Import SharePoint 2013 subsite to a new site collection without data

$

0

Hi All,

I have to import a subsite from 1 site collection to another but without data. Basically we need to have the site's look and feel (customized with css, js, html), overall design and structure. Data should be avoided.

Is there a powershell script which could help us do it?

Another Option - Saving the source site as template (without data) and then bringing the template to the destination site collection

and then creating a new site from it? But I guess since we will be saving site w/o data, its css, js, html code will not come along. Am I right?

PowerPivot Gallery "No Items to Show We can't open this workbook."

I am setting up a SP 2013 (Enterprise) install, and created a PowerPivot Site Site Collection. Everything seems to be working - I upload one Excel file to the PowerPivot Gallery, and that is fine. It renders the display images correctly. But then if I try to open the Excel file, I get the error:

No Items to Show
We can't open this workbook. It's set to show only certain named items, but they aren't in the workbook.
You might want to contact the author for more information.

I tried to "Open & Repair" the .xlsx file in Excel 2013 on my desktop, and then re-upload, but that did not fix things. I have no problem with other Excel files I've tried. Any suggestions here?

As the title describes, the "AppFabric Caching Service" won't start on one of our front end servers.  Something else also seems to be stopping our "SharePoint Search Service 15" to stop and get disabled. I think they are correlating but not sure... Any ideas?  Trying to tread lightly as this is a production environment.  



Adding New SSL Certificate deletes the HTTP80 and HTTP809 sites in IIS on OfficeWebApp Server

$

We are using SharePoint 2013 on premise with three VM server configuration (Server 2012 R2). One server is SP 2013, second srv is SQL 2014, and third is an OfficeWebApp server. Our certificate that binds the SLL certificate expires in a month so we went and received another updated SSL certificate for 2 years. We downloaded our certificate with private key and exported as a pfx certificate to upload it into IIS to bind it to the expiring certificate. When the new certificate is in IIS with the same name and new date out to 2020 we bind it to the https sites. All settings in SP 2013 still work. However, when we reboot the OWA server and check IIS the HTTP80 and HTTP809 sites disappear and Office Web app activities in SP do not function. I restored the server from backup and got everything working again. But I'm not sure why both sites disappear after binding the new SSL certificate to the sites?  Please assist.

Hosted named site collection for an existing web application site

Hi 

I was going throw this article https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/administration/host-named-site-collection-architecture-and-deployment and it explains more on creating new web application and setup.

In my environment, I have a web application, root site collection already. I just want to create a new site collection under the same webapp with HNSC. I executed the powershell command which created the HNSC based site collections successfully. I can see from central admin that the hosted named site collection created under view all site collections.

New-SPSite -url $SiteURL -HostHeaderWebApplication $HostURL -owneralias $OwnerID -owneremail $OwnerMail -Template $TemplateVal 

However when I tried to access http://hnsc.portal.com it redirects "Page cant be displayed". I then added a host entry in the SP server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx hnsc.portal.com  and it redirects "website not found error"

Will you please suggest me what configurations I am missing?

Is there any IIS binding or Alternate access mapping I should configure? Does it require DNS entry in domain? Will you please provide me steps?

Thanks

Intermittent error - This page can't be displayed in SharePoint 2013

Hi,

We have recently been experiencing this error message below both in our Staging and Production site. It happens intermittently in production and more often in our staging site by just browsing a page or just a list item or even just loading a new page.

Can someone please help me figure out what's causing this issue and how to solve it?

Thanks in advance.

Use of Host Named Site Collections in SharePoint Online

$

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone could clear this up for me.

The current MS recommendation is for us all to use HNSC as "this is the way it is done in Office 365".

Yet, all the documentation I have found indicates that HNSC are not available for SharePoint Online (part of Office 365). See the following:

===================================================


http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5e1ee081-cab8-4c1b-9783-21c38ddcb8b0#bkmk_Featurecomparison
Modified: 2014-06-20
Tables shows HNSC not available in any Office 365 packages

===================================================

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sharepoint-online-content-service-description.aspx
Modified: 2014-06-20
Not available to SharePoint Online customers. SharePoint Server 2013 can create host-named site collections with the host header.

Host-named site collections in SharePoint provide URL management and scalability of sites within a single web application. This

feature is not available to SharePoint Online customers.

====================================================


My company has just started using SharePoint Online Plan 2 and can confirm it is not possible to use HNSC.

So... why are MS recommending HNSC when you cannot actually implement them in SharePoint Online???

Am I missing something here?

Thanks in advance!

