Revert back to SharePoint - VMware - Virtual machines
Hi
I have read the post; 'SharePoint farm Backup/Restore with VMware Snapshots'
And i am thinking,
Firstly an SQL server takes full backup once a day +sql transaction log every 2 hours.
To ensure onself of being safe, could it be possible to do the following:
1) Turn Off all SharePoint VM (2 Frontend webservers and 1 Application server)
2) Take snapshots of the VM's, then turn them on again.
3) Do the update/solution deployment.....
If SharePoint Farm fails (Disaster recovery), then do the following:
4) Turn off VM's. Restore SQL databases using the 'newest' SQL transaction log that was recorded before 'update/solution'.
5) Revert VM's to the snapshot taken in 2).
6) Turn on VM
When talking about the VMs I am only talkin about the 3 SharePoint VM's.
Will this work? Will there still be a sync. problem?

SharePoint 2010: Not able to access site collection: Page Not Found
Hi,
I have a web application and multiple site collections in it. each of the site collections reside in separate content databases. Suddenly, I am not able to access one of the site collection. Although I am able to view the content database for that site collection in SQL and also in Central admin. I can also see the site collection in View All Site Collections in CA.
But if I try to access the site collection(or any sites inside it) it gives Page Not Found Error.
The only change that was done on sever was that backup agent was configured and a backup was triggered using that agent. Is it because of that? or is there something else that went wrong?

Deploy tenants on Web application with different port
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?

SharePoint 2010 database attach 404 error
Hello Everybody, I moved a content database from one environment to another environment with database attach. When I browse the site I get a 404 no found error. The environment where i took the database from has a custom master page for
website layout and the standard v4.master for the site settings. So in the new environment i try to browse directly the website settings page with http://serverurl/_layouts/settings.aspx and it works i can browse the settings page. On the site settings page
I set the v4.master as master page and did an inheritance to all subsites but still no luck when I browsed the page and every subsite I still get the 404 error. I took a look in the master page library http://serverurl/catalogs/master when I click on the v4.master
or any other element in the library and go to show properties I get again the 404 error. I uploaded a new v4.master to the library and go to properties again 404. So far so good (or not really) after knocking my head to desk I create a new webapplication with
new database and new site collection. And now the strange thing, I can browse the new site collection but when I go to master page catalog and click the v4.master and show properties I get again an 404 error with new database and new site collection. And this
give me a bad feeling that I even get the error on a new site collection with new webapp and database. I reattached the database but still same error. No infos about the error in the USLogs Normally I would say ok seems that SharePoint had some trouble with
the custom master page. But the 404 on the new site collection scared me a little bit. My next step is to set the master page on the productive environment to v4.master and take again a backup from the database and attach these one. Unfortunately I don’t access
to the productive environment so I have to wait until Monday. But maybe had someone a similar problem and knows a solution.

How to Save site as template in SharePoint 2010
hello,
I am little bit confused about how I can save a site as a template in moss 2010!
In SharePoint 2007 it was simple > site actions > save site as template... and done!
but I do not find how to make that in the new SharePoint, I would be really happy if someone could tell me how to do that.
I found some tutorial:
To create a Site Template, browse to the Site you want to create from. Go to Site Actions –> Site Settings –> Save site as template (under the Site Actions heading). Give your template a name, and don't forget to check the "Include Content" box if you want to include library and list content in the template. This will create a new site template in your Solutions Gallery, which you can then use when creating new sites. You can also download directly from the Solutions Gallery to a .WSP file.
but the thing is, I do not have the "save site as template" link! I also checked if I need some special site feature activated, but I have all activated.
thank you in advance

User Profiles get deleted from User Profile database after conversion from classic to claims
On our test server we converted our web application from classic to form-based claims authentication. Before conversion, all the records in the User Profile database were for accounts that looked <domain>\<username>. After the conversion, the same records were converted from <domain>\<username> to "i:0#.f|ldapmember\<username>". On that test server, the users are able to log in and see/edit their profiles.
Now, we're in the process of trying to do the same for the production server and something is not working. We tried to follow the exact conversion steps, but after the conversion we noticed the following:
- When the users log in they can't see their profile information. Just the username shows up but not things like email, phone etc.
- I looked in the User Profile database and all the records still show up as <domain>\<username> whereas on the test server after the conversion they showed up as "i:0#.f|ldapmember\<username>". Does anybody know which step in the conversion process is responsible for changing the accounts in the User Profile database from <domain>\<username> to "i:0#.f|ldapmember\<username>" ?
- Before the conversion, we have about 2739 user profiles. Right after the conversion and full synchronization with AD, we still have 2739 profiles. However, after a few hours (usually leaving it overnight), the number of profiles goes down to about 94. So something is deleting most of the profiles. I'm assuming it is some timer job but we can't figure out which one and why it is deleting these records. I assume this is related to the previous problem, i.e. the fact that these accounts are still showing up as <domain>\<username> and that since we switched to claims over forms, something is detecting that these <domain>\<username> records are no longer needed and deletes them.
The test and production servers are not set up the same way. The test server only has 2 zones: Default and Internet". The Default zone (http) uses Windows authentication and Internet (https) uses Forms. On the production server we have 3 zones: Default, Extranet and Internet. The Default (http) and internet (https) are configured similar to the test server. The Extranet is configured to use forms just like Internet. However, since Extranet is http, I'm wondering whether it should be configured just like the Default zone, i.e. to use windows. I can't find any documentation online for how the individual zones should be configured for claims over forms, especially if there are more than 2 zones.
Any ideas for how we can troubleshoot this problem will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Querystring in web analytics
Hi
I have a custom displayform for a list in SharePoint 2010.
This page use a query string (?id=...), and my problem is that web analytics reports(top pages) dont take in consideration the query string and give consolidated statistiques for the page (and not for each value of the querystring).
Is there a way to force web analytics to show statistiques for each value of the querystring of the page ? (i saw that web analytics do it for some pages)
Thanks

A site was accidentally deleted by a site collection admin. I'm checking the stage two recycle bin and it isn't there.
My farm is 14.0.6117.5002. The site restore feature was added in SP1 so I definitely meet that requirement. Is there anything I can check before resorting to restoring from DPM?

Issues with the Custom Filter in Datasheet View
I'm seeing some odd, yet intermittent, behavior while trying to filter columns in datasheet view using a custom filter. After clicking to apply a filter to a column and choosing 'Custom Filter...' a pop-up with regular expressions should appear much like the following screenshot:
However sometimes, usually on a page refresh, this pops up instead:
I have been able to replicate this sporadically in both IE 8 and 9 against different columns but it's really inconsistent. I can't seem to find any configuration issues or commonality across the clients that might be responsible. Local installations of Office are 32bit. I know 64bit has been known to cause some issues. I wanted to see if anyone else has run into this issue at all or perhaps it has been addressed in a more recent CU than what I am running (14.0.6117.5002). Any insight would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.
