PWA issues after Office 2010 SP2 upgrade

We recently upgraded some client machines that have Project 2010 Professional installed to Project SP2.  Several of these users also use PWA. 
After the upgrade, I heard from a few of these users that in PWA, the Workflow Approval buttons were unavailable, and that they were unable to export to Excel.  I checked with another user who uses the same Project Server and did
not receive the update, and he had the same issue.
I did find kb2817580 that describes these exact issues, but the timing is suspicious with the client SP2 upgrade.  Is there something in the Project 2010 SP2 update that would cause this problem on Project Server, or does Server need to be upgraded
concurrently with the client update?  I was not under the impression that the local Project update would affect Project Server.  Is that incorrect?

Cwoodin, in my experience, the client doesn't make any modifications at the server.
About the updates, i would recommend you to apply SP2 at the server as well. Besides that, take a look at the ULS logs to see if it spits any errors.

  • Issues after sharepoint 2010 sp2 upgrade

    Hi,
    I am using Lookupset in SSRS report to connect multiple datasets.
    =Join(Lookupset(Fields!ows_SNO.Value,Fields!Serial_No.Value,Fields!Name.Value, "Dateset1"))
    I have renamed the Title column as serial_No.
    When i am opening the report, "Name" is not populated in the report.
    Dataset Query:
    <ViewFields>
        <FieldRef Name="Title" />
        <FieldRef Name="Name" />
    </ViewFields>
    Thank you.

    Hi Selvarasu,
    Is the Serial_No field is included in the DataSet1?
    If not, then you need to change DataSet1 to the dataset where the Serial_No exists.
    And for the DataSet query, it is like the format below:
    <RSSharePointList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
      <ListName>Test2</ListName>
      <ViewFields>
        <FieldRef Name="Title" />
        <FieldRef Name="code" />
        <FieldRef Name="ID" />
      </ViewFields>
    </RSSharePointList>
    If above cannot work, could you please provide more details and screenshots about the datasets?
    Best regards.
    Thanks

  • Browser based InfoPath Forms in SharePoint 2010 performance has slowed down after SharePoint 2010 SP2

    hi All,
    Our Browser based Infopath forms have slowed down drastically after applying SharePoint 2010 SP2. Prior to this, we had SharePoint 2010 SP1 and the timings was around 10 seconds (single user) for the entire infopath form to be displayed which has 10-12
    views and 5 data connections and 15 business rules and around 100 fields.
    But now after applying sharepoint 2010 sp2, the performance has slowed down and it now takes for a single user around 50 seconds.
    Refer to the link below, which we followed by applying the patch as well, but the performance is still the same very slow.
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/0b673324-01c4-49f7-86cb-647aa43fefd6/infopath-browser-forms-extremely-slow-after-service-pack-2-upgrade?forum=sharepointadminprevious
    We have raised a ticket with Microsoft, but there is no concrete resolution as to what component of the infopath has made the form rendering and display slow.
    Can someone point me to the right resource or knowledge base where i can do a kind of debug, which tells me exactly which infopath dlls are the issue or which part of my form is taking more time. I am using AOLPageTest and Fiddler, but they do not give me
    any details where exactly is the bottleneck.
    Any tools that give me the details of the bottleneck.
    Thanks and appreciate your help in this.
    Regards
    Ram
    Thanks Ram

    hi inderjeet,
    The application has gone live and its on production, the same application is on pre-prod and UAT, system testing and integration environments.
    The infopath form used to work very well on all these environments before we installed sharepoint 2010 sp2. but the moment we installed sharepoint 2010 sp2, the infopath forms have slowed down.
    Microsoft has acknowledged that there is an issued with sharepoint 2010 sp2 and infopath form performance, but they are not able to provide an appropriate fix on this.
    We have another environment where there is no sharepoint 2010 sp2 applied only sp1 is applied and the infopath form works very well within fraction of seconds.
    So your point no. 1 and 2 and 3. does not reveal anything. Fiddler does not give any detailed component by component breakup where the time is taking more.
    The form used to work very well before we applied sp2.
    I want to know a tool that gives me exactly component by component grant chart kind of breakup of time taken when the infopath url is requested on the browser.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Boot your system in clean boot mode and disable antivirus. Then try to run Windows Updates.
    Step 1: Try following the KB article to perform Clean Boot.
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
    Note: After you used the clean boot to resolve your problem, reset the computer to start as usual.
    Step 2: Disable Antivirus software
    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other software, you
    should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  • Office 2010 SP2 deploy several systems

