Went through existing articles. None exactly explains our issue.

Our issue:
all sites in the site collection had local regional settings. index columns were in use. in order to change each site regional settings we need to first disable index colums.
suddenly the farm administrators forced a policy that set all site collection to english regional settings. what happens to sites that were forced to change regional settings.
we use infopath form based solution and there was strange change in behaviour as a result. but this is not an issue for this thread.
are index colums still ok after the forced change?
can we force back the site collection/farm regional settings back to local and all is ok?
should we disable and enable again all index colums?
how is it that site change does not allow regional settings change and farm/site collection change allows it?
thanks in advance!

Please ensure the "Sort Order" option is chosen "General". After that, your "Locale" will be changed successfully.

Changing the default site collection

Hi,
We have two site collections on a dev box. Is there an easy way in central admin or through powershell scripting to change the default site collection?
thanks,
Sherazad

What do you mean by 'Default' site collection?
If you mean the one that is at the root of a Web Application you would need to move the one there to a new path using Move-SPSite, then move the other one to the root location and (assuming you want a straight swap) move the original root site collection
to the path previously used by the other one.
You could backup and restore the sites but that's a bit more effort and confusing imo.

Change regional settings

hi
i want to change regional settings of my system. for example, i want to change date format
is there any api or something like that that i can use.

Within the JVM you have the Locale and TimeZone (and other classes). If you want to change it for the "System" (i.e. the OS), no you cannot (at least not without special libraries and/or a Runtime.exec() call (AFAIK).

Changing regional settings gives error

Hello,
When trying to set the regional settings I get the following error:
The column "column name
Parent Instance" in the list or library "list name" has been marked for indexing. Please turn off all indexed columns before changing the collation of this site. You may re-index those columns after the collation of the site
has been changed
Is there any fix for this? I don't think it's a good idea to remove indexed system columns such as parent, child instance...How would I re-index those system columns? We need the currency, date and time to display according to the chosen
locale.
Thanks,
Martin

Changing regional settings in CS6/Acrobat X Pro

Hello,
I have just installed CS6 and would like to change the regional settings from USA to European A4.
The following test has been done:
Created customised A4 job options for each of: Standard Quality, High Quality, Press Quality
Then edited preference for Conversion from Microsoft Word to PDF using new job option 'Standard Quality A4'
PDF created is still in Letter sizing after rebooting machine.
Note: the original Microsoft Word file has a page setup of A4.
What is the best way to make wholesale changes across Adobe CS6 so that millimetres/A4 settings are the default ?
Thank you.

Hi Cre8tiveNess,
You need to set the same preferences in Control Panel > Adobe PDF Printer > Printing preferences.

Changing regional settings

just moved to US with my HP deskjet ink advantage 4625 all in one printer which was acquired in Israel.
I understood that i need to change the regional settings to be able to use a 564 ink cartridges.
how to do that ?
tnx
jacki

Hi jacki,
I'm sorry to inform you, the HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 4625 do not have any compatible ink cartridges in the USA.
The 564 ink cartridges are identical to the 178 ink cartridges as available in Israel, not to the 655 which are completely different cartridges.
I afraid there are no compatible ink driver for the 4625 in the USA, as the HP Deskjet Ink Advantage Series is not available in the US market.

ICloud is changing regional settings in C++ Runtime

Hello,
I'm developing an app in C++ that is using SQL sentences for storing data in a database and I've a weird problem. When I launch a MFC (Windows) file selection window, iCloud is launched and it's changing the regional settings (locale settings) in the C++ Runtime to English in non-English Windows systems.
After closing the window, iCloud is not restoring the locale settings to the machine original ones, so the execution of the programs that are using the C++ Runtime gets messed (in my case, all the points in SQL sentences are changed to colons, so you can imagine the mess)...
Will Apple launch a fixed iCloud soon?
Thanks!

App-V 5.0 package, struggling to change regional settings

Hello,
I have an issue with a specific company app that requires certain regional settings to be present, which is not acceptable in a RDS server environment.
The tried and failed:
1) Modifying registries under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International doesn't do the trick.
2) Using a script (control.exe intl.cpl,,/f:\\serverfilepath) stopped working with the following error message:
Any recommendations? I was under heavy impression that registries typically solve all issues for such apps.

