Sharepoint Foundation 2010 Search Error

Hello Community,

I have a little problem with our Sharepoint Foundation Search:

The Search Task is getting an Error and Searching on the site is not possible.

Maybe from interest: The content database was migrated from sbs server 2003!

Additionally I'm getting an error in the event logs:

                              

Die Startadresse 'sts4://companyweb.office360.local/contentdbid={ce4e321e-0805-4546-972f-45342ab10e86}' kann nicht durchforstet werden.

Kontext: Anwendung 'Suchindexdateien_auf_dem_Suchserver', Katalog 'Search'

Details: Unbekannter Fehler (0x80004005)

                              

Translation:

The start address sts4://companyweb.office360.local/contentdbid={ce4e321e-0805-4546-972f-45342ab10e86} cannot be crawled.

Context: Application ‘Serve_search_queries_over_help_content’, Catalog ‘Search’

Details: Unknown Error  (0x80004005)
                             

What I have tried to fix this error:

Lastly here some sharepoint log entrys that seems to be connected to the hole problem:

Thanks,

Windows XP support with SP 2010+Claims+Mixed authentication

$
0
0

I have SharePoint 2010 installed on a Windows 2008R2 machine using claims-based authentication.  Most of my clients are Windows 7 machines, but we still have a few stragglers using Windows XP.  The SharePoint farm is setup with mixed-mode authentication, AD (Kerberos) and FBA.

When I have it setup like this, all Windows XP users have difficulty with things like Word/Excel and (more specifically) with 'Open with Explorer'.  When they click on that, they get repeated login windows (despite entering the correct password).  If they cancel the login window, they get Web Folders (FPRPC, not WebDAV).  If I change nothing else except remove FBA (so now it's Claims with AD only), the users can access Explorer View (WebDAV) correctly and all other login-prompt issues go away

Windows 7 users don't have any problems with either method.  Is this setup supported?

Attempting to get SP 2010 to display PDF icon in doc libraries

$

So we are having a couple of odd image related items on our new SP 2010 farm.

It first showed up when the icon for PDFs that users were seeing was not the familar PDF icon they see on our old SP 2007 farm.

Then users reported that the company logo on many SP 2007 pages was instead showing up as a Microsoft logo.

It turns out both of these were images that had been placed in the 12hive TEMPLATE/IMAGES folder.

So I copied the files over to the 14hive TEMPLATE/IMAGES folder.

I even did an iisreset just to be certain that there was no cache problem.

However, the images displayed on the SP 2010 farm are still the old ones that should have been replaced or updated.

What other things do I need to do so that this works?

Thank you!

Setup SharePoint Test Environment

Hello SharePoint Fam,

I am wanting to setup a test environment and just simply do a clone of production but not sure how to do so.  I reached out to my server/network team and they gave me a clone of my web server but that was it. I am thinking I need more than just this one web server.

My Environemnt is 1web server ,1app server and 1db server.  Don't I need 3 servers to have a test environement or could I pull off having a test environment with this one webserver that they have given me so far?  It is literally a clone of my current production web server that has 7,000 users....should I ask for 3 servers and manually install sharepoint on each??

Thanks for any advice,

Permissions to install CU

Why is there a requirement to add the user to the administrators account on the sql server to install a CU.

SP Server 2010 Central Admin gives 503 error immediately after install, Usual Fixes don't work

$
0
0

Sorry to post yet another like this, but I've been through the similar posts with no joy.  SharePoint Server 2010 gives me a 503 error the first time I try and get into the Central Admin Site after running the Configuration Wizard during install.

I'm building a Team Foundation Server 2010 system for our Dev group, using SharePoint Server 2010 in support of TFS.  All components (IIS, SQL Server, Reporting Server, SharePoint Server, and TFS) are going on one machine.  Not the best design, but we don't have spare servers to spread the load, and we're a small group and don't need screaming performance.

The domain controllers are Windows 2008 R2 Std. Ed. x64 SP1.  The SharePoint machine is Windows 2008 R2 Std. Ed. x64 SP1, fully patched.  IIS installed, no problems.  SQL Server 2008 R2 Std. Ed. installed, with Reporting Services.  Applied SP2 to SQL Server.  Configured Reporting Services, no problem.  I let Reporting Services use port 80, and installed it in Native Mode.  (I tried 'SharePoint Integrated Mode' in an earlier test, SharePoint Central Admin threw a 503 error then, as well.)

Reporting Services looks good, its web sites come up with no problem.

Based on prior experience, I then go into RegEdit on the SharePoint server and change ownership of the AppID key for the IIS WAMReg Admin service from 'TrustedInstaller' to the local administrators group, and then give the local administrators group Full Control on that key.

Now I'm ready to start installing SharePoint Server 2010.  Since the Prerequisites installer always gives errors, I first manually install the Windows Identity Foundation, reboot the server, and manually start the Microsoft .NET Framework NGEN v2.0.50727 services (both the _x86 and _x64 versions).  After that, the Prerequisites installer will install everything correctly.

(I am logged in to this server as an account that is both a Domain Admin and a SQL Admin, with the SysAdmin role and 'db_owner' user mapping on everything in SQL Server.  The passwords on all of the applicable accounts have not been changed in over six months, before this server was built.)

I have a 'SharePoint Farm Admin' account created, at the domain level.  It is a member of the 'Domain Users' group only.  Its password has also been stable since before this server was built.

