Sharepoint Extranet and logon audit

Hello,

We have SharePoint 2010 extranet set up with 12k+ users all external user are stored in Data base with Farm based authentication, working fine. 

My question is that how can i check if ABC external user has not log in to the site from the last X number of days. So I can remove him, just thinking to clean up this data base since many users are no more accessing this site.

is there any way to automate this process to check if ABC has not log in to htt://extranet , remove that user or generate a report ?

Any Help ...

User Profile Sync says 168 profiles but I can't see them

I am setting up our Sharepoint 2010 sites at the moment and have configured User Profile Service to bring in AD users.

I did spend a lot of time reading and setting the right permissions and it took a while to get to where I am now.

If I go into the User Profile Service app at the top right of the page I see 'Number of user Profiles' 168.

If I go into Manage User Profiles, I can see the accounts that have been imported

But If I do a people search, only 2 users appear and these are myself and my colleague who has also logged in to setup the sites.

What do I need to do to be able to search all people imported from AD?

Thanks

Dave

Options to addres extremely large audit log

June 13, 2013, 4:14 pm

I'm working with a 2010 Farm that has an audit log just over 250 GB in size.  They've tried running a powershell script using the SPAudit.DeleteEntried() but have found that it locks their tables and shut down their farm until they stopped it. 

Some environments may be able to start the script and let it run overnight or on a weekend but that's not possible here.  This farm is 24 X 7 for practical purposes. 

As far as the timer job goes, to be safe I have to assume that it will have the same result as the powershell script.  It's possible it approaches the process differently and won't lock, but I haven't been able to find anything that says that.

Of course from a dba point of view a person starts to think about doing a TRUNCATE, but that's not supported.

Before I place a call to Microsoft I wanted to drop the issue out here and see if anyone's seen any resources or guidelines for trimming extremely large audit logs.

Thanks,

Nate

SharePoint Foundation Master Page Picker unexpected error occured

June 24, 2012, 10:39 pm

I am running SharePoint Foundation 2010 and use the Master Page Picker solution from Codeplex (http://blog.thedesigndrifter.com/?p=1112) in order to assign a different master page to certain sites. I do this because from what I understand is that Publishing Service is required in order to deal with different master pages (except you do this manually for each and any site via SharePoint Designer), and Foundation does not provide this service.
Master Page Picker worked fine for a while but since some time it throws me an exception once I call it like:

Error
An unexpected error has occurred.
Troubleshoot issues with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation.
Correlation ID: ca8ce663-f3db-4d60-a18b-fe19e43a6fdc
Date and Time: 22.06.2012 16:59:21

But the interesting thing is that this exception does not come with every site collection. It started with the root site collection and no I figured out that I have this exception on about 50 % of my sites. For the other 50 % Master Page Picker works fine.

Does anyone have a hint how I could start debugging this issue. Actually, all I want is to assign a custom master page to my sites, it does not necessary need to work via Master Page Picker. I have created a custom v4_custom.master page in the top level collection which now show with this blue exclamation mark in the SharePoint Designer because it's not based on the site definition anymore... With Master Page Picker I could once assign this page to the top level site collection and from there it would be inherited to all sub-sites which are already created. Since Master Page Picker does not work anymore for the top level site my inheritance is gone. So, a solution for SharePoint Foundation where I can work with a custom master page to be applied on a site and being inherited to all it's already and later to be created sub-sites would do it.

Thanks, Dieter

Migrated from Classic 2007 to Claims sp2010 environment.

I am having a lot of users in classic format in the claims sp2010 environment which shows as a duplicate items in user search - people picker.

How do i get these duplicate entries removed?

Also for the case of users from non prod domain migrated to prod with sharepoint backup.

Can we delete the users from "_layouts/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=0" All site Collection users ?

I have read it some blogs/forums that it has been hidden in SP2010 unlike moss 2007 for some reason.

Please suggest methods to clear these unwanted users in site collection databases.

