How to access our company's sharepoint site with short name?

Currently, mycompany.sharepoint.com is accessible.
We would like to set up with a simple name like sp1, point, etc...
what needs to do on DNS server or Share point to make this happen?
Any input appreciated. 
JP

Hi, 
In DNS create a short name from which you want access sharepoint.
Assign it the same IP address as of SharePoint Machine.
Than in SharePoint central Administration Change the Alternate access mapping for your web application.
for details see the below links.

  • Error while Authenticating sharepoint site with Azure AD users using Azure Access Control Namespace

    I want 100,000 external users to have access to my SharePoint online Site collection.
    I was thinking of going the Azure AD route, where external users will have there ID's created in Azure AD cloud.
    Trying to figure how I can integrate Azure AD cloud with my SharePoint Online Site collection.
    Currently my site collection is tied to On-premise AD.
    Is there a way to integrate the SharePoint online to use both Azure AD and On-premise AD?
    Thanks

    Any Answer here?

  • HTTPS SharePoint site with HTTPS Provider hosted app - The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure

    We have SharePoint 2013 site configured with SSL and we have developed a provider hosted app which interacts with SharePoint list.

    We have already added the certificate used for the SharePoint site and the provider hosted app in the SharePoint central admin trusts.
    Any idea's how can I resolve this issue?

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to access provider host app using https.
    The reason for this is that SharePoint implements its own certificate validation policy to override .NET certificate validation.
    Fix is to setup a trust between SharePoint and the server requiring certificate validation.
    For more information, you can refer to:

  • Is there a way I can add be background image to my sharepoint site with look and feel?

    Whenever i add any background image with "look and feel" it stretches the image. I've tried modifying the CSS file (in body and tried .ms-backgroundImage setting "background-size:inherit !important;") to fix it, but it doesn't seem to
    have any effect. I there anyway i can add a background image to the master html or css code and get it to not stretch?
    Thanks
    James T.F

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to add background image to sharepoint site with look and feel.
    We can define the Image Url  in the Composed looks (Site Settings > Web Designer Galleries > Composed looks) to add background.
    However, the image will be stretched to fill the viewport at 100%.
    Though we can override the CSS attributes which would allow the image to repeat, but instead I recommend to go the no CSS route and switched the background to a much larger one that would fill the viewport nicely without looking pixelated.

  • User has appropriate permission, still not able to access one of the sharepoint site applications.

    Hi,
    I have tried all solutions available on internet regarding this problem but none seems to work.
    As per one solution I added the user in sharepoint site collection administrator group still no luck!
    As per another solution  I tried to run “User Profile Service Application Proxy – User Profile to SharePoint Full Synchronization”
    “User Profile Service Application Proxy – User Profile to SharePoint Quick Synchronization”
    but they dont run for some reason. Both these jobs are scheduled to run everyday but last time they ran was some date in 2011. When I click on Run Now nothing happens.
    I deleted all cache, forms password history everything.  Added the site in trusted sites and all. No luck!
    User also tried to access the site by logging onto another system but still same issue.
    This user recently joined alongwith a few more people. All of them are able to access the site except this particular user. So, a web part or unpublished page cant be the reason, right?
    This user is only able to access the home page which is say http://<siteurl:1234> application while the site which this user is not able to access is
    http://<siteurl:2345>.
    I even tried to give access through sharepoint designer but no luck! Please help!
    PS: This may not be relevant but still I'm sharing. Earlier I used to add users in manage user profiles - new profile. But now as soon as the user is added into active directory there profile is getting created automatically. This might be happening due to
    active directory and user profile sync but the question is how? Because I dont remember configuring this. And it was not configured earlier too.

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that only one user cannot access the site even though he has the right permission.
    I recommend to verify the things below:
    Check the permission of the user in the site to see if the permission is right.
    Is http://<siteurl:2345> a new site collection ? Can the user access other pages except the home page in
    http://<siteurl:1234>?
    Grant needed permission to the user in the web application to see if the issue still occurs.
    Delete the user and re-add the user in AD to see if the issue still occurs.
    Check the ULS log for detailed error message.
    Best regards.

