My Tasks View in my custom task list fails to display the tasks assigned to me (that is the currently logged in user)

Hi
I am new to sharepoint 2010.
I created a custom task list, where I have many tasks assigned to users (I had tasks assigned to me as well). I created a view as "My tasks "and having a filter as Assigned To is equal to [Me]. When I do that my view fails to show the
tasks assigned to me. This happens same with the Sharepoints 'My Tasks' view as well. I tested by creating some test tasks under my name and when I selected 'My Tasks' view no tasks are getting displayed.
Please help.
Thanks,
Gokulkumar.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to display the tasks assigned the current logged in user.
In my environment, if I used the System Account, My Task view didn’t display any tasks.
However , if I used other users except the System Account, My Task view could display current user tasks correctly.
I recommend to use other accounts except System Account to log in site. Then everything will work well.
Thank you for your understanding.

GPUpdate /force in Task Sequence as current logged on user

Hi,
I am currently trying to "upgrade" around 800 installations of Microsoft Office Standard 2010 to Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus. To do this, I'll have to:
1: Install Office 2010 ProPlus
2: Uninstall Office 2010 Standard
3: Repair Office 2010 ProPlus
Due to these steps, I've decided to make a task sequence to do the magic.
So far, so good, the "upgrade" is installing, and the MAP toolkit reports are showing the correct results from my test lab.
During the repair of Office 2010 ProPlus, the Office applications cannot
run, so I've created a task to copy a custom group policy to %systemroot%\System32\GroupPolicy to deny the affected users to start the applications.
After applying the group policies, I manually run a gpupdate /force on my test computer. The applications are not starting. Also - so far so good.
Ok, so here is my challenge:
Since the Task Sequence is running in context of the SYSTEM account, the applied group policy will not refresh the GPO's of the current logged on user. Meaning; during the installation / repair of Office 2010, the user can open all the applications regardless
of the applied GPO's, and I'd very much like to avoid that. The TS will fail otherwise. Yes, I know I can perform a restart to apply the policies, but I'd like to avoid that as well.
Any idea how can I solve this?

I think you're making it very complex for yourself. I think that the PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit would be very benificial for a situation like this. For more information have a look here:

Checking to see if current logged in user is delegated by user on a task

Hello all.
I am looking to produce a report that will be run from a users home page (and thus can't take input at run time). It is to show the status of all tasks and appointments.
The tricky bit is that I need it only to show tasks where the currently logged in user is the user who last delegated the task. I can make this work for the "owner" but not "delegated by".
As a fall back position I might be able to get away with it looking to check if the current logged in user is the same as the "created by" user, as activities will only rarely be reassigned on.
Any help appreciated.
Bob.

Current logged-in user in workflow-task

Hi,
I'm working on an approval task where I've got some problems in determining the items an aprovee may approve.
The structure is as followed:
A user requests something that his manager and the manager's manager have to approve sequentially. The manager and the manager's manager should only be able to approve requests of users that have a direct connection to them (regarding business units).
What I am now searching for is a variable oder method to determine the current logged-in user (MSKEY or Unique ID) in the worklow system so that I can create a filter for approvees (SQL statement) to filter out all not direct linked users.
I hope somebody can help me.
Regards,
Andreas Dietrich

Andreas,
Good question. You need to have some sort of "Managed by" Attribute. This attribute does exist in most LDAP directories and HCM packages, however there is NO guarantee that these attribues are populated. The other possible thing to do is setup a relationship as follows:
All members of the Sales Team are in the SALES
The Sales Manager can be identified with a role of SALES MGR
The Sales VP can be identified with the role SALES VP
In the workflow, use an approval task and write a query that would reflect the fact that the SALES MGR can approve requests from SALES
Use the Access control tab and set it up a filter sot that SALES MGR can execute on behlaf of SALES and so on.
Hope this helps,
Matt

When creating a custom SearchPlugin, is it possible to add more code such as uppercase conversion of the SearchText and IF statements that change the URL depending on what is typed?

