Set multiple Secondary Owners into a site collection

Hi;
I try to set multiple Secondary Owners into a site collection but I have execute my script I have only the last Owner (tutu) ?
My code is :
$AdminSecondaireArray = ("DC\toto", "DC\titi", "DC\tata", "DC\tutu")
foreach ($adminsec in $AdminSecondaireArray)
Set-SPSite -Identity $SiteCollectionUrl -SecondaryOwnerAlias $adminsec
Any idea ?
Regards

Hi,
As a workaround, we can add multiple user into a group, then set the group as secondary owner of a Site Collection.
Set-SPSite -Identity $SiteCollectionUrl -SecondaryOwnerAlias "DC\group"

How to set Document Library Item Limit at Site Collection level?

Hi,
I have SharePoint which contains one Site collection with many Sites. Each sites has many document library.
Actually my requirement is, End Users wants to see only 10 items per page in document library. We can manually set by using "Item Limit" option but i could not set that for around 150 document libraries.
Is there any possible to set that in Site Collection level?
Thanks & Regards

You can run for each loop and use below code
http://get-spscripts.com/
#Get the site and list
$web = Get-SPWeb "http://portal/sites/testsite"
$list = $web.GetList(($web.ServerRelativeUrl.TrimEnd("/") + "/Shared Documents"))
#Get the list view to be changed
$newview = $list.Views["Sort by modified date"]
#Set the mobile and default mobile view properties
$newview.MobileView = $true
$newview.MobileDefaultView = $true
#Update the view configuration
$newview.Update()
$web.Dispose()
$web.Lists[0].Views[0].RowLimit=30
$web.Lists[0].Views[0].Update()
How you can get all list using powershell

Can we set List View Lookup Threshold at site collection level ?

Hello,
Presently, we have requirement to set the List View Lookup Threshold at Site Collection/Sub-Site level instead of web application level.
Could you please let me know, are there any ways to set
List View Lookup Threshold setting at Site Collection/Sub-Site level
in SharePoint 2010 using Powershell/Object Model
Also, it would be helpful if you colud let me know, upto what extent , we can drill down List View Lookup Threshold setting i.e. SubSite/List/Library-Folder.
Thanks in advance !

Hi Sagar,
We cannot set list view threshold value at sitecollection/subsite level. It can only be set at web application level.
However we can bypass the 5000 limit using PowerShell command by setting “Enable Throttling”= false for particular list.

SP2013: Can a subsite owner block the site collection owner?

I read some discussion telling me Sharepoint allow subsite owner can block parent site owner. But in my test, the Site Collection owner ALWAYS have FULL PERMISSION on subsite. Is it true?
I have tested in my farm. I login as one Site collection owner (A), create a subsite, then break the subsite permission inheritance. Assign someone (B) as subsite owner. Then I login as the subsite owner (B). Remove everyone but me (B) in the subsite
permission lists.
However, the SC owner (A) can still change the permission for this subsite. I use "check permission" to check against A. A have every permission although he is not belong to any permission group or permission level. Is it default behaviour?

It is true, you can't block or reduce the permissions assigned to the site collection owner.

Best Way to Sync Lists Across Multiple Site Collections?

A quick query I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with...
Within our university intranet I am assigning each department a team site within its own Site Collection. So that departments can associate Document Library files with a set list of academic courses, I created a custom dropdown field and deployed it as a Feature. While this worked within SharePoint, when you attempted to set the document properties within the Microsoft Word environment the custom fields were rendered as empty text boxes (meaning that staff are no longer restricted in when information they can enter).
To get around this I'm considering going back-to-basics and creating a Custom List, populating it with the titles of our academic courses, and then assigning it to a Document Library via a Lookup Field. I know that Microsoft Word will then correctly display the metadata dropdown.
As I am using multiple Site Collections, I'm unsure of the "best" way to proceed.
I've already written a Console Application which can create a Custom List within a targetted site and populate it with the contents of an XML file - but I would need to run this every time I created a new Site Collection and what would I do when I wanted to update the contents of all the lists?
Other than modifying my Console Application to loop through all instances of the Custom List within Site Collections and sync it to the contents of the XML file, is there another (better) option that I am over-looking?
Its such a shame I can't create cross-collection Lookup Fields within all of the Site Collections that point to a single top-level list.
Many thanks.

