A colleague has accidentally deleted a site collection(SC) in our production environment. This SC had it's own content db. I have pulled a backup of the content db for that SC from before the site collection was deleted and restored it to the DB server. My question is how do I re-create the site collection using the already existing content database? Simply mounting the content db to the web app does not seem to work. The site existed at a managed path prior to deletion.
Thank you,

hi,
I am using a 3rd party tool for tracing communication between user browser and servers and I see that whenever a call is made to SP, a call is also made to another machine which is a remote access portal. I am unable to check where this configuration is there in the sharepoint.
I need this to be checked.
Any help? Thanks in advance.
We have a several lists within a SharePoint site that uses the "Assigned To" field. This field has settings of type:"Person or Group", no unique values, allows multiple selections, People Only, and the"Choose From" field is set to a SharePoint group with four members in the group. The "Show field" field is set to "Name(with presence)".
Originally, when editing the form and adding "Assigned To" users, the people picker was able to resolve users when beginning to enter their names. Perfect. Following the December 2016 CU, we edit the form it can no longer resolve names from that Group.
If we set the "Choose from" field within the column settings to "All Users", the form is able to then resolve names correctly as it searches all AD accounts/AD groups. Switching it back to a SharePoint group then causes the issue again. I've found that the only way around it was to go to that specific group, remove the user account and then re-add the account. After doing this, the account now resolve and populates when beginning to type the name into the Assigned To field. Though, this only resolves for that one user account. Other account that have not yet been removed and added still have the issue.
I'm wondering if anyone has ever ran into this and if there is a PowerShell script of sorts to re-sync user accounts within the permission group.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I know that this is not a really SharePoint question, but I didn't found any corresponding forum for that.
I have a PS Script, that creates SPSites. I want to execute this script on my local computer and it should connect to the SharePoint Server with other credentials.
Here is a snippet:
$cred = Get-Credential
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName Server -Credential $cred
Add-PSSnapin microsoft.sharepoint.powershell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Import-Csv "c:\temp\sp\create-SpTeam.csv" -Delimiter ";" | % {
code...
}
It connects to the server with my credentials, but there is problem with the path on the server.
The path could not be found.
When I enter the cmdlets manually step by step, it works fine.
Any idea?
Hello,
I just want to know if there is any way we can add the query suggestion automatically. I know we have to do import/export query suggestion test file.
but Is there a way if the keyword is search for X time then It automatically adds up in the query suggestion list without doing manually import?
Thanks.
Hi,
We're having an issue with one users account where by they are experiencing an issue when opening a excel report in Sharepoint which works correctly for others but for this specific user they're getting a data refresh error (the technical detail is detailed below). This has been attempted on multiple machines but the bellow error appears.
Error: Object must implement IConvertible.. The exception was raised by the IDataReader interface.
The current operation was cancelled because another operation in the transaction failed.
We've attempted to open it through excel desktop applications but we still get the error. As the report will show up but without the most up-to-date information. Would anyone know why this is failing ?

Hi I have a situation where I was able to get the SP 2010 features fixes around 45 out of 59. I don't have any clue and manager doesn't want me to clean up as well. What if I continue migrate these a few errors? Are there any long term and short term issues? I was told to address after migration for those left out features/solutions if required. Please let me know.
Thanks

Hello,
Currently I have an SP2010 production server setup and its name : http://intranet.mycompany.com and we are going to migrate to SP 2013 next weekend. Currently I have been testing withhttp://intranetSP13.mycompany.com
I just want to set readonly to the SP2010 production instance. So I still have that DNS active. Should I create the final migration web application/site application url with different name like I have been doing with testing and change host header and AAM and map DNS once the old DNS is cleared?
My only worry is when the entire web application, site collection is setup with name intranetsp13, all other internal references within list, libraries scripts wont be changing when dns change happened.
What are the thoughts and recommended way to handle this? Please expert advise.
Thanks
Shri
Hi,
I know usually people experience related issue the other way around, but somehow in my SP farm I wasn't able to receive the initial confirmation email when I add an user alert, but I do receive the alert emails when something is added / updated.
That means SharePoint sending email function is working...
Any idea? Thanks!
