 2013 content database which was on another workstation into another workstation whereby SP Server 2013 Standard Edition has been installed. Immediate  and daily alerts were not enabled. I have done needful by adding these commands: 

stsadm -o setproperty -url http://weburl -pn immediate-alerts -pv "Every 5 minutes between 0 and 59"
stsadm -o setproperty -url http://weburl  -pn daily-alerts -pv "Everyday between 00:00:00 and 05:00:00"

These were successful.

But, I am unable to configure alerts for the administrators by adding the email address to the user account's profile. When I click on the 'About Me' near to the arrow of the username. I am getting error message in IE 'Error HTTP 404. Most likely causes: There might be a typing error in the address. If you clicked on a link, it may be out of date.' It is looking for the page 'http://weburl/my/Person.aspx'. Kindly advise on the error message. Why in SP Foundation, the 'My Settings' option is available to insert email address of the user profile?

We are trying to add a lot of forms to a list by adding in its schema.xml this:

<Forms>

<Form Type="EditForm" Url="Test.aspx" SetupPath="features\$SharePoint.Feature.DeploymentPath$\CustomList\Forms\Test.aspx" UseLegacyForm="TRUE" WebPartZoneID="Main" Default="FALSE" UseDefaultListFormWebPart="FALSE"/>

......

......

</Forms>

There shouldn't be a limit for the Form tag, but after like 90 forms we can't add anymore and when we try to enable the feature with the list we get an error while activating the list feature.<br />We also tried to add the forms by creating a module with the forms, and referencing them in the content types, the problem is that the file is not recognized as a form and therefore is not shown as a form should, with the ribbon and so on. Is there anyway to increase this limit or other alternative solution?

I have Project Server 2103 installed with additional language pack "Language2" . When I localize column labels in Project Site lists , like Risks list, it works fine. the label appears as Column1 when am using Language1 and Column2 when am using Language2.

But when I save the project site as template and use it for new projects , the column label shows the original language in all cases. Any solution for this?

Hi everyone,

my organization has a the CU patch level "November 2014" and I haven't done any patching yet.

Since last few weeks we are running into some IE issues when using SharePoint 2013 (EX: Loading the page/Gets hanged..)But it perfectly works on Google Chrome. Is there any impact on the IE as we did not do any SharePoint CU update since November 2014 ? Or what could be the other reasons.

please advice.

Thanks,

Mike

Hello,

Over the weekend, I attempted to change the URL and apply a new certificate to two of our web apps.  One web app, which we'll call "extranet," worked fine.  The second web app, which we'll call "intranet," had issues with the certificate - if you attempted to browse to the site, you'd get the generic "An error has been encountered" error along with the following log entry.  As I mentioned, this certificate worked fine for the other web application in the same farm and not only that, this same certificate worked fine in my development environment when I documented all the steps necessary to make these changes.  I'm a little lost - any ideas?

NOTES:

1.  The certificate, the intermediate, and the root certificate in the chain are all installed on the servers in the SharePoint farm.

2. I've read about trying to install all 3 certificates in the "Manage Trust" section of Central Admin, which I can try, but I'm skeptical this will fix the issue since as I mentioned, I'm seeing no problems with the other web app.  I'm hoping maybe there is a security setting for the web app somewhere that I'm forgetting.

3. I found an article with a snippet to add to the web.config to bypass certificate name checking, but this did not work for me.

Hi

Little question Concerning (get-spserver).needsupgrade VS (get-spserver $env:computername).needsupgrade in a 2 SharePoint server farm. SharePoint servers are vm01 and vm02. The sql server is on a third server called vm03.

Im trying to find out if i need to run psconfig:

Locally on vm01:

(get-spserver $env:computername).NeedsUpgrade

returns False.

Locally on vm02:

(get-spserver $env:computername).NeedsUpgrade

Returns:
False

On vm02

(get-spserver).NeedsUpgrade 

Returns:
True (vm01)
False (vm02)

On vm01

(get-spserver).NeedsUpgrade 

Returns:
False(vm01)
True (vm02)

Why will remote values show true for other servers?

My SSRS (in SharePoint integrated mode) database is stuck in a "Provisioning" status (PowerShell on how I found that out). SSRS still seems to work but the SharePoint best practice analyzer is telling me an upgrade is needed but the databases are not showing any upgrades needed. What can I do to get the DB out of "Provisioning" status? Should I upgrade it somehow? Or is there something else I can do here. (I have recently run "PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures -cmd secureresources" and that hasn't helped.) I appreciate any assistance in advance!

I ran the below command to find the status of my SSRS DB:

Hello,

A user is currently experiencing the following problem after using the Onedrive for business application included in the 2013 Office suite:

"OneDrive for Business needs to close because there isn't enough memory available. Please close some programs and restart.

Error Description: NOt enough storage is available to process this command.

I have researched and tried re-syncing the files with groove.exe /clean /all command but the message still intermittently appears. Note: I used the "groove.exe" program from the following directory: c:\program files\Microsoft office\office12\ instead of the "office15" directory because the "office15" directory was empty of files.

Hi, I am trying to manage a tenant installed app.

The business scenario prevents me using managed paths or templates -- I have to define individual site collections.

Can someone point me in the direction of a cmdlet (?) to do this?

All I can find is details to install web-scoped applications directly to the site collections.

Hi,

What is Windows Fabfic folder on SharePoint servers? Why it is creating trace logs at C:\ProgramData\Windows Fabric\Fabric\log\Traces location?

Hi,

In Sharepoint Online I need to modify Navigation for many sites. What I would like to do is to:

1. Mark "show subsites" in Global navigation section

And, additionally, It would be really helpfull (but not that much important) to

2. From Current navigation remove all Links

3. To Current navigation add only link to Wiki.

My question is, do You know any scripts/powershell snap-ins that could speed up and automate this?