I install SharePoint Server 2010, choosing 'Server Farm' and 'Complete' during installation.  Installation gives no problems, and I start the Configuration Wizard.

For the Database Settings, I give it the server name of this server (since I'm using the SQL Server that was installed on this same machine), and the Instance Name of the SQL Installation - 'Mimas\TFS2010'.  I take the default database name, 'Sharepoint_Config'.  I give it the SharePoint Farm Admin account, '<domain name>\SPFarmAdmin' and its password.

I provide a passphrase and confirm it.

For the Central Admin web app, I have tried using the 'standard' port, 17012, and gotten the 503 error.  This time, I take the default port it provides, 27850.  I tell it to use NTLM authentication.

SharePoint goes through its configuration, tasks 1 through 10, and apparently completes successfully.  I click 'Finish', and I should go into the Central Admin site.  I get a 503 error.

I check the web, and look at the usual suspects.  IPv6 is turned off on all the NICs in the server.

There are no 'empty .NET 2.0 folders' under %WinDir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework or Framework64.

There have been no recent password changes.

There are no SQL 1346 errors in the logs.

There are no failed logins in the Security Log.

There is a local profile on the server for the SPFarmAdmin account.

SPFarmAdmin has 'log on as a service' and 'log on as a batch job' rights on the server.

The Reporting Services web sites still come up OK.

When I look at the applications pools in IIS 7 manager, the app pool for SharePoint Central Administration v4 is stopped.  Its identity is <domain name>\SPFarmAdmin.  I can start it normally, and it starts.  It stays running.

When I try and launch the Central Admin site, it gives a 503 error, and that app pool stops again.

My logs on the server then show a string of Event ID 2276 errors in the Application Log - 'IIS-W3SVC-WP  The worker process failed to initialize correctly and therefore could not be started.'  The qualifier given is 49152, for what that's worth.

The System Log also shows a string of Event ID 5009 errors, 'A process serving application pool 'SharePoint Central Administration v4' terminated unexpectedly.  The process exit code was '0xfffffffe''.

Searching for solutions to these errors has not yielded any results so far.

list item discrepency

Hello,

I have a list that has a 5000 list view threshold.  When I go to list settings, the threshold bar indicates that I have about 8000 items which exceeds the threshold.  However, the list only has about 4500 items.  I have determined that 4500 is an accurate count of the items by configuring the view via "count" and "totals".  I have also removed all recycled items but I the number of items in the threshold bar in list settings still shows 8000 items. 

Any insight would be very much appreciated.

Thank you,

One or more services have started or stopped unexpectedly - SPTimerV4 (it isn't stopped)

$
0

We have a repeating issue in the SP2010 Health Analyzer that is reporting the same service on the same server, although it is always running. There's something funny about the explanation, though, in that it doesn't properly report the service that it believes is failing:

*why won't it let me paste in here???*

The following Services are managed by SharePoint, but their running state does not match what SharePoint expects: . (Note there is usually a service name before the .)

Further down in the dialogue it reports it as SPTimerV4, but checking the server services both via SharePoint and on the VM itself always shows it running.

Does anyone have an explanation for this? The box has been rebooted plenty times, I've stopped and started the service manually, tried retyping the Farm ID password on the Service properties... Nothing stops this alert re-appearing!

Grateful for any help.

Any ideas?

At a high Level

1.Logged in in to App server with SPFarmAdmin and started "user profile service" from CA on the App server instance in the farm. followed by IISRESET.

2.Deleted the existing User Profile service application and  Created "User Profile service application"  successfully . followed by IISreset .

Issue with deploying a dashboard to SharePoint

$

Hello there,

Environment

Win2K8 R2 | SQL 2008 R2 | SharePoint 2010 RTM

I have been using PPS 2007 + MOSS 2007 and set up a new environment for SP 2010 (above) and migrated all the PPS components from PPS 2007 to SP 2010 based on the steps mentioned in this blog.

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/performancepoint/archive/2010/02/25/upgrading-performancepoint-server-2007-to-pps-2010.aspx Approach I took was Version 1 to Version 2 Database Attach

Migration went well except for few dashboards (hopefully I can correct them manually). I can navigate to migrated SharePoint site (document libraries and master pages existed on previous version are still there) without any issues.

When I try to deploy a dashboard to SharePoint from Dashboard Designer, it doesn't identify any document library or master page in the site, so I cannot deploy the dashboad to SharePoint. It only shows the sub sites that I have under the main site.

This functionality should be similar to PPS 2007 where when you deploying a dashboard to SharePoint, you provide the site URL and it identifies all the document libraries underneath that site and you select the appropriate master page.

Has anyone experienced this issue on SP 2010?

Any help to resolve this issue would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Report on all file types in a given Site Collection?

$

In SharePoint 2010 Enterprise, is there a way OOB that an admin could report on all files and filetypes in a given Site Collection? Or somehow better leverage PowerShell or search functionality to circumvent plugging in extension types one-at-a-time (i.e., "Filetype:doc," etc.), to find my end-answers? We have some sites out on our SP farm that have gotten pretty big, since before I started with my current company... and now, I want to knowwhat is hogging up so much Content dB space on these site collections! Site Collection Auditing, in the SharePoint sense of the word and reporting, doesn't seem to be what I'm going after with this scenario.

Any help would be greatly appreciated--I'm sure some of you out there in Administration who've had this intent at some point, so I'd appreciate any experiences that you could pass along my way. Thanks, and good day/evening!
