Changing Site Collection URL

Can I change the URL for a Site collection in a Host Named Site Collection setup using PowerShell commands? I will be using Kerberos authentication.
Thanks
MP

Hi MP,
Please perform the steps below:
1. Execute the command below:
Set-SPSite -Identity "http://oldhost" -Url "http://newhost"
2. Start a crawl (incremental is enough).
3. Update the DNS entries.

  • People Picker in Central Administration on change Site Collection Administrator page.

    Hi there
    We are coming to the end of our rope here.
    We have a problem where the people picker is not working in Central Administration, particularly the change Site Collection administrator page. It simply does nothing but hang the page, it doesn't even give the red squigglies. The search dialogue boxes also
    hangs. It works in other parts of Central Administration.
    The environment has 2 domains with one way trust between them and the peoplepicker-searchadforest attribute is set.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi Chad,
    Did this issue only happen to the "_admin/owners.aspx" page for your Central Administration site?
    Please compare the peoplepicker-searchadforest attribute for your Central Administration web applicaiton with other working web application, see if they are the same ( iisreset may need for your Central Administration ).
    Also check
    ULS log for more related error message (also try others may like "developer dashboard"，"fiddler", ect.) recoreded when this issue occurs.

            public override void FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
                try

    Hi,
    In my test environment, an exception(Input string was not in a correct format.) occurred at this line when I ran your code.
    webElevated.AllProperties["SRCH_SB_SET_WEB"] = string.Format("{\"Inherit\":false,\"ResultsPageAddress\":{0},\"ShowNavigation\":false}",SPUrlUtility.CombineUrl(SPContext.Current.Site.Url, "/search/Pages/results.aspx"));

    If the issue still exists, I suggest you debug the code to get more information.

  • How to give options to user to select multiple site collection url in sharepoint for a web application.

    In my environment, I have one web application, inside which for four different region, we have 4 different site collection. Now head of the company wants, when he logs in , he should get the display of all the four regions urls, and the one which he selects,
    should be redirected.
    Like, suppose I have a web application named as www.abc.com
    Under which I have www.abc.cm/sites/1 and
    www.abc.com/sites/2 and so forth.
    Now when head of the company access this url www.abc.com , he should get the display to select any one of the, url and should be redirected.
    Please suggest how to achieve this.

    You have multiple options.
    1. You can create a links web part and add the links manually.(As there are only 4 sites) 
    2. You can automate by using SharePoint designer.

  • Get site collection url, site url and list url from a full uri?

    If I have incoming: only URI's of the format http://a.b.c/d/e/f/g/h/i/j/k/l/m/n/o/p.docx
    (And these are coming from multiple farms and multiple site collections) (and i have a web api on some remote server) (and have all the authentication details)
    And I want to query just the single the item via csom : check one column and if value="yes" then download the doc:
    a. how do i get the absolute site url out of it for " clientcontext ctx = new clientcontext(THISURL) "
    b. how do i then get the list uri out of it to push a caml query to to then retrieve it
    I could :
    a. strip off the filename, that is the easy part :)
    b.  I could paste "/_api/contextinfo" behind it and POST it first as a httprequest. Then first get the site and web url and later on
    find a way to find the list url (which is probably the first item behind the fullWebUrl), but it seems weird to mix this in the mix
    Basically im looking for something that tells me what is what in http://a.b.c/d/e/f/g/h/i/j/k/l/m/n/o/p.docx

    Sorry, GetList is only available in the O365 version of Microsoft.SharePoint.Client. If you could test for a root site collection and if there is not one then take the scheme ... + Uri.segments[0] and then get the context. After that you can use
    the GetFileByServerRelativeUrl. The following demonstrates this.
    public static void GetFileList()
    string fileUrl = "http://basesmc15/teamonesubone/teamsubonesubone/Shared%20Documents/folderholder/newauthor6.pdf";
    Uri fileUri = new Uri(fileUrl);
    Uri webUrl;
    ClientContext rootContext = new ClientContext(fileUri.Scheme + Uri.SchemeDelimiter + fileUri.Host);
    webUrl = Web.WebUrlFromPageUrlDirect(rootContext, fileUri);
    ClientContext subContext = new ClientContext(webUrl.ToString());
    File file = subContext.Web.GetFileByServerRelativeUrl(fileUri.AbsolutePath);
    List list = file.ListItemAllFields.ParentList;
    subContext.Load(list);
    subContext.ExecuteQuery();

  • Changing site collections logos across all site collections

    HI All,
    I need to change the logo across all site collections, which are around 300-400, so don't intend to do this manually.
    My question is, will simply replacing the current logo in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE....
    with the logo I want to change to, and naming it exactly the same as the current logo, not achieve this?
    I have searched online and people run PS to achieve this, but in my head the above seems to be work, please correct me?
    Thanks

    I completely agree with Alex and not suggest to touch/change root folder. Initially it might looks easy but it may create issue.
    My option is to BRAND the sites. Master page branding is not a new concept and it mainly use for unanimous look and feel

  • How-To: Migrate Classic Path-based SP2010 Site Collection with OOTB/SPD Workflows = To: Claims Different Path-based SP2013 Site Collection ?

    Hello,
    I want to move an entire site collection from an old SharePoint 2010 farm to a new SharePoint 2013 farm. But there are a few requirements:
    - The old SP2010 site collection contains multiple SPD Workflows and OOTB Workflows.
    - URLs must be changes as the example: 
    Source Site Collection URL: http://OldWebApp.SP2010.com/sites/OldSiteCollection 
    Destination Site Collection URL shall be: http://NewWebApp.SP2013.com/projects/NewSiteCollection
    - There are no custom solutions nor web parts.
    How to accomplis this successfully ?
    My steps would be:
    1) Copying the content database from SP2010 SQL to the SP2013 SQL via: Copy-only backup feature, or the traditional Backup & Restore.
    2) I have already the Web Application on the new SP2013 ready, So, I will just need to create the destination site collection in the SP2013 environment with the new desired URL: (http:\\NewWebApp.SP2013.com\projects\NewSiteCollection).
    3) Remove the newly created Content Database of the new site collection in the destination environment.
    4) Test-SPContentDatabase -name Old_Content_DB -webapplication http://NewWebApp.SP2013.com > C:\Issues.txt
    My worry is that the SP2010 Web Application is Classic-based and I cannot change the entire Web Application to Claims-based as it hosts other running site collections !
    Equally, My other worry is that the SP2013 Web Application is Claims-based and I cannot change the entire Web Application to Classic-based as it hosts other running site collections !
    First-Question=> I cannot run Convert-SPWebApplication as I don't want to impact the entire source nor destination web applications - How to resolve this?
    5) Mount-SPContentDatabase "Old_Content_DB" -DatabaseServer "DBServer" -WebApplication http://NewWebApp.SP2013.com
    Second-Question=> As I mentioned above that my requirement is to migrate this old SP2010 site collaction to a totally new URL in SP 2013. My concern is that after completing step-5, the site
    collection will overwrite the root new web application and it gets placed on: (http://NewWebApp.SP2013.com) !  I want it to be: (http://NewWebApp.SP2013.com/projects/NewSiteCollection) ? How to do this trick?
    Third-Question=> Will all the SPD Workflows & the OOTB Workflows work correctly after the entire site collection has been moved from SP2010 to SP2013? I am asking this because I seen this:
    (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/chandru/archive/2013/04/14/upgrading-spd-2010-workflows-to-spd-2013-workflows.aspx), and I got scared. What do you think ?
    Could you please help me out in my three questions ?

    Following are the steps:
    Take the backup of the content database in SP 2010.
    Create a classic based web application in SP 2013 using PowerShell.
    New-SPWebApplication -Name "TestApplication" -ApplicationPool "TestApplicationAppPool" -AuthenticationMethod "NTLM" -ApplicationPoolAc
    Create a content database in the web application created above.
    Mount the database 
    Mount-SPContentDatabase WSS_Content_100 -DatabaseServer SQL2012Demo -WebApplication http://sp2013demo:100
    Now convert the web application to use claims authentication:
    Convert-SPWebApplication -Identity "http://sp2013demo:100" -To Claims –RetainPermissions -Force
    Finally, migrate the users to use claims identity:
    $w = Get-SPWebApplication "http://sp2013demo:100"
    $w.MigrateUsers($True)

    Hi Deepak,
    Is this site collection url (e.g. FQDN url, or host named site collection url) different from other site collection?
    If yes, please add the host named site collection in content source.
    If not, and this site collection url are the same type/format with other site collection, please "reset index" if possible, and start a full crawl, let us know your resutls.
    If issue still persists, please perform a query in search box, see if there is any related useful information from ULS log.

