Cannot edit Project Task

$

Just created a new SharePoint 2010 team site. I've got full control. I've created a Project Task list and entered an item into it. Now it won't let me edit it. The Edit Item option on the tool bar is greyed out. I can click on a cell and edit the text there but I cannot open an item to edit. Is there a trick to this?

Issue installing local version of 2010 SharePoint to my computer

Hi,

I was following the directions from the microsoft link below:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee554869%28v=office.14%29.aspx

Once I got to 2.8 - "Manuallys enable each of hte required Windows Features", it no longer worked. I tried to manually turn on the Windows features, primarily the IIS, but it errors out. I currently have a local version of SharePoint installed to my computer but it will not let me access it. Each time I try to go to my SharePoint site the following error pops up:

I believe it won't let me access it because the IIS isn't turned on. I have also had an error in the past that says the following "

Would anyone happen to know how to permanently keep the IIS feature on? It is downloaded on my computer but it isn't working.

Thanks,

Greg

Does installing SharePoint 2010 on virtual machines, for Production use with around 20,000+ users, meet best practice recommendations?

$

My question, as the title indicates, is "Does installing SharePoint 2010 on virtual machines, for Production use with around 20,000+ users, meet best practice recommendations?"

Sharepoint 2010 is being used to develop the website for our state university, with a student population of about 20,000 users.

We had our SharePoint environments designed, installed, and configured by an outside consulting company, which we trusted to follow SharePoint 2010 best practices.

Now we're experiencing performance issues in various pages and in the ADFS sign-in process.

We started researching what are the best practices for SharePoint 2010, and the only examples of using Virtual Machines for a SharePoint environment are for use in learning SharePoint, and for individual developer environments.

We have not been able to find any recommendations for or against using Virtual Machines in a production environment with a large number of users.

Any advice, feedback, constructive criticism is appreciated.

Thank you.

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

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"):

Where is SSRS service for integrated mode (NOT native mode) in the Services pane?

$

Hi

We are running SSRS in integrated mode with SharePopint 2010.

Previously when we had SSRS in native mode and to restart SSRS service, I would remote into the server, go to Services and there the service was listed "SQL server Reporting Service" and can stop/restart the service or change account etc.

But with SSRS in integration mode, I cannot find the SSRS service in the services list. My guess is that since SSRS is now running under SharePoint, it can only be managed through SharePoint Admin.

Sometime back, the SSRS (integrated mode) was not responding (either reports not working or data sources cannot be viewed when you click on any deployed data source - this would give error page), we tried to stop the service on the SharePoint (SP) admin page, but it would just say - stopping - but after clearing the cache, SSRS came up and was running fine. 

So we try to find out if there is a way to restart the SSRS directly outside of SP Admin page.. can any one help please..?

Thanks in advance,

Shailesh 

Powershell script to remove all group permissions from a document library

Deploy tenants on Web application with different port

$
0
0

We have a multi-tenant environment.

We have a case where we have to deploy tenants to a Web application with a non standard port (i.e. not to the default 80-port web application). Each tenant has HNSC like tenant1.domain.com

We have setup the new web application as we did with the original one - we have only specified the port to run on.

We have deployed a testing tenant to the new web application and created a DNS entry for it, specifying the Web application's custom port.

However, when trying to open tenant's site collection (tenant1.domain.com:8282 for example), it fails (saying that the site cannot be found). Running the SharePoint cmdlets would allows us to interact with their site collection, it also shows in CA, but still we cannot access it.

What we are missing here?

Cannot delete a Search Service Application

$

That's almost 2 days that I'm trying to delete a Search Service Application (called "GroupA") and when I click on 'Delete' the thing is running endlessly until timeout.
I created a Managed Metadata Service for it but that one I successfully deleted it.

Everything begun when I made a User Profile Service Application (called "GroupA profiles") specially for that one and I ran it. Everything was ok, I set the good connections to LDAP (3 domains).
After that, I wanted to make another User Profile Service Application (called "GroupB profiles") for my second Search Service Application (called "GroupB") but then the profiles sync won't start and from there came all the trouble.

Now I want to delete GroupeA but I got some errors. When I click on 'GroupA' search service app I got;


In TEXTMODE

System Status

Crawl status
The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component '273883b4-999c-4c13-a861-d9cd0102276e' in search application 'MTEAM' is in a good state and try again.

Authentication with two domains

$

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.

How can I rapidly fixing 60 sites after migrating sharepoint 2003 site to sharepoint 2010 ?

$

How can I spend the least time rectifying 60 websites after migrating a sharepoint 2003 site to sharepoint 2010 ?

My Case:

I'm working for my client preparing to migrate their sharepoint 2003 site to sharepoint 2010 . It consist of 70Gb data on a single content db, single web application but 60 site collections under Sharepoint 2003 (running on Win2003 32bit, SQL2000)

Testing Upgrade:
After a testing upgrade to sharepoint 2010 (spent around 40 working hrs), found that most of the sites are either cannot open, no ribbons, dead hyperlinks or strange layout, only 5 sites were intact with SP2010 functions. Some sites was edited using Frontpage2000 suffer the most. I know that there were errors at SP2007 preupgrade checker on 25 missing web parts and now im still troubleshooting, will soon know if these errors are cleared and the migrated sites will looks better.

