Content Database Status Error in SharePoint 2010 Central Administration

Hi,
I am having a new problem with SharePoint 2010 on Windows Server 2008 R2. I have SQL Server 2008 R2 as SharePoint Database on Windows Server 2008 R2. I have total no. of
Seven Content Databases for one Web Application. I found
two of my Content Databases showing Error under the
Database Status column in Manage Content Database section in
Central Administration. Five Content Databases are showing
Started.
Would someone please guide how to resolve it and whats wrong is going on?
Thanks in advance.

What is the output of:
$db = Get-SPContentDatabase <error'ed db name>
$db.Status
And can you set it to Started?
$db = Get-SPContentDatabase <error'ed db name>
$db.Status = "Online"
$db.Update()

Question on Location for SharePoint 2010 Central Administration Console

I am a SQL Server Database Administrator and I am new to SharePoint 2010. I have been asked to find out what the best practice is for the SharePoint 2010 Central Administration console. Should it be on the application server or should it be
on it's own server?
lcerni

Hi Icerni,
As Scott suggested, by default, the server that hosts Central Administration in a three-tier farm is an application server.
You might be interested in server role:

process, I get an error stating "This user does not have permission on the SQL server".Though ,I have given this user dbcreator role on that particular database instance.Could you please help me out?

Does the initial installation account used to set-up the farm have these permissions on the database?

Error in sharepoint 2010 designer while saving:"Content in the embedded form may be changed by the the server to remove unsafe content.Do you want to reload your page to see the results of the save? "

Hi,
I am doing development in sharepoint 2010 and facing this very weird problem.
If I create a site page with the sharepoint look and feel for that site and try to save the site page,i am getting this error:**"Content in the embedded form may be changed by the the server to remove unsafe content.Do you want to reload your page to see
the results of the save? "** and when i say reload,the server removes some parts of my page, e.g onclick event of html,asp buttons.
This error just comes for any sharepoint site page,e.g i took a copy of 'How To Read Library' page just edited the text part of taht page,and when i try to save this error again comes up.
However,if i create a simple aspx page with only htmltags like head body,then thr is no problem ,everything works great. But sharepoint look and feel pages are giving troubles while saving.
has anybody seen this earlier,what could be the reason for this?
Thanks

I think the excerpt and link below is the why, but the page talks about server code and not javascript. I guessing that this is why blank pages work, but not wiki pages. Can anyone verify this?
The following are general rules for using server-side code on a site page.
If the page is uncustomized, server-side code is supported on the page.
If the page is customized, server-side code does not run, and the page does not render. This includes the code-behind for the page itself.

SQL Exceptions, transport-level errors on SharePoint 2010 App Server

SharePoint 2010 becomes inaccessible 2-3 times per day. It happens at approximately the same times: 8 PM, 1 AM and 1 PM. It is inaccessible for about 3-4 minutes and then comes back on its own.
During the time it is down, we see the following errors in the event viewer on the application server:
EventID: 5586 Task Category: Database -
Unknown SQL Exception 64 occurred. Additional error information from SQL Server is included below.A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server.
(provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The specified network name is no longer available.)
EventID: 3 Task Category: None -
.Net SqlClient Data Provider: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server. (provider: TCP Provider, error:
0 - The specified network name is no longer available.)
EventID: 6398 Task Category: Timer -
The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Monitoring.HealthStatUpdateJobDefinition (ID f9db48f1-f115-47ab-99b6-552460cbb782) threw an exception. More
information is included below. A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The specified network name is no longer available.)
EventID: 8086 Task Category: Business Data -
The BDC Service application failed due to a SQL Exception: SQLServer host ums1spd1v. The error returned was: 'A transport-level error has occurred when sending the request to
the server. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.)'
The SharePoint logs have errors during the same time period saying the same kinds of things: Sql exception raw message: A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server,
The specified network name is no longer available, etc.
Our network administrator has looked at the issue and cannot find any network problems.
He setup a continuous ping from the app server to the database server.
Even during the times these errors are occurring, the app server is still able to reach the database server.
However, you cannot ping the app server itself during this time.
Our database administer cannot find any SQL Server issues.
There are no errors in the event viewer or the SQL logs on the database server.
In Central Admin, we can see that one or two jobs fail with SQL errors during the times these errors take place.
It is almost always the “User Profile Service Application – User Profile Language Synchronization Job” and often the “Health Statistics Updating” or “Crawl Log Report for Search Application Search Service Application”.
These jobs run successfully at many other times during the day.
Is there a good way to tell if the database, network or SharePoint itself is the root of these problems?
The database and network guys say there are no problems in their areas, but all I can find in the SharePoint logs is that it can’t reach the database server.
Thank you for any suggestions you may have!

