Document ID moving across the site collection

Thanks for reading, let me explain my scenario before my question
1. we have huge site collection with full of documents
2. want to enable document id feature to track of documents
3. we want to run the process to archive docs which are older than 6 months into different site collection.
4. after 2 years, we will have 4 archived site collections, documents are spread across the various site collection
Does document id move across the site collections, still users can get old document using initially assigned document id after archive into different site collection?
I read some documentation on document iD that it is targeted for Site Collection level.
S.Venkata Appaji

Hi Appaji,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to preserve the Document ID when moving the documents across site collections.
Per my knowledge, the document id will be preserved when the document has been moved from one Site Collection to another Site Collection.
During move operations, SharePoint Server 2010 keeps the document ID. During copy operations SharePoint Server 2010 assigns a new document ID. You can control this by setting a Boolean operator on the PersistID column.

SP2010 I need to set the include in search option switch on all document libraries to off across all site collections on the whole farm?
Has anybody seen If this can be done programmatically any help would be gratefully welcomed thanks.

i am not sure about the script, why not create crawl rule which will exclude the allitems.aspx from showing in the search results.
Go to search service application, crawling section, click crawl rules to create a crawl rule to excludehttp://*allitems.aspx page.

Document ID - Property field shows on item view property page after deactivating the Document ID Service features at Site Collection level

Hi,
When a site collection was created, I enabled the Document ID feature at site collection level. Then some item was created in a document library as well as list libarary
Now it was decided that we dont want the Document ID feature so I disable the feature from Collection feature list
Still when a user view the property of a document it shows the Document ID property with the ID (when click on the ID it shows the message that
This Site Collection is not configured to use Document IDs.
Troubleshoot
issues with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation.
Correlation ID: 9640ac9f-4b9c-4ae8-9f0b-402ed7e3b3c5) Is there anything that I should do so that DOcument ID property does not show on the document property page... I tried
to looked at the content type to see if I can remove the document ID but I could not find the Document ID as a property that can be removed from the type

Hi,
I would just remove the column from the view. You can make views for each list, it you look under the list by Clicking List while the list is open, you should see a link in the ribbon which say "Modify view" click this link.
This link will open the edit view page you can then uncheck the box for the column which will remove it form that view.
According to this
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee559302.aspx
Deactivating the feature removes links to the Site Collection Settings page, makes the page that is used to look up document IDs no longer available, turns off the document ID service, and stops assigning document IDs. The server does not remove the columns
that it adds at the site level when the feature is first activated so that, even after deactivation, the existing document IDs are preserved. After the feature is deactivated, users who try to use a static URL to look up an item by its document ID see an error
message indicating that "This Site Collection is not configured to use document IDs."
The Document id service will add new columns to the document content type and the document set content type.
It also adds an event receiver which should be deactivated when you deactivate the doc id service.
Theoretically. You should be able to go in and remove the columns from the document type, and then force an update.

Crawl Rule for Crawling Specific Page across all the site collection under one content source

I have a MOSS 2007 web Application added to SharePoint 2010 Search Service Application Content Source, which is having 50+ Site Collections which follows same template. Every Site collection having one CustomPages Library and CustomPage.aspx.
If search Service would like to crawl only CustomPage.aspx from all the site collection under the web application, what would be the Path or Regular expression while creating the Crawl Rule.
i have given the path as http://webapplication/sites/*/CustomPages/CustomPage.aspx, but this is not working. Can anyone help me out with correct path or regular expression in this case.
Thanks..

To crawl that page you'd also need to crawl the pages beneath it, otherwise SharePoint will never get to the page to check if it matches a rule. I assume you have some other rules that are blocking the rest of the content of the site?
Try adding another rule that allows http://webapplication/sites/* then have your include rule beneath that and another exclude rule for
http://webapplication/sites/*/* beneath that. That should eliminate nearly all the other content and provide you with your custompage.aspx results.