Hello,
You can most likey include the registry keys in the package - but my assumption is the following;
1. They would be excluded by the sequencer
2. They would be excluded by the client
3. Any API would not directly point to the virtual registry keys
So virtualizing them would be useless.
The last error message seems to relate to how you are locking down the server.

Changed regional settings - connection pane dissapears

I use Version 2.1.1.64 Build MAIN-64.45 on Win XP SP3.
I have changed my windows locale to Luxembourg (control panel -> regional and language options). After that when i run Oracle SQL Developer, connection pane does not show up. After I reverted locale settings back to United States and restarted Oracle SQL Developer, everything got back to normal.
This looks like a bug in that software.

Yes, AFAIK happens in all versions. Some ("rare") locales just don't work.
The more logical workaround instead of changing your system wide settings would be add this to \sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf:
AddVMOption -Duser.region=USHope that helps,
K.

Changing regional settings for a printer

I have printer which is purchased in US and being used in India. It had HP 61 cartridges. Once cartridge finished, I click on buy online from hp help. It showed me 802 series to buy which I ordered online. Look at different support pages, I called HP call center for regionalisation reset, however they need original cartridge in working condition which is not possible now. I have infact thrown old ones. Buying 61 series in India will cost more than a new printer cost. Can you please let me know how to make this printer work with 802series?

Hi In order to perform such a pen regionalization you will need a full set of both Black and Tri-Color genuine HP 802 ink cartridges, the original ink cartridges should not be required for a such, as well you will need to have the printer connected and installed on your computer. Once getting the new ink cartridges contact HP once again, once filling the form within the bottom of the page below you will get a case number and the contact details:https://support.hp.com/in-en/contact-hp/product/HP-Deskjet-3050-All-in-One-Printer-series---J610/4066450/model/4066451#Z7_3054ICK0KGTE30AQO5O3KA30B3 As a reference you may show the following document which clearly show the requirements for a such:A full set of HP cartridges for your new country or regionhttp://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02558798 Please let me know if you experience any further issues after contacting HP again, I will do my best to guide you further

Managed custom properties at site collection level when used as refiner returns no value in search result web part

I have created certain crawled properties and mapped them to the OOB managed properties( refineable active ) in search schema at site collection level and tried to use them as refiner in the search
site at farm level but it returns no value.
But when i use the same crawled property and map it to a service level OOB metadata property ( refineable active ) and use it in search as refiner it returns result , Can you help as to why this difference is there.
What steps should i do so that site level refiners also work in the enterprise search
Thanks in advance

Hi Dextar,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create a site level refiner in SharePoint 2013.
Here is a detailed blog you can refer to:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/tothesharepoint/archive/2013/11/11/how-to-add-refiners-to-your-search-results-page-for-sharepoint-2013.aspx
Be aware that any changes in the manage property required full crawl.

Granting permissions to manage my sites site collections and user profiles

We currently have no governance in place to deal with user profiles and my site site collections.
So the farm has quite a large number of both profiles and site collections which are orphaned. We do not currently run the timer job that deletes my site site
I have a few questions about handling this kind of thing.
1. We have administrative staff who handle the "off boarding" process. They send out mail to people asking whether project folders continue to be needed, etc. and give project members a month to make copies of the important info. Right now, there
are a few of these staff which have site collection admin rights on normal projects.
Is there a way that a powershell script could be constructed to give them the ability to delete obsolete user profiles and site collections without giving them full farm admin rights?
2. Is there a way to set up an AD or SharePoint group and then use that group as a secondary site collection admin on the my site site collections?
3. With appropriate permissions, would they be able to grant someone else permission to look at data in the my site collection to determine whether any of it needed to be kept?
I have been requested as a sharepoint admin to work with the offboarding process staff so that they include the sharepoint my site data in the data that they recommend people check before deleting the data.
I would like to automate as much of the dealings they have to have with the system as possible, just to reduce unrelated accidental actions.

Inder: NO, it has to be a user. But you can go to site action > site settings > site collection administrator > Add that group here.
