Hello everyone,

I recently came across a SPS 2010 (SP1) installation where audience targeting not working. I target a navigation link to a “SharePoint group” audience but people not member of that group still can see the link. I tried this on a team site with publishing features turned on and also on a publishing site both behaves the same way. I do the same steps on another 2010 farm and audience targeting works as expected.  

Tried toggling navigation security trimming, audience targeting (from Site Collection Navigation Settings) without any luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Many thanks in advanced!

Hi,

We took Farm backup through UI and we got an exception for one content database.

Now when we are trying to restore from Farm Backup, we are facing the issue as below.

Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.

After googling also I couldn’t get the root cause as we are doing backup and restore through UI.

Please share your thoughts on the same to proceed further.

Regards,

Sudheer

Hi,

Im using the "SharePoint 2010 Administration tool kit” - V2.

I am facing two issues.

1) Full Replication

I have set audience base on a user profile property. I used the below command and ran the tool from Farm A. Not only the user properties in Audence  A (Users belonging to Farm A) gets updated in Farm B, but also the user profiles in Audience B (Users belonging to Farm B) gets updated at the Farm B. My understanding was that the tool updates user profile properties belonging to a particular audience only.

I have configured audiences in both farms and configured "Trusted MySite Host Locations" in both farms.

get-spprofilepropertycollection –source http://FarmA | start-spprofileservicefullreplication -sourcehttp://FarmA -destinationhttp://FarmB–EnableInstrumentation -MaxNumberOfThreads 15 -DoSocialReplication

2) Incremental Replication

when the incremental replication is executed, the respective user profiles are not updated at the other farm. The command is as below:

$mycredential = Get-Credential

get-spprofilepropertycollection –source http://FarmA | start-spprofileserviceincrementalreplication -source http://FarmA -destination http://FarmB -EnableInstrumentation -Credential $mycredential

i get a message "Service has already been started"

Is something missing ?

Hello,

I have set up a workflow for approval, but when the workflow is started, the email is not sent to the people who have been assigned a task in the workflow. I have been assigned a task in the workflow and I can receive the email, but I am the only one who does. However, I am a Farm Admin, but the other users in the workflow are not.

When I look at the workflow history, I see this message.

Error type: Error

User ID: System Account

Description: The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for
the server are configured correctly.

All users have a user profile with the correct email address, and the outgoing email is configured in the system and is working fine. I have restarted the SharePoint timer service, but this had no affect.

Can you offer any suggestion on what is going on and how to fix this problem?

Thanks

Just wondering what other forum users have done regarding the daily administration of the users.

Have you created the End user directly in their SP group (in e.g. department1-members, department1-owners) or have you defined a department_member and an department:owners group in Active Directory and then putted this AD group in the respectively SharePoint group?   

I know it depends where one wants they user administration (located at the AD admin or at the SP admin) – just wondering what others have choosen

Happy holidays !

Hi, I have successfully installed SharePoint 2010 on Windows 7.  However when I browse to Central Administration, I just get a blank page.  I have been able to create a new web application and teamwork site using PowerShell, and that site also returns a blank page.  In the IIS log, I can see that the requests produce a 500 error.  Rerunning the Configuration Wizard has not helped.  Other ASP.NET sites run ok.

Any suggestions?

I am confused. Please someone enlighten me!

I have a two server farm.
Server1 hosts DB +WFE and Server2 is an App Server.

When I run Get-SPServer | Where{ $_.NeedsUpgrade –eq $TRUE} on Server1 it lists Server2 as true (as well as the exchange server)

When I run it on Server2, list lists Server1 as true.(as well as the exchange server)

When I run this PS on each server it preports false: (get-spserver $env:computername).NeedsUpgrade

PSconfig was successful on each computer.

What am I missing? TIA

I have installed BranchCache in my SharePoint Farm. I want to implement BranchCache is Distributed mode.

I had also setup the BranchCache to Win 7 Enterprise Client Machine. Now I need to point the Content Server. What Can I use for my Content Server.? WFE or Database Server. I read and follows the step from the following link. It says content server.

In either cases, I tried with first WFE to Enable the BranchCache then I tried setting up the BranchCache in Database Content Server. Then I tried on Both Server. But Its Speed up the loading of web page but not the File Download.

Meaning, I have more then 20MB excel file. I need to access that File from London SharePoint Site to Content Server (SQL) in Piscataway NJ. Assuming all the Infrastructure is perfectly setup. BranchCache suppose to do something like following.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd637832(v=ws.10).aspx

1. First Person Download this File Take Some time in my case its taking 1Min to open up this 20MB file.

2. As soon the Second Person is trying to Access/Download the same File if they are on the Same regional Office in London It will not download the File over the WAN it suppose to download the File from the First Person's BranchCache Location.

My Concern is - Its not doing the Same.

Can, any one please guide me on the same? - I am following steps given on the following link.

Good afternoon.  I have a 2-server farm (WFE/SQL).  We moved our WFE server to a DMZ on another VLAN,  opened up all of the necessary ports, and were able to connect.  Then, we changed from the default SQL port of 1433 to something else.  Since doing so, the SharePoint Configuration Wizard fails at Step 3 every time we run it, with the message of:

Value cannot be null. 

Parameter: Service

What is odd, is that when I get to the portion of the Configuration Wizard where it asks for Database Settings, I can enter the Database server name's alias, click "Retrieve Database Names", and it populates the "Database Name" combo box with "SharePoint_Config" (Which is correct, of course).  If it wasn't able to speak to the SQL server, it wouldn't be able to do this, yes?  Because if I put an incorrect server name/alias in there, it will fail to retrieve a list of databases.

At any rate, after running it, it fails.  Windows Firewall is not turned on, ports are open from the DMZ to the Intranet (as well as all other common ports).  So far, I haven't found answers online, and am rather stuck.  Has anyone else experienced this, and if so - do you have any advice to troubleshoot it?

* I have ran CliConfg.exe on the WFE server to enter the SQL server aliases.

* The SQL server has the correct aliases set up to communicate on the new port (to replace 1433).