Thank You for help,

regards,

Marek

Hi,

We are using Host-Named site collections to dissociate site collections URLs by categories (while keeping them on the same Web Application) on a SharePoint 2013 On Premise Farm :

http://contoso/, http://contoso-00/, http://contoso-10/, ...

We have both a default URL and an intranet URL for remote access, so that every category previously stated has its match in a different network :

http://contoso.local/, http://contoso-00.local/, http://contoso-10.local/, ...

The final site collections have their URLs like so:

http://contoso/, http://contoso-30/sites/mySiteCollection, http://contoso-10.local/sites/anotherSite, ...

To make it work, we made Alternate Access Mappings on the Web Application, setting http://contoso/ and http://contoso.local/ to their respective zones and created root site collections for each path (-00, -10, ...) with 2 site URLs, one for each zone previously defined.

Up until now, everything was working fine. 

Yesterday a site collection had 3 URLs for the same intranet zone (http://contoso-10.local/sites/a, http://contosoDEV-10.local/sites/a, http://contosoTEST-10.local/sites/a) (we're blaming our backup/restore process between our dev, test and production environments) so I removed the zone concerned on the root site collection (http://contoso-10.local/), effectively removing the duplicates on the problematic site collection.

The real problem though, is that I get a SQL error when I try to set back the URL for the zone on the root site collection.

"Transaction count after EXECUTE indicates a mismatching number of BEGIN and COMMIT statements. Previous count = 0, current count = 1."

I get the error whether I use "Set-SPSiteURL" or "SPSite.SetUrl()" in PowerShell. Interestingly enough, the URL is set for the root site collection, but not for the children site collections depending on this managed path.

As we can only modify URLs on root site collections, I don't see how I can unblock this situation.

The symptom is now that we can't access the site collections through the second path.

I use a PowerShell ISE session as Administrator, I tried the same in our development environment on different managed path and all give me the same error. Removing and setting back the Alternate Access Mappings on the Web Application changes nothing.

Searching for the same problem was very inconclusive as nobody seems to have this issue.

EDIT : I tried the following procedure to repair the issue but it came with another anomaly (and I would like not to have to backup/restore every site collection in the domain)

Since I couldn't reset the Alternate Access Mappings on the root site collections, I did a backup and delete on all the children collections, reset (successfully without error) the mappings, and restored the collections.

And I came back to the original problem : having 3 URLS defined for each site collection for the Intranet Zone :

$site = Get-SPSite http://contosoDEV-10/sites/a
$site.GetUrls()

Url                                        Zone
-------------                              ----------
http://contosoDEV-10.local/sites/a         Intranet
http://contosoDEV-10/sites/a               Default
http://contoso-10.local/sites/a            Intranet
http://contosoTEST-10.local/sites/a        Intranet

Which I can't understand as the Backup/Restore procedure is really just the PowerShell Cmdlet.

Anyone ? :)

Hello EveryOne,

I was working on Creating New Access Service Application, with application pool (Access Service App Pool), but just after restarting the IIS, i can't access the SharePoint central admin. i have been getting HTTP 404 Not found Error. I have been getting this pop-up window also. Do i need to re-install the .NET Frame work also. 

2. When creating New Service Application, i have given Application Database Server (SQL Instance 2012), but i get the error (Mixed Connection isn't enabled on Application Database Server). But i did change properties of SQL Instance to SQL and Windows Authentication, again it gives me the same error. PLease advice.

I'm facing this when creating Service Applications Procedure. Is there anything to do with service applications.

Hi. i am tasked to create a document library to manage document uploads.

inside this document library will contained various folders. each folder will have a column named "Security Classification".

the security classification will be determined when the user create the folder and subsequent upload to this folder will inherit the Security Classification of the folder.

my question

1. how do i set in Sharepoint such that user is required to enter the Security Classification whenever they create a folder in the Document Library?
2. how do i setup the inherit?

example Document Library name is HR Department. whenever user try to create a folder directly at HR Department he is required to specify the Security Classification. So when user create a folder in /HR Department he need to fill in the Security Classification. But if the create a folder in /HR Department/Misc, he do not need to specify the Classification, the classification should inherit from Misc. i tried with the Column Default Value Setting but it seems to affect the whole library.

further example

HR Department <- this is the document library

/HR Department/Misc <- Security Classification set to restricted

/HR Department/Misc/memo.doc <- Security Classification will be restricted upon file creation

/HR Department/Payroll <- Security Classification set to secret

/HR Department/Payroll/employeeA.pdf <- Security Classification will be set to secret upon file creation

Hello,

On 10/3/16 the "Remove Workflow" setting for all 2010 workflows in my production environment were changed to "Allow". This resulted in previous versions of workflows to run, causing thousands of emails to be sent out and hundreds of item updates. I've confirmed with my team that nobody updated anything to cause a mass list/library settings change. Has anyone experienced this and/or know how this could have happened?

Thanks,
Alicia

Hello,

I have been using SharePoint Designer 2013 to create workflows for SharePoint Online lists (SPD2013 is the only tool available to me). Any workflow I create, using the SharePoint 2013 platform type, fails to save. That goes for site and list workflows. I press Save, and SPD goes through the motions of saving, but when it's finished, the asterisk remains on the workflow tab -telling me that no save occurred.  When I press Publish, SPD once again, tries to save the workflow, with the same results. After attempting to save, if I close the workflow, I am prompted to save it again. Checking the associated list, confirms that no save or publish took place. I ended up losing all of my work.

No errors are ever returned.

This problem does not occur when I use the SharePoint 2010 platform type. 

Has anyone else encountered this, or know of fix?

Thanks!
