Configure site auditing in sharepoint online using powershell or Client object model

Is the any way to configure site collection audit settings in sharepoint online programmatically or using powershell.

Hi Bhism,
The solution given in the article is for sharepoint 2010, i want to enable site auditing in Sharepoint 2013.
When i tried using that for sharepoint 2013 making he neccessary changes required for sharepoint 2013 i got an error :
Unable to find type [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAuditMaskType]: make sure that the
assembly containing this type is loaded.
I think the assembly is for SP2010, is there anything like that for SP2013
Thanks in Advance.

Building Site Collections in SharePoint Online

Hello all,
Please forgive me for this very basic question, but I was not able to find the info online.
Background info: I have a great deal of experience with SharePoint administration on-prem but not much experience with SharePoint Online. My current organization has O365 and wants to build a collaboration environment and an Intranet. I understand the information
architecture practices that would have been common for this for an on-prem environment, and I understand that those have changed with 2013 and SharePoint Online due to the new practice of organizing everything under one web app.
Between reading some articles and using my experience with on-prem, I am trying to design an organized information architecture that will facilitate both environments and the permissions structures they require. My tentative plan was to build one site collection
for the Intranet under https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/sites (under which subsites would be built for various Intranet divisions), and then a number of individual site collections for the collaboration environment under https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/teams
(/hr, /finance, etc., so that content owners and users could work in their own site collection without affecting a site collection belonging to someone else).
This is the article that initially caused me to believe that this is possible/a good idea: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/richard_dizeregas_blog/archive/2014/09/01/sharepoint-online-information-architecture-considerations.aspx.
"For [managed paths] you get the root, /search (explicit managed path), /sites (wildcard managed path), and /teams (wildcard managed path)."
However this article leads me to believe that I will not be allowed to create any site collections at all, only subsites: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Plan-sites-and-manage-users-8e568d8d-3d65-42c4-99fa-f7285c9db842.
"You cannot create additional site collections in SharePoint Online for Office 365 for Small Business."
I understand the answer to this may depend on what version of O365 we have, and I am working to find that out.
My understanding is that I cannot be made a SharePoint Online administrator without being a global O365 administrator: http://blogs.technet.com/b/lystavlen/archive/2012/06/14/understanding-the-administrator-role-in-sharepoint-online.aspx.
"You cannot separate the roles of Office 365 global administrator and SharePoint Online Administrator."
Thus, I don't currently have the level of access I need to browse around the administration area and find the answers to my questions that way. When the time comes, I will likely be given temporary access or will be working with an O365 global administrator
to build.
Main question: Will I be allowed to build site collections under managed paths?
Larger question: How are others managing the information architecture for an Intranet and a Collaboration environment in SharePoint Online, especially if the answer to the prior question is no?
Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer.

Hi,
According to the error message, the Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.Client.Tenant.dll seems not been loaded.
You can find it in the path below:
C:\Program Files\SharePoint Client Components\Assemblies
A code snippet about how to retrieve a list of site collections in a tenant for your reference:
const string username = "[email protected]";
const string password = "password";
const string tenantAdminUrl = "https://yourdomain-admin.sharepoint.com/";
var securedPassword = new SecureString();
foreach (var c in password.ToCharArray()) securedPassword.AppendChar(c);
var credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(username, securedPassword);
using (var context = new ClientContext(tenantAdminUrl))
context.Credentials = credentials;
var tenant = new Tenant(context);
SPOSitePropertiesEnumerable spp = tenant.GetSiteProperties(0, true);
context.Load(spp);
context.ExecuteQuery();
foreach (SiteProperties sp in spp)
Console.WriteLine(sp.Title);

Backup - Restore process of a Site Collection in SharePoint Online

Hi, I have a couple of questions.
1) What do I have to do to get a backup-restore of a site collection in SharePoint Online?
2) Can I myself perform a backup-restore or just backup a site collection without using any 3rd party tool?
Any inputs on these will be helpful. Thanks in advance!

Hi,
what you can instead of backup and restore site is to save it as template, check this thread

Using microsoft.sharepoint.client.search.analytics to report the monthly hit count of site collections on SharePoint Online

Is it possible to use microsoft.sharepoint.client.search.analytics to report the monthly hit count of site collections on SharePoint Online.
GetHitCountForDay()
GetHitCountForMonth()
If yes, how can this be called and executed successfully from a Console application using the Client Object Model.

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.