Note : i have more than 100 content databases and hundreds of of users in those content dbs which are unwanted.

Revert back to SharePoint - VMware - Virtual machines

Hi

I have read the post; 'SharePoint farm Backup/Restore with VMware Snapshots'

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointadminprevious/thread/e5abf633-9023-4f24-a707-2680cced28e8

And i am thinking,

Firstly an SQL server takes full backup once a day +sql transaction log every 2 hours.

To ensure onself of being safe, could it be possible to do the following:

1) Turn Off all SharePoint VM (2 Frontend webservers and 1 Application server)

2) Take snapshots of the VM's, then turn them on again.

3) Do the update/solution deployment.....

If SharePoint Farm fails (Disaster recovery), then do the following:

4) Turn off VM's. Restore SQL databases using the 'newest' SQL transaction log that was recorded before 'update/solution'.

5) Revert VM's to the snapshot taken in 2).

6) Turn on VM

When talking about the VMs I am only talkin about the 3 SharePoint VM's.

Will this work? Will there still be a sync. problem?

FIM Services not starting!

November 27, 2011, 6:52 pm

I've been working on this issue since last week!!!!

I was able to install and have FIM and AD Profile sync without any issues on another server/domain (Corporate). Just last week, I was asked to install SharePoint 2010 in another network and did everything in accordance on how I installed  our Corporate SharePoint. Weirdly enough, I can't get FIM and AD Profile sync to work! The 2 services are there but it refuses to run.

I've been trying to "Start" the User Profile Synchronization Service via SharePoint Central Admin. It stays on the "Starting..." status for 10-15mins (which is common) but after that time, it returns to "Stopped" status. I set the 2 FIM services with"Domain\admin" log-on and set it to start Automatically but after the USS "stopped", FIM is set automatically set to "Disabled.

I know that in order to get the 2 FIM services to run, you need to "Start" USS on the Central Admin but it just won't start :(

Another thing I noticed is that even if I have the 2 FIM services, I still don't have the FIMSYNBrowswe, FIMSyncJoiners, FIMSynbcOperators and FIMSyncPasswordSet groups in my server BUT I do have them on my other (with working profile sync) SP server. Are they supposed to appear AFTER I have FIM running?

Anyone experienced the same trouble? Were you able to solve it? I've tried quite a lot of fixes but none worked :( Does it have something to do with how the "Domain\admin" rights on the Domain Controller? Do I need to have our Network Admin assist me on configuring the permission for "Domain\admin" account?

Thanks in advance! It's really frustrating since I got everything to work on another Domain but I can't get it to work on this one! I already cancelled and moved the SharePoint User Presentation twice already just because of this issue :(

I forgot to add some items:

  1. Server is running on MS Server 2008 
  2. Machine is added into the domain
  3. Server IS NOT a domain controller
  4. "Domain\admin" is set as SharePoint server admin AND Domain admin
  5. DB is SQL Server 2008 R2 
  6. Server just went Windows Update and had the latest updates installed

Access Denied errors

Setup a new SP2010 environment and created several site collections. Everything was configured and worked fine. The users I gave permissions to could log in successfully.

Noticed that the service accounts were not correct (ie. app pool services not using my AppPool active directory accounts).  Modified the farm admin account to the appropriate AD account, also the various apppool services.

After doing so, no one can view the site collections. Not even my account, which is a site and farm administrator. Rolled back the changes to the service accounts and rebooted the server.  However, it still displays "Access Denied" on all site collections.

Help! I really don't want to start over.

MySite Host Change and Redirection Options

So, to dovetail off of the following discussion:

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointadminprevious/thread/deced107-b3b8-48aa-9cd8-141f18b042a7

We recently migrated our mysite from classic to SAML Claims (3rd party TIP - Siteminder).  In that process, we physically (from a web app level) changed the mysite url from mysite.oldportal.com to mysite.newportal.com. 

