Migrating Best-bets and Visual Best-bets to SharePoint Online

Hello Experts,
I understood that ther is a promoted result feature in the query rules section that can be used as an equivalent of FAST best-bets and visual best-bets.
But in our FAST search 2010, we have close to 2000 of them. How is it possible to migrate them to SPO searach? Manually adding them is definitly the last option and not recommended as well.
Is there a way we can import/export or any CSOM or PS CMDLETs or any other new thing that is available that can automate this migration?
Thank you,
Aswath NS

Hello Matt, fellow archaeologist :)
Security updates are essential on any and all software, specially your browser. Mozilla is working to streamline the updating process as much as possible, but you shouldn't neglect your own security for a few seconds of "wasted" time.

What is the best practice and Microsoft best recommended procedure of placing "FSMO Roles on Primary Domain Controller (PDC) and Additional Domain Controller (ADC)"??

Hi,
I have Windows Server 2008 Enterprise and have
2 Domain Controllers in my Company:
Primary Domain Controller (PDC)
Additional Domain Controller (ADC)
My (PDC) was down due to Hardware failure, but somehow I got a chance to get it up and transferred
(5) FSMO Roles from (PDC) to (ADC).
Now my (PDC) is rectified and UP with same configurations and settings. (I did not install new OS or Domain Controller in existing PDC Server).
Finally I want it to move back the (FSMO Roles) from
(ADC) to (PDC) to get UP and operational my (PDC) as Primary.
(Before Disaster my PDC had 5 FSMO Roles).
Here I want to know the best practice and Microsoft best recommended procedure for the placement of “FSMO Roles both on (PDC) and (ADC)” ?
In case if Primary (DC) fails then automatically other Additional (DC) should take care without any problem in live environment.
Example like (FSMO Roles Distribution between both Servers) should be……. ???
Primary Domain Controller (PDC) Should contains:????
Schema Master
Domain Naming Master
Additional Domain Controller (ADC) Should contains:????
RID
PDC Emulator
Infrastructure Master
Please let me know the best practice and Microsoft best recommended procedure for the placement of “FSMO Roles.
I will be waiting for your valuable comments.

Muhammad Daud

Here I want to know the best practice
and Microsoft best recommended procedure for the placement of “FSMO Roles both on (PDC) and (ADC)” ?
There is a good article I would like to share with you:http://oreilly.com/pub/a/windows/2004/06/15/fsmo.html
For me, I do not really see a need to have FSMO roles on multiple servers in your case. I would recommend making it simple and have a single DC holding all the FSMO roles.
In case if
Primary (DC) fails then automatically other Additional (DC) should take care without any problem in live environment.
No. This is not true. Each FSMO role is unique and if a DC fails, FSMO roles will not be automatically transferred.
There is two approaches that can be followed when an FSMO roles holder is down:
If the DC can be recovered quickly then I would recommend taking no action
If the DC will be down for a long time or cannot be recovered then I would recommend that you size FSMO roles and do a metadata cleanup
Attention! For (2) the old FSMO holder should never be up and online again if the FSMO roles were sized. Otherwise, your AD may be facing huge impacts and side effects.

Reporting and exporting to Excel in SharePoint Online

Hi
I've developed a SharePoint site to replace a legacy Access database that dealt with consumer complaints and queries. In the Access database I'd developed a feature that allowed users to filter the complaints by a number of criteria and export them to Excel
and I'm trying to do the same in SharePoint.
If it were on-premises SharePoint I'd just create a parameterised SSRS report which would solve all my problems. However being SharePoint online, this is not an option. I'd like the users to be able to select complaints from any date range, for any category
of complaint and for any product supplier (plus a few other criteria). The idea is that they want to be able to then send the filtered data to individual suppliers. Doing this out of the box with views throws up several problems. The main one is that any export
to Excel of a view exports the entire set of data, meaning that users themselves would need to create a new view for every export they wished to perform, which is not practical.
My question is: what is the best way in SharePoint online to export a filtered subset of a list to Excel?
I can use SharePoint designer, but not C# in order to achieve the goal. We also have SharePoint Online Plan 2 if that makes it easier.
Thanks in advance,
Duncan

How to apply customization through visual studio to the SharePoint online

We have an existing SharePoint online site, now there are some changes in functionality is required, can we do that change through visual studio and send that change to
SharePoint online site? will it work?
or we have to do the same only through the JQuery or other client side code directly to the site?

Short list of what can't be done:
deploy any compiled code to a server. This includes DLLs, EXEs and full trust SharePoint Solutions.
deploy any file to a server disk drive. This includes anything usually stored in the 15 hive, site definitions, etc.
What can be done:
Anything that could also be done with SharePoint Designer.
Anything that is a file that can be loaded into a library. You can create and upload pages, as long as there is no server side code (C# etc.). These pages can include JavaScript, jQuery, CSOM, HTML, CSS, etc.
Create SharePoint 2013 apps. These can run custom code, but only if on an external to SharePoint servers.