Best Way to Sync Lists Across Multiple Site Collections?

A quick query I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with...
Within our university intranet I am assigning each department a team site within its own Site Collection. So that departments can associate Document Library files with a set list of academic courses, I created a custom dropdown field and deployed it as a Feature. While this worked within SharePoint, when you attempted to set the document properties within the Microsoft Word environment the custom fields were rendered as empty text boxes (meaning that staff are no longer restricted in when information they can enter).
To get around this I'm considering going back-to-basics and creating a Custom List, populating it with the titles of our academic courses, and then assigning it to a Document Library via a Lookup Field. I know that Microsoft Word will then correctly display the metadata dropdown.
As I am using multiple Site Collections, I'm unsure of the "best" way to proceed.
I've already written a Console Application which can create a Custom List within a targetted site and populate it with the contents of an XML file - but I would need to run this every time I created a new Site Collection and what would I do when I wanted to update the contents of all the lists?
Other than modifying my Console Application to loop through all instances of the Custom List within Site Collections and sync it to the contents of the XML file, is there another (better) option that I am over-looking?
Its such a shame I can't create cross-collection Lookup Fields within all of the Site Collections that point to a single top-level list.
Many thanks.

My instinctive questions drifts towards why you have different site collections. If all the sites were sub sites within the same site collection, a global field would solve the issue quite nicely.
If you have legitimate reasons for keeping the sites seperated into separate site collections, I would look at using an Event Handler to trigger updates to reference values in each site collection, be they global fields or lists. Then if you wish to update the values, you only need to update the trigger list to propagate the updates across your site sollections to all your sites in question.
I trust that answers your question...
Thanks

Custom template available across multiple site collections

I have created a custom site template which I need to be available across multiple site collections. Is there a global area where I can put the .wsp file so that I can use it within any site collection.
I also have a custom document library which I need to be available from with the site made from the custom site template mentioned above - Is there a global area where I can put the .stp file so that I can use it within any site within any site collection.
thanks

This will really depend how the template has been packaged. If it's a content type, than editing this and making sure that the "update content type" radio is selected will do the trick. Can you ask someone who's made one to show you how they generate
the template. If it's within the New --> XXX Document, than you're in luck
If they're just deployed as normal files within a library, you'll have a much harder time.

How to change PowerPoint Template across multiple site collections

I am failry new to SharePoint, and my organization has asked me to research how to change a PowerPoint template that is stored on multiple site collections. There are current PowerPoints based on the template and they wanted to be sure those wouldn't be
affected, as well. They want a "quick and easy" way to update the template that the divisions in the company use without manually going into each site collection. A co-worker said she hopes to "replace the current...template at the site
collection and it will modify the available content type when selecting new document."
Any help on how to handle this would be appreciated.

Fastest way to get data from Multiple lists across multiple site collections

HI
I need to get data from multiple lists which spread across 20 site collections and need to show it as list view.
I have searched on internet about this and got some info like options would be to use search core APIs or BCS . I can't use search because I want real time data. Not sure of any other ways.
if anybody can provide ideas it would be help.

Might LINQ be an option for you? Using
LINQPad and the
SharePoint Connector, you should be able to write a query that'll retrieve this data, from which you can tabulate it. I'm not sure how you'd be able to automate this any further so that it's then imported in as list.
For something more specific, I used a third party tool called the
Lightning Tools Lightning Conductor, which is essence a powerful content roll-up tool. In one of my solutions, I created a calculated column that gave an order / ranking on each item, so that when lists were combined, they'd still have some form of
order. The web part is also fairly customisable and has always proven a useful tool.
Hope that helps.