Since these seem to happen at very specific times, I would run a NetMon trace at that window to capture what is going back and forth (or perhaps the timer service is just unable to reach the SQL server).

Adobe Acrobat X Pro Error in SharePoint 2010

I have a group of users who are unable to access PDF Files in a
Specific Folder in SharePoint 2010
They are however able to open PDF Files from emails, desktop, other shared folders and
other folders in SharePoint 2010. See the error message below.
Error Message:
There was an error opening this document. File open failed.
Note the users are currently using Adobe Acrobat X PRO. Could this be a permission issue in SharePoint?
Regards,

Hello,
In addition to permission, are you able to open same PDF from other folder or library? Just download PDF file using windows explorer and upload in any library folder and open it.
Since you are able to open other PDF files so i suspect that there is issue with specific file only. You might also try to same file in different browser.

Preset default value of DropDown based on Content Type selection in the SharePoint 2010 library

Hi,
I have three site content types (Admin, Technical & Well) derived from base content type "Base" and added this content types to "Documents" library. I also have one site column "Category"(Dropdown) with values (Admin, Technical
& Well) which is available in all the content types.
Now, when i try to create a document based on "Admin" content type then "Category" value should be preset to "Admin", similarly when i select "Technical" content type then "Category" should be preset to "Technical"
and same with "well".
Can some one provide me how i can achieve this?
I am working in the SharePoint 2010 environment.
Regards,
Chakradhar

My understanding is that , you have to display the category in all the content types.
So in that case create a content type like
Create a base content type -- with column category.
Create a Admin content type based on base content type as parent. By default ,the category column is available in admin content.
Create a Technical content type based on base content type as parent. By default ,the category column is available in Technical content type.
Create a Well content type based on base content type as parent. By default ,the category column is available in Well content type.
Do you want to create using sharepoint ui or code(visual studio)?

Content Database removed from protected SharePoint Farm

Hi,
We have a SharePoint 2007 farm protected with DPM 2012. We have removed a content database and now DPM is complaining about it, which is the expected behaviour in order to get noticed of accidentally missing databases. According to several sources, the right
way to get rid of these alerts is to stop protection - retaining data - and reprotecting it using the same parameters, so the DPM agent finds the retained data as a starting point.
However, our farm has about 4Tb allocated and we have less than 1 additional Tb free now in the DPM Pool, so if we stop protection and retain data, DPM will complain about the farm not fitting in that Tb (looks like DPM does not take into account that pertinent
data exists previously when estimating the replica and shadow sizes), so we will not be able to protect the farm again if we stop protection retaining data.
Funny, eh? any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
When you stop protection and retain the replica, DPM will move the sharepoint data source into an inactive protection group. When you re-protect the same sharepoint farm, DPM will first query the inactive protection group to see if a replica exists
for that data source and if so will reuse that replica. It will then do a consistency check to bring the replica up to date, then resume normal backups. Be sure the use the same recovery goals if you are not adding it back to the same protection group.

Duplicate groups in Content Query Web Part in SharePoint 2010

Hello,
I'm facing one weird issue in CQWP. I've a document library in SharePoint 2010 site where I have 2 columns - Title and Document Type. The column 'Document Type' is a Single line of Text column and mandatory. Users have entered bunch of documents in this
library by populating the metadata.
On one wiki page I have a CQWP where I'm showing the documents of this library grouped by 'Document Type'. The problem I am facing is that some documents are showing in different columns even though their 'Document Type' value is exactly same. Please see
below screenshot:
You can see that the documents under 'Industry Group Publications' are showing in 3 different columns, why?
My CQWP settings are:
Presentation: Number of columns to be shown: 5 (I've changed it to 3 also, but the same result)
Group items by: Document Type and sort order is Ascending (I've tried changing sort order as well, same result)
Limit number of items to display: This checkbox is unchecked (unlimited)
It's not just one case. I've seen this issue on other sites as well where same 'Group by' column value is being shown in different column rather than under same column while values are EXACTLY same.
Has anybody else faced this issue? What's the reason and solution to this problem?
Thanks in advance!
--Ashish

Hi Ashish,
I tried to reproduce the issue in my environment. I created a content query web part displaying one library documents. The library has two columns, title and document type. However, document type is a single text column you need to manually write content
into.
I set the web part to group items by document type and left other settings to be by default. It worked as expected. I’d like to know if there is any difference from your situation, especially for the document type column so I can reproduce the issue from
my side.

