Error importing SharePoint site collection - "there is an error during importing the Roles tag"

Hi, we are having trouble restoring a SharePoint 2010 site collection using our DPM 2012 installation. The recovery process goes fine (restore of the database, attach to the sql server, export into WFE's filesystem) and the last phase, the SharePoint import,
seems to end with an exception. We see this in the WssCmdletsWrapperCurr.errlog file:
Caught Exception while trying to import Url .....
Exception message =
There is an error during importing the Roles tag
Exception Stack =
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment.ReadAttribute.String(....
It looks like it is a SharePoint import issue, but I'm not sure. We have tried to restore the site into an empty one, and the exception appears again, although it *seems* that the content has been recovered. We have imported using the security info
on the recovery point.
I've searched for that error message in the Net but I've been unable to find anything appropriate.
Do you have any hints?
Thanks.

do you have any other web app in the farm, try to create a site collection over there and try.
I would create new content DB, try to provison site in it and make sure root site collection created.
I would also check the IIS logs as well.

If you're not a developer then you really should not have upgraded.
I'm unsure how you can fix this as you have already done a back-up on iOS 7 and apple don't support firmware downgrades.

I designed a site in Adobe Muse but forgot to add the H1 tags after I made it live.

I designed a site in Adobe Muse but forgot to add the H1 tags after I first made it live. Will this effect my google analytics ? if so how can I make sure that the H1 tags are picked up early in the html by the google search spiders instead of way down the html? I opened the html and can see from the source code that the H1 tags are on the 130 line of code instead of nearer the top..is this a problem for being seen on google analytics? the site is www.mcgeehangolf.com

Thanks Michael, sorry for the delay! Again I have made another site recently www.bodicotevillagehall.co.uk IF you do a search in google for Bodicote village hall it doesn't show up until page 2 or if you search bodicote village hall hire it is 8th on the first page. Again I have added keywords and google analytics!

SharePoint 2013 site collection 'upgrade completed with errors'

Hi All,
I am in process to upgrade SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013 with all steps as mentioned in TechNet.
I was able to get all the SP2010 UI in SP2013 environment. However, when I navigated to top level site and clicked on “Site
Collection health checks”. In SP2010 environment I never used (as Farm Admin) any Video content type. It belongs
to out-of-the-box "digital asset content types" and cannot be deleted.
Therefore I changed the name of Video to our department name like "Video - Company" and ran the site collection health check again. This time there was no conflict for content types.
After ran the site collection upgrade I got following error.

Hi All and Inderjeet,
Thanks for your reply and pointers.
I did follow the steps as mentioned in the links above. I used some third party solutions but not for any Video solution. I was able to successfully migrated the SP2010 (WSS_Content) to SP2013 (WSS_Content) environment a few weeks back with exactly same
third party solutions and no site collection error:
I renamed the default and out-of-the box video site content type as shown:
I ran the "Site Collection Health Check" and did not receive any error as in my second screenshot.
But, after upgrade the Site Collection Upgrade and got the same errors.
I don't know if there is any SharePoint Server 2013 patch gave this error as I keep run the Windows Server 2012 (not running R2) and SharePoint Server 2013 regularly.
Can suggest how to resolve this error?
Many Thanks!!

User Profiles are the wrong style after importing/migrating site collections from other SharePoint versions

I manage a couple of different version of SharePoint, which we are in the process of migrating to SharePoint 2013. I have a problem which I am not sure how to resolve. We are using MetaLogix to migrate site and site collection data from an older SharePoint
2007/WSS3.0 server environment into our new SharePoint 2013 environment and we are having a problem with user profiles that get created.
I have SharePoint 2013 set up for "SharePoint Profile Synchronization" and some of our user's profiles are being created in an older format that shows the user's claims account information, rather than the more fancy profile type that allows us
to include pictures and click on "follow this person" links.
If we manually delete the profile, it will be recreated properly however, as we are migrating many sites and collections over, it is near impossible to do this and keep track of each user so that their profiles can be deleted and recreated.
Is there some way to change this behavior so that SharePoint will only create the newer style of user profile?

These 'profiles' are you looking at them in the User Profile Service Application itself or are you looking at site collections? There is a huge difference between the two but people often miss it.
In most cases you'll have some partial information on the Site Collections but when you click through to their actual profile (not just their User Information List entry) you'll see the prettier version. That information is normally internally synchronised
by a timer job but that may not have run yet and/or the fact that your users haven't actually used the site may be causing it not to update them (it's an efficiency matter).
Finally: Drop your sales guy at Metalogix an email, they will bounce it to one of their techies and they'll have seen it a million times.

Definition of Status property of a SharePoint Site Collection

Hi community,
when getting a site collection via a PowerShell command (Get-SPOSite / Get-SPSite), it returns a property called "Status" among others, which in my case is always "Active". But for what is it good for? I didn't find any definition of this
property, neither via search nor via MSDN.
What values could this property have and how does a different status than "Active" influence the behavior of this site collection (is it still accessible, ...)?
Many thanks in advance and best regards
Christian

Hi Steven,
thank you for this quick reply. Sorry for providing only a few information on that.
I'm currently working with SharePoint 2013 Online (Office 365). The PowerShell cmdlet Get-SPOSite return a few properties of a site collection, e.g. Status, LockState, Url, Title, etc.
$allSiteInformation = Get-SPOSite -Limit all -Detailed | Select Url, Title, Status, Template, LockState, Owner, LastContentModifiedDate, WebsCount, StorageQuota, StorageUsageCurrent, ResourceQuota, ResourceUsageCurrent, ResourceUsageAverage
I know the purport of LockState, but I can't imagine what additional information will be the "Status" property returned by this script, in my case it alway states "Active". I assume that there is also a value "Inactive", but I don't know how respectively
for what reason a site collection will transition into that status.
I placed this common question because I thought that this property exists also in SharePoint 2013 On-Premise, but I don't know.
I hope now it is a little bit clearer. Thanks and best regards
Christian

Is it possible to restrict access to individual SharePoint Online sites (or site collections) to users only connecting when on the corporate network?

Hi,
We have an Office 365 environment which is linked to our on premise ADFS environment. We have started to make some deployments of sites to our SharePoint Online environment. For the majority of sites this is great and the ability to access the sites
from anywhere is a real bonus. However, there are some sites and data that I would be much more comfortable in migrating to SharePoint Online if there were a way to make them only accessible via users/computers connected to the corporate network.
I have seen articles in how you can configure ADFS to allow all connections to the Office 365 tenant only from the network or not but what I am after is something which can be configured on a site by site basis (i.e. not the whole Office 365 environment
or SharePoint Online environment) to only allow access when connecting from the corporate network.
Any advice/help would be much appreciated?
Many thanks
Paul

How to apply metadata to sharepoint site collection

Hello,
We have almost 1000 teamsite and we are working to arrange those according to department and site admins. So requirement is Let say if the HR department has 10 team sites, those 10 team site's department should be marked as "HR". Now how can we
achieve this? I know we can create the term set in the Managed Metadata service application with all the departments but then how we can relate those terms to site collections? Also it should come up in the search as well. So we I do I search for department
HR, I should get all 10 sites. Please share your thoughts
Thanks in advance.

Hi!
Look at the article - it seems will be an ideal solution for your task. I hope it will work or can be easily patched for SharePoint 2013:

I connected a digital camera memory chip with approximately 100 photos on it. The photos showed up in iPhoto. I believe I deleted the photos from the memory chip before importing them. Is there any way I can get the photos back?

Looks like just the ticket for saving mistakes.

Reader error message opening PDfs that there was an error and file damaged

On my Mac using Mac Mail I get occasional Reader messages when opening a PDF attachment that there was an error and the file was damaged. But can open on another Mac and on ipad. Cant figure out what in the world is wrong. Thanks for any suggestions. (Did try removing and reinstalling the program) The version of reader is 11.0.03.

Thank you Catherine & MrToaster - Yes - I've just updated to my new credit card. All the details were correct, inc authorisation code but App Store kept prompting me to update iMovie then, not allowing me to (There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (20)).
Your advice worked - I logged out and in again.
The problem is that I'll definitely have forgotten your tip when my card next expires!
