Multipe discussion boards within one site collection, each with their own email?

So we use several list servs and these have become an issue and the data is lost discussion based on you cannot collectively house and search for information and attachments.
I have a few questions that maybe you could help in my research:
1) Is SharePoint discussions capable of having multiple discussion boards in one site collection, each with their own email address to replace the function of a list serv (so at a minimum content can be organized, with attachments available, and replies
can be seen/sent via email.)
2) From an attachment perspective; what is the best way to ensure virus blocking in the above scenario IF the above scenario is able to be done
3) Is there OOTB functionality here or is there a recommended third party product? (I am not looking to build out a custom solution if at all possible to avoid that)
any thoughts or input here would be greatly appreciated!

1) - Yes, discussion boards are just specially formatted lists and yes, each discussion board can have their own email address.
2) - Blocked file types can be configured in CA and I believe that SP will strip out any emails with blocked file types attached (not 100% on that, probably 95% sure)
3) All out of the box (assuming SP will block the attachments as I assumed in #2

I look after multiple ipads each with their own itunes account. How can I manage them all from one computer.

I am looking after 20 ipads each with their own itunes account. Am I able to have more than one itunes account on my computer so that I can sync these ipads when necessary. We don't always buy our songs on itunes. Sometimes we buy the cds and download them onto itunes so i need to attach them to the computer to sync the songs. I will need to do this all on my one computer. Can this be done. If not, what do you do in this instance.

Best way to do it is to create a user for each iTunes account.

HT5622 We are a family of 4, each with their own apple device. Is it best for us to set up individual apple ID's for things like ITunes? If we do can the same e-mail address be used for all of them or do we need to create e-mails for the kids? Thank-you

1. Yes, it is.
2. You may be able to use the same address by adding a plussed suffix to it, such as [email protected] If that doesn't work, create separate emails.

I have several customers each with their own set of forms...

I have several customers each with their own set of 5 standard PDF forms, each customer may fill in the same form up to 60 times, how do i enable these customers to view their own summary data

You can "Share" the form with the users as a "Reader" which will allow them to view the responses and summary reports but not change the data.

Is There A Way To Have A Discussion Board On A Site I Make With iWeb?

I was wondering if you could have a discussion board for people to post things on a site I made using iWeb.
If it is possible, how would I do it?
Thanks,
Sam

That's a yes and no answer…
You can find generic discussion boards free on the web. They normally use mySQL and PHP. I don't think you'd be able to host the discussion board directly on your iDisk. It normally needs a bit of help from a friendly ISP to switch on some things at their end.
But, you can host the discussion board on another server and have a link from your iWeb page.
I hope that isn't too techie sounding and helps you. Good luck!

I have two cell phone, different numbers. Each has their own apple id. How can i merge them so apps on one show on the other but keep their emails addresses separate on their own phone?

Have two cell phones, different numbers. Each has their own apple id. How can I merge them so apps purchased on one phone show on the other. But.as each has their own email address, I want to keep these email addresses separate on their own phone? Thanks.

We do this in my family now. We have one account for purchases, so it is used to share music and apps (I think that is in Settings/iTunes & App Stores). Each iDevice has this configured.
Then, each of us has our own iCloud account that is configured under Settings/iCloud. That then allows us to have our own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Reminders/Safari Bookmarks/Notes/Passbook/Photo Stream/Documents & Data/Find My iPhone/and Backup. That Backup piece is pretty sweet and comes in handly if you replace your iDevice. You can just restore from it.
So we all share the Apple Store account but we all have our own iCloud accounts to keep the rest seperate or things like you mentioned are a nightmare.
In answer to what iCloud does for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
Think of it as an internet based ("cloud") area for all of those items listed in my response. What you need to remember is photo stream only maintans the last 1000 pictures so don't count it as a complete backup solution for your pictures. Even though I rarely sync with a computer these days, I do still try to sync my phone with iPhoto (I have an iMac) so that I have copies of all of my pictures. 1000 may not stretch as far as it sounds.

Managed Metadata values scrambled when copying or moving documents from one Site collection to another.

Hi
What works: Copy or move a document library containing one or more MM columns *within* a Site Collection = all column managed metadata replicated accurately.
What doesn't work: Copy or move a document library containing one or more MM columns *from one Site Collection to another* within the same Webapp. The issue is that some but not all MM values are totally wrong. By totally wrong I mean that the incorrect
terms are associated with a TermSet that is not even referenced in this DL!
Same result for all method's tried:
1) Save the DL as a template (no contents) and then copy or move the documents in
2) Programmatically do the copy
3) Export the list via CA and then reimporting it using Pshell
This thread is very similar but his workaround has not helped in this instance:

Has anyone else experienced this and found the cause/solution? Or can anyone do this without the issues that I have described?
Thanks

