Restoring a Web Application will depend on how you backed it up. Here's a page that discusses all the options for how to restore a Web Application. To restore a Web Application using PowerShell you would use a Restore-SPFarm command, not import-SPWeb.
Import-SPWeb is used to restore a SubSite that was backed up using Export-SPWeb. But for that you need an existing Web Application and Site Collection.

Question regarding the powershell creation of service applications in SharePoint 2010/2013

Hi
I create all my service applications in SharePoint 2010/2013 using Powershell.
Is there a "best practice" when to start the service Instance for a service application? Is it better to start the service instance prior to creating a service application or after the service application has been create?
I'm curious.
best regards
Bjorn

Not that i'm aware of. If it works then go for it.
I would tend to build the service application and only then activate the instances on servers, however that is going to depend heavily on the application in question. The real heavyweights like Search are a special case in any event.

Service application in sharepoint 2010

hi all,
i'm new to sharepoint. i have a small problem, i have created a customer service application and deploey it to sharepoint and tested it, and everything worked fine for me. now i checked the IIS and under Sharepoint Web Services i couldn't find my service,
can anybody tell what can be the cause for such an issue and how i can see the guid of my service under Sharepoint Web Services in IIS (Make sure that this is a custom service application).
thanks very much !!

Hi,
if you deploy the custom service application, we can’t find it under SharePoint Web Service site in IIS. We can find it in SharePoint Central Administration.

How to find if a ManagedMetadata is used in a web application in SharePoint 2010 programmatically

Hi,
Is there any way using SharePoint 2010 server object model that we can find out which managed metadata is used in any of the sites in web application.
Regards, Shruti

You can use the code below. You'll need to check all of the fields in each web, as well as each list, so you'll need to use it in a loop. Also, in my example, I'm just getting the first termset in the first term group in the first term store. You'd want
to change that to the termset you need.
using (var site = new SPSite("http://siteurl"))
TaxonomySession s = new TaxonomySession(site);
TermStore store = s.TermStores[0];
Group group = store.Groups[0];
TermSet termSet = group.TermSets[0];
using (var web = site.RootWeb)
var fields = web.Fields;
foreach (SPField f in fields)
if (f.FieldValueType == typeof (Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy.TaxonomyFieldValueCollection) || f.FieldValueType == typeof (Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy.TaxonomyFieldValueCollection))
var tf = f as TaxonomyField;
if (tf.TermSetId == termSet.Id)
//do something
var log = String.Format("Field {0} is a memeber of TermSet {1}", f.StaticName, termSet.Name);

Hello all,
We have two SharePoint applications,
1. SharePoint 2010 application which uses Classic mode of authentication
2. SharePoint 2013 application which uses claim based authentication + Form Based Authentication.
We have provided a link for SharePoint 2013 application in SharePoint 2010 application.
Once user logs into SharePoint 2010 application and clicks on the link of SharePoint 2013 application, user sholuld not be prompted for the credentials again and should be able to login to landing page.
How can we go about this, need an help. Any help is appreciated.

Is this an intranet application, in which you can add the sites to the trusted internet zone or intranet zone to allow your machine to automatically pass credentials.
That of course won't make the FBA work automatically, that isn't possible as far as i know.

Trying to link SharePoint 2010 Enterprise with SharePoint 2013 Search Server raises error

Hi,
I am currently working for a multinational who has SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Edition installed, 2 WFE SERVERS, 3 APP SERVERS, 1 DB SERVER. They also installed SharePoint 2013 Exterprise recently.
   Microsoft have recently come in and set up the SharePoint 2013 Search Server to crawl content in SharePoint 2010 as the replacement search to SharePoint 2010 Search. So they have gone through process of certificates and permissions
setups I guess. I was told it was working, but recently failed. When I type in the search box on a web site for SharePoint 2010 I get the message:
         The search request was unable to connect to the Search Service.
I checked the Event log and the Critical error (in Task Category:Timer) I get is the notorious:
The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.CrawlReportJobDefinition (ID fa882704-80d9-415b-9b9d-eae5e9bdefd4) threw an exception. More information is included below.
        The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration
        component. Verify that the administration component 'e9172a05-22ec-4904-9508-
        e5431a180c2b' in search application 'Search_Service_Application' is in a good state and
        try again.
I know administration component is the crawler. I am assuming this is permissions.
The SharePoint 2013 Search Server is picking up SharePoint 2010 site collections items fine i.e. The SharePoint 2013 search shows items from 2010 as expected.
On the SharePoint 2010 central admin box the search service enabled and running (checked with powershell). (SharePoint Server Search 14)
The Search Service id: e9172a05-22ec-4904-9508-e5432a180c2b
I also get the message in event log for gatherer on SharePoint 2010 CA and Search Server:
       Could not access the Search database. A generic error occurred while trying to access the database to obtain
       the schema version info.
       Context: Application 'e9172a05-22ec-4904-9508-e5431a180c2b'
Details:
            (0x80040e09)
Is this permissions to delete something from crawler??????
I would appreciate if someone could help on this. I have tried to be as concise as possible.
Thanks.
John.