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.

Can I use Visual Studio to develop Sharepoint Online workflows on existing site lists?

I've been using Sharepoint Designer to develop workflows in Sharepoint 2013 on Office 365, but hitting limitations. I would like, for example, to be able to trigger a workflow when a list item is deleted.
Perhaps naively I thought Visual Studio should be able to help. I've read of useful things like Remote Event Receivers - sounds exactly what I need. I've used VS before for Windows desktop applications in VB, so downloaded a trial version of VS 2013.
Now I'm having doubts. It looks like I can create a Sharepoint App on a development site and create lists and workflows within it, but I can't access my existing lists to do anything more sophisticated than I already can in SPD. Is that right?
I was expecting to be able to enter my Sharepoint site URL into Visual Studio somewhere, just like in SPD, and do wonderful things with my lists - but unless I'm missing something, that's not possible.
Have I just got it completely wrong??!

yes you can check those links

Scripting in Visual Studio 2013 against Sharepoint online - is it possible?

Hi,
I've been plowing through documentation on developing SharePoint apps but all I really want to do (right now anyways) is getting a more robust environment for coding scripts and HTML on SharePoint online 2013.
Currently I'm using SharePoint Designer 2013 to edit scripts that are in webparts like the Content Editor. It works but SharePoint Designer has terrible syntax highlighting and when things get complex it's a pain.
Question is: How can I point Visual Studio 2013 Community at a SharePoint 2013 online (Office 365) site so that I can open scripts and edit/publish like is done in SharePoint designer? I need to be able to achieve this without all the sharepoint server
malarkey.
Is it possible? Can someone point me at a resource? I've done a lot of digging but can't find anything so maybe not doable but couldn't hurt to ask.
Thanks,
Jerry

While working with app development, especially SharePoint hosted apps you can use SPFastDeploy VS extension to deploy the changes from your app.
https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/9e03d0f5-f931-4125-a5d1-7c1529554fbd
If you create a SharePoint will create set of script files where App.js is the Key file and for HTML you can use Default.aspx. You can make changes to these files and just deploy only those changes to the App which will save lot of time and you can see the
changes immediately.
Regarding VS 2013 community, i haven't tried yet specific to SharePoint apps development.
Hope this helps.

Difference between flash builder beta and flash builder beta 2 webservice.

hey guys... got a quick weird question, im using a lot of webservices, and i immidiately noticed the new thing in the interospection wizard, there is a new field in the wizard called "Data type package", i was wondering what that field is exactly??
i never noticed anything like that in the previous versions of flex,
from my understanding it just sticks all the main components under "valueObjects"
Thanks in Advance

so let's say you have some php service and it returns a collection of objects through amf.
for example your php has something like:
$array = new array();
$car1 = new car();
$car1->year = 2009;
$car1->model = 'ford';
$car1 = new car();
$car1->year = 2005;
$car1->model = 'audi';
$array[] = $car1;
$array[] = $car2;
return $array;
well, when FB receives this data (when your return the config type) it will recognize that you're returning a collection of objects, specifically a collection of car objects that contain two properties (year:int and model:String).
FB will offer to generate the Flex car class for you and you can store this autogenerated class in your valueObject folder (or whatever folder you want).
does that answer your q??

Best Practises and Guidelines for SharePoint 2013 Development

Currently We are using SharePoint 2010 and doing a lot of enhancement and customization in the portal.
we are planning to migrate SharePoint 2013 after 6-9 months.
I want to know what are the best practices and guidelines for development in SharePoint 2010 keeping one thing in mind that customization should be compatible or can easily migrate to SharePoint 2013 so that re-engineering effort would be as minimum
as possible.
We have every possible piece of customization in SharePoint 2010 portal like web part, event receivers, workflows, master page, page layout, custom search etc.
Please do the needful.

Best practices don't really apply here. They are generally rules of thumb that you can apply without thinking too much and be pretty much right. Development is by it's nature too varied to allow that sort of best practice guidance.
Having said that the main thing you should be concerned with around the choice of development approach in 2013 is the intended future of your client and the application. If they are making a move to the cloud you should be concentrating on the app model
and rapidly phasing out farm solutions. If they are considering it then you can still consider using the more old-school options of farm solutions and sandboxed solutions. If they can't go to the cloud because of data security etc. then you are more or less
free to use what you like.
Also, try to move to client side processing wherever possible. MS are only going to make server side work less pleasant in future.
Beyond that, get to some conferences and start chewing through some of the blogs on the topic.

What's the best setting for a best shades quality?

