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?



sharepoint 2010 custom 404 page not working

$

0

I did try to configure a custom 404 page for sp2010 publishing site.

Based on this article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941329/en-us)

I did add a simple html file (sps404test.html) to this folder
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033
This is the content of the 404 file

<!-- _localBinding -->
<!-- _lcid="1033" _version="" -->
<html>
<head>
 <meta HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
</head>
<body>
TEST 404 for mytestsite
</body>
</html>

i can browse to the 404 page via this url
http://mytestsite/_layouts/1033/sps404test.html

With sp2010-powershell I try to set the custom 404 with these commands (no errors resturned)

$webapp =Get-SPWebApplication http://mytestsite
$webapp.FileNotFoundPage = "sps404test.html"
$webapp.update()

this command allows me to check that the filenotfoundpage returns my test page
(Get-SPWebApplication http://mytestsite).FileNotFoundPage

However... i still receive the default 404 page from sharepoint (even after app pool recycle)

I searched for interference with the web.config customErrors tag, but no succes.

Any help is welcome, thx

 

SharePoint 2010 > BranchCache > Client: does it work backwards?

$
0
0

Hello,

There are some articles in Internet about SharePoint 2010 and BranchCache. I understand how it works (at least at some degree...) when a client retrieves a document from a server, but don't quite understand if it works in the opposite direction. Just to make sure:

  1. A client opens a file from a SharePoint server
  2. The Server points the client to a BranchCache server (assuming the file exists on the BranchCache on the client's site)
  3. The client gets the file from the BranchCache.
  4. He changes it and uploads to the server ...

What happens next? Does the client uploads the file to the BrachCache instead and the BranchCache server uploads it to the Sharepoint server? Or the client uploads it straight to the SharePoint server?


Sharepoint crawl fails with Access Denied if file has NTFS hidden data streams

$

Hi there,

I am currently operating a Microsoft Search Server 2010 SP1 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 system, which crawls several content sources. I noticed recently, that the search indexer account (which has Read-permissions on all files) fails to index certain files of all kind of file types (PDF, Doc, etc.).

The error message: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))

As I said - permissions are correctly set and effective. I noticed, that all these files have either the NTFS data stream:Zone.Identifier:$DATA  26 (the Attachment Manager block-feature of IE / Windows 7) or other strange NTFS streams.

I do not think, that an index account should be prevented by these kinds of security mechanisms and am currently searching for a solution. Up to 10% of all my files have correct NTFS permissions, but cannot be indexed...

Thanks,

Kind regards,

MMF

Move SharePoint 2010 Farm to New Server

$

My company uses SharePoint 2010 portal and it is used by more than 3500+ users worldwide. We are planning to move the Farm to another physical location due to end of lease at current location. The Farm is running on Virtualized environment(VMWARE).

We have the following constraints:

  1. Content Database size is 200+ GB(all in one site collection) and copying files will take many days. so backup and restore or platform backup is ruled out in my situation.
  2. It's very time critical and we want to have a minimum downtime and we only have 2 days to complete the process so that Businesses across the regions are not affected by this change.

I'm considering the following approach.

  1. Split content databases in to 8 site collection and reduce the Core Database size to around 30GB.
  2. Clone WFE and App server and move to new location.
  3. Install SQL Server at new location
  4. Perform Move all database approach as mentioned in this article and join the cloned WFE and App Server. This will create a fully functional SharePoint Farm. This step is for test purpose only to check if this approach will work or not.
  5. Configure DNS entries.

Will the above mentioned approach work?

I'm sure many would have come across similar situation.

What would be the best practices or Microsoft recommended approach/solution?

Hi

Is it possible to take a sharepoint 2010 custom list that currently contains 170 rows of data and convert it into a 'master - detail' form (which would be more user friendly)?

I looked around but did not see a solution so any detail would help.

Thank you,

Managed meta data synonyms for search

$
0
0

I am creating a term set.

Some of my terms have multiple names so I am using synonyms.

To give a bad example if my term was "Everything Everywhere" my synonyms would be "Orange" and "Hutchinson Telecom" - the previous names for the company.

When indexing the user types "Orange" and "Everything Everywhere" is recommended - fantastic.

The problem is that this does not work for retrieval.

If I search for Orange - nothing.

If I switch on meta data navigation on the library my synonyms are nowhere to be seem.

My question is am I seeing the expected behaviour and how is this issue worked through since most term sets in my experience will have this type of lifecycle.

move SharePoint site to different location within same site collection by editing ServerRelativeUrl

$
0
0

I wonder if this is a correct approach when it comes to move a sharepoint site within the same site collection in SharePoint 2010 Foundation. Since Foundation has no Publishing Service this can not be acchieved via GUI from what I know.

We have the requirement for moving sharepoint sites from time to time within the same site collection like there is the following structure:

http://sharepoint/mx/sales - as the Site Collection sales

https://sharepoint/mx/sales/prospects - subsite prospects

https://sharepoint/mx/sales/customers - subsite customers

There is at the beginging always a prospect like https://sharepoint/mx/sales/prospects/customer1. Once this hopefully becomes a custmer it should be moved to https://sharepoint/mx/sales/customers/customer1. I could do an export/import via stdadm or eventually save the site as  template and create a new site in the /customers/ area based on this template( with included content). But based on the article described here: http://www.sharepointpanda.com/2012/01/moving-a-sharepoint-2010-sub-site-within-a-site-collection/ it can be achived with Sharempoint Manager by simply editing the path of the attribute ServerRelativeUrl.

I did this for a test-site, at a first glance it worked. But I wonder if there is anything in the background which screws up my structure at some point? Or is this a feasible solution in order to solve my issue.

Thanks,

Dieter

Manage a connection to a document repository or a records center is Web Application Scoped

$

Technet details how to Manage a connection to a document repository or a records center.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee424395(v=office.14).aspx

This is in the general application settings for the web application.

So essentially this means that the record center is web application scoped.

In our current configuration one web application is shared by several departments.  Each of those departments will have it's own record centre. 

So using the above configuration is confusing because the user will see multiple send to connections.

Does this means that we should split each department out to it's own web application OR is there another way to achieve this.  i.e. a way to specify the send to record centre link on a site collection basis.

Hello Community,

I have a question regarding redirecting.

Is it possible redirect a subdomain like domainA.com/160years to domainB.com/pages/160years.aspx (SharePoint site)

Using DNS records like cname..
On domainB.com i'm using IIS7 if that matters...

Do I need to configure IIS URL Rewriting?

Thanks and greetings,
