Hi

I've tried to follow this from SteveMann's: http://stevemannspath.blogspot.dk/2012/12/sharepoint-2013-videos-in-sharepoint.html

But the Media failed to load...so I'm obviously doing something wrong in the link.

Should I map the Network Share local on the server first or just direct to the Share at port 1234?

Is is the Server name or the SharePoint site that need to be included in the video link?

so It would be:

http://WebAppname or sitecollectionname/videos/myVideonamefromNetworkshare.mp4

≪ Previous: See videos in SharePoint from network share

In our organization, we set up document centers and records centers and control documents based on content types and retention field settings. Document Centers have Content Organizer with associated rules and settings configured. We used SharePoint Designer Workflows to move documents once users finish with these documents, employing the Submit using Move and Leave a Link method. Some document centers work fine. Some document libraries in document centers work fine and other document libraries within the same document libraries do not. For those document libraries with workflows that error, we see something similar to the following error below:

The request failed with HTTP status 400: Bad Request.

We are also seeing these errors in ULS logs.

Trusted provider is missing.
Reverting to process identity
OfficialFile::SubmitFile: Encountered WebException when sending file
Critical The http://sitename site is not properly configured for this request.

We’ve performed the following checks:

Has anyone encountered this problem and how have you solved it?

Extension Fields, Content Types, and Field Ordering

January 18, 2017, 4:36 am

≫ Next: Sql reporting service SharePoint integrated mode error : An error occurred within the report server database. This may be due to a connection failure, timeout or low disk condition within the database.;

≪ Previous: using youtube-api-search in yeoman template sharepoint framework

I have two lists in the same Subsite. One (List A) has Content Type Management enabled; and long story short, I need to add a lookup from that list (List A) to the other List (List B); and I want to enable one of the List B fields as an Extension Field, so I can see that field in List A's Display form, and in List A's Views; depending on the selected Lookup value.

Now, it seems that Extension Fields aren't displayed in the Content Type's 'Column Order' page, even if the field is definitely in the Content Type, visible in SPD when viewing thing Content Type, visible in Views and in the List's list of fields.

The steps required to get it to show and work correctly are as follows; and require Disabling and Re-Enabling Content Type Management each time:

• If you have added the Extension Field already, then first delete it.
• Disable Content Type Management in the List (within the List’s Advanced settings)
• Add 2 Extension Fields (The Extension field you want, plus any other random one), and click OK
• Go back in and remove the additional one you just added above that you don't need, and click OK
• Re-Enable Content Type Management in the List (within the List’s Advanced settings)

Its a bit of a hack I think; but it does work - on the downside, every time this is done, the field orders get lost, and they all need to be re-ordered as we switch between Content Type Management being disabled and enabled - really not ideal.

Can anyone explain if this is a bug, a feature, or if I need to be concerned about this? I have reproduced the functionality in different site collections, different web apps, different farms.

Separately, but on the same topic - can anyone explain why Extension Fields are not available for field ordering if not using Content Types?

Any thoughts welcome.

Thanks

David

Hi,

I am migrating and mounting content databases from SharePoint 2010 in "Classic" mode to Web Application SharePoint 2013 in "Claims" mode

I am following standard steps suggested by Microsoft by referring this link

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262483.aspx

When I migrate first content database and mount it to web application in SharePoint 2013, I also execute powerhsell command to MigrateUsers and then the users are migrated to claims mode from classic mode. i.e the name format changes from "domain\fn.ln" to "i:0#.w|domain\fn.ln"...so far so good.

But when i migrate 2nd database [again in classic mode and also note that it is gradual migration of content database form SP 2010 to SP 2013] from SharePoint 2010 and attach to web application in SharePoint 2013 [already in claims mode] ...observation here is...whatever groups and users exiting site collection contains are maintained as is...i.e the users of 2nd site collection are still in old format i.e. "domainname/fn.ln"...

so question is.

1. Do we need to execute the powershell command [$WebApplication.MigrateUsers($true) everytime we attach new content databases to the existing web application in SharePoint 2013?

2. Even after doing so...users in 2nd site collection are not migrated to claims mode, however any new users which are added to the site collection are already in claims mode [s the web application in in claims mode]

So how do we ensure that all users are migrated to claims mode for all migrated site collections

Can someone share there thoughts/observations around this??

Thanks!!

My User Profile Service Application (NOT the synchronisation Service) stopped working so I deleted and tried to recreate it using PowerShell.

I have tried a number of times - deleting it before I start again (and the Databases). Using the Central Administration deletion does not work so I use a mixture of STADM -o deleteconfigurationobject -Id {ID of USer Profile Service Application} and then a PowerShell script to delete the timer jobs. (PowerShell Remove-SPServiceApplication fails with a The SPPersistedObject with id, {Id}, could not be found.)I have tried creating the User Profile Service Application using Central Administration and using PowerShell (running under the <Domain NAme>\SP_Farm account so the schema on SYncDB is correct).There are no CRITICAL or UNEXPECTED items in the Logs.

The last relevant item in the ULS logs is a message saying it is waiting for a timer job to finish.

"Waiting for service application instance provisioning job to complete for service application with name 'User Profile Service' and type 'Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.UserProfileApplication' "

The SPTimer service is still running.

I am running SP2013 with the September 2016 CU.

Is it possible to manage permissions on a document library like this or will it work with different document libraries.

Updating External Content Type (BCS)

January 19, 2017, 8:19 am

≫ Next: SharePoint Exchange strange task sync behavior

≪ Previous: User Profile Synchronization Service stuck on starting

I have an existing external content type that I built in SP Designer. Its purpose is to allow me to map certain user properties in the User Profile application to our HR LOB system. I now need to add a new field/column to map to everyone's user profile, birthdate. I have updated the external content type in SP Designer and have added the new column to the list of columns. I then saved it and updated the model in the BCS. I can also see that new column listed in the list of fields.

The problem I'm having is that when I go into the User Profile application and create my new property, I cannot see that new column in the list of fields I can map to. It's showing me all the columns that were available at the time I first published the external content type. Is there an easy way to get the User Profile application to recognize my new list of fields so I can map to it? My fear is that I would have to delete the BCS object, re-publish and then re-do all of my user profile property mappings.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi,

we have a strange situation at a customer site.

We have configured the trust between SharePoint and Exchange as described in TechNethttps://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj554516.aspx of course.

Following scenarios are working:

Create new task in a SharePoint list, aggration in the MySite task list and synching to Exchange
Modify an existing SharePoint Task, aggration in MySite and synching to Exchange
Modifiying an existing (already synched) SharePoint task with Outlook (Exchange), updates on MySite Task list and updating the SharePoint list

What is not working as expected:

Creation of a new task in an already synchronised SharePoint list with Outlook (Exchange). This task will not be synched back to the 'WmaAggregatorList_User' list at MySite and therefor not to the SharePoint list. Customer did a WireShark trace and on a first view only saw "HTTP ok" messages.

Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this kind of error are welcome.

Thx,