Hi Nuno,
I've got to the root of the issue but in answer to your question first: The MM column is attached to a Global Content Type - there is nothing local.
The fact that some are ok and others are not led me down the route of checking the columns at item level. Scripting this did not help - all rows returned are what I would expect. ie The same MMColName with the expected value (as appearing
on the source DL).
On checking SharePoint manager however I have found what looks to be causing the issue.
When checking the properties (ie SiteCollection/Lists/<ListName>/items/<itemName>/Properties) of the 'good' documents against the 'bad' documents I find the following:
Good Docs: The MMColName is displayed as expected at the item level
Field: Name
Field: Internal Name
Item Properties:
Ok?
Partnership Type
Partnership_x0020_Type
Partnership Type
Y
Bad Docs: The MMColName is NOT displayed as expected at the item level. Instead the internal name is displayed:
Field: Name
Field: Internal Name
Item Properties:
Ok?
Register Type
Type_x0020_of_x0020_Licence
Type_x0020_of_x0020_Licence
N
Meeting Type
Meeting_x0020_Type
Meeting Type & Meeting_x0020_Type (Both columns are listed)
N
I should add that each of these 3 examples are taken from 3 different DL's - hence the different Fields
So this looks to be a case of corruption - and unless we can think of any other outcome we will have to look to rebuild the DL - while trying to maintain the metadata!

Is there a way for a site owner to copy a custom calendar that resides on a site on one site collection to a site on another site collection?

A user contacted me about copying and moving information from an old site that is being retired to a new site.
The most important info is the department calendar.
I don't see a way to use the "Manage content and structure" functionality to copy or move a calendar from one site collection to another.
And site owners do not generally have enough permissions to create templates into the gallery.
Is this just not possible for him to do on his own?
Thank you for your help!

I gave up and created templates for the site owner and created the corresponding list for them on the new site.
I was startled to discover that even though I said I wanted to include all content, the 4 columns that were of type "people picker" did not, for the most part, transfer.
So the columns will have to be manually entered. But at least the rest of the effort is done.

Mapping one site collection to one record center

is it possible
assume , am having 10 site collections, and if i create 10 record center site collections , how can i map these 10 site collections to 10 record centers.

Hi Benjamin,
Yes, you can map one site collection to one record center. Here is the steps you can refer to:
Configure Send to locations for your Records Centers.
Allow for sending outside the site.
Create Content Organizer Rule to send to a record center for your Site Collections.
For more information, you can refer to the blog:

I am unable to reach the my content page of mysites from the name link within my site collection

For some reason I am no longer able to get to the personal mysites page from within our site collection. My name appears at the top right and it has an option for setting which leads to some minimal page but I can no longer use this to get to the actual
mysites page. Is there a setting I am missing that allows this to happen?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to reach the content page of mysites from the name link within site collection.
As this issue is always related to the inadequacy configuration about the MySite, you need to make sure that you had configured correctly with your MySite. You can refer to:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624362(v=office.14)
What’s more, you can also check with the following steps.
Make sure the Web site for MySites in IIS is started.
Make sure the App pool is running
Use ULSVIEWER to check your Sharepoint ULS logs for the issue.
There are two similar articles for your reference.

Alerts do not work on one site collection - Alerts have EventTypeBitmask of -1 - do you think this is the problem

I have a farm with approx 200 site collections in it.
We did recently move sites from one farm to another. All other site collection alerts work, Yet I have one site collection that just does not send alerts.
Things I have done to attempt to get them to work:
1. Turn Alerts off and back on
stsadm -o setproperty -url "sitecollectionurl" -pn Alerts-enabled -pv False
stsadm -o setproperty -url "sitecollectionurl" -pn Alerts-enabled -pv True
2. Update the alerts template
stsadm -o updatealerttemplates -url "sitecollectionurl" -f "c:\program files\path to \AlertTemplates.xml
3. Update all the siteurl properties of all alerts to the correct url
4. update all the mobilurl propties of all alerts to the correct url
5. updated all the Alert.Titles
None of these have worked for me to get the alerts to start working
The only thing I see different is this EventTypeBitMask property.
Does anyone have any other suggestions to get alerts working on this site collection?
Thank you for any help
[email protected]

Hi,
Whether all of the user can’t receive alert email in this site collection.
Check whether the "Immediate Alerts" time job is enabled for your web application.
Try to do restart SharePoint Timer services and IISReset.
Here are two articles about troubleshooting SharePoint alerts not working, you can use as a reference:

Cross Site collections navigation with publishing feature enabled into sharepoint 2010??

Hi,
Is it possible to cross site collection navigation in share point 2010 with publishing feature enabled? Right now we have a site collection with all the departmental sites within it. We are trying to create separate site collection with separate content
database for each department for better management. But problem with Global navigation as OOB does not provide cross site collection navigation functionality, So looking for multiple site collections or navigation for more than one site collection under single
umbrella. i was able to get the cross site collection navigation in my development env without publishing feature enabled using below link. But problem with production environment, as all the site collections and sites are publishing feature enabled. how i
am gonna do cross site navigation with publishing feature enabled?
http://www.itsolutionbraindumps.com/2011/10/sharepoint-2010-cross-site-collection.html
Any link or suggest will be greatly appreciated !

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create cross site collections navigation with publishing feature enabled in SharePoint 2010.
Publishing sites (sites with publishing infrastructure) have their own navigation API, and it is much more complicated task to preserve cross-publishing sites navigation.
We need to implement our own custom navigation provider.
Please refer to the link below about the cross site collections navigation with publishing feature enabled:
