    hi,
     i am having a visual studio custom solution having page layouts implemented. In that solution i am having 1  summary links web part and in that i have hard coded few links and this is  deployed on ion dev and staging env.

    http://xyz/ in this summary links. can anyone pls throw some light,such that i can change this link using a power shell script. i know  if i go the VS solution and change the link and redeploy [ update-spsolution
    command] will work.
    but if the links are changing regularly , chnaging the vs solution and redeploying is not a good practice.
    if i elaborate li'l bit,  i am adding the screen shot : i need to get the summary link column's value and  need to update[ delete xisting one and  add new ones ]
    is there any way , i can change the links using power shell script?
    i tried the belwo power shells cript to get the page in the page layouts :
    $web = get-spweb
    "http://siteurl"
    $pubWeb = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PublishingWeb]::GetPublishingWeb($web)

    ##$groupLink = New-Object
    Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.SummaryLink("My group")
    #$groupLink.IsGroupHeader = $true $summaryLinkFieldValue.SummaryLinks.Add($groupLink)

    Hi Shabeaut,
    Could you tell us why do you want to add a link web part to the master page for all pages?
    I tested that Summary Links web part (and other types of web parts) added in the master page under Quick Launch couldn't be edited when I edit the pages inherited from v4.master page, it looks by design.
    Have you tried using the Quick Launch to add the link instead if you want to show links in all pages.
    Thanks

  • Activate design manager (sandbox) solution using power shell - SP2013

    Hi All,
    I have a  design manager (sandbox) solution and deployed in site collection. I am trying to upload the new version using power shell.
    Uninstall-SPUserSolution , Remove-SPUserSolution, Add-SPUserSolution and finally doing Install-SPUserSolution on that time i am getting the following error " Install-SPUserSolution : This file may not be moved, deleted,

    Regards,

    Can you please provide more details on your solution package? Did you use SharePoint Design Manager to create design package? If that is the case then if you read the following article it reads and 
    "In SharePoint 2013 you cannot uninstall an imported design package, and you should never attempt to deactivate a design package through the solution gallery." 
    I think if you read the article it might be helpful.

  • Programmatically create SPGroups using power shell

    hi,
     I wanna create sp groups  programmatically using power shell,
    can anyone pls point me in the right direction.
    i have gone through this code:
    $GroupName = "mygrp1"
    $owner =""
    $member =""
    $Description =""
     $SPWeb.SiteGroups.Add($GroupName, "", "","")
     $SPGroup = $SPWeb.SiteGroups[$GroupName]
     $SPWeb.RoleAssignments.Add($SPGroup)
     $SPWeb.Dispose() 
    just wanted to know whether should i add few code  related with sproleassignments/ sproeldefintions etc we used to do in SP OM through c#
    help is appreciated!

    There are two parts.
    1. Adding a group to the site collection.
    2. assigning permissions to the group.
    The PS script given below first ensures if the group exists or not and then executes the logic. If the group already exists, then it will not add group the site. I would recommed to test it in Dev environment and then use in Prod.
    $site=Get-SPSite $siteCollectionUrl
    $rootSite=$site.RootWeb
    $member=$rootSite.Users["User_Name"]
    $user=$rootSite.Users["Other_User_Name"]
    try
    $grp=$rootSite.SiteGroups["Group Name"]
    catch
    if($grp -eq $null)
    $rootSite.SiteGroups.Add("Group Name",$member, $user, "Group Description")
    $grp=$rootSite.SiteGroups["Group Name"]

  • Remote managment Exchange 2013 SP1 from C# code using Power-Shell.