    We are deploying Office 2010 Standard thru Group Policy. SP2 i downloaded later so there are a dozen systems already installed office without the SP2. The meaning is to also install the SP2 Office to the machines which have gotton Office 2010 without SP2.
    The quistion i have is: how do i deploy SP2 Office update thru GPO to several machines which already got the Office 2010 Standard installed. How to install Updates office thru GPO? This is not a setup file but all MSP files in the SP2?
    I have already seen that one can do it by script but how?
    freddie

    Hi,
    Your require could be done via script. I think you need to add some if-else sentences in the script. We could use version number to determine which machines need to install SP2.
    The version number of Office 2010 SP2 is greater than or equal to 14.0.7015.1000.
    The version number of Office 2010 SP1 is greater than or equal to 14.0.6029.1000 but less than
    14.0.7015.1000.
    The version number of the original RTM release of Office 2010 (that is, with no service pack) is greater than or equal to
    14.0.4763.1000 but less than 14.0.6029.1000.

    Since installing Office 2010 SP2 on a number of machines the option to move more than one item to OneNote appears to have been removed.  If you select one item you can move to OneNote, select two and the button is greyed out.  Is there any way
    to restore this functionality.

  • Acrobat XI Pro "Out of Memory" error after Office 2010 install

    Good Afternoon,
    We recently pushed Office 2010 to our users and are now getting reports of previous installs of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro no longer working but throwing "Out of Memory" errors.
    We are in a Windows XP environment. All machines are HP 8440p/6930p/6910 with the same Service pack level (3) and all up to date on security patches.
    All machines are running Office 2010 SP1.
    All machines have 2GB or 4GB of RAM (Only 3.25GB recognized as we are a 32bit OS environment).
    All machines have adequate free space (ranging from 50gb to 200gb of free space).
    All machines are set to 4096mb initial page file size with 8192mb maximum page file size.
    All machines with Acrobat XI Pro *DO NOT* have Reader XI installed alongside. If Reader is installed, it is Reader 10.1 or higher.
    The following troubleshooting steps have been taken:
    Verify page file size (4096mb - 8192mb).
    Deleted local user and Windows temp files (%temp% and c:\WINDOWS\Temp both emptied).
    Repair on Adobe Acrobat XI Pro install. No change.
    Uninstall Acrobat Pro XI, reboot, re-install. No change.
    Uninstall Acrobat Pro XI Pro along with *ALL* other Adobe applications presently installed (Flash Player, Air), delete all Adobe folders and files found in a full search of the C drive, delete all orphaned Registry entries for all Adobe products, re-empty all temp folders, reboot.
    Re-install Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. No change.
    Disable enhanced security in Acrobat XI Pro. No change.
    Renamed Acrobat XI's plug_ins folder to plug_ins.old.
    You *can* get Acrobat to open once this is done but when you attempt to edit a file or enter data into a form, you get the message, "The "Updater" plug-in has been removed. Please re-install Acrobat to continue viewing the current file."
    A repair on the Office 2010 install and re-installing Office 2010 also had no effect.
    At this point, short of re-imaging the machines (which is *not* an option), we are stumped.
    We have not yet tried rolling back a user to Office 2007 as the upgrade initiative is enterprise-wide and rolling back would not be considered a solution.
    Anyone have any ideas beyond what has been tried so far?

    As mentioned, the TEMP folder is typically the problem. MS limits the size of this folder and you have 2 choices: 1. empty it or 2. increase the size limit. I am not positive this is the issue, but it does crop up at times. It does not matter how big your harddrive is, it is a matter of the amount of space that MS has allocated for virtual memory. I am surprised that there is an issue with 64GB of RAM, but MS is real good at letting you know you can't have it all for use because you might want to open up something else. That is why a lot of big packages turn off some of the limits of Windows or use Linux.

  • Issues with Office 2010 and Acrobat Pro 8

    Good Day All;
    We are in the middle of upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7 with Office 2010 and I was wondering if there are any issues with importing Office documents into Acrobat Pro 8. I have found out that there are a couple of issue with Office 201 and LifeCycle Designer.
    Any comments would be helpful
    Regards
    Chomp

    Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Microsoft Office 2010 and the PDFMaker plugins will not install. Only Acrobat X is compatible with Office 2010, and at this time only in 32-bit mode.
    Acrobat 8 is also not officially compatible with Windows 7, again Acrobat X is the first version to carry approval for that OS. It will still install, but Adobe cannot guarantee it will operate perfectly in all cases, and doesn't provide install support for that combination.