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

Moving host header site collections to a different URL

Background:
We have a SharePoint 2010 farm with a single web app. Within this web app, we have over 40 site collections. Unfortunately when they were created, they were all put under their own explicit managed path. So now we have over 40 managed paths
and the recommended number of managed paths is 20. We are planning to create wildcard managed paths and move site collections from
https://servername/sitename to
https://servername/U/sitename to reduce the number of managed paths.
The implications of this are clear for site collections that are not host header site collections. Site collection admins will have to adjust any URLs that refer to items in the site collection. It is less clear for host header site collections.
From the user's point of view, the host header URL itself will not change.
1. Will internal links in the host header site collections need to be adjusted like in regular site collections?
2. Will the e-mail address of e-mail enabled lists and libraries change?
I would be grateful if anybody has an answer to this.
Sheila

If you moved http://sitename.webapplication.domain.com (ie. a host named site collection) to http://webapplication.domain.com/managedPath/sitename then it would obviously have a different URL.
That is not what you were describing in your first post, the terminiology is a little specific and I think you're getting it a bit wrong. A web application (often) has a host header, that will not change moving a site from an explicit path to a wilcard path.
A host named site collection is very different and more complicated
If you are planing on converting
http://webapplication.domain.com/site1
http://webapplication.domain.com/site2
http://webapplication.domain.com/site3
to
http://webapplication.domain.com/sites/site1
http://webapplication.domain.com/sites/site2
http://webapplication.domain.com/sites/site3
Then you are not using Host Named (or host header) Site Collections, those are bog standard managed path site collection addresses.
Now to answer your question: for users to access the sites after the move they must use the /sites/siteX version, if they use an old link then it will not work.
There is a trick in SharePoint that will keep links that exist within the site collection consistent so that some URLs will be maintained. This is called a relative URL and means that URLs that are within the same Site Collection will automatically work
with the new URLs.

Search does not work in one of the site collections

The Search in one of the site collections in my extranet sites is not working. When I search it the does return any results, it's not finding anything. I went to search just the documents library it does not work as well. I didn't find any errors in the

Any help?

As the error says. The Publishing Infrastructure feature must be activated at the Site Collection level where you are creating a new site PRIOR to turning on the Publishing feature. So if you are trying to use this site definition to create a
new Site Collection then its not going to work. If you are trying to create a sub site then make sure that Publishing Infrastructure is enabled in the site collection before trying to create a sub site with this site definition.
Internally Microsoft does this for the Publishing Portals using custom code. Here's an article that discusses how to do it in SharePoint 2010.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg615465(v=office.14).aspx
Compare what's in the article to one of the Publishing templates available out of the box in 2013 and you should be able to find the assembly that is used to load the Publishing features.

Recycle bin to show all deleted items on the site collection for specific user group

hi there, is there any way where a certain sharepoint group (i.e. site collection members) to view and restore deleted items on theentire collection, without giving them site collection rights orgive them more rights than necessary? we wanted to create
aSP group that has the permission to restore deleted items and give them to selected users so that our users won't have to contact us when they want to restore a deleted item

I don't believe you can. If an item get's deleted it should go to the first recycle bin @ /_layouts/15/RecycleBin.aspx
The Recycle Bin gives a site collection administrator
greater control when users delete files, versions of files, list items, libraries, lists, and folders from a SharePoint site by providing a second stage safety net before an item is permanently deleted from a site. When a user deletes an item from the Recycle
Bin, the item is sent to a second stage Recycle Bin (also known as the Site Collection Recycle Bin) that the site collection administrator manages. This article focuses on how a site collection administrator can manage the Recycle Bin for a site collection.

How can i add a special user to the "site collection administrators" of the personal site on sharepoint online when the personal site is creating ?

when a new personal site is created on the sharepoint online 2013， then the administrator of this personal site will be himself. we can add another person to the "site collection administrators", then this person have full control of this personal
site.
but my request is : add this personal to the personal site when the personal site is creating, but not after the personal site has created ?
Is anybody know how to do that?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to add a special user to the "site collection administrators" of the personal site on sharepoint online when the personal site is creating.
Per my knowledge,
there is no out of the box way to accomplish this with SharePoint.
This is a forum which is supported for SharePoint On-Premise.
