Hello,

I have a big issue which I would like to hear about your ideas.

Case: I copy or upload a Office File (Word, Excel...) in a Document Llibrary of an target Site Collection. I then have the problem that the managed metadata of the file are mixed with terms of even different termsets. Back ground information: the Content types are everywhere the same located in the Site Collection Root.

I figgered out that this is happening because of the ID of the terms which are stored inside the offices documents. The term will be stored in the custome properties. It is strored as: ID#Terms|TERMGUID; ... if SharePoint would look up the Guid it everything would be fine but it is taking the TermID which is a local ID of the Site Collecation located at the taxonomyhiddenlist.
If you now manually delete this entry in the file it will work out or you deactived Document Promtion. BUT I cannot tough everyfile on copy or upload to clean it up and I would like to avoid deactivation of the DocPromtion because the Picture Libraries will not work anymore (means that is not creating thumbnails and not showing the image properties).

Does anybody would have an idea to solve this issue?
Is is possible to turn off the hidden taxonomy list?

Best regards, Robert

Hi,

I am having a SharePoint site, where the users data are not synchronized with that of Active directory. I am not using User profile service. To update a single user data, I am following the below script:

$user = Get-SPUser -Identity "domain\user_name" -Web http(s)://site_collection_url


Set-SPUser -Identity $user -SyncFromAD -Web http(s)://site_collection_url 

The above script is taken from http://lazysharepointadmin.com/blog/2013/03/22/update-sharepoint-user-information-from-active-directory/#comment-4175

I would like to know how to update for all users in the site collection? Rather than updating for single user, is there any script which can be run for all users?

Will the MembershipGrupId=0 cover all users who have access to the site collection? If yes, is it possible to loop through this and sync the AD?

Thanks

We have an issue with people picker in Sharepoint. 

We've about 50 users "Omair" with one name with "Omair.". When we tried to share with these users, if we search withOmai
it only shows 30 users.

If we search with Omair. (name with ends with dot not serachable)
it only shows 0 users.

Why only 30 users search instead of 50.

Really strange behavior and it leaves the impression that some users don't exist and it's not the case. 

Thanks.

Hello,

I had created a seperate MySites Web application from my actual sharepoint site. I'm a bit confused what is going on and why it is not showing up. I have the Certificate properly installed in IIS and is binded to the site. I've created the Site Collection, set up the permissions policy, user policy, and the self-service site creation.

So How I have it set up is AggieShare is my mail web application and mysites is on it's own. I added a wildcard inclusion called mysites for the mysites web app. Do I needed to add that same wildcard inclusion on aggieshare's managed paths?

Hi all,

I have 3 servers whereby SharePoint Foundation 2013 (Server 1), SQL Server Mgt Studio (Server 2) and SharePoint Server 2013 (Server 3) are installed respectively.

Before I was using SharePoint Foundation 2013 on  Server 1 and now we have moved to SharePoint Server 2013 (Server 3). Server 1 is now redundant. Since I am using the same database server for both SharePoint applications, it seems that there are many orphaned databases created.

Recently, my database server has lost trust relationship on its domain and I had to run the SharePoint Configuration Wizard to make SharePoint Server 2013 (Server 3) up and running. Maybe this wizard configuration has created databases again.

Is there any possibility to know which respective databases belong to SharePoint Foundation 2013 and SharePoint Server 2013 (Server 3) and how to discard the orphaned databases?

Thanks to advise.

I'm using SharePoint 2013 Enterprise and have a list that accepts attachments. I have turned on the site collection feature "Open documents in Client Applications by Default" but the attachments link still forces it to Excel Services...which is not configured on my web application.

In Central Administration Client Integration is set to Yes. 

I would like to avoid making changes in Central Administration if at all possible.

This is a list NOT a Document Library.

Love them all...regardless. - Buddha

I have a SharePoint 2013 farm. Last week it came to my attention that "+ new document" button is not working as expected. (The "New Document" button in the ribbon is still working properly.)

When you click on "+ new document" it opens up a menu with the following options:

Create a new file
Word document
Excel workbook
PowerPoint presentation
OneNote notebook
-----------------------
New folder
UPLOAD EXISTING FILE

• "New folder" and "UPLOAD EXISTING FILE" are working as expected
• None of the Office Application links are working. When you click on "Word document" for example, it pops open a window, and inside the window it displays the landing page for the site in which the document library lives. It does not launch Office Web Apps, nor does it attempt to launch the Word client.