  • AutoDiscover not working after Exchange 2010 SP2 - SP3 update.

    Hi Everyone, 
    I'm sorry if this is a really simple thing, but i've played around for hours and exhausted google.
    I run a 2010 exchange server for everyone at the office, and today I updated from 2010 SP2 to SP3.
    The problem I have is auto discover no longer accepts anyones username or password. If you set the account up on the client machine by manually entering the details everything works great.
    All the DNS records are correct and have been working for 2+ years. I have recreated the Autodiscovery virtual directory in EMC.
    If i manually browse to mydomain/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml, when asked for a username and password it says it incorrect. I can then log in to OWA with the same credentials and it works. 
    Thanks,
    Garrett

    Hi,
    Based on my knowledge, the above issue is caused by the loopback check being enabled. Please follow the steps below to disable loopback on the CAS servers:
    1. Run regedit, in Registry Editor, locate and then click the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
    2. Right-click Lsa, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
    3. Type DisableLoopbackCheck, and then press ENTER.
    4. Right-click DisableLoopbackCheck, and then click Modify.
    5. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
    6. Quit Registry Editor, and then restart your computer.

  • LiveCycle designer 8.2 issues with Office 2010

    Good Day All;
    We are in the middle of upgrading from Windows XP / Office 2003 to Windows 7 (32bit) / Office 2010 and I was wondering if there are any issues with Livecycle designed and Office 2010.
    I have been that Adobe Acrobat 8.2 does not support Office 2010. I ran into that with trying to install PDF maker.
    Any comments will be helpful.
    Regards
    Chomp

    We recently upgraded to Win 7 and to Acrobat 9 (didn't upgrade Office so cannot comment on that). The only issue I have found (and I can only assume it was
    due to the OS upgrade or the Acrobat upgrade (or both)) is that I lost use of my Preview tab. In order to be able to preview a form now in LiveCycle, I must first open an instance of Acrobat, otherwise I don't even get a Preview tab. Also, the preview doesn't show up in the Preview tab...it actually opens in Acrobat.
    Weird, but I'm getting used to it.

    I have activated the software offlline via the telephone.  After about six months the licenses go inactive and requires me to reactivate the product again.  This has happened serveral times. 
    The network consisting of three servers: One Domain Controller, two member servers one of which has Exchange 2010 and the other is the endpoint management secrutiy server.  There are 17 clients with windows 7.  The network does
    not connect to the web.
    I have been on the phone with support but the level of the help desk has not been very informative.  In the 90 minutes that I was on the phone, I was directed to go to various websites, i.e. volume licensing ...  these sites were not
    helpful. Toward the end of the phone support I was finally transferred to a U.S. representative.  This individual stated that I would need to have a support contract in place prior to recieving help for a product that should install and be activated without
    an issue.
    I do not have a KMS, I'm completely isolated from the Internet and would like some direction on this matter.

    Hi, this is a public/community forum, not an official support channel, but we can try to help you.
    VL editions of Office can be activated by either KMS product key (the default pre-embedded key) or by MAK product key.
    KMS doesn't require any kind of web connection at any time (you could activate your KMS host by telephone activation. Your KMS clients then contact your KMShost only, via your internal network. No internet connection is needed)
    Or, you can use MAK. MAK requires you to "install" your CSVLK product key in each computer (overwriting the pre-embedded KMSclient pkey) and then activate each computer. You can activate MAK installations via internet or telephone.
    Typically, once an MAK pkey is activated, it remains activated, unless the computer is subjected to "hardware changes" or some form of data restore or recovery.
    Although you don't have KMS implemented, you do seem to have enough computers (the minimum is 5) to consider KMS.
    6 months is an interesting milestone. 180 days is exactly the timeframe for a KMSclient to become unlicensed if it been unable to contact a KMShost.
    Perhaps you could check the current licensing configuration/status on a couple of computers, to confirm their current situation?
    - on a computer, open an elevated (run as admin) CMD console
    - execute: cd \Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14
    (or on a 32bit OS, execute: cd \Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14
    - execute: cscript ospp.vbs /dstatusall > c:\osppOUT.txt
    This will produce the text file, showing all *possible* Office licenses, and the currently installed one should show as "Licensed".
    You can post the results back here for us to review for you. (there is only a partial pkey displayed, so nothing sensitive will be revealed)