SharePoint 2010 Central Admin to add users from AD from specific Department

Dear All,
I am working on SharePoint Foundation 2010. I have to add users from specific department to a particular site collection.
Please let me know if there is a way to import users from Active Directory based on the 'Department' filed in
SPCA.
Thanks.

Is that okay if I share the PowerShell code? Do you have access to Active Directory and can you query information?
Refer this Link
Code
# set site collection owner for all sites...
# 1-2012
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell
# $AccountList is an array of Windows Identities in the format of $AccountList = @("DOMAIN\USERID" , "DOMAIN\USERID2")
$accountList = @(Get-ADUser -Filter {(Department -like '*Ur Needs*')})
#$AccountList = @("LAB\Jack", "Lab\tom", "Lab\dick", "lab\harry")
#this gets an array of objects representing the sites at the IIS level:
$IISSites = Get-SPWebApplication
Foreach($oneIISSite in $IISSites)
#using .Sites, we can get a list of the site collections
foreach ($SharepointSiteCollection in $oneIISSite.Sites)
write-host $SharepointSiteCollection.url -ForegroundColor Cyan
$spweb = Get-SPWeb $SharepointSiteCollection.url
#now we have the website, so lets look at each account in our array
foreach ($Account in $AccountList.samaccountname)
#lets see if the user already exists
Write-host "Looking to see if User " $account " is a member on " $SharepointSiteCollection.url -foregroundcolor Blue
$user = Get-SPUSER -identity $Account -web $SharepointSiteCollection.url -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue #This will throw an error if the user does not exist
if ($user -eq $null)
#if the user did NOT exist, then we will add them here.
$SPWeb.ALLUsers.ADD($Account, "", "", "Added by AdminScript")
$user = Get-SPUSER -identity $Account -web $SharepointSiteCollection.url
Write-host "Added user $Account to URL $SPWeb.URL" -Foregroundcolor Magenta
else
Write-host "user $Account was already in URL " $SPWeb.URL -Foregroundcolor DarkGreen
if ($user.IsSiteAdmin -ne $true)
$user.IsSiteAdmin = $true
$user.Update()
Write-host "$account has been made an admin on $SPWeb.URL" -Foregroundcolor Magenta
else
Write-host "$account was already an admin on $SPWeb.URL" -Foregroundcolor DarkGreen
$SharePointSiteCollection.Dispose()
Note:
First uncomment the second $accountlist add the user manually to test
If you have AD module installed in your SP server you can use
$accountList = @(Get-ADUser -Filter {(Department -like '*Ur Needs*')})

Sharepoint 2010 Foundation administrator permission gone

Hi all experts;
today, we found that the administrator privilege on Team Site Owners suddenly gone. All administrators under this group is no longer to manage the Sharepoint site and the users cannot add and edit any new or existing files.
It affect the domain adminstrator account too, any way to fix it?
Symptoms, under Home page of Sharepoint 2010 foundation, my own user account and the administrator account cannot change the permission on user account. No Sharepoint Designer feature listed, etc.

you dont need to rebuild the sharepoint for this, rather the restore the Content database just before when it was working fine.
I would check at SQL Server, if Content DB is marked as readonly. also check from central admin if site collection is locked as read only or other. could you please confirm it?

Can't access Foundation 2010 Central Administration

Hi all
I have a strange issue I can't find the answer to. When I access CA, I get the top menu but nothing else. It shows only 1 item in the vertical navigation bar on the left which is Central Administration and the right side shows Resources with a +
sign to add new items. The rest of the screen, specially the middle, is empty. I migrated from 3.0 to 2010 SP2. Everything else seems to load ok, except for CA. I checked the authentication method and Windows Auth is enabled, the rest are disabled.
Any ideas?
PD

Hi,
Check the option remember the credentials when you log in as another user. Also add SharePoint sites to trust sites or internal sites in your IE settings. See more about prompting credentials：