When creating a custom SearchPlugin, is it possible to add more code such as uppercase conversion of the searchTerms and IF statements that change the URL depending on the searchTerms? Every time I try to add something firefox doesn't want to add it as a search plugin. I need to create a more powerful search tool for personal use.

I've found some external software applications that will do it, so that leads me to believe its not possible within ID CC.

When I click on a yahoo news story, about 30 seconds into reading it, the page changes to one that says the page I requested can't be found, and it has a list of search results.

I just upgraded to firefox 4 this morning. My homepage is yahoo.com. Sometimes when I click a news story, about 30 seconds into reading it, the page changes to a search result page with the heading that the page I requested can't be found. If I click the back button, it goes back to the page I was on. It doesn't happen on every one, and I haven't seen a pattern to which sites it happens on. It also happened when I was trying to make a payment on ebay.

To revert to Google as your preferred search engine, please do the following. 
* In the location bar, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter. 
* In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL''' 
* Double click it and remove whatever's in there (probably Yahoo) and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q= 
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''. 
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage. 
* Click the orange Firefox button and go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''. 
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu. 
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.

Custom Web Template fails, List does not exist

Can somebody help me with this?
After I patched the SharePoint 2013 SP 1 to the April 2014 CU I've been getting this error.
When I apply a custom template I keep getting the error:
"Exception calling ApplyWebTemplate with 1 argument: List does not exist. The page you selected contains a list that does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user."

Firefox window is not shown and not even in the tasks bar, but there is a process running in the task manager

Clicked on the Firefox icon , but window did not appeared, checked in the Task manager, there is a process running with firefox.exe, and could not see any icon in the task bar adjacent to start button

I discovered that when the "Firefox is already running . . . ." message pops up I can fix it by doing the following [note: I get the same message for the Thunderbird e-mail program too] : 1. I open 'TASK MANAGER" and click on the "Processes" tab. 2. Next I scroll down until I see Firefox.exe *32 in the leftmost column (or Thunderbird. exe *32 if the message came up there), highlight that line by clicking on it and then click on the "end process" button on the right side on the bottom. 4. A pop-up window will come up but ignore its message and click on the "end process" button in the pop-up window. The program should then start the next time you click on the icon..
While that saves the need to restart your PC to fix the problem, I have yet to find any information as to the reasons for those two processes to show up in the first place. I'm running the 64 bit Win 7 Professional and do not know if that has something to do with those two processes running from time to time or not. The message comes up often but not all the time and I haven't been able to pinpoint any action on my part where the message comes up if I do '''X '''or the message never comes up when I do '''Y''' before closing Firefox or Thunderbird.

How to map a custom enum list to a custom form property in an extended incident class

Hi,
I'm struggeling to understand how to map a custom enum list to a custom form property in an extended incident class.
Here's what i want to have happen:
I am going to publish a request offering on my SMPortal for allowing users to submit basic IT incidents. I want the form to include "Whom does this problem affect" (answers(This is the custom enum list): Me, Multiple Users, Whole department or Whole
company), "What is the problem about", "Description" and "Attachments".
Here's what i've done:
In the authoring tool i created a MP for the custom enum list and put only the list in it. I sealed the MP and imported it.
I created another unsealed MP called TST.Incident.Library for storing incident library customizations and extended the incident class to add an extension class i called ClassExtension_Affected scope with a custom property i called AffectedScope. Then i am trying
to set the datatype of this property to "list". In the "select a list" dialog i cannot chose my previously sealed MP with the custom enum list in it. Why?
- Do i need to scratch the sealed MP and put the custom enum list in the latter TST.Incident.Library MP instead?
- If so, can i do that and keep this MP unsealed, or will i get an error on import saying "Unsealed management packs should not contain type definitions"
- Should i create one sealed MP for both the custom enum list and the extension class + custom property?

