Restore SharePoint content DB to new application on Same Server

July 24, 2013, 6:17 pm

Hi,

The aim is to backup the content database of the production site and restore it on the sql server and attach it to a new website on the same SharePoint server for test purposes. (This is because there is only one server available).

When you try and attach the content to the new web application you get the error:

"The attach operation cannot continue because another object in this farm already contains the same ID"

It suggests you can create a new Identity with the -[-assignnewdatabaseid]  option, but this could cause database conflicts.

Is there a safe way to to ensure the production site is not affected?

Thanks,

Rocky.

Pros and Cons of Installing Reporting Service on DB server in SharePoint 2010 farm

Hello Experts,

Here is the scenario

2 WFE -: 12 GB memory on each server

2 APP : 16 GB memory on each server

1 Database Server: 40 GB RAM

What are the pros and cons of installing Reporting Services in SharePoint Integration mode on DB server? . Planning to add 8 GB more on the server and then allocate 32 for DB and 16 for RS.

I know if we are installing RS on separate server we need to install WFE on the same box, do we still need to do the same in this scenario.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

When our users opens a document from a Document Library in a Teamsite, the user gets the option to check-out the document. But the users only have read-only access to the library and when they click on the check-out button the get an error.

We are running Sharepoint 2010 and Office 2010.

I have found some people on the internet that had the same problem with MOSS 2007 and office 2007, but none with the same environment as ours?

Any suggestions? I does not makes sence to me that this i as designed!

What the heck are User Profile Synchronization Service for?

July 24, 2013, 9:40 pm

Here's my scenario.

I have a list on SharePoint 2010, which contains thousands of items of user information. I need to update all items according to a spreadsheet on a daily basis. So, apparently I have to call SPWeb.EnsureUser() to get SPUser object from a login name (Does anybody know another way to do so?). But my network access to AD server is very slow (takes about 10 sec to validate one user), and the worse thing is a system exception (my code catches all exceptions) will be thrown out after about 100 user validations. I guess it might be some kind of security mechanism of AD server.

So, I configure the User Profile Synchronization service and successfully sync all user entries to local server. The question is, I don't know how to make the Person Picker control or the EnsureUser() function validate based on UPS, neither can I get a SPUser object from local user profiles. 

I run Get-SPUser from mgmt shell and find only users that have been added into the People and Groups or validated in Person Picker control are listed. It's really annoying. I'm not supposed to add all users in AD into SP groups manually, ain't I?

Can somebody tell me what I should do and what the heck the UPS are designed for?

Thank you!

If Central Admin - SMTP Server setting is blank - then where will the emails be stored on local drive?

HI, I use SharePoint 2010.

In Central Admin > System Settings > SMTP Server - if we leave this blank or just give a fake incorrect value - the emails are not sent out (understandably). 

I believe they would still be saved somewhere on the server? Where exactly? Is there any utility to read these without having to send them out?

Thanks a lot!

AD Group membership not updating in Sharepoint Foundation when adding Active Directory group to Sharepoint group

April 19, 2011, 7:48 am
$

I have Sharepoint Foundation installed with the latest CU updates.  It is running on a VMware box (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard) with its backend on a SQL Server 2008 R2 vmware box.  The farm account is a domain user and has been given all appropriate replication rights, etc to active directory.

Everything seems to be working fine except for security integrated with AD groups.  When I go to edit permissions I can add individual AD users just fine and remove them just fine and their access is taken away right away or given to them right away. I can also find AD groups in the people picker and add them to the site. When I add new groups to AD, they are found immediately within Sharepoint, and when I delete groups from AD, they are taken out of the people picker right away.  Now comes the weird part.  When I add an AD group to the site, all users currently within that AD group are given access to the Sharepoint Site.  This works for the first time only.  Now when I add or remove users from the AD groups, it does not update in SharePoint.  For example, I have an AD testuser1 in the AD Group "All Users".  testuser1 does not have access to SharePoint.  So I add  the AD group to the Sharepoint group "Visitors".  testuser1 now has read access to the sharepoint site.  Now, I remove testuser1 from the AD group, but testuser 1 still has access to the site even though he is not part of the AD group, nor does he have any individual permissions to the site.  Now, I add testuser2 to the ad group.  testuser2 does not have access to the site, even though he is part of the ad group.