Issue removing a site collection from Sharepoint Online

A sharepoint site owner deleted their site by going to site settings delete this site. This didn't remove the site collection from the Sharepoint Online admin portal in Office 365. When I attempt to delete here I get the following error "
Sorry, something went wrong
There is no site in the current site subscription matching the HiddenSiteSelection control's value.
I've tried running using Powershell commands to delete the site and I get an error.
What do I need to do to remove the site from the admin portal.
Thanks

HI,i would recommend run the PowerShell cmdlet to check if this website exists. Here are the detailed steps:
1. Set up the SharePoint Online Management Shell Windows PowerShell environment
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161372.aspx
2. Run the command Get-SPOSite, it will return all site collections.
3. Check if the problematic public site collection is shown in the result. If it shows up, run another command to remove it. For example:
Remove-SPOSite -Identity https://expertsharepoint/sites/site1 -NoWait
This will remove the site collection named https://expertsharepoint/sites/site1 from the site collections list and moves it to the Recycle Bin.
4. Delete the site from the Recycle Bin:
Remove-SPODeletedSite -Identity https://expertsharepoint/sites/site1

Is there any REST API to get all the Site and site Collections from Sharepoint Online

Hi,
I have one SharePoint Online tenant. We are using REST API to integrate SharePoint to our internal System.
For my use case I need to get all the SharePoint sites ans Sitecollections. From each SiteCollection I need all the subsites under this.
I have used below REST Query
http://<Base site url>/_api/web
This doesn't give me all the Site collections
Could any one please give me some way to get all the Site collections and sites from my sharepoint tenant through REST API.
Thanks,

Hi Abhiram,
There seems no such endpoint in SharePoint REST API can retrieve a list of site collections in a SharePoint Online tenant:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj860569.aspx#Reference
If Client Object Model can be an option for you, you can use Tenant object to achieve what you want:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/24050.perform-basic-admin-operations-using-csom-in-sharepoint-online.aspx#Scenario_3_Fetch_All_Site_Collections
Anyway, I would suggest you submit a feedback to the Office Developer Platform if there any expectation about the future version of REST API of Office 365 SharePoint
Online:
http://officespdev.uservoice.com/
It
is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products. What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft
Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.

Dearbhla Bradley

The exception is pretty clear. for some reason the script is not able to open the folder TestFolder1 on the local hard drive.
I noticed in the script you have specified the $Folder variable to be "C:\Users\user\Documents\SharepointTestFolder" while the exception is for "C:\FilePath\TestFolder\TestFolder1"
Will you please help me understand this difference?
Also, sorry I'm not familiar with the "recurse" calling method. I'm suspecting you're telling it to call the ImportFiles() function again, though if this is the case it looks to me that it's reusing the same $Folder variable that was defined at the start,
rather than using the folder object you have just identified.

How can I get a list of OOB Site from a SharePoint WebApplication using Powershell Script

Hi,
Could anybody help on this?
Thanks,
Srabon
srabon

You can include the WebTemplate parameter in the select, from that you will get the template ID for all sites.
I am sure you know the custom template IDs then just filter / use if else to get the desired results.
check this blog, track inventory session.

I can authenticate with sharepoint using CSOM but do not what to do next.
As service user is not administrator I cannot use "SPOService".
This script works OK for standard website, but not for Sharepoint.

$doc.Load("http://www.{CompanySite}.com/feed/")
$doc.save("C:\temp\feed.xml")
I am getting this error when using for company Sharepoint:
"The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden."
Thanks for your time considering this question.

$client.Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($User, $SecurePassword)
$client.Headers.Add("X-FORMS_BASED_AUTH_ACCEPTED", "f")

Can't delete a Site Collection from SharePoint admin center completely

Hi All
I'm using Office365. And I wanted to delete a Site Collection from SharePoint admin center.
But at first, I couldn't delete it from there. So I opened the Site and delete it from the Site setting successfully.
Then I went back to SharePoint admin center to check it was deleted or not completely.
But the Site Collection was still on the Site Collections list.....
Things I did are
1. IE -> Tools->Internet Options-> In General Tab click on Delete in browsing history section and check all options and again click on delete.
2. Close and re-open the browser and sign back in
I wanna make free server resource to create new Site Collection.
Does anyone know how to delete a Site Collection completely?

Hi,
Can you try delete the site collection using SharePoint online power shell command? Refer the following link for that.
Delete site collection
Also, while deleting site collection from Admin Center, do you get any warning?Or what are steps you follow to delete the Site Collection from Admin Center?
Thanks,

How can I copy documents from a Sharepoint On Premises library to a Sharepoint Online library and at the same time preserving their metadata?

How can I copy documents from a Sharepoint On Premises library to a Sharepoint Online library and at the same time preserving their metadata?
I use the Open Explorer Windows to drag and drop the files, but the metadata are not copied. Thanks.

To maintain the metadata you'll need to use one of the third party tools that does this kind of migration. Metalogix has a product with a free trial that we have used before. (Don't remember whether the free version maintains metadata or not).

If possible I do not want to use workflow.
Is It possible to do it without using workflow?

hello Steven Andrews,
when any user sends a message using contact us page in SharePoint online.
1. We are inserting item in Contact Us List . - This is working fine
for anonymous users also. We have used Office365 anonymous codeplex wsp and it is working fine. Anonymous user is able to insert new record in the Contact Us List.
2. Once, new record is inserted in Contact Us list, we want to fire email notifying thanks to the user on his email id as well as to our company x person for notification of new inquiry.
We tried using Workflow having impersonation step for anonymous user but it is not working for Anonymous users. Workflow is able to sent the email if someone logged into system but not working for Anonymous user although workflow is getting started
but not able to send email although used Imperonsation step.
We are stuck into implementing second step.
