Cannot manage Promoted Sites

Hello,
I've got the problem that I receive the error "Your search encountered an error. If the problem persists, contact the portal site administrator." when I want to manage the Promoted Sites in the Central Admin.
I can create New Links, which are getting promoted as desired. But I can't see and therefore I can't delete any existing promoted sites.
Probably there were deleted the target audience which was in use for a promoted site as it is described in this article:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/12edcfb3-a71a-449b-9b95-43f94cb53fe1/promoted-sites-sharepoint-2013?forum=sharepointadmin#22572cac-88df-496b-8e19-3eb8b4a27b0e
Can someone tell me, how to use PowerShell to manage/list the Promoted Sites with the used targed audiences?
I've found the following article how to add Promoted Sites with PowerShell but I'm not able to list the Sites.
http://prasadtech2.blogspot.it/2013/07/sharepoint-2013-how-to-add-promoted.html
Thanks for help,
Matthias

I did some more researching on this. It turns out that the promoted sites are stored in the SharedListSync table of the User Profile DB. When managing these items, they are simply retrieved using
dbo.profile_GetSharedListSync store procedure.
There is not much that can go wrong with this code other than the database\table not existing or the stored procedure not existing. The code for the sites doesn't involve any other tables or stored procs, so a simple delete from the table would be
the solution if you can't get to it using the web UI, but you should confirm with Microsoft support before you execute that as a final step.

I cannot add a site to the list of allow micro sites on Flash Player settings manager

I cannot add a site to the list of allow micro sites on Flash Player settings manager.
as Adobe says at his help document (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlayer/LSM/WS6aa5ec234ff3f285139dc56112e3786b68c-7ff8.htm l):
Displays a list of previously visited websites that have asked to use the camera or microphone on your computer. You can allow or block the use of your camera and microphone by sites on the list. You can also ask to be prompted for permission to use them. Finally, you can choose to remove sites from the list. Removing a site deletes all settings and data stored for that site in Flash Player.
The list initially contains only the sites you have already visited. If you want to specify camera and microphone settings for sites you have not yet visited, you can choose to add sites to the list. Once a site is on the list, you can specify whether to always allow camera and microphone use, ask permission, or never allow camera and microphone use by that site.
I cannot find any button to add a website. Can you help me please.
Thanks in advanced

Windows AD user cannot use Promotion management, Why?

A Procedure is distributed by SAP how to Use ”Promotion Management” in a OTAP/ DTAP street.
See Chapter/Secton 05 of this document: https://archivesaptechedhandson.hana.ondemand.com/contentArchive/AP263_Exercises_VHO_FINAL.pdf
This is a very good/useful procedure. This procedure works with an “Enterprise” Account.
In our environment we ONLY work with “Windows AD” accounts. (to keep users management very straight forward.)
We do not get the procedure working with “Windows AD” account.
Our procedures stops at Section: “07.3 Add to VM”:
The selected webi document, within the promotion Job, is not getting "checked in" in Version Management.
After that all other steps are useless.
Windows AD user cannot use Promotion management, but Why?
(If we use version managment on the individual webi report, with a windows AD user everyting works fine)

Sebastian,
you showed us the right direction.
We run SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.1 Support Pack 2 Patch 3.
In SAPBO4.1 we had to extend the properties of 2 services:
AdaptiveJobServer and the AdaptiveProcessingServer.
Now we can use windows active directory for promotion management,
thanx.

I cannot Publish my site after using the Publish Public Site Manager. An error, with no explanation is returned.

The problem we’re having has to do with transitioning our existing Easter I Tunes U site over to an iTunes U Public site as the instructions below tell us to do.
-          I can access the itunes U Public Site Manager fine with my ID.
-          I was able to make some changes to our existing site to get it ready for publishing it to the iTunes U public site format.
-          I can preview our existing site as a new Public Site fine from within the Public Site Manager application.
-          However, when I try to Publish it I get an error that says :   An error has occurred during the publishing of your content. Try again
Looking for some support to tell me what we’re not doing correctly to migrate our existing site over.

Here are the answers
Eastern CT State University is no longer in the iTunes U directory .    r
The have not migrated their site to iTunes U Public Site Manager. Starting June 2010 we notified all iTunes U site administrators for any site in the iTunes store that they would need to migrate their existing site to iTunes U Public Site Manager in the future. In Feb. 2011 we notified them that the deadline for migration would be April 2011 and that if they had not migrated their site would no longer appear on the list.
For Eastern CT State University to return to the list, they just need to transition over to an iTunes U Public Site Manager based site. Information on how to do so can be found here -http://deimos.apple.com/rsrc/doc/UsingiTunesUPublicSiteManager/CommonQuestions/c hapter_14_section_2.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/iTUPSM-CH5-SW2

Nick Good ?uestion!
I am the New Admin for The University of New Orleans, and after reading the response to your initial question I think we fall into the category of needing to migrate to Public site manager. But looking at the tutorial which is mainly text, I cannot follow the instructions. Do you have a screen shot of what step two because I cannot find the " iTunes U Public Site Manager in the Tools area."
Thank you!

Add a new Promoted Sites webpart

I want to add a promoted sites web-part to a page in a (sub-) site collection (of my SharePoint online site).
It seems obvious, but I can't find it (& Google/Bing aren't helping). I know the promoted sites is 'special' so maybe it needs special handling.

Hi,
Based on your description, you want to add the promoted sites web part to a page in SharePoint online.
By design, the promoted sites web part cannot be added to other pages directly. There is a workaround.
You could create a provider hosted app to display the same links as Promoted Site Web Part, then insert this app to other pages. The provider hosted app is that the app purchaser’s IT department must host a provider-hosted app on a dedicated server or third-party
hosting service. Depending on your choice, these apps run either on your server or in the cloud. A provider-hosted app can also include SharePoint components that run in SharePoint, so it can be mixed in its hosting.
The article below is about overview of apps for SharePoint.

Cannot manage my website due to firefox update

cannot manage my website (dotster hosted) due to my updated version of firefox. dotster says firefox was asked to fix the problem but hasn't. need to run firefox 4.0 or older but don't know how to have two firefox versions on my computer at once. how to download old version w/out messing up updated.

Thanks. I was unaware of a portable version. Seeing how it's still newer than a 4.0, I'm not sure if it would work or still have the same hiccups the updated full version has. There are verification issues and html vs. plain text issues between dotster and the latest Firefox versions. Dotster said it has to be 4.0 or older. If I find a secure site to download an old version, can download it without it affecting my current version? Can I have them both running without them affecting each other? I'm wondering why Firefox is not taking care of the problem (informed by dotster that they're still waiting on Firefox for a fix).

Solved: I cannot manage (bring online, initialize, partition, format, or write to) a VHDX hard drive once it has "Enable Virtual Hard Disk Sharing" enabled.

Hello,
Issue:
On a Virtual Machine with a secondary VHDX attached, I cannot manage (bring online, initialize, partition, format, or write to) the VHDX hard drive once it has "Enable Virtual Hard Disk Sharing (VHD Sharing)" enabled.
Questions:
Should I be able to manage (bring online, initialize, partition, format, and write to) a VHDX hard drive once it has VHD Sharing enabled? If I should be able to manage it, what am I missing?
Topography:
One SuperMicro Cluster In a Box (CIB) with 2012 R2 Data Center on each node. Microsoft Failover Cluster installed and working on each node. The Failover Cluster Servers on each host passes all cluster validation tests. Two Hyper-V 2012 R2 Data Center Virtual
Machine (VM) servers, one on each node. 1 common Cluster Shared Volume (CSV) and 1 Generation 2 Scale-Out File Server (SOFS) shared volume both Resilient File System (REFS) formatted. One 5 Gigabit (Gb) Virtual Hard Drive Type X (VHDX) file on the CSV and/or
SOFS. Integrity bit and read only turned off on VHDX file.
Each of the two Hyper-V VMs have one 127Gb VHDX Generation 2 primary hard drive and 1 VHDX secondary hard drive attached, both on SCSI Controller #1.
Background:
If I start VM1 without the VHD Sharing enabled on the secondary hard drive, I can bring the drive online, initialize, partition, format, and write to the drive.
If I enable VHD Sharing, I can no longer modify the drive in Disk Management in any way. With or without VM2 running.
Both VMs and the CSV and SOFS are on the same host cluster server, or not, no difference…
The VHDX is referenced either by the CSV name C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1\TEST1.VHDX
or a Shared Folder name
\\sharedfolder\folder\Test1.VHDX .
If I start VM1 with VHD Sharing disabled and I format the drive, then shut down and enable VHD Sharing, the drive is offline and requests initialization which fails with an "I/O device error", every other attempt to manage the drive fails with
the same "I/O device error", error.

Hi All,
I had to buy a Willy Wonka bar and spend a golden ticket to get an answer to this one.
We found that the default LogicalSectorSizeBytes of a VHDX is 512b. It needs to be 4kb.
The Host drive doesn't seem to matter CSV or SOFS. Below is a way to create a VHDX with the correct LogicalSectorSizeBytes.
In Power Shell, type --> New-VHD -Path C:\ClusterStorage\Volume4\Cluster2DataDisks\Cluster2Disk1.vhdx -SizeBytes 200Gb -PhysicalSectorSizeBytes 4kb -LogicalSectorSizeBytes 4kb
Attach the resulting file to your guest cluster servers and set the Enable Virtual Hard Disk Sharing option on both server. You should now be able to bring the drives on-line and initialize them. They will also add to the guest cluster pool.
Change the size, path and file name above to fit your Cluster Servers configuration.
Thank You
Sachin Kumar Support Engineer | Windows Server Setup Team | Microsoft Enterprise Platform for finding the answer to this one.
Hope this helps others.

I cannot view my site in browser or publish my site after 2014.3 update

Hi,
I updated to 2014.3 and cannot view my site in browser or publish. I see that alot of other people are having issues. Can you please assist. This is very frustrating.
I am using OS X Yosemite 10.10.2.
Thank you
Brett

Hi Sanjit,
I cannot even publish the site. Muse crashes when I try to view site in browser and it crashes when I try to publish the site. It is not the browsers - yes I have tried. It has only happened since I updated to 2014.3 - just like everyone else having problems. This is a problem with the update. I can make a new site in the new release and it works - however all existing sites built before 2014.3 release is no good. This a big problem that needs sorting out. I should not have to rebuild everything again. I have sent my muse file via dropbox, as I have seen other people having trouble being asked to send the file through and it will be looked at. The url is http://australiasnaturecoast.businesscatalyst.com/ . This is not the correct version as I made a new site in the new muse update. I need my original version to work. I have tried uninstall and reinstall of Muse and this has not helped.
Thanks

Hello! I am trying to sync my iPhone 4 to my iTunes. My phone is connected to my computer, (was able to import pics) but I cannot manage my apps or music in iTunes. I ran diagnostics and it says 'no iPhone found'. It then takes me to Apple Support that says:
The device cannot be restored in iTunes.
An exclamation point, question mark, plug symbol, or "X" appears next to the device's entry in Device Manager.
During an update or restore, the device may no longer be recognized by iTunes
HELP!

Hello, Shandey.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
With the symptoms you described, try the step in the article below. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode and If you see two "Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)" entries with exclamation marks on them. Then select the appropriate operating system that you are using.

Outlook 2007 on Terminal Server cannot manage Public Folder Favorites after Migration to Exchange 2013

Hi,
we are running a Server 2008 R2 as a Terminal Server with Outlook 2007 SP3 (incl Nov 2012 Update 12.0.6665.5000) which is known as fully supported with Exchange 2013.
With Exchange Server 2007 we did not have any issues. But after having successfully migrated to Exchange 2013 we cannot manage our public folders favorites from these clients anymore.
As we are running Outlook 2007 on a WTS we can not use Exchange Cache Mode and so we can also not download Public-Folders-Favorites as an option. Whenever we try to delete existing favorites or when we try to delete public folders with content or subfolders
there will be an error msg that says that it cannot be deleted and that there may be no sufficient permissions. But this IS NOT the issue NOR the solution as I have full admin rights and am owner of the public folders.
On single fat clients with Outlook 2007 with Exchange Cache Mode enabled we can manage the favorites and the public folders without problem.
We need to be able to manage the favorites of all users (circa 50-60 users) from the WTS with Outlookm 2007. I have no more ideas right now. Does anyone know how to get this settled?
Thanks, Paula

Hi,
Based on the description, users could access public folders successfully, but when they tried to manage public folder favorites or wanted to remove specified folders, they got error message of no sufficient permissions.
Is it right?
You mentioned on single fat clients with Outlook 2007 with Exchange Cache Mode enabled, user can operate normally. Is this a WTS with Outlook 2007 installed?
If possible, please switch this Outlook client from cached mode to online mode to check result.
Best regards,

I cannot access a site I use often as a403 error occurs. How do I resolve

I cannot access a site I use often as a 403 error occurs. How do I resolve?

You need to contact the website and tell them to upgrade their security protocols. Especially the following:
* The site uses SSLv3, meaning it's vulnerable to the well known POODLE attack. https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2014/10/14/the-poodle-attack-and-the-end-of-ssl-3-0/
* The site uses RC4, which is insecure.
* The site does not support TLS 1.2, which is recommended.
You can see a full list of all the problems with the website at https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=secure.crbonline.gov.uk
It very soon will not work in Google Chrome either, so it's in the website's best interest to update ASAP (besides protecting their users from having all their data and information stolen)

Cannot sigh into sites in Safari

I cannot sign into sites in Safari. I put in user name and password and the sites just cycle back to wanting the username and password.
I got here through Firefox.
I have removed all of the cookies and reset safari, neither of which worked.
What now?

Are you running an ad-blocking extension? There are reports here that some can interfere with openign pages that are not threats.

Can anyone help me with an iWeb problem? I cannot save the site after making changes. I receive this error: "website.sites2 could not be saved"

Can anyone help me with an iWeb problem? I cannot save the site after making changes. I receive this error: "website.sites2 could not be saved"

You could try duplicating the Domain.sites2 file and launch this in iWeb. Delete the last page you edited and try saving. If that doesn't work, undo and try deleting another and so on...
If you can find the problem page you would only have to rebuild it rather than the whole site.
The other possibility is to create a new site on the same domain file and drag each page in turn down to it from the top site and try to save each time.

Manage several sites

Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to create and manage several sites (with different domain, login page, etc.) from a single instance of the Oracle Portal. If not, do I have to create a new instance for each new portal?
I would really appreciate any information or location where I may find in-depth information.
Thanks in advance, Juan.

Perhaps I was not clear in my first post...
I have one MobileMe (.mac) account, which I currently have five sites hosted on. These sites were built in iWeb '08. I have had no problems with hosting multiple sites on MobileMe, so I'm not sure what you mean when you say that this is not possible.
I have built a sixth site in iWeb '09 on a different computer than my other five sites are built/stored on. I would like to publish this site to my MobileMe account as well - just add it to the roster, if you like. It has a different name than my other sites, so presumably if I sign into my MobileMe account on that computer, it would publish the site alongside the others, correct? I just don't want to publish this new site and for some reason have it delete the other five sites already being hosted.
