WSS_Logging Database is still too large despite changing SPUsageDefinition

$
0
0

Our SharePoint 2010 WSS_Logging database is over 50GB in size and I'm now being moaned at by our DBA's. So, I ran the following Powershell script:

Set-SPUsageDefinition -Identity "Sandboxed Requests" -DaysRetained 1
Set-SPUsageDefinition -Identity "Content Import Usage" -DaysRetained 1
Set-SPUsageDefinition -Identity "Workflow" -DaysRetained 1
Set-SPUsageDefinition -Identity "Clickthrough Usage" -DaysRetained 1
Set-SPUsageDefinition -Identity "Content Export Usage" -DaysRetained 1
Set-SPUsageDefinition -Identity "Page Requests" -DaysRetained 1
Set-SPUsageDefinition -Identity "Feature Use" -DaysRetained 1
Set-SPUsageDefinition -Identity "Search Query Usage" -DaysRetained 1
Set-SPUsageDefinition -Identity "Site Inventory Usage" -DaysRetained 1
Set-SPUsageDefinition -Identity "Sandboxed Requests Monitored Data" -DaysRetained 1
Set-SPUsageDefinition -Identity "Timer Jobs" -DaysRetained 1
Set-SPUsageDefinition -Identity "Rating Usage" -DaysRetained 1

And have run the the following Timer Jobs:

Usage Data Import, and Usage Date Processing, but still, the database remains at over 50GB. I havr truncated the log (which saved me 1GB), and am now considering shrinking the .mdf (as this should reclaim 20GB). Does anyone have any suggestions (apart from recreating!)


Sharepoint Search Center Basic Secure Trimming is not working

$

Hello,

i have recently configured a Search Center Basic Inside a new Site Collection on a SharePoint 2010 SP1 with CU Dez11

I have checked that the the crawl user has only "read all" permissions, and none else.

Crawling is working fine, but every User is getting all Results, so i assume the security trimming is not working.When the user wants to se a found result he gets the usual Permission denied warning.

Can someone help me with this issue?

Mail Distribution Group not working, how can I troubleshoot?

So we're running SharePoint 2010.  When I try to create a distribution group from a group of users, it allows me to enter the e-mail address, and allows me to approve the group creating from the admin console, but then nothing happens after that.  When I send e-mail to the group, the user never ets it, and I never get a bounce back emssage either.  How can I troubleshoot?

SharePoint Farm Configuration advice

$
0
0

Hi All,

I have a SP2010 farm set up as follows:

  • WFE1
  • WFE2
  • AppServer
  • Search Server
  • SQL Server

Now, I'm not sure this is correct for the work I've done so far and am looking for some advice.

1. I have installed CA and created some web apps on the app server, but am not sure how this now incorporates the WFE's. Both have sharepoint installed and the correct services running, but in IIS on these two WFE's none of the applications I have created on the App Server are showing, I was under the impression they would.

I have also checked the sharepoint logs on these servers and there is activity on them but I'm not sure if it's activity related to the web applications. Is there any way of definitively telling whether the WFE's are doing anything at all?

2. After this, I now need to implement NLB on these machines. For my configuration do I install NLB on the 2 WFE's and the Appserver or do I install the feature on just the 2 WFE's and if so, how do I then make this connection between the AppServer and the NLB cluster?

Once the cluster is configured properly what should I do with the configuration of the DNS and AAM?

3. Is our server topology correct, do I need two WFE's if all my apps are hosted on an appserver?

and 4. I installed the SharePoint and configured the search server, however I ran into some major issues with this and have removed it from the farm for now. However, we have a massive File Share that will be crawled in time when this farm becomes live, and at the moment, all the search crawling and indexing is done on the appserver and I envisage this server becoming overworked. Any advice on this? I read about mirroring, would this be a sensible use of this currently "spare" server?

All machines are VM's btw.

I'd appreciate the input of some of you more knowledgable folk so if you can help me with 1 or more of these issues I'd be grateful.

Thanks

Restrict admin approved info path form to single site collection

$

Hello,

i've got a question regarding an info path deployment. When i as an farm administrator upload an info path form via central admin (i.e. admin approved), it is available in every site collection in the farm (site collection administrator can activate the corresponding feature in their site collection). I'd like to restrict the availability of this info path form to only a few site collections / site collection administrators. Is this possible?

Error in communicating with Excel Calculation Services

Hi all,

I hope you can help!

My Excel service stop working hence I cannot open file in the browser. when I checked the ULS log file i saw Event ID 5240) which suggesting :

There was an error in communicating with Excel Calculation Services... According to the article below I need to change the setting for SharePoint Web Services root. It currently looks like this :SP Web Services Root

Well with this is used to work until today. I saw the post below which is suggested that I need to run this as a farm account and set it to run automatically:

http://basquang.wordpress.com/2010/09/17/configure-excel-calculation-services-on-sharepoint-2010/

I wonder if that is I would need to do? and would that be safe to run this with farm account?

Microsoft recommended to reboot the server in this case:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee513104%28v=office.14%29.aspx

But I am not sure if my issue is to due with reboot.

