Recovery of documents deleted from sharepoint online

Hi,
Is there a way to recover a document that is deleted and purged from the secondary/administrator recycle bin? If not, are there options (third party services, maybe?) or solutions to create some kind of recovery plan beyond that stage? What are your approaches
on this?
Thanks,
Sebastian

You will need to open a case with Microsoft via the Office 365 Portal. They will be able to help recover data that is up to 90 days old, I believe. However, from memory, they will not recover specific documents, but entire sites only.

Document Retreival from SharePoint Online with in Folders

In Requirement to retrieve a document from SharePoint Online, using CSOM, I came across a scenario where I need to retrieve a document (Excel, pdf, txt etc) . If the document is the Library level (https://XXX.Sharepoint.com/Sites/Site/DocumentLibrary),
I could successfully retrieve it, but if there are folders at 2 levels (https://XXX.Sharepoint.com/Sites/Site/DocumentLibrary/Folder1/Folder2/excel.xslx), My code
fails in reading the document.
Interesting part is if the file is .docx, its being fetched at any level of Document. I see this issue for formats other than docx
Any help or suggestions would be of great help!!
TIA,

Retriving documents from Sharepoint online by BTS2013 R2

We are trying to retrieve documents from Sharepoint online by BTS2013 R2 but we are receiving the below error:
Error:
The adapter "Windows SharePoint Services" raised an error message. Details "The communication object, System.ServiceModel.Channels.ServiceChannel, cannot be used for
communication because it is in the Faulted state.".
I have crossed checked and user credential is correct. Also the account host instances are running is having access.
We are facing couple of issues and not sure if we missed an steps to configure.
If anyone could help us or point through right documentation it would be of great help.

Hi Rama,
"The communication object, System.ServiceModel.Channels.ServiceChannel, cannot be used for communication because it is in the Faulted state.".”
This is quite unhelpful because it does not give a clue of what is going wrong. You get this error because a .NET exception happens on the server side (SharePoint), and nothing catches and handles it. The solution is to check your settings.
The problem could be with the password of the SharePoint Online Username that is set wrong in the BizTalk adapter.
Refer:
BizTalk integration with SharePoint 2013 Online – Troubleshooting
Also refer:
SharePoint 2013 and Biztalk 2013 (On-Premise)
Alternatively, try re-registering the WCF using the below command:
On x86 environment:
%Windir%Microsoft.NetFrameworkv3.0Windows Communication FoundationServiceModelReg.exe -r
On x64 you can re-register WCF using the command:
%Windir%Microsoft.NetFramework64v3.0Windows Communication FoundationServiceModelReg.exe -r

Cross domain call to Azure ASPX from SharePoint Online Site Collection

We have a ASPX page hosted on Azure that is creating a Zip of documents from a SharePoint Document Library against IDs that we are passing it through query string. Next we are flushing this ZIP as a download response to the client
browser so that user can save it somewhere on his machine. This is working as expected.
Next we are calling this ASPX from our SharePoint Online Site Collection. Sometime it takes time to create the ZIP & return to the client and therefore we want to implement a Progress Image showing something is happening at the server. We
have used window.open() method to call this ASPX and at the same time we are showing up the Progress Image. But due to same origin policy we are not able to track any window specific events in Internet Explorer to close the Progress Image when the response
returns to the client.
Please suggest a suitable workaround for this scenario. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
Jitendra

Hi Jitendra,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to call a aspx page hosted on Azure from SharePoint Online site and implement a progress image to show the progress happening at the server.
In your scenario, if you want to call the aspx page on Azure to create zip and return to the client, the better way is createing a web service and call it in clinet side. You can add the progress status in the custom code and then judge the status to
show correponding progress image.

Count documents in a SharePoint online library using PowerShell

Hi,
I would like to use PowerShell to iterate through a site (and its sites) and count how many documents are in each document library.
Does anyone know if this is possible for SharePoint online please?
Thanks

yes. You can set an ID on counter. I don't have any idea about how to do that from the PowerShell but from SharePoint online it is possible by going in to document library settings and then select default view (All documents). Then go and then select
ID as column and there is an option over there Total. If you select the ID column drop down you will get an option called count select that and click ok. Then go back to your document library and see the count of the documents you have in your doc library.
If you find this information helpful then please propose this as answer and vote. Thanks.

