I am installing SharePoint initially on a network with a dynamically assigned IP, but will be moving the box to another network to where I will be assigned a static IP.  What are the implications of doing this and or will I run into any issues.  This will not be a test box, but to be used in a production environment.

Client has a SP 2010 farm with UPS configured. Since a while the client seems to have problems with the synchronization. When I look at the evenlog it shows a lot of errors 6801.

After I click on a specific error and "validate schema against object" I get the error Required attribute 'AccountName' is missing

I completely removed the UPS.. recreated it, but the errors still appear.

I really have no clue how to fix this, I hope there are some good suggestions here.

People search relevance is not optimized error message

$
0
0

I am getting the following error in the Health Analyzer in SharePoint 2010 Standard:

People search relevance is not optimized when the Active Directory has errors in the manager reporting structure.

ategory

Configuration

Explanation

In Active Directory, only company leaders should have the 'manager' property set to NULL. As a result of errors, the Active Directory can incorrectly have the 'manager' property set to NULL for other users that can cause a decrease in people search relevance. By specifying the actual leaders of the company, these inconsistencies are not taken into account and the relevance problem is corrected.

Remedy

Specify the company leaders explicitly. Use the following PowerShell commands: $upap = Get-SPServiceApplicationProxy [appid]; Add-SPProfileLeader $upap [Domain]\[UserName]. Run 'Get-SPProfileLeader $upap' to check whether the leader was successfully added. As a last step, run a full crawl on the content source containing the start address (URL) of the user profile application. For more information about this rule, see "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=2401800".

I tried to follow the instructions from this site, but am unsure what account must be used as "Leader" and am getting error message:

Add-SPProfileLeader : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
At line:1 char:20
+ Add-SPProfileLeader <<<<  -ProfileServiceApplicationProxy $upaProxy -Name "co

Hi, 

i Have got a user with the followoing issue:

Old User: Bill Gates (Username = BGates)

New User: Bob Gates (Username = BGates)

Old user has been deleted out of AD.

Now the new user shows up as Bill Gates(Old) when they log onto the team site but in their MySite it displays they correct name....

Have run 2 x Full User Profile Sync's...

Somewhere i guess the old user and her GUID must still be in a DB or how do i resolve this?

Not able to refresh External data in Excel Sharepoint 2010

Hello All,

I am not able to refresh the data in Excel when see the excel report in browser. When i press Refresh All options the page get refresh but no updation in data is reflected.

Actually i have two versions of SQL server installed in my machine

Sql server 2008 R2 (Standard Edition) for SSRS

Sql server 2012 R2 (Enterprise Edition) for PowerPivot and PowerView

I think the issue is whenever excel services try to refresh the data they search for Old assemblies of Analysis service but it was overwritten by New assemblies while installing Sql server 2012 R2.

I have created whole Excel service application but issue is still there.

Also I am not able to publish the workbook in Sharepoint library with authenticated users credential, the workbook only publish with Admin's credential. Is there any group where I need to add authenticated user account?

Please tell me how to come out of these issues.

Thanks in advance



SharePoint 2010 and Office 2013 Can't edit documents

$

Hello

I have built a desktop image with Office 2013. I am receiving the following error when I click on a document in a SharePoint library and click "Edit in Microsoft Word" (the problem is not limited to Word):

The document could not be opened for editing. A Microsoft SharePoint Foundation compatible application could not be found to edit the document.

I have tried the following:

  • Ensuring the "WebClient" service is running
  • Ensuring the site is in the "Local Intranet" zone
  • Checking the "SharePoint OpenDocuments Class" add-on is loaded
  • Making sure Internet Explorer is not running in 64-bit mode
  • Manually re-registering OWSSUPP.DLL
  • Ensuring the SharePoint Foundation integration components are installed
  • Repairing Microsoft Office

The document sometimes loads succesfully but not always. When it will and won't load seems quite random. I am at a complete loss as to why this is!

I am running the following on my client:

  • Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 (x64)
  • Office Professional Pro Plus 2013 (VL)

If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate this.