My concerns were 2 fold:

  1. Users legacy links that would be 'broken'
  2. Users OneNote databases that they host on their mysites broken.

I wanted to make this seamless.  However, it's been anything BUT seamless.   At this time, I'd like to just change the MySite Host URL in CA (but, obviously, that can't be done) ... but, a normal 302 redirect from the old to the new portal would break onenote as the normal 302 wouldn't redirect a deep link correctly.

Anybody got any ideas?  Gotta keep this short ... if not, you'll tune me out.

SharePoint User Profile Sync - Runs For A Minute or Two, Goes To "Idle", No Errors

June 14, 2013, 8:48 am

Has anyone ever seen this type of behavior before?

Our UPS is set to do a nightly incremental sync.  Has been working fine for years.  We received a report of audiences not being updated with the right users.  It turns out that apparently the sync is not working as expected, and perhaps started doing this a week or two ago.  If I run a manual incremental sync, it starts, says "Synchronizing", runs for a minute or two and then quits to "Idle."  No profiles/data appear to have been synced.  There is no error message.

I checked the connection settings, all is correct, and it can connect to AD.  I also checked the services, and they are running.

I have not yet tried restarting the machine or stopping and reprovisioning the UPS, as I'd prefer not to do that if there is some other way of addressing this.

Does it sound like this would be the solution? 

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/sharepointadminprevious/thread/74682614-c641-45e1-bf0c-7fb430845676/

There is nothing in the Windows Event Log for this.  This is the output from the UPS log (clicking "Idle"):

We are running a metadata conversion process and encountered checked out documents and the process is terminated by that. 

Is there a way to generate a list of all checked-out documents across sites in a site collection?

Then we can check all of them in and run the process.

Thanks for any tips!

Document library not displaying all items within a sub-folder

June 14, 2013, 12:24 pm

I have a document library called "Forms" and under that library, there are 3 folders. In a folder titled "undergrad", when you first open the folder, it displays the first 30 items. You can then click through the next 3 pages, using the navigation buttons at the bottom of the screen, to get to a total of 81 documents (beside the 25 sub-folders). However, there are 247 documents in the undergrad folder. If you use the navigation buttons to go back to page 1, then click forward again to page 2, the documents listed change and you can then click all the way through to 247.

We have tested this as an standard user and under the portal admin account. I have tried opening the folder in explorer view and it only shows 81 documents. In sharepoint designer, the library shows a total of 455 items which is inaccurate. When I changed to explorer view and totaled the number of document and folders under the "Forms" library and it matches the 455 number. However that is counting the 81 documents and 25 folders in the undergrad folder, instead of the actual 247 documents. This means that designer is missing 166 documents from the folder as well.

Timer jobs from removed server still show

I have recently removed a server from one of our farms. Unfortunately I did not stop all services on it and wait for timer job assignments to update correctly. I removed the server using central admin and then ran the wizard on the server to finish the removal. Now I have an issue where I see multiple timer jobs in a running state at the time when I performed the removal. I have confirmed my jobs are executing on the other servers fine, but I would like to remove these old job entries to clear up my "Timer Job Status" screen to reflect properly again.

Does anyone know how to remove old job entries which are not errors, the server they were running on do not exist anymore.

Thanks

Issues with the Custom Filter in Datasheet View

I'm seeing some odd, yet intermittent, behavior while trying to filter columns in datasheet view using a custom filter. After clicking to apply a filter to a column and choosing 'Custom Filter...' a pop-up with regular expressions should appear much like the following screenshot:


However sometimes, usually on a page refresh, this pops up instead:

I have been able to replicate this sporadically in both IE 8 and 9 against different columns but it's really inconsistent. I can't seem to find any configuration issues or commonality across the clients that might be responsible. Local installations of Office are 32bit. I know 64bit has been known to cause some issues. I wanted to see if anyone else has run into this issue at all or perhaps it has been addressed in a more recent CU than what I am running (14.0.6117.5002). Any insight would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.
