Configure site auditing in sharepoint online using powershell or Client object model

Is the any way to configure site collection audit settings in sharepoint online programmatically or using powershell.

Hi Bhism,
The solution given in the article is for sharepoint 2010, i want to enable site auditing in Sharepoint 2013.
When i tried using that for sharepoint 2013 making he neccessary changes required for sharepoint 2013 i got an error :
Unable to find type [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAuditMaskType]: make sure that the
assembly containing this type is loaded.
I think the assembly is for SP2010, is there anything like that for SP2013
Thanks in Advance.

Powershell and Client Object Model - no error thrown if user is added more than once to same site or group

Hello All -
I am trying to add a user to a SharePoint site using PowerShell like below:-
New-SPUser -UserAlias MyDomain\jan20a -Web http://SPServer/sites/MySite
If I execute the above more than once, SharePoint does not throw that user already exists or something. This is not the same behavior in AD/Exchange PowerShell cmdlets.
Also, even the client object model behaves the same way.
Another interesting thing I noticed, I tried to remove a user from group in which the user was not part of it at all and still no error..!!
Looks like SharePoint does not care of invalid input and just ignores it.
Can anyone please confirm this and also the reason behind it ?

It's not really invalid input, since the user exists and that is how SharePoint behaves (will behave same way in browser). Try to input a user that and misspell the name, e.g. say you didn't have a MyDomain\Jan21a, then try to use same script above,
only with invalid data. It will bark at you. Or try using a web that it cannot find, one that does not exist. You'll get what I like to call, the red badge of courage if you enter invalid data.
you can test that sharepoint will let you enter a user twice in the browser, and nothing bad comes from it. Powershell is just unable to tell that the user was not in the site, when you removed it the second time.
Hope that confirms it, if it does please mark this reply accordingly. thanks

Dearbhla Bradley

The exception is pretty clear. for some reason the script is not able to open the folder TestFolder1 on the local hard drive.
I noticed in the script you have specified the $Folder variable to be "C:\Users\user\Documents\SharepointTestFolder" while the exception is for "C:\FilePath\TestFolder\TestFolder1"
Will you please help me understand this difference?
Also, sorry I'm not familiar with the "recurse" calling method. I'm suspecting you're telling it to call the ImportFiles() function again, though if this is the case it looks to me that it's reusing the same $Folder variable that was defined at the start,
rather than using the folder object you have just identified.

How can I get a list of OOB Site from a SharePoint WebApplication using Powershell Script

Hi,
Could anybody help on this?
Thanks,

You can include the WebTemplate parameter in the select, from that you will get the template ID for all sites.
I am sure you know the custom template IDs then just filter / use if else to get the desired results.

CAML Query to get specific item in folder based on dropdown value using Javascript client object model

Hi,
I am using the Javascript Client object model.
I have a custom list and a custom document library.
Custom list contains 2 columns - dlName , dlValue
The document library contains 2 folders - "folder1" , "folder2" and contains some images.
The image name starts with the "dlValue" available in the custom list
I am using a visual webpart and using javascript client object model.
I am trying to achieve the below functionality:
1) Load a dropdown with the custom list.
2) set the image based on the value in dropdown.
I have achieved the first option, I have set the dropdown, but not sure how to query the folder and set the image.
Below is the code i have used so far:
//In Visual webpart
<select id="ddlTest" >
</select>
<br/>
<div id="PreviewLayer">
<img id="imgPlaceHolder" runat="server" alt="Image" title="imgPlaceHolder" src=" " />
</div>
// In Javascript file
function RenderHtmlOnSuccess() {
var ddlTest = this.document.getElementById("ddlTest");
ddlTest.options.length = 0;
var enumerator = this.customListItems.getEnumerator();
while (enumerator.moveNext()) {
var currentItem = enumerator.get_current();
var dropdownValue = currentItem.get_item("dlValue");
ddlTest.options[ddlTest.options.length] = new Option(currentItem.get_item("dlName"), dropdownValue);
setImage(dropdownValue); // Not sure how to query the folder and set the image based on value.
// Also if dropdown value is changed, corresponding image should be shown
How to query the folder and based on dropdown value, show the image? Also, how to handle the dropdown value change?
Thanks

Get current item id using JavaScript Client Object Model

I have a client query that query SharePoint list Items. Lets say it is a document library. I need to get the list item id of each.
I can query the Title of the document using this syntax.
ctx.CurrentItem['Title']
But when I try
ctx.CurrentItem['ID']
for list item ID, it does not give a value. How can I solve this?

Hi Malin,
If you're using the JavaScript Client Object Model, try using the SPListItem.get_item('key') method as in the example below:
<script>
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(function(){
var arrIds = [];
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext();
var camlQuery = new SP.CamlQuery();
camlQuery.set_viewXml('<View><Query></Query></View>');
var items = clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle("Your List Title Here").getItems(camlQuery);
clientContext.load(items);
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this,function(){
var itemEnumerator = items.getEnumerator();
while(itemEnumerator.moveNext()){
var itemId = itemEnumerator.get_current().get_item('ID');
arrIds.push(itemId);
alert(arrIds);
}), Function.createDelegate(this, function(){
alert("something went wrong");
},"SP.js");
</script>