    Could someone please help me put this into a loop which would cycle through all of the personal sites in that web application and then set spadmin as secondary administrator for all.
    Id like to learn more about Powershell but not really sure where to look, what courses to do.. if anyone knows of any please also let me know.

  • 2013 SP Site Collection and Farm Admin permissions and cannot access site

    I am Farm Admin and Site Collection admin on my 2013 SP server and CAN access Central Admin, but CANNOT open the site without being promted for user name and password.  When I enter the user name and password they are not accepted. 
    This is on my production server.  I have NO PROBLEMs with the staging server.  The 2 are set up exactly the same.
    Any suggestions? 

    Discussion
    Farm Administrators are not automatically able to access site collections.  They can however add themselves to the site collection administrators group.  Additional detail:
    Permissions for site collection administrators - scroll down to the
    SharePoint farm administrators section (midway down) and look for the
    Note.
    Resolution
    Add your farm administrators account to the site collection administrators group. You can do this two ways:
    Go: Central administration > Application Management > Site Collections > Change site collection administrators
    Go: [your site collection] > Site Settings > Users and Permissions > Site collection administrators.

  • Using Rename() method to change the Url of path based site collection

    Hello All,
    Is it correct to use
    SPSite.Rename() method for changing the url of path based site collection(except the root)?
    For example:
    Old Site Url: http://portal.contoso.net/sites/HR
    New Site Url: http://portal.contoso.net/sites/HROLD
    It is working in SharePoint 2013 test environment, but I will be happy to receive some feedback from you about this.

    Hi Lvan,
    Yes, the server object model SPSite.Rename()  method works on an SPSite object to change the URL of a site collection which is host named or path based.

  • Home page URL for a new site collection

    Sorry for the kind of stupid question. I created a new site collection with Site Management menus. The home page has the URL like http://devtfs12/sites/corporate/_layouts/15/start.aspx#/ I expected that it should look like http://sharepoint.firm.lan/sites/corporate/SitePages/Home.aspx
    e.g without "_layouts/15/start.aspx#" is there a  way to change it? Is it possible to set up some sort of redirection so that  http://sharepoint.firm.lan redirects to http://devtfs12/sites/corporate/_layouts/15/start.aspx#/ Thanks!

    Hi,
    You are noticing the URL with _layouts/15/start.aspx because the new feature Minimal Download Strategy is activated on your site. 
    To know more on how it works you can refer the below links
    http://www.wictorwilen.se/sharepoint-2013---introduction-to-the-minimal-download-strategy-mds
    http://www.hezser.de/blog/archive/2012/08/18/what-is-the-_layouts15start-aspx-in-sharepoint-2013.aspx
    If you don't want _layouts/15/start.aspx to be a part of your URL you need to deactivate Minimal Download Strategy feature available under Site Actions -> Manager Site Features
    Note :Minimal Download Strategy is a new framework which is been written to increase the performance of the SharePoint site.
    Also, with SharePoint 2013, you can have Managed Metadata Navigation option. For more information ,

  • Alternate CSS URL - Error when mapping to another site collection

    I have created a .css file which I have attached on the root Site Collection (https://intranet.domain.com.au) using Site Settings> Master Page> Alternate CSS URL> Specify a CSS... and I have attached
    my file.  So, that all works fine.
    I have then tried to attach this CSS file on another site collection - say
    https://intranet.domain.com.au/sites/Site - but when I browse to this site, I get IE saying
    "Only Secure Content is Displayed".
    I did find a TechNet article saying to change browser settings in Security> Trusted Sites> Custom Level> Display Mixed Content> Enable - but this didn't seem to make any difference.
    I would prefer to map just the one CSS file so that when any changes are made, it replicates to this site collection.
    Any pointers?

    Hi,
    If you would like to apply one CSS file to multiple sites, here are two methods you could use:
    1.      
    Place the css file in layout folder, and apply it in master page
    http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/81372/alternate-css-url-point-to-layouts-15-folder