It was a case that someone had fiddled with the Service App Associations. Hadn't ticked SharePoint 2013 search. Was still point at 2010. Thanks.
The SharePoint 2013 Search works correctly for SharePoint 2010.
Can someone confirm that the Search Service Application on SharePoint 2010 still needs to exist and hence SharePoint Server Search 14 Service still needs to be running? I am guessing it would as you search from 2010 interface not 2013. I am getting a critical
error in the Event Viewer:
CrawlReportJobDefinition (Id <SharePoint 2010 Crawler>)
The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component <crawler id> in search application "Search Service Application" is in a good state and try
again.
I think this is related to the fact we have SharePoint 2013 doing the search instead of 2010.
Any ideas?
John.

How to implement sharepoint 2010 security implementation at site level ?

Hi,
We are going to implement one school automation system as internet application using sharepoint 2010.
I want to know what type of step's i have to take for best security level implementation in the site level.
Thanking You, Nagendra.

Hiya,
simple as that, SharePoint 2010 has no known vulnerabilities against SQL injections due to the nature of how it works.
It's hard to protect against unknown vulnerabilities. If your planning to allow only authenticated users, you can perform the authentication on a dedicated application server. TMG/UAG/Web Application Proxy.
Besides that, SharePoint 2010 and up was build to be exposed to the internet, with all the considerations that incurs.
I fail to see the validity in the argument about "any web application using Asp.net there is a chance to SQL inject". If you create a custom asp.net application and do not secure yourself, yes you will have a problem. If you do secure yourself, you do not
have a problem. Proposing it as a general approach is faulty.

SharePoint 2010 - Create new site collection in existing web application with different existing content DB

I have a SharePoint 2010 root level site collection SC1 in web application WEBAPP1. I want to create copy of that site collection in same web application WEBAPP1. Apart from Import/Export, Restore/Backup options, will following approach work? If yes , how?
I took backup of content database of web application.
Restored database with different name
Mounted Content database to this WEBAPP1 by assigning new ID to DB
Created new site collection by using this newly mounted DB
Site collection gets created successfully but content does not appear.
Please guide if i can achieve desired functionality by using this approach.
If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered

It is because the Site GUID is identical, and each GUID can only be present on the farm once. You can use Backup-SPSite/Restore-SPSite (which is full-fidelity, unlike Export-SPWeb/Import-SPWeb), which will generate a new GUID for the restore Site Collection,
even in the same Web App.

Problem rename sharepoint 2010 search service application admin database

Hi all,
i have a problem that hopefully someone has an answer to. i am not too familiar with sharepoint so please excuse my ignorance.
we have sharepoint 2010 on a windows 2008r2 server. everything seems to work fine. but as you know, the default database names are horrendous. i have managed to rename all of them, except for the "search service application" admin
database.
the default is: Search_Service_Application_DB_<guid>
the other 2 databases (crawl and property) were renamed without a problem.
we are following the article from technet on how to rename the search service admin db (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-nz/library/ff851878%28en-us%29.aspx). it says to enter the following command:
$searchapp | Set-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -DatabaseName "new database name" -DatabaseServer "dbserver"
however, i get an error about identity being null. no big deal, i add the -Identity switch and the name of my search service application. but the real problem comes the error it throws:
Set-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication : The requested database move was aborted as the associated search application is not paused.
At line:1 char:54
+ $searchapp | Set-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication <<<< -Identity "Search Service Application" -DatabaseName "SharePoint2010_Search_Service_Application_DB" -DatabaseServer "dbserver"
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidData: (Microsoft.Offic...viceApplication:
   SetSearchServiceApplication) [Set-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication], I
nvalidOperationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Cmdlet.SetSearchS
   erviceApplication
when i look at the crawling content sources, i see "Local SharePoint Sites" and it's status is Idle. i even looked at this article on how to pause the search to no avail. (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee808864.aspx)
does someone know how i can rename my Search Service Applcation Admin database properly? or at least "pause" that service so i can rename it?
thank you all in advanced

If you want to have no guids for your search admin db, i recommend you check out this script :)
just delete your search service application (assuming you have just started)