Hi!
I would like to know what are the best codec and the best setting for a video with 1920x1080 of resolution.
I've tried them all but nothing because the shades...are not shades.
I want a video that is like a uncompressed video but lighter. Same quality, same shades.
I've tried with Canopus Lossless but the video is darker and huge (7 min for >17 gb),
then with Canopus HQ, same quality but a little bit lighter (6 gb),
I've tried with all of codecs and settings but I haven't found what I want.
Who can help me for the best settings for the best shades?
Thanks so much.
P.S: Sorry for my english!

I used the PNG codec but the video is too big.
New Question: I've tried to encode the video with Canopus HQ but to 720p and now the video is more lighter, I wanted to upload it on YouTube but is not compatible with the standards.
If I encode this video by changeing the codec to Microsoft Avi uncompressed, can I have the same quality and the same weight?

Clarification on SharePoint Online and SQL Server

I have several subsites on a SharePoint 2013 server that uses external content types and the Business Data Connectivity Service to access tables in a SQL Server database. I used the Sharepoint 2013 Designer to configure most of this, but at times, I also
used Visual Studio 2013. Everything works fine. It successfully uses a secure store Application ID to authenticate connections to a remote SQL Server (i.e. the SQL Server and SharePoint server are 2 completely different machines that are not even within the
same domain). The external lists on the SharePoint site are capable of reading data in the SQL tables, updating data, adding new data, and deleting old data. I have specified permissions to users/groups that help me control who can access the external lists
on the SharePoint sites. Everything has been working well for a while now.
But now I have to start thinking about using SharePoint Online, instead of an on-premises SharePoint server. And everything I am reading indicates that what I do above is not going to work with SharePoint Online. It sounds like I will have to either move
our database to a SQL Azure service, or if I want to continue using our existing SQL Server, then I am going to have to develop a WCF service that will allow SharePoint Online to communicate with our own SQL Server. Am I understanding this correctly? Or is
there a way to take what I did above and make it work with SharePoint Online?
Thank you,
Steven

Hi,
We can use Hybrid Connections to connect SharePoint Online to an on-premises SQL Server.
Here is a blog from MSDN for your reference:

We can also customize a WCF service and publish it to public web site to achieve it.

Import webcontents and documents from Microsoft CMS/Sharepoint into UCM

Hi,
Does anyone know if there are any automated tools available to migrate web content and documents from Microsoft CMS/Sharepoint into UCM? Are there any alternative ways of acheiving the same functionality?
Kind Regards
Mughees

Your scenario would be improved if you understand the differences between definitions, templates, masterpages and themes. I've been able to add a Jquery reference to a masterpage quite easily and reference their functions in sites a considerable
way down the Site Collection hierarchy.
So, your "I hate SharePoint" edit leads me to want to say something. I appreciate I'm going to come across as a Microsoft fanboy here, which isn't my intention.
Every single post I read of yours has something negative to say about SharePoint (sometimes entertaining I'll grant you). If you find the product that unbearable, stop working with it. It's not terribly professional to constantly whinge about
the product within the community that you're asking for help. This sort of stuff is best saved for a blog rather than the official support forums. Trying to understand SharePoint Development on its own without any real effort of looking at how your
solution is architected or OOB options, it's inevitable that you'll run into problems.
This book might be a good reference for you to dip into if you've got a prolonged stay in SharePoint 2013 planned

Preserving old Created On dates during SharePOint Online migration

We are currently migrating files from our on-premise fileshare to SharePoint Online. We wish to carry as much file meta data from the fileshare into SharePoint Online, but when we drag&drop a file from the fileshare to our Documents
library in in SharePoint we lose the original Created On data stored on the fileshare i.e. SharePoint site column 'Created' is populated with the date the file is created on SharePoint and not the original date of the file.
Could anyone advise on how we can carry the Created On date from the fileshare into SharePoint?

I believe Office 365 supports only web templates, not site templates. There is a subtle difference between these two.
http://geekswithblogs.net/erwinvanhunen/archive/2012/02/09/creating-a-site-collection-from-your-own-webtemplate-on-office.aspx
You need to create a custom web template, import it as .wsp, upload to Solutions gallery of Office 365 site-collection and activate it it. Have your done this ??
I don't think you get direct access to log files for troubleshooting correlation id issues. You may need to contact microsoft support.

Migrating SP 2010 to SharePoint Online (Office 365) - Site Template issue - Any advice?

Hi there,
I am migrating our SP 2010 site collection to O365 SharePoint Online. The new sites do not show up fine, I suspect this is because I am choosing wrong site templates. Any advice on this will be appreciated.
Thank you.

You can test this if you open your office 365 site in your browser, and then off IE menu, view source, and search for
g_wsaSiteTemplateId
then you can see what that results in, possibly g_wsaSiteTemplateId = BLANKINTERNET#0'
do same steps for your SharePoint site, if they have the same value for g_wsaSiteTemplateId, you'll need to export content granually, each list and library and then upload to your Office 365. There are 3rd party tools out there that will do this for
you too. for ex,