Assign Group permission to list item using client object model

Hi,
I am trying to add the list item and assign the permission to the list item by using SP 2010 client object model. The problem which i am facing that when i assign the group as a permission to the item, by automatically the limited access permission
is added to the group. Please find the steps which i have followed,
Step-1: Break role inheritance.
foreach (var item in _listItemCollection)
if (item["FileLeafRef"].ToString().ToLower() == "xxx")
item.BreakRoleInheritance(true, false);
_clientContext.Load(item.RoleAssignments);
_folderItem = item;
_clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
Step 2: Remove all permissions of the list item.
foreach (var assignment in _folderItem.RoleAssignments)
assignment.RoleDefinitionBindings.RemoveAll();
assignment.Update();
_clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
Step 3:
Add Group as a permission to the list item.
var role = _web.RoleDefinitions.GetByType(RoleType.Contributor);
var collRdb = new RoleDefinitionBindingCollection(_clientContext) { role };
Principal principal = _grp;
_folderItem.RoleAssignments.Add(principal, collRdb);
_folderItem.Update();
_clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
After adding the group successfully to the list item, i checked the group permission and it contains the value as "Contribute,Limited Access" to the site level and "Contribute" to the list item. Please guide me how to avoid to create Contribute,Limited
Access role.
Balaji

Hi Dmitry,
When I create the group and assign contribute permission, the group has the permission at the site level(to see the permission, click group and click view Group Permission). I have added the list item and break the role inheritance permission
and given the unique permission by providing group as a permission to the list item. After providing the permission, the group permission at the site level changed to "Contribute, Limited Access". I dont know how contribute permission changed to contribute,
limited access.
I found the workaround to fix this issue. I created the group and create the folder in the shared document library by using client object model. Due to facing some issue by providing the permission using client object model, i have created the event receiver
to the document library and using server object model, i can able to assign the approprate group permission.

Using microsoft.sharepoint.client.search.analytics to report the monthly hit count of site collections on SharePoint Online

Is it possible to use microsoft.sharepoint.client.search.analytics to report the monthly hit count of site collections on SharePoint Online.
GetHitCountForDay()

If yes, how can this be called and executed successfully from a Console application using the Client Object Model.

Building Site Collections in SharePoint Online

Hello all,
Please forgive me for this very basic question, but I was not able to find the info online.
Background info: I have a great deal of experience with SharePoint administration on-prem but not much experience with SharePoint Online. My current organization has O365 and wants to build a collaboration environment and an Intranet. I understand the information
architecture practices that would have been common for this for an on-prem environment, and I understand that those have changed with 2013 and SharePoint Online due to the new practice of organizing everything under one web app.
Between reading some articles and using my experience with on-prem, I am trying to design an organized information architecture that will facilitate both environments and the permissions structures they require. My tentative plan was to build one site collection
for the Intranet under https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/sites (under which subsites would be built for various Intranet divisions), and then a number of individual site collections for the collaboration environment under https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/teams
(/hr, /finance, etc., so that content owners and users could work in their own site collection without affecting a site collection belonging to someone else).
This is the article that initially caused me to believe that this is possible/a good idea: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/richard_dizeregas_blog/archive/2014/09/01/sharepoint-online-information-architecture-considerations.aspx.
"For [managed paths] you get the root, /search (explicit managed path), /sites (wildcard managed path), and /teams (wildcard managed path)."
However this article leads me to believe that I will not be allowed to create any site collections at all, only subsites: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Plan-sites-and-manage-users-8e568d8d-3d65-42c4-99fa-f7285c9db842.
"You cannot create additional site collections in SharePoint Online for Office 365 for Small Business."
I understand the answer to this may depend on what version of O365 we have, and I am working to find that out.
My understanding is that I cannot be made a SharePoint Online administrator without being a global O365 administrator: http://blogs.technet.com/b/lystavlen/archive/2012/06/14/understanding-the-administrator-role-in-sharepoint-online.aspx.
"You cannot separate the roles of Office 365 global administrator and SharePoint Online Administrator."
Thus, I don't currently have the level of access I need to browse around the administration area and find the answers to my questions that way. When the time comes, I will likely be given temporary access or will be working with an O365 global administrator
to build.
Main question: Will I be allowed to build site collections under managed paths?
Larger question: How are others managing the information architecture for an Intranet and a Collaboration environment in SharePoint Online, especially if the answer to the prior question is no?
Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer.

Backup - Restore process of a Site Collection in SharePoint Online

Hi, I have a couple of questions.
1) What do I have to do to get a backup-restore of a site collection in SharePoint Online?
2) Can I myself perform a backup-restore or just backup a site collection without using any 3rd party tool?
Any inputs on these will be helpful. Thanks in advance!

Hi,
what you can instead of backup and restore site is to save it as template, check this thread

Is there any REST API to get all the Site and site Collections from Sharepoint Online

Hi,
I have one SharePoint Online tenant. We are using REST API to integrate SharePoint to our internal System.
For my use case I need to get all the SharePoint sites ans Sitecollections. From each SiteCollection I need all the subsites under this.
I have used below REST Query
http://<Base site url>/_api/web
This doesn't give me all the Site collections
Could any one please give me some way to get all the Site collections and sites from my sharepoint tenant through REST API.
Thanks,

Hi Abhiram,
There seems no such endpoint in SharePoint REST API can retrieve a list of site collections in a SharePoint Online tenant:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj860569.aspx#Reference
If Client Object Model can be an option for you, you can use Tenant object to achieve what you want:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/24050.perform-basic-admin-operations-using-csom-in-sharepoint-online.aspx#Scenario_3_Fetch_All_Site_Collections
Anyway, I would suggest you submit a feedback to the Office Developer Platform if there any expectation about the future version of REST API of Office 365 SharePoint
Online:
http://officespdev.uservoice.com/
It
is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products. What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft
Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.

Authoring and Publishing site collection in SharePoint Online

Hi ,
Can we have multiple authoring and publishing site collection in SharePoint Online?
Thanks, Kaviya (Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you)

Yes you can use SharePoint 2013 cross-site publishing feature in SharePoint Online to support 1:1 and 1:n set up of authoring : publishing site-collections in SharePoint Online. The catch is that it all needs to be within same tenant.