Finally I saw the post below which is suggesting to Enable-SPSessionStateService

http://www.sharepointusecases.com/index.php/2011/09/there-was-an-error-in-communicating-with-excel-calculation-services-in-sharepoint-2010/

I am very confused now and not sure which one wold be the best course of actions. I was wondering if you can shade some light.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

User Profile Services - Sync Connection disappearing after a few days - "Moss MA not found"

$
0
0

Hi,

This may sound like a common problem but i can't seem to find a solution.

I recently installed a SharePoint 2010 farm. The farm is currently SP1, Aug12 CU.

I created the user profile service application without any problems and created a connection, sync worked...everything was fine. Few days after, i noticed the connection disappeared! I tried recreating it but i got the above error. Tried deleting the SA and recreating it but still the same.

I checked everything:

- FIM services are started

- User profile services (both) are started

- It is not an AD connection timeout (error comes up in a second and containers populate just fine)

- All permissions were given correctly (keep in mind this has worked before)

- Tried updating to the Aug12 CU

Then i remembered i installed the farm with the sql servers mapped with FQDN instead of NETBIOS or Alias.

That led me to try to enable netbios on the SA via PowerShell but to no avail.

So basically my question is...is there anything i can do or is re installing the farm the only solution?


Export/Import and Storman.aspx (Storage Metrics)

$
0
0

I performed a backup/restore of a site collection which was reporting an incorrect total size of data consumed on the Storage Metrics page (_layouts/storman.aspx), however this did not fix the issue. I also performed a site export/import (deleting the prior site collection prior to importing) and this seemed to resolve the issue of not displaying the correct total size reported in storage metrics. However, this option is not desirable do to the fact not all facilities are restored (workflows, etc.)

My question is, What does an export/import do that would effect the size of the site collection in storman.aspx? Does it not move over audit info, or does it not move over specific tables? 

Any help in understanding what could be the culprit of storman.aspx reporting the wrong usage as opposed to an export/import would be GREATLY appreciated.

NLB hangs on one node every thirty minutes for about a minute

$

I’m using NLB between two SharePoint 2010 WFEs. Both WFEs are Hyper-V guests. Every 30 minutes like clock work, one node causes an extramly slow load on a few of our web applictions for about a minute. If I remove the guilty node from the NLB cluster, the issue transfers to the other node. When I add the node back it then becomes the working node. I have been through the event/ULS logs and find nothing that happens on 30 minute basis. Any thought would be appreciated.

We are planning to install SSRS and the PowerPivot business intelligence features in our SharePoint 2010 farm. Although these are awesome Business Intelligence features they don’t work with claims based authentication web applications.  We have one claims based web application. Since these features are applied to a farm, is there any way to remove them from the claims based wep app?

Thanks

We had reason to move our SharePoint environment to a new server farm, and new Domain.  In getting everything back together we are finding that our Report library is a little disconnected, we've verified that everyone has the proper rights to db's etc. 

I get these errors.

URL 'Datasource/report.rsds' is invalid. It may refer to a nonexistent file or folder, or refer to a valid file or folder that is not in the current Web. ()

And

Report viewer failed to set the report parameter defaults for this report. Select new default parameter values from the tool pane.
Report Server has encountered a SharePoint error. (rsSharePointError)
Cannot open file "Datasource/test.rdl".
For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors

Any ideas or directions we should start looking at?

 

Databases exist on servers running SharePoint - Event 2138

$

I have a small standalone SharePoint Foundation server.  SharePoint and SQL are installed on the same box.  I continually get the Databases exist on servers running SharePoint Foundation (Event 2138) warnings in the event log and of course in the SP Admin Management console.

I know this is merely a warning, but I would like to disable or stop the warning. 

We do not have another SQL server to move to so this is not an option.

How can I prevent this warning?

thanks

After install Cannot access Central Administration

I am using virtual box and have created a VM for a Domain Controller, a SQL Server and Sharepoint. The DC is up and running fine. I have the SQL Server server itself added to the domain along with SP. I have added all the service accounts and everything installed fine. After completing the SP install and leave the Central Admin page I get an error when attempting to navigate back to it. I tried many times. Finally I deleted the SP VM and reinstalled a new one. Now the same thing is happening. I am on the page after successful install but then can never navigate back. It takes forever and then jsut gives an error (sorry no error number).

If someone can please help me I would gretly appreciate it.

Thank you,

How to map AD user attribute preferredLanguage to SharePoint user profile property?

$
0
0

My question sounds quite strange: is it possible to map preferredLanguage attribute from AD to a property of SharePoint 2010 user profile?

In our environments, there are no problems with other attributes. But all three farms (development, testing, pre-production) do not allow to create this mapping. I just choose any property (OOB or custom) of typestring (single value) and try to map the attribute. After submitting, message “An error occurred when updating a property” appears at the top of page. OK, SharePoint and Windows logs contain much more stuff (see below) but not so informative for me anyway.

So, can anybody explain me what’s wrong with AD, this concrete attribute, my SharePoint configurations or with something else? Thanks in advance!