Backup-SPFarm is raising the following error "FatalError: Backup failed for Object Crawl-0"

$

I have sharepoint 2013 on-premises farm. and i run the below command to do a full farm backup, as follow:-

$ssa = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -Identity "Search Service Application"
Suspend-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -Identity $ssa
Backup-SPFarm -Directory  \\****fileserv111\FarmBackUp\ -BackupMethod full -BackupThreads 10 -Force

but the farm backup failed with this error:-

17/10/2018 20:45:20] Finished with 0 warnings.
[17/10/2018 20:45:20] Finished with 12 errors.
[17/10/2018 20:45:20] FatalError: Backup failed for Object Crawl-0 (C: on ourservername) failed in event OnBackupComplete. For more information, see the spbackup.log or sprestore.log file located in the backup directory.
[17/10/2018 20:45:20] -------------------------------------------------

now i remember that i received this error in the past, and at that time i found that the problem is related if the search service is running while i am doing the farm backup. so after that i added the below code before starting the actual farm back-

$ssa = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -Identity "Search Service Application"
Suspend-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -Identity $ssa

and since then i did not receive this error again .. but today this error came back.. so can anyone adivce on this please?

Thanks

No SharePoint Properties Found - Affects Only Some Site Collections

$

This is a side branch from a problem previously posted under here.

As discussed in a previous forum discussion, the overall problem of No SharePoint Properties Found was finally resolved in the latest cu's pushed out September/October 2018 timeframes, and O365 updates of 1808 through 1810. 

However, our organization noted that some site collections in a specific web application continue to have this problem of "No SharePoint Properties Found" while other site collections within the same web application are now fixed. 

Let me restate the problem.  We open a word document from a specific site collection and when Word O365 is open, the dip panel will show the error below:

No SharePoint Properties Found

We're not sure what the problem is and here are steps we have taken to try and resolve this issue:

  • We have verified that lists have Settings | Content Types | ContentTypeName | Document Information Panel settings | Always show Document Information Panel on document open and initial save for this content type (checked).
  • We have validated that Require Use Remote Interfaces permissions and Enable Client Integration checked under the default zone.
  • We have deactivated individual Solutions in the Gallery.
  • We have examined and compared document templates in cts folder for content types.
  • We have refreshed all content types from the content hub.

Any other suggestions about for resolving this issue would be welcomed.

No SharePoint Properties Found

Hi, we have a lot of experience working with Content Types on sharepoint web applications and we decided to create an application using Forms Based Authenthication as well as Windows Authentication (NTLM) claims based authentication (in the default zone) on a sharepoint 2013 web application. However the new application is not integrating well with Office 365, and we're wondering if anyone might know why?

We have Require Use Remote Interfaces permissions and Enable Client Integration checked under the default zone.

In our Library, we have Always show Document Information Panel on document open and initial save for this content type checked, for the content types in question.

No SharePoint properties found.

However, when we open a Word document from the Library using Office 365 Version 1804 or 1803 (for that matter), we see the message thatNo SharePoint properties are found.

These are the features we have enabled on the web application.

 I've searched other threads about the issue of 'Failed to create sample data' at step 8 of the configuration wizard. Many came forward to say "share the Analytics_GUID" folder with the admin account on the server.

I've looked in the folder path Program Files > Windows Sharepoint Service > 15.0 > Data

There is no Analytics_(GUID),  to share. 

This is my error

Failed to create sample data.

An exception of type System.NullReferenceException was thrown.  Additional exception information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Incremental & Full search are running before the schedule

$

I am working on a sharepoint farm 2013 on-premises enterprise edition. and i am facing a problem that my incremental & full crawl is not running on the schdule.
  • I have a single search service:-

enter image description here

  • and i define the search to run each 10 minutes starting from 00:00. so it should run @ 11:00, 11:10, 11:20 .. etc, as follow:-

enter image description here

but the problem is that the incremental crawl is running on time @ 11:05 ,11:15, 11:25 etc as follow:-

enter image description here

and when the incremental crawl correct time is met, nothing will run,but the above "next incremental crawl" time will be updated only. also i define to run the full crawl dally @ 2:00 am but at 1:55 the full crawl will start.

I try to stop the timer job and clear the cache folder. also i tried to do IIS reset and also restart the search services. but nothing is able to fix this problem.. i am not sure why i have a feeling that there are 2 search services running in a way or another; one is performing the actual search (before the schedule) while the second service is only updating the "next Incremental/Full crawl" date/time... can anyone help me in fixing this issue?

We noticed a
new user ID with tons of these contacts created automatically today on our
SharePoint 2013 - 2 WFE NLB production server. Any idea on this service account
or contact? I double checked IT and nobody was created these. The First Name
details listed as subsite title. The screenshot shows similar to the screen
below:<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

Any idea on
what these recordcenter and user ID? Is it required? It was created on October
10th 2018 at 1pm. <o:p></o:p>

Just to give
you more background, we applied  Windows Server 2012 security
patches on WFE servers and Sept 2018 security SP security patches and Sept
2018 SP CU updates after testing in development. we didn't notice any
issues after successful completion. after after 2 days we noticed these new
user id association with recordcenter name association.<o:p></o:p>

We really
want to remove and block it if nothing related to SP.<o:p></o:p>

I really
appreciate any help on this.<o:p></o:p>