Hi,
Authoring Tool simply isn't informed about your list. Open the sealed management pack where you define the root of the list in the Authoring Tool and in the same time open TST.Incident.Library. You will have two opened MPs in the Authoring
Tool and be able to add a custom list for your custom field.
Cheers,
Marat

Choosing the best processor for the tasks

I am looking into purchasing a new mac pro to use as a server and am trying to select the best processor for task.
I will have at least 20 clients. This will mostly be used as a file server. The team would like to be working on the server with Photoshop and AfterEffects files. What processor is best for this requirement?
3.5GHz 6-core with 12MB of L3 cache [Subtract $3,000.00]
3.0GHz 8-core with 25MB of L3 cache [Subtract $1,500.00]
2.7GHz 12-core with 30MB of L3 cache
What other kind of infrustructure should I invest in?
Please note I will be opting for 64GB of RAM.

The Mac Pro is really a very expensive server. You are probably better suited with a Mac mini Server.
The Pro has two video cards you will never use. The Pro has 5, 7, or 11 cores you will never use unless you are making this an AfterEffects render node. The Pro has very little internal storage and no option for redundant internal storage. The Pro is very expensive and is designed and marketed as a workstation (a powerful one at that). The Pro is a unit that should be used by a user, not operating 24 hours a day and doing nothing for 16 of those hours.
That being the case, a Mac mini with 16 GB of RAM is more than enough for a 20 person department. Invest in a quality ethernet switch and good wiring.

ITues 11 picked up on my entire extensive movie, tv show and music collection flawlessly, but importing a movie into iT11, it shows up in the list view, in get info the assigned artwork shows up, but the movie doesn't show up in the non-list (with artwork

iTunes 11 picked up on my entire extensive movie, tv show and music collection flawlessly, but importing a new movie into iTunes 11, it shows up in the list view, in the get info window the assigned artwork shows up, but the movie doesn't show up in the non-list (with artwork) view.
The media collection is on an external drive. And on my older Snow Leopard machine, the newly imported movie also shows up (with artwork) as it should.
Just not in iTunes 11 non-list )main movie) view.
Any ideas on this?
Cheers!

Wait - I meant to say that on the older machine the newly imported move shows up correctly using Front Row, not in iTunes.
Besides, i just noticed that my my hardware profile is not up to date - I am referring to an iMac running MountainLion 10.8.2

This column cannot enforce unique values because this list or document library may contain items that are not viewable by all users.

The above error occurs when I place unique constraint on a column in a custom list. This error only occurs because the custom list has been configured to only allow creaters to view and edit their own list items.
I just can't see why that should prevent SP from placing a unique value constraint though.
One easy workaround would be to place the unique constraint on the SQL Server table that represents this list. However, in a hosted environment, it is not always possible to gain access to the backend server. What is more, I am uncomfortable with this
approach as it may break other parts of SP 2010.
Is there any other approach?

Hi,
If SharePoint were to enforce uniqueness on a column in a list where users are only allowed to see and edit list items that have created, then you could have a scenario where -
a. user1 tries to add a new item to the list which violates the uniqueness constraint
b. SharePoint reports an error
c. user1 gets to know that there is another item containing the same value in this list
d. this violates the security settings that you configured (each user should be allowed to only see the items that they have created). Now if you change the permissions settings to allow users to SEE all items, but only
edit items that they have created, this error disappears (obviously).
Now getting to the workaround you mentioned (creating a unique constraint on the SQL Server table). This is not going to be possible for numerous reasons -
a. Modifying (or for that matter, even performing SELECT operations on) the SQL Server tables is an unsupported operation and it will definetely break other things in SharePoint, not
to mention that you will lose all support options from Microsoft. However if you don't care about this, then it will still not be technically possible because...
1. SharePoint does not create a new SQL Server table for every list/library.
2. If you did get around to enforcing a unique constraint in the one single table that SharePoint uses for all lists, then you will be enforcing this constraint on each and every list in all the sites and in all the site
collections that are assigned to that content database.