Migrating from SharePoint Online to an In House SharePoint Environment

What will be the method for clients to migrate from SharePoint Online to an In House SharePoint environment if the need arises in the future. I have had clients ask me this and I do not yet have a good answer.

Hi Michael,
Right now, to migrate off of SharePoint Online, it is a manual process. You would need to copy the documents, lists, etc. all manually (suggest creating list templates that contain the data). Third party tools like those offered by Quest, Metalogix, and Casahl also work in this scenario.
However, we realize this is not ideal. We have heard several requests in this area and are now exploring options to provide an automated way to get your data off of SharePoint Online.

Documents stored in SharePoint Online are slow to open if moved out of SP Online

My organization has had several instances where an employee will receive a document from a co-worker and then store it in one of their SharePoint online sites. The employee then moves the document to another location not on SharePoint online.
From that point on the document is incredibly slow to open, often taking 30 seconds or more. In addition if a user who doesn't have access to our SharePoint online environment receives the document via email and opens it a Office 365 logon prompt is
thrown up during the time the document is attempting to load. It seems that once a document is stored in SharePoint online it will attempt to check in to the site it was stored in in some fashion when it is launched. Any ideas as to if this behavior
can be changed so documents which are removed from SharePoint online continue to open quickly?
Thanks,
Matt

ADFS SSO and SharePoint 2013 on-premise Hybrid outbound search results from SharePoint Online - does it work?