Regards

Peter

Authentication with two domains

$
0
0
I have read some of the related posts on this topic, but I would like some additional clarification / understanding if possible since I am new to this. Our scenario is that we have a portal (SP 2010) that is accessible from the Internet via a FQDN. The portal is in our "student" domain, but our employees in the "staff" domain need to authenticate to and use the portal also. From what I have read so far, it appears that if there is a two-way trust between the two domains, then it should work "as-is". But what if we don't have or want a two-way trust (doesn't that pose security issues)? Is that where "ADFS" comes in? Is our concern with a two-way trust unwarranted? Thanks for any help.

Best regards, Michael

P2V Production to Dev Environment

$
0
0

I know this has been done and I've spent a good bit of time reading about it and instead of finding a clear answer I've found multiple methods, usually based on the needs of testing/dev.  I'm unclear at this point what the best practice is.

We're building a new Hyper V server for development.  Right now we just have one dev server.  We have multiple independent production sp2010 farms.  When we set up that Dev server, we installed SP and patched it, then the dev guys created the web application and site collection, then they used SP to backup the site (while the production site is in read-only mode) then restored it on the dev machine.

This has been sufficient so far but obviously there are dangers to multiple people developing against one web server.

With the new Hyper V server we were, at a very high level, just planning to P2V copies of production.  As soon as I really started thinking it through though there are allot of complexities, like service accounts, duplicate server names, virtual's possibly attempting to talk to production server, etc etc.

I've seen some information about creating a completely segregated network, but that gives us issues with moving files, server access, etc etc.

What's the best way to mimic production in a virtual environment for the purpose of code development?

user profile store synch with oracle.

Note: SharePoint 2013/Oracle BCS integration

My customer is having AD where the employees loginid is stored. They also have oracle Database there all the properties of the user profile are stored. Now we are doing some kind of content targeting, for that we need to retreive certain properties like Country, Business, Region of the user. These properties are stored in oracle DB.

Can someone guide me with step by step up approach to do the same.

What i Have found out (after reading some article)

1) Open SPD and create an external content type(not sure if this works for oracle)

2) Create a connection to that external content type in Central admin.

3) Do the sync so that these new data are populated in the profile store.

I do understand that the exact step by step process is for a beginner but it will really help me as I am really short of time and new to this section. Links to the complete step by step article will be really beneficial. I do see some code activity in some article but not sure where to use that.

SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot on SharePoint 2010

$

Hi, quick question:

Is there anyway to have the SQL Server PowerPivot instance running on a SQL server rather a SharePoint server when we are using a SharePoint 2010 farm?  I know with SharePoint 2013 that is perfectly viable as we can specify the PowerPivot server in the excel services options - and that server doesn't even have to be a farm member.

Is this possible at all, or the SQL server PowerPivot instance in SharePoint 2010 must run on a SharePoint server? If it's possible, can you please describe in a nutshell the required process?

Find out what account was used to administer TFS' SharePoint

$

I recently took over a location and all the admins are now gone.  People are requesting access to TFS' Sharepoint site and I don't have access to it, even though I am a domain admin of their AD.

How do I find out what account had admin access to the SharePoint site and change it?

Server is running TFS 2010, so I'm assuming the integrated Sharepoint is 2010 as well.

SharePoint 2010: Backup strategy for a SharePoint farm in cluster

$
0
0

Hi,

I have a SharePoint 2010 farm, with two SharePoint servers in active/active mode and a cluster Database server.

We need to decide on the backup strategy for this farm. What should be the best approach?

If I go for full farm backup- then what needs to be done from configuration part with respect to cluster,i.e. do I need to configure the backup explicitly on one of the SharePOint servers, or will it automatically take place on both the servers? What if my one of the active SP server goes down, what will happen to my backup job?

If we go for database backup, then, what extra needs to be taken care of with respect to SharePoint?

Which of the two is recommended? or is there any other bettersh approach?

Hi,

I am facing a strange issue while taking farm backup, I tried both the options full back with content and taking configurations only. I didn't get any status of backup status page, that was totally at its initial state and the backup was continue running without any error. The total size of backup was about 50GB, the shareed location has full read/write acccess and have the enough free space about 270GB. I didn't see anything in log files. The shared location which I created is in DB server not in CA server. The CPU & Memory usage are very much normal. I dont know why its happening.

The help on this above issue get appriciated.

Thanks
