Move-SPSite with no IIS reset?

Does anyone know the definite or potential side-effects of not performing an IIS reset immediately after performing a Move-SPSite command to move a site collection from one content database to another is?
We have been tasked with splitting some our larger content databases up to make them more manageable and are using Move-SPSite to do so.  However, we are operating in a 24/hour no-break environment and have to submit an outage report in order to
request and perform an IIS reset.  To move a site collection on the other hand, we only have get approval from the site collection owner.
So our plan is to move all the site collections throughout the week when possible and then submit one outage report to perform the IIS reset once they are all moved.  But in the meantime, what are the negative consequences of moving a site and then
not performing an IIS reset for a few days?

It's true that the Move-SPSite command doesn't require downtime.  But after the process completes, it displays
the message "WARNING: IIS must be restarted before this change will take effect. To restart IIS, open a command prompt window and type iisreset."
The iisrest command does affect app pools, and this is the reason we have to submit an outage request before we can perform one.  In reality, the impact of an iisreset is small and the duration is short, but the powers that be deemed it outage request
worthy.
We have tested this in test and couldn't find any issues.  But we're still nervous because just because we couldn't find an issue doesn't mean one doesn't exist.

  • Does IIS Reset stop/start or IIS Restart fix template issues? See photos.

    I have been having major template issues over the past couple of weeks where several templates give me access denied. I have been in contact with Microsoft about the issue, but after 2 days and 5 hours on the phone, the issue still cannot be resolved.
    I then tried to use old sites that had the templates and "Save Site as Template". The new template that was saved are stored in the Solutions Gallery (template is "activated"). 
    I ran the create new site process and chose the new template that I saved. 
    The template looked like this last week,
    Now the template looks like this today.
    In between last week and this week, I did an SP2 installation to Project Server 2010/SharePoint 2010. 
    I also did an IIS Reset /stop and IIS reset/ start
    I also went into the IIS Manager on the central administration server and clicked "Restart".
    This is a very time sensitive issue, and want to know how I accidentally resolved the issue. It's very weird that any of these above would change the template, but somehow it did. I do not want to reset IIS if I do not have to. If anyone has any idea on
    how this could have gotten resolved it would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi TR,
    Not sure if iisreset always fixes this issue.
    Sorry for my misleading description, I thought that there was a possiable that some js/css files weren't loaded in the browser randomly for new site created based on the template, so I think maybe some js/css files customized
    and referenced in the orginal site (or in new site) may need to be checked-in and published.
    Now I think is it possible that the issue is related to js/css load sequence in browser? or is it browser compatible issue(maybe not based on iisreset)?
    Or you may try add new site in trusted site in IE see if it helps.
    Also check if browser F12 developer tool could provide some useful information.
    Thanks

  • Recovering from IIS reset

    Hello,
    How to recover from a scenario when on the only server in the organisation running Exchange 2013 (other servers still run Exchange 2007), the IIS configuration files have been completly lost and back-ups are not available?
    I have an empty Default Web Site, I cannot start Exchange Management console, and I have to restore ECP, OWA, EWS, Autodiscover, PowerShell, OAB and Active-Sync...
    Since Exchange 2013 relies on IIS, is there any comprehensive guide on how to recover from a complete IIS reset?
    Przemo

    Hi,
    Thank you for your replies. I know that I have to rebuild virtual directories but it seems there is no way to do it. I cannot uninstall Exchange 2013 because it already contains several mailboxes.
    I already tried the recover switch but it only checks if necessery (according to AD config) roles are installed and once it finds them in the regisistry it assumes that everything is ok (what a silly assumption!). You could probably delete manualy Exchange
    binaries and recover switch would tell you that all necessery roles are already installed - so this command
    is useless.
    Now I wasted whole weekend on this and the solution I came up with is a little bit around. I set up separate VM with Windows Server 2012, I created separate Active Directory domain, then I installed Exchange 2013. Once it was complete I copied IIS configs
    from this VM to my broken Exchange server. After some modifications, including configProtectedData and listenerAdapters sections I successfully "restored" IIS virtual directories.
    Best regards
    Przemo

  • Problems running move-spsite

    So I am logged in as the farm admin, and I have a sharepoint console started with "Run as" admin.
    I run
    move-spsite -identity http://myfarm/sites/FE -destinationDatabase ContentDB_FE
    The database exists.
    I start the command and it runs for 1 hour 59 minutes and then I get this error:
    Move-SPSite : The transaction log for database 'ContentDB_FE' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases
    At line:1 char:38
    + Move-SPSite <<<<  -Identity

    : InvalidData: (Microsoft.Share...PCmdletMoveSite:  SPCmdletMoveSite) [Move-SPSite], SPCmdletException
        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPCmdletMoveSite
    I talked to the DBAs. They have transaction logging set to simple. They trimmed the log. They freed up space on the drive where the transaction log is located.
    And still I get this error.
    Does anyone have any other suggestions that I could pass along to the DBAs?

    I have seen issues with false error messages around the log files in the past. Two hours is a long, long time for that comandlet to run. If memory serves the Backup-SPSite and Move-SPSite comandlets are only recommended for 100GB or smaller site collections
    as over that size they can fail. Would you be over the 100GB point?
    Nigel Price was looking at this a few months back, i'm not sure if he ever found a good solution.

  • Move graphics with text--but not inline--in PM...??