Hi,
I want to setup an outpund hybrid search for SharePoint 2013 on-premise to SharePoint Online.
But I'm not shure if this works with ADFS SSO.
Has somebody experience with this setup?
Here's my guide which I'm going to use for this installation:
Introduction
In this post I'll show you how to get search results from your SharePoint Online in your SharePoint 2013 on-premise search center.
Requirements
User synchronisation ActiveDirectory to Office 365 with DirSync
DirSync password sync or ADFS SSO
SharePoint Online
SharePoint 2013 on-premise
Enterprise Search service
SharePoint Online Management Shell
Instructions
All configuration will be done either in the Search Administration of the Central Administration or in the PowerShell console of your on-premise SharePoint 2013 server.
Set up Sever to Server Trust
Export certificates
To create a server to server trust we need two certificates.
[certificate name].pfx: In order to replace the STS certificate, the certificate is needed in Personal Information Exchange (PFX) format including the private key.
[certificate name].cer: In order to set up a trust with Office 365 and Windows Azure ACS, the certificate is needed in CER Base64 format.
First launch the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
Select your SharePoint web server and double-click Server Certificates
In the Actions pane, click Create Self-Signed Certificate
Enter a name for the certificate and save it with OK
To export the new certificate in the Pfx format select it and click Export in the Actions pane
Fill the fields and click OK Export to: C:\[certificate
name].pfx Password: [password]
Also we need to export the certificate in the CER Base64 format. For that purpose make a right-click on the certificate select it and click on View...
Click the Details tab and then click Copy to File
On the Welcome to the Certificate Export Wizard page, click Next
On the Export Private Key page, click Next
On the Export File Format page, click Base-64 encoded X.509 (.CER), and then click Next.
As file name enter C:\[certificate
name].cer and then click Next
Finish the export
Import the new STS (SharePoint Token Service) certificate
Let's update the certificate on the STS. Configure and run the PowerShell script below on your SharePoint server.
if(-not (Get-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)){Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"}
# set the cerficates paths and password
$PfxCertPath = "c:\[certificate name].pfx"
$PfxCertPassword = "[password]"
$X64CertPath = "c:\[certificate name].cer"
# get the encrypted pfx certificate object
$PfxCert = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2 $PfxCertPath, $PfxCertPassword, 20
# import it
Set-SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig -ImportSigningCertificate $PfxCert
Type Yes when prompted with the following message.
You are about to change the signing certificate for the Security Token Service. Changing the certificate to an invalid, inaccessible or non-existent certificate will cause your SharePoint installation to stop functioning. Refer
to the following article for instructions on how to change this certificate: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=178475. Are you
sure, you want to continue?
Restart IIS so STS picks up the new certificate.
& iisreset
& net stop SPTimerV4
& net start SPTimerV4
Now validate the certificate replacement by running several PowerShell commands and compare their outputs.
# set the cerficates paths and password
$PfxCertPath = "c:\[certificate name].pfx"
$PfxCertPassword = "[password]"
# get the encrypted pfx certificate object
New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2 $PfxCertPath, $PfxCertPassword, 20
# compare the output above with this output
(Get-SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig).LocalLoginProvider.SigningCertificate
[/code]
## Establish the server to server trust
[code lang="ps"]
if(-not (Get-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)){Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"}
Import-Module MSOnline
Import-Module MSOnlineExtended
# set the cerficates paths and password
$PfxCertPath = "c:\[certificate name].pfx"
$PfxCertPassword = "[password]"
$X64CertPath = "c:\[certificate name].cer"
# set the onpremise domain that you added to Office 365
$SPCN = "sharepoint.domain.com"
# your onpremise SharePoint site url
$SPSite="http://sharepoint"
# don't change this value
$SPOAppID="00000003-0000-0ff1-ce00-000000000000"
# get the encrypted pfx certificate object
$PfxCert = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2 $PfxCertPath, $PfxCertPassword, 20
# get the raw data
$PfxCertBin = $PfxCert.GetRawCertData()
# create a new certificate object
$X64Cert = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2
# import the base 64 encoded certificate
$X64Cert.Import($X64CertPath)
# get the raw data
$X64CertBin = $X64Cert.GetRawCertData()
# save base 64 string in variable
$CredValue = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String($X64CertBin)
# connect to office 3656
Connect-MsolService
# register the on-premise STS as service principal in Office 365
# add a new service principal
New-MsolServicePrincipalCredential -AppPrincipalId $SPOAppID -Type asymmetric -Usage Verify -Value $CredValue
$MsolServicePrincipal = Get-MsolServicePrincipal -AppPrincipalId $SPOAppID
$SPServicePrincipalNames = $MsolServicePrincipal.ServicePrincipalNames
$SPServicePrincipalNames.Add("$SPOAppID/$SPCN")
Set-MsolServicePrincipal -AppPrincipalId $SPOAppID -ServicePrincipalNames $SPServicePrincipalNames
# get the online name identifier
$MsolCompanyInformationID = (Get-MsolCompanyInformation).ObjectID
$MsolServicePrincipalID = (Get-MsolServicePrincipal -ServicePrincipalName $SPOAppID).ObjectID
$MsolNameIdentifier = "$MsolServicePrincipalID@$MsolCompanyInformationID"
# establish the trust from on-premise with ACS (Azure Control Service)
# add a new authenticatio realm
$SPSite = Get-SPSite $SPSite
$SPAppPrincipal = Register-SPAppPrincipal -site $SPSite.rootweb -nameIdentifier $MsolNameIdentifier -displayName "SharePoint Online"
Set-SPAuthenticationRealm -realm $MsolServicePrincipalID
# register the ACS application proxy and token issuer
New-SPAzureAccessControlServiceApplicationProxy -Name "ACS" -MetadataServiceEndpointUri "https://accounts.accesscontrol.windows.net/metadata/json/1/" -DefaultProxyGroup
New-SPTrustedSecurityTokenIssuer -MetadataEndpoint "https://accounts.accesscontrol.windows.net/metadata/json/1/" -IsTrustBroker -Name "ACS"
Add a new result source
To get search results from SharePoint Online we have to add a new result source. Run the following script in a PowerShell ISE session on your SharePoint 2013 on-premise server. Don't forget to update the settings region
if(-not (Get-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)){Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"}
# region settings
$RemoteSharePointUrl = "http://[example].sharepoint.com"
$ResultSourceName = "SharePoint Online"
$QueryTransform = "{searchTerms}"
$Provier = "SharePoint-Remoteanbieter"
# region settings end
$SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication
$FederationManager = New-Object Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.Query.FederationManager($SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication)
$SPEnterpriseSearchOwner = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchOwner -Level Ssa
$ResultSource = $FederationManager.GetSourceByName($ResultSourceName, $SPEnterpriseSearchOwner)
if(!$ResultSource){
Write-Host "Result source does not exist. Creating..."
$ResultSource = $FederationManager.CreateSource($SPEnterpriseSearchOwner)
$ResultSource.Name = $ResultSourceName
$ResultSource.ProviderId = $FederationManager.ListProviders()[$Provier].Id
$ResultSource.ConnectionUrlTemplate = $RemoteSharePointUrl
$ResultSource.CreateQueryTransform($QueryTransform)
$ResultSource.Commit()
Add a new query rule
In the Search Administration click on Query Rules
Select Local SharePoint as Result Source
Click New Query Rule
Enter a Rule name f.g. Search results from SharePoint Online
Expand the Context section
Under Query is performed on these sources click on Add Source
Select your SharePoint Online result source
In the Query Conditions section click on Remove Condition
In the Actions section click on Add Result Block
As title enter Results for "{subjectTerms}" from SharePoint Online
In the Search this Source dropdown select your SharePoint Online result source
Select 3 in the Items dropdown
Expand the Settings section and select "More" link goes to the following URL
In the box below enter this Url https://[example].sharepoint.com/search/pages/results.aspx?k={subjectTerms}
Select This block is always shown above core results and click the OK button
Save the new query rule

Hi Janik,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display hybrid search results in SharePoint Server 2013.
For achieving your demand, please have a look at the article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn197173(v=office.15).aspx
If you are using single sign-on (SSO) authentication, it is important to test hybrid Search functionality by using federated user accounts. Native Office 365 user accounts and Active Directory Domain Services
(AD DS) accounts that are not federated are not recognized by both directory services. Therefore, they cannot authenticate using SSO, and cannot be granted permissions to resources in both deployments. For more information, see Accounts
needed for hybrid configuration and testing.

Hi Badri,
1.You could not restore site deleted from SharePoint designer in site collection, you can only restore the site deleted from
UI in site collection recycle bin, deleted from end user recycle bin.
2.You can export the site from production server, then import it to test server.

Creating a folder for a document library in SharePoint online

Hello I am looking for a good place to get started on creating a folder for a document library using a powershell script. Thanks in advance for any help.

Here is a guide to creating folders and items in a document library for SharePoint Server/Foundation: Creating SharePoint Folders
and Items with PowerShell. You will need to tailor it to your needs as it's a demo for creating 50,000 items.
That's step 1 and contains the bulk of what you would need to do. Here's an example of connecting to a library in SharePoint Online using CSOM: Office
365 - PowerShell Script to Upload Files to a Document Library using CSOM. You won't be uploading files, but the parts where you connect and get a list are what you're interested in.
Now you'll combine bits from both of these scripts:
1. Connect to SPO
2. Get your list (looks like you need to first get the site collection and then the site)
3. Create a folder
I figure it would look something like this (note I haven't tested this at all):
#Specify tenant admin and site URL
$User = "[email protected]"
$SiteURL = "https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/site"
$DocLibName = "DocLib"$FolderTitle = "Example Folder"
#Add references to SharePoint client assemblies and authenticate to Office 365 site - required for CSOM
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll"
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll"
$Password = Read-Host -Prompt "Please enter your password" -AsSecureString
#Bind to site collection
$Context = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($SiteURL)
$Creds = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($User,$Password)
$Context.Credentials = $Creds
#Retrieve list
$List = $Context.Web.Lists.GetByTitle($DocLibName)
$folder = $list.AddItem("", [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFileSystemObjectType]::Folder)
$folder["Title"] = $FolderTitle
$folder.Update();