  • Connecting To An Access DB On A SharePoint Site

    I am attempting to use an Access (2007) db (.accdb) file located on a SharePoint site and am encountering problems connecting to it.  The paths I have tried are:

  • Uploading Access split database to Sharepoint Site.

    Hi, I'm having trouble finding instructions on how exactly you would upload a split database to SharePoint. If I split my database locally i can't then move the back end.
    I want to upload my the back end of the Access database to "mysitesname".sharepoint.com I have full admin privileges but the only place I see to upload a file is the "shared documents" area of the site which I presume would only be useful
    for hosting the front end for users to download. Trying to split the database to the site by using it's URL "https://"mysitesname".sharepoint.com/SitePages/Home.aspx" nd variations results in access telling me the site could not be reached.
    I'm sure this is something simple to do and I'm just missing some critical piece of information.

    Thank you for the reply but I'm not using a web database or web app. I should have mentioned I solved the problem yesterday.
    A split database is simpler than I thought, mine is just a standard access database with linked tables. You share your file (front end) around and the back end is just a bunch of SharePoint lists if you are using SharePoint or an access file containing tables
    if using a file server.
    My problem was that I couldn't upload my back end to SharePoint. I ended up making my tables into SharePoint lists and uploading those to my personal SharePoint folder as the team site didn't allow me to upload them.

  • How to track any change at sharepoint site level

    Hi,
    I want to achieve is,
    create an event receiver or workflow for a SharePoint Site so that any change made @ site level or site collection level which in turn may include any change at any list,library, everything @ site/site collection level----a mail should get fired to a certain
    sharepoint group(Administrative).
    I found that  we can do this with "Change Log" but how?
    Is it a list or library or what else?
    How could i fire a mail when a new item gets added to it?

    As an aside, you're asking for SharePoint to send an email to your administrators every time for every change. Given the number of changes in a typical SharePoint farm, this approach can lead to your administrators being flooded with emails. Some mail transfer
    agents also have protections against this sort of activity and could drop mails to prevent your administrators from being spammed.
    You should consider this if you plan to use these mails for auditing purposes. Another approach would be to log these changes to a database to ensure you don't lose anything.
    SharePoint already has built-in auditing capabilities that you could leverage as well; most 3rd party SharePoint administrative suites include audit reporting.

  • Mail for Access Request to O365 SharePoint site not received if a mail-enabled Distribution Lists' email address is provided.

    I have the Access Request feature enabled in my O365 SharePoint site. This functionality is working fine for a single Site Owner's Email-ID and he is receiving the mail in his Outlook with an option to Approve/Deny the request. But when I specify the Email-ID
    of a Distribution List (which consists of all the site owners), the mail is not sent to their respective members although the corresponding request is listed under the Pending Requests in the Access Requests list in Site Settings. Why is this happening and
    if this not possible, kindly suggest a workaround.

    can you specify the DL name instead of the email?

  • How to Access a 128-bit encrypted site

    Hi all..

    i had used HttpsURLConnection and try to run its not resulting.

    Is the virtual win-5a8pp4v402g server in the same domain as the remote system you are trying to browse to it from?  If it is then all you need is a DNS entry or an entry in the Hosts file of the remote system that points that name to the IP address
    of the VM.  If its not then you will need an AAM that uses a Fully Qualified Domain Name as the address of the SharePoint site.  YOu will also need either a DNS entry or a Hosts file entry on the remote system that points that FQDN to the IP address
    of the VM.  Here's an article on AAMs in SharePoint.

  • How do we add an Adobe CC licensed contractor to our company CC team for a short-term project?

    We need to add a contractor who already has an Adobe CC license to our company CC team so they can sync and share files for the duration of the project.
    How can we accomplish this?