    Hello,
    Sorry if I am describing something wrong, but it is first time I am using Microsoft development forum.
    I am trying to built library that will manage Exchange remotely using  C# code (VS 2012) and Power-Shell ver.4.0. My workstation and the actual Exchange server physically placed in different domains. In order to test functionalities I am using
    user that is member of all administrating and management groups in the appropriative domain. Remote Power-Shell is enabled on Exchange.
    In order to connect to the Service I am using that part of code :
    internal static bool RedirectionUrlValidationCallback(string redirectionUrl)
    bool result = false;
    var redirectionUri = new Uri(redirectionUrl);
    if (redirectionUri.Scheme.Equals("https"))
    result = true;
    return result;
    internal static ExchangeService ConnectToService(ExchangeVersion version,
    string userName,
    string emailAddress,
    string password,
    string domainName,
    ref Uri autodiscoverUrl)
    ExchangeService service;
    try
    service = new ExchangeService(version);
    service.Credentials = new WebCredentials(userName, password, domainName);
    if (autodiscoverUrl.IsNull())
    var ads = new AutodiscoverService();
    // Enable tracing.
    ads.TraceEnabled = true;
    // Set the credentials.
    ads.Credentials = service.Credentials;
    // Prevent the AutodiscoverService from looking in the local Active Directory
    // for the Exchange Web Services Services SCP.
    ads.EnableScpLookup = false;
    // Specify a redirection URL validation
    //callback that returns true for valid URLs.
    ads.RedirectionUrlValidationCallback = RedirectionUrlValidationCallback;
    // Get the Exchange Web Services URL for the user’s mailbox.
    var response = ads.GetUserSettings(emailAddress, UserSettingName.InternalEwsUrl);
    // Extract the Exchange Web Services URL from the response.
    autodiscoverUrl = new Uri(response.Settings[UserSettingName.InternalEwsUrl].ToString());
    // Update Service Url
    service.Url = autodiscoverUrl;
    else
    service.Url = autodiscoverUrl;
    catch (FormatException fe) // The user principal name(email) is in a bad format. UPN format is needed.
    LoggingFactory.LogException(fe);
    return null;
    catch (AutodiscoverLocalException ale)
    LoggingFactory.LogException(ale);
    return null;
    catch (Exception e)
    LoggingFactory.LogException(e);
    return null;
    return service;
    Then I am trying to reach existing mailbox of that user, using this part of code :
    try
    var runSpace = getRunspace();
    var pwShell = PowerShell.Create();
    pwShell.Runspace = runSpace;
    var command = new PSCommand();
    command.AddCommand("Get-Mailbox");
    command.AddParameter("Identity", userPrincipalName);
    command.AddParameter("RecipientTypeDetails", recipientType);
    pwShell.Commands = command;
    var result = pwShell.Invoke();
    if (result.IsNotNull() && result.Any())
    // TODO : fill appropriative DTO and return it.
    else
    // TODO : send back appropriative error.
    closeRunSpace(runSpace);
    catch (Exception e)
    // TODO : log the exception and send back appropriative error.
    private Runspace getRunspace()
    var runSpaceConfig = RunspaceConfiguration.Create();
    var runSpace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(runSpaceConfig);
    PSSnapInException snapEx;
    var psInfo = runSpaceConfig.AddPSSnapIn("Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010", out snapEx);
    runSpace.Open();
    return runSpace;
    private void closeRunSpace(Runspace runSpace)
    runSpace.Close();
    runSpace.Dispose();
    With this part I had problem. I received exception that appropriative Snap-in is not installed on my computer. I had no installation disk of Exchange in order to install Management Tool (as I understand this is the way to add needed part) so I changed run
    space activation to that part of code :
    private Runspace getRunspace()
    var newCredentials = (PSCredential)null;
    var connectionInfo = new WSManConnectionInfo(new Uri("http://exchange.domainname.local/powershell?serializationLevel=Full"),
    "http://schemas.microsoft.com/powershell/Microsoft.Exchange",
    newCredentials);
    connectionInfo.AuthenticationMechanism = AuthenticationMechanism.Kerberos;
    var runSpace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(connectionInfo);
    runSpace.Open();
    return runSpace;
    Now I am receiving exception :
    "Connecting to remote server exchange.domainname.local failed with the following error message :
    [ClientAccessServer=exchange,BackEndServer=exchange.domainname.local,RequestId=....,TimeStamp=...]
    Access is denied. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic."
    Please help me to understand what I am doing wrong.
    Thank you.
    Alexander.

    In Exchange 2010 you should be using Remote Powershell not local powershell and the snap-in.  Here is a sample that may help you:

    What I have noticed is that you are not a technician and do not know data or PowerShell at all.  I recommend that you obtain the help of a consultant if this is of any importance. Your questions seem to be missing the point of how data works and how
    to manipulate it.
    Remember that initially you wanted all of the file broken at the 'X' character.  Now it appears you just want it broken by altering the HDR and END bits.  You need to rethink what you are doing and ask a consistent question. We can thrash back
    and forth and not get anywhere because it is very difficult to understand what you are trying to do.
    When dealing with porting of data between two tools it is important to both understand how the data is generated and how it is to be consumed,  Once we have a clear idea of this it is usually fairly easy to create a conversion tool.  By thrashing
    back and forth this process can be made to be very difficult.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
    this is a very unusual file and thats why i need help with that, I am working with data bases mostly and very new with power shell and trying to learn, i am trying to make it as understandable as possible, and i appreciate all the help that i can get, but i
    really don't need to read any insult here and you dont have to help me, 

  • Set the column order in document library using power shell

    hi all,
     am looking for a power shell script which set the column order in the document  library, when i try to upload a  document.
     ie; i am  uploading a  doc to the doc lib. which has the below columns:
     columnA -   [choice field  - mandatory ]
     columnB -   [lookup field  - mandatory ]
     columnC -   [single line of text  - optional ]
     columnD -   [choice field  - optional ]
     columnE -   [choice field  - mandatory ]
    now when  the end user uploads a   document in my doc lib, i would like to see the mandatory columns takes up the top order and then optional fields.
     columnA
     columnB
     columnE
     columnC
     columnD
    so, is there any script, through which i can set the mandatory columns which will be coming in top and the optional fields as next order

    This is sample PowerShell code to reorder fields in a content type of a list.