It seems that the only time AD group security is working for me is when I first initially add the AD group to the site.  From then on, it's like sharepoint is caching the members of the group and not updating any new adds or deletes from the groups. Any ideas?  I am lost on where to go from here as I have tried everything from clearing cache files, rebooting servers, iisresets....

Sharepoint 2010 - derive data from the site 'permissions' to populate a database view list?

July 25, 2013, 11:45 am

Using SharePoint 2010 I have a site I am trying to setup.

The use of the site is to present an authority matrix for who is allowed to do what within the organization.

The organization is comprised of multiple groups and not all groups have the same processes.

Multiple people can be granted permission to perform multiple things within a group.

What I was hoping may be useful / a good way to approach this is to mirror the organization structure & responsibilities as site permissions, then derive the site permissions into a homogenous database view list.  The reason why this is 'better' than making tables and letting people edit them is that then this can all further be tied back to the user's Active Directory Domain credentials and provides a nice check & balance to avoid human data entry errors when assigning tasks.

Anyone here know how I could go about this, or where I could link a list view back to the site permissions within the SharePoint site structure?

Thank you!

Managed Accounts - "The password does not meet the password policy requirements."

Hello,

I setup all my accounts as managed accounts and scheduled several of them to update the password weekly. After the "update" happened my farm went down. So I manually reset passwords and went back into Central Admin to see what was going on. From the managed accounts I tried to manually update the password of my Farm account with the Generate new password functionality and get this error.

Error
The password does not meet the password policy requirements. Check the minimum password length, password complexity and password history requirements

Servers are in a domain with a one-way trust to a parent domain. I checked with our AD administrator and he verified that the password policies in both domains are the same.

Thanks!

SharePoint 2010 / Excel 2010 / PowerPivot - Error: Initialization of the data source failed. EventId 300

Opening an Excel Workbook from a PowerPivot Gallery, we are getting the error that says "Initialization of the data source failed."   We have a mix of workstations that can access the file without error every time.   There are a few workstations that get the error every time. 

Our process to open is to navigate to the desired PowerPivot Gallery, open a workbook, then select "Open in Excel" from the menu.  The workbook starts to open and as the worksheet is "painted" the message window comes up.

The SP Log had no errors or warnings. 

 We are using SharePoint 2010, SQL Server 2012,  Windows Server 2008 R2, Excel 2010, IE 9.

If anyone has seen this before and solved it - I'd love to hear how you did it.

Thanks!

Thanks, Scott

Open PDF in Browser SharePoint

I wanted my web app to allow opening of PDF files in the browser. I performed the action below which solved the issue.

$webApplication = Get-SPWebApplication "http:/yourwebapplicationurl" 
$webAppApplication.AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeTypes.Add("application/pdf") 
$webApplication.Update()

As a test I removed that ability with the script below.

$webApplication = Get-SPWebApplication "http:/yourwebapplicationurl" 
$webApplication.AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeTypes.Remove("application/pdf") 
$webApplication.Update()
The problem was that I was still able to open PDF files in the browser after reverting my change. Any ideas why this occured? I tried restarting SharePoint services and IIS.

BDC - SharePoint 2010

Hi Friends,

Is it possible to change 'Namespace' for a BDC Model created already?

Name :  New external content type 
Display Name :  Test Content Type 
Namespace :  http://servername:1005/ 
Version :  1.30.0.0 
External System :  Test 
BDC Model :  Test 
Crawlable :  Yes 
Default Action :  None 

Idea is to change Namespace to http://fqdnurl

Tried without luck:

$ECT = Get-SPBusinessDataCatalogMetadataObject -BdcObjectTyp
e "Entity" -ServiceContext "http://servername:1005/" -Name "New external con
tent type" -Namespace "http://servername:1005"

Set-SPBusinessDataCatalogMetadataObject -Identity $ECT -Prop
ertyName "Namespace" -PropertyValue "http://fqdn.companyname.com"

Gets executed successfully but no change in the BDC Model.

Rgds, Minesh