    Hi ContentInTexas,
    Files created by the Creative Cloud apps can be shared like any other file. For example, you can share files through email, FTP, and so on.
    In addition, Creative Cloud sharing features let you share files with people who aren't members of Creative Cloud by allowing them to view the files in a browser. Viewers can turn layers on and off, view relevant metadata, comment, and even download files for editing.
    Collaborative feature is something which is being worked upon and is expected to be available in the future release.

  • Copying SharePoint Page between SharePoint Sites with the MasterPage and Correct PageLayout

    Hi All,
    I have created a page in the following SharePoint Site Using a Custom SharePoint MasterPage and a Custom PageLayout.
    https://devrussellportal.prod.ds.russell.com/sites/emeasandbox/Data-Governance/Pages/DataGovernanceHome.aspx
    In this site I have a Page called 'DataGovernanceHome.aspx' in that site. I need to copy this page with the MasterPage and the PageLayout that I have used to build this Site Page to https://russellportal.prod.ds.russell.com/sites/datagovernance/ Site.
    I was able to copy the MasterPage with all styles and images without any errors and applied successfully to the new site. I exported the desired page from the old SharePoint Site and imported to the new SharePoint Site via SPD. But when I tried to open the
    page it gave me an error 'Sorry, something went wrong'. 
    I even edit the 
    <mso:PublishingPageLayout msdt:dt="string">https://russellportal.prod.ds.russell.com/sites/datagovernance/_catalogs/Russell SharePoint 3 Column.aspx, Russell SharePoint 3 Column </mso:PublishingPageLayout>
    tag by updating the new SharePoint Site URL also. But did not solve the matter. So what is I am missing in here? Could someone help me to solve this matter?
    Thanks and regards,
    Chiranthaka

    Hi,
    Having moved the Master Page, Page Layout and other supporting branding assets successfully is a great first step.
    So now you are attempting to move the content page. The content page itself is really a list item in the pages library. The aspects of a given content page are simply stored in site columns. When you copy the content page from one library to another using
    SPD, I do not believe everything will transfer.
    What you could try next is to open your source site in SPD. Navigate to the pages library and then detach your specific content page from its page layout (right click the content page to see this option). Now open this page in SPD to see all content.
    Do the same thing in your destination site. First create a new content page in your destination site, then open SPD. Detach this content page from its page layout and now copy and paste the contents from source to destination. Save and see if the destination
    content page loads. If it does, try reattaching the page layout on the destination site. As you noticed before, you may need to change a mso property to the new page layout location.
    Another hiccup could be the specific web parts you added to the content page, but I can't say for sure. Possibly a webpart is attempting to access data it does not have access to?
    All else fails, can you simply recreate the content page on the destination site from scratch, then copy content and add web parts in to effectively recreate the page by hand?

  • Can't open sharepoint site with sharepoint designer 2010

    Hi there,
    We've installed SP Foundation + SP Server 2010 and set up some sites.
    when we tried to open it with SP Designer 2010, it fails and gave us some errors.
    opening SPD through site actions :
    unable to open website. possible causes:
    1. the web server may not have sharepoint server installed
    2. the web server may be temporarily out of service
    3. if you are connecting through a proxy server, the proxy settings may be incorrect
    4. an error may have occured in the web server
    opening sharepoint site through SPD:
    the folder 'http://mysp.domain.com/site/default.aspx' isn't accessible. the folder may be located in an unavailable location, protected with a password, or the filename contains a / or \.
    the thing is ... we have no problem with sharepoint designer 2007.
    any idea?

    Hi p.andrew,
    If you want to open the site use SPD, you should enable the Client Integration for the web application at first.
    Here are the steps:
    1.      
    Go to this location : “Central administration” > “Security” > “Specify authentication provider”;
    2.      
    Select the Web Application which you want to edit use SPD (SharePoint Designer 2010), and click the “Default” below the ‘Zone’;
    3.      
    Select the “Yes” radio button
     in the Client Integration section, and click the ‘Save’ Button;
    4.      
    Close and re-Open the IE;
    5.      
    Try to Open the site using SPD.