    Hello, is there a way in PageMaker to move graphics with text but not inline? I ask because right now I see two options for graphics:
    --inline, so you cannot place the graphic exactly where you want AND the text only flows way above or below--but not next to--the graphic
    or
    --independent so you can place the graphic exactly where you want and the text DOES flow right next to the graphic, but then the graphic doesn't move with the text
    I'd like to be able to place graphics exactly where I want AND have them move with the text, like the "Move object with text" option in Word.
    thank you!
    L

    well it has been a while since i used PageMaker so i didn't realize it was "dead."
    though i'm not surprised and am kind of glad. i was hired into a new job recently
    to work on a department newsletter, and i'm trying to find a good authoring program
    within our budget. right now the newsletter is in Word but we've had a lot of problems
    with Word so i'm seeking an alternate solution. i'd like Frame but again there isn't
    enough money in the budget. i need a good option that is $500 or less...i'm trying Publisher
    now too but not enough functionality...

  • How can I link 1 movie file with several logic projects?

    Hi all,
    I've been  working on the music for a film with a colleague of mine and are sharing logic files via dropbox. 72 cues had to be altered for logisitical reason to work in someone else's studio for the final mix. Since I had a copy of the movie on my machine and my colleague had a copy on his we thought that if we put our movie into the root directory of our logic project's folder then the movie would automatically load up with the projects after we shared them via dropbox. We checked to make sure that both movies had the same filename. Unfortunately this did not work and we had to then reassociate 72 cues individually with each logic project. With such limited time to prepare the cues for the final mix this really took too much time.
    Is there any way in logic (9.1.8) to associate 1 movie file with a number of logic projects quickly, without having to open up the project and select open movie?
    kind regards
    /mischa

    Seems to me that if you both had the movie file in the same location on both of your drives (eg on Macintosh HD at root level, in no other folder) then all the project files would search for this common path and find the file.
    The problem arises when there is even a small difference between path names.
    Unfortunately, this won't help you at this point as all the project files already are associated with unique file paths for the movie. By now, you've probably already done it one by one - but maybe for next time....?
    There's no bulk or quick way to do this.

  • Try to open mov file with quicktime, says can't open pdf files.

    Hi to everyone,
    Suddenly I try to open a mov, any mov file, with quicktime 10.4 and some times opens the finder and nothing more, some times says that it cannot open one pdf document ( a document I actually have but never try to open with QT). some times QT says it canot open some png or jpg file.
    But I double click mov files. And the incoherence is permanent, I mean that for the same movie file says it can't open the same pdf file, and in other file the same png, or the same jpg.. it depends on the mov file I try to open.  Like if somewhere, somme kind of cache, adresse or reference is wrong.
    this is the text of one of those messages when I double click a mov file:
    "The document “phoenixRoomfillerB_v001_0104.jpg” could not be opened. QuickTime Player cannot open files in the “JPEG image” format."
    And if I try again and again, at some point QT open only the finder window.
    The weird thing is that on the finder window i can see the preview and play the preview. and the same mov files play well with VLC. And if I copy the mov file to my desktop it plays well unless QT start to open only the finder window, if that happens it does not work anymore with any file.
    The files are on an external drive with 3 partitions.
    And I make all the possible cleaning that I can:
    I am the administrator of the imac and I am the only one to use it.
    I am the owner of the volume
    I use disk utility to check and everything is ok
    I use onyx to clean as much as possible, cache, boot, volume structure, smart status, home folder permissions, kernel, extensions, QT components, etc. and everything works fine.
    Imac 27 inch late 2012.
    Intel 3.4 GHz  i7

    thanx.

    Try QT v7.x which is located inside your Utility folder.

    Hi,
    As your notebook is a business class machine, security is more stringent - the password is stored in non-volatile memory and there are no 'backdoor' passwords.  Your best option would be to contact HP regarding this.

  • .mov files with alpha channels won't import on Adobe Premiere Pro CC

    Just FYI, Apple:
    This issue with Quicktime not seeing .mov files in Finder (or I should say, not playing them) is a HUGE problem for anyone who edits video.
    If you export a file as .mov in After Effects, and have any transparency (RGB+Alpha channels), there is no way to import them into current projects. None.
    PLEASE fix this, as I quite enjoy my job, and don't feel like losing it because my client doesn't understand why they can't have lower thirds in their video I'm contracted to do (and subsequently fires me and finds someone on a Windows rig).
    Thanks.

    What is up!
    Based on my tests, it appears that the Mavericks embedded QT structure no longer considers many of the legacy compression formats to be supported under Mavericks. These formats were, by default, turned off under Lion and Mountain Lion which may indicate that Apple intends to drop even passive native support sometime in the future. Files containing Animation or PNG compressed data are no longer QL compatible and now force automatic QT X v10.3 conversion as mentioned above. Even worse, it appears other commonly used fomats like DV/DV in DV and AIC/PCM in MOV are also being relegated to this group. Luckily, DV/PCM in MOV, HDV/PCM in MOV, and ProRes422/PCM in MOV, along with all of my H.264/AAC/AC3/Chapter M4V distribution/iTunes managed files remain fully compatible with both QL and QT X v10.3 under Maverisks. This last is significant for me since many files containing AC3 as the primary audio stream are no longer QL/QT X v10.3 compatible with certain file extensions and/or container types which now appear to be checked in specific situations. Unfortunatly, what we've seen and learned thus far seems to be just the "tip of the iceberge."