So if my Library URL is https://AppName.DomainName.com/SubSiteName/LibraryName, when I try to create a new document, this is the address that is being displayed in the pop-up window:
https://AppName.DomainName.com/SubSiteName/Pages/default.aspx?SaveLocation=%2FSubSiteName%2FLibraryName&DefaultItemOpen=1&Source=https%3A%2F%2FAppName%2EDomainName%2Ecom%2FSubSiteName%2FLibraryName%2FForms%2FAllItems%2Easpx&TemplateType=1&IsDlg=1

I opened up the developper tool and this is the code for the "Excel workbook" button:

<a class="ms-newdoc-callout-item ms-displayBlock" id="js-newdocWOPI-divExcel-WPQ1" onclick='CalloutManager.closeAll(); OpenPopUpPageWithTitle("/SubSiteName?SaveLocation=%2FSubSiteName%2FLibraryName&DefaultItemOpen=1&Source=https%3A%2F%2FAppName%2EDomainName%2Ecom%2FSubSiteName%2FLibraryName%2FForms%2FAllItems%2Easpx%3FInitialTabId%3DRibbon%252EDocument%26VisibilityContext%3DWSSTabPersistence&TemplateType=2", OnCloseDialogNavigate); return false;' href="#"><img class="ms-verticalAlignMiddle ms-newdoc-callout-img" id="js-newdocWOPI-divExcel-img-WPQ1" alt="Create a new Excel workbook" src="/_layouts/15/images/lg_icxlsx.png?rev=23"><h3 class="ms-displayInline ms-newdoc-callout-text ms-verticalAlignMiddle ms-soften" id="js-newdocWOPI-divExcel-txt-WPQ1">Excel workbook</h3></a>

Can anyone confirm that the url parameter in the "OpenPopUpPageWithTitle" function is correct?

Any ideas on what could be causing this? Or how to fix it?

O365 identities were enforced on Yammer on Monday night, everything’s working ok except embedded Yammer feeds on our SharePoint on-prem platform aren’t logging in automatically despite use SSO being in the config. Do you have any ideas how to resolve this?

Hello -

For some reason, searches from our site no longer works.   Users are getting this error:

Search has encountered a problem that prevents results from being returned. If the issue persists, please contact your administrator

I checked the Search Service Application and found the following system status:

We're using an internal http site and never had to set up any certificates or trust relationships for this specific site.   Any suggestions?  thanks

Hi i can't get my charts from the excel file, when I open on the browser, i followed these instructions, but no success. This have any solution, but not the one, that makes me create a new chart on the excel file.

Sometimes SharePoint throws some weird errors while installing solution.

To fix this, we could enter this server and restart <g class="gr_ gr_325 gr-alert gr_spell gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" data-gr-id="325" id="325">timerjob</g> for example.

There is lot of different errors, but most of them could be <g class="gr_ gr_370 gr-alert gr_spell gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" data-gr-id="370" id="370">skiped</g> by using parameter -force

Is it a good practice or should we do everything just not to use this -force parameter with "install-spsolution" ?

Hi All,

Need your help and guidance on issue I came across today. SharePoint 2013 environment was configured with SQL Cluster, all good. cluster was configured with 2 servers SQLA and SQLB  . so SQLCluster = SQLA+SQLB.

After some time for some reason when SQLA went down whole SharePoint farm went down. I notice that in the manage content database , database upgrade page or any place where it shows database name, it is showing SQLA , instead of SQLCluster. and that make sense when SQLA went down whole Farm went down.

Now to fix this and point every thing in the farm towards SQL cluster , for

• Web Applications :

I can dismount and mount database  again using cluster name with database server parameter and it will fix it.

• Service Applicaitons :

Is there wasy way to move all service applications related databases from SQLA to SQLCluster ??

• Config Database :

Is there a way to move config database from pointing to SQLA to SQL Cluster ? I am trying not to run the config wizard as it might cause other issues.

Any help/thoughts on moving DBs for service applications and config database?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I am trying to create a error logger file, which will contain the list of errors when the powershell was run.

I tried the below code, but it is not working:

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
clear
foreach ($user in $SPWeb.AllUsers){
$SPWeb = Get-SPWeb "Site collection"
#other powershell commands

 Set-SPUser -Identity $user -SyncFromAD -Web site collection -EA 0 -EV Err
    Write-Host "Updated for User: $user"

        if ( $Err )
        {
         ConfigureLogger
         LogError $Err[0].Exception
         Write-Host "Not updated for user : $user" -ForegroundColor DarkCyan $_.Exception
        }

}

$SPWeb.Dispose()


function LogError($message)
{
     $date= Get-Date
     $outContent = "[$date]`tError`t`t $message`n"
     Add-Content "Log\$Script:logFile" $outContent
}

function ConfigureLogger()
{

     if((Test-Path Log) -eq $false)
     {
           $LogFolderCreationObj=New-Item -Name Log -type directory
     }

     $Script:logFile="UpdateErrorScripts.log"

     Add-Content "Log\$logFile" "Date`t`t`tCategory`t`tDetails"
}

The line is hitting "ConfigureError" function, but giving error as :

ConfigureLogger : The term 'ConfigureLogger' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path

How to fix this?