For the problems of the migrated sites, an programmer is currently helping me to rectify the 60 sites. we have solutions to all those site issues, it's only a matter of time. He estimated finish rectifying all 60 sites will spent 3 weeks.

My problem: 
my client will only allow me spending 3 - 5 days for the next month Production migration (Put in readOnly mode as downtime). I will spent 2 days to do the system and application upgrade. But I don't have another 3 weeks to rectify the broken sites again! Are there any ways I can quickly make use of my previously 60 rectified site (including layout, Formatting, webparts settings... But not content!) to apply on the migrated SP2010 system so to shorten the sites rectification time? Please note that after my client exported the production SP2003 db to me for the upgrade testing (last month), in the 3 weeks site fixing period end users still using the production site until the Production migration 5 days, lots of contents are adding or updating, but they were already told not to change any layout. If I perform Content publishing from my rectified testing SP2010 to the final Production migrated SP2010, any updated content within these 3 weeks will lost even the Layout is fixed. Client do not prefer a gradual upgrade for weeks since there might be chaos for some user browsing new sites while some users browsing old sites.

I tried to just copy the rectified site main aspx page and paste to a migrated broken site but failed, site cannot open with exception. I already read most of Microsoft upgrade guidelines and lots of forum cases but still can't find an effective solution shortening the site fixing period ifor my case

Please help! !!!!!
i don't have good sleeping for weeks already......

The expected version of the product was not found on the system

$

I have a SharePoint 2010 environment which I am getting the error message "The expected version of the product was not found on the system" when trying to apply the October 2012 CU.  The server has (for a long time) had SharePoint 2010 SP1 applied, and in fact was on Feb 2012 CU, prior to attempting to run this.  I've tried to reboot the server, run both the foundation update, and the server (both with the same error message results), and even uninstalled Office 2010 (which happened to be on the server for development purposes), hoping that perhaps it was an Office component that was failing - same results afterwards.

As none of this was working, I tried instead to download another CU (June 2012 CU) and apply it to the server.  This one worked successfully, and the server was then on the June 2012 CU.  I then retried to apply the October 2012 CU, with the same (failed) results.

Note: There are NO language packs installed, only the default English Language (1033) has ever been used on this server.

I have tried using the workaround described here, however, that allows the installation to proceed, but it finishes the entire installation in just a few seconds (in other words, no files are actually copied, and no upgrade is every triggered when running psconfig) - normally this operation takes upwards of an hour, so skipping the check doesn't actually solve the problem.

I've also tried re-downloading the packages on the off chance that something went wrong in the download - this made no difference.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sharepoint Environment, getting Event 823/824 on the SQL Server

SharePoint DB Environment issues
VM Environment
2 Servers
Web Front End
Windows 2008 R2
SharePoint 2010

Database Back End
Windows 2008 R2
MS SQL Server 2008 x64

Going over the SQL Server logs we have seen a high occurrence of Error 823 and 824.  They also show up in the Windows Application Event Viewer.

This is the general description we have been getting:
823) The operating system returned error incorrect checksum (expected: 0xb016ce52; actual: 0xb016ce52) to SQL Server during a read at offset 0x00000000fc6000 in file 'E:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\tempdb.mdf'. Additional messages in the SQL Server error log and system event log may provide more detail. This is a severe system-level error condition that threatens database integrity and must be corrected immediately. Complete a full database consistency check (DBCC CHECKDB). This error can be caused by many factors; for more information, see SQL Server Books Online.

824) SQL Server detected a logical consistency-based I/O error: incorrect checksum (expected: 0x686d8353; actual: 0x8ab05a4c). It occurred during a read of page (1:204495) in database ID 2 at offset 0x00000063d9e000 in file 'E:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\tempdb.mdf'.  Additional messages in the SQL Server error log or system event log may provide more detail. This is a severe error condition that threatens database integrity and must be corrected immediately. Complete a full database consistency check (DBCC CHECKDB). This error can be caused by many factors; for more information, see SQL Server Books Online.


We restarted the SQL Server service so that tempdb would be recreated.  We also ran DBCC CHECKDB on all databases and found no issues.

We have also used SQLIOSim to stress test the database server.  The stress test gives an error of:
Error: 0x80070467
Error Text: While accessing the hard disk, a disk operation failed even after retries.
Description: Buffer validation failed on C:\sqliosim.mdx Page: 398593, offset 0x8

We also get the following warnings
Error: 0x00000000
Error Text:
Description: 296 IO requests are outstanding for more than 15 sec.

Our system administrator performed a diagnostic on both the hard drive and memory for the environments.  No issues were found.

Our question is why would this happen to only temp.mdf?  And what are the chances that other databases could start getting checksum errors?  Any suggestions on what we could test next?