My instinctive questions drifts towards why you have different site collections. If all the sites were sub sites within the same site collection, a global field would solve the issue quite nicely.
If you have legitimate reasons for keeping the sites seperated into separate site collections, I would look at using an Event Handler to trigger updates to reference values in each site collection, be they global fields or lists. Then if you wish to update the values, you only need to update the trigger list to propagate the updates across your site sollections to all your sites in question.
I trust that answers your question...
Thanks

How to change PowerPoint Template across multiple site collections

I am failry new to SharePoint, and my organization has asked me to research how to change a PowerPoint template that is stored on multiple site collections. There are current PowerPoints based on the template and they wanted to be sure those wouldn't be
affected, as well. They want a "quick and easy" way to update the template that the divisions in the company use without manually going into each site collection. A co-worker said she hopes to "replace the current...template at the site
collection and it will modify the available content type when selecting new document."
Any help on how to handle this would be appreciated.

This will really depend how the template has been packaged. If it's a content type, than editing this and making sure that the "update content type" radio is selected will do the trick. Can you ask someone who's made one to show you how they generate
the template. If it's within the New --> XXX Document, than you're in luck
If they're just deployed as normal files within a library, you'll have a much harder time.

Calendar Overlay Across Multiple Site Collections

I have searched the forums and have not found a solution to this question.
We are having trouble creating calendar overlays across site collections.
Specifics:
1. This is a single farm SharePoint 2013 installation. Version: 15.0.4481.1005
2. We have a single web application http://sharepointweb on port 80
3. We are using host-named site collections
4. We have separated the different departments into separate site collections because we want to take advantage of separate content databases.
When we create calendar overlays between calendar lists within a single site collection...it works fine. When we try to create calendar overlays between site collections (again, within a single web app) it fails with the message "Unable
to find specified web in the given URL".
Some more details:
## query of host headers for HNSCs
Get-SPManagedPath -HostHeader

sites WildcardInclusion
departments WildcardInclusion

Hi Roo,
i tried some steps, i agree with you that seems calendar overlay cant do good across web application,
from http://y:1234/ and http://y:4563/. seems there are limitation here.
when i extend my web app, usually i create new web app as internal/external/public, then i guess issue is happened.
so, anyway, i got a bit curious if your environment also came out with the same result:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2025977
at the kb, it was stated, that it may not able to find another site other than the default web app.
but, while i tried in the same web app, the issue not there.
so i tried to create new site collection, with lots of subsites, http://y:1234/. then have http://y.1234/sites/123 and http://y.1234/sites/456, for example, i add new calendar and create overlay, seems it can resolve each one and another.
perhaps you can check this article:

Using SPSiteDataQuery for multiple Site Collections

Hi All,
I would like to query five contact lists on multiple site collections. I can query the lists using SPSiteDataQuery if they are within the same site collection, but I can not query the lists over multiple site collections.
Is there a method like SPSiteDataQuery that I can use to query lists over multiple Site Collections?
Many Thanks,
Colin

Hi,
As you have mentioned that: SPSiteDataQuery which can query multiple webs within the same site collection, but not across multiple site collections. You can't accomplish that easily.
The solution evolves from first using the SPSiteDataQuery class to run a query upon each site collection and then aggregating the results.
For detailed information, refer to the following article:
https://oidatsmyleg.wordpress.com/2009/08/13/cross-site-collection-query-almost/
Besides, here is a similar requirement post, you can take a look at:

Managed Metadata appearing in wrong columns after Restoring a site to a new Site Collection

I've restored a site with some libraries that have Managed Metadata (MM) columns from one site collection into another site collection inside the same web app so it should all subscribe to the same Managed Metadata
Service Application.
There are two MM columns in one library, one holds a single value which is what type of document it is, the other is a general tag field that allows the user to add multiple MM values to it if they want.
What we've found is that data has randomly disappeared on some MM fields, on others it appears in the wrong column, and in other cases it appears fine.
I used native out of the box GUI backup and restored with the command line,
I've done it twice with the same result, so it’s not a one off corruption during backup. It's the same story in a different doc library based on different term sets as well.
Of all the things to not work properly, MM was probably last on my list to expect, it's knocked my confidence in it a bit, as well as worried me about future upgrades.
If anyone has any ideas over what may be the cause of this, it would be appreciated, I've read lots of blogs, but nothing quite like this has cropped up.
Thanks,
Jon

Most of the ISV offerings will allow you to 'Migrate' content from one SP location to another. I'm pretty sure AvePoint and a few others have tools specifically developed for shifting bits and pieces around SharePoint farms.
It is a limitation but the ISV tools tend to do a good job and maintain nearly full consistency.
There's scripts around that can do much/most of the migration and you could always extend them to do the same things as the ISV migration tools however the cost to do so can quickly get to the same ballpark as buying an already made tool.
Paul is also in the London office, we often work together when projects requiring his brains and my beauty crop up.

Multiple content databases and Project Sites

Hi,
I am in the process of migrating our Project 2007 PWA + Project Workspaces data to Project 2010. Our PWA site and the Project Workspaces are in a single content DB (2007) and I am trying to work out what I should do when I migrate it. Our content
DB is about 150GB which I believe is around the maximum that it should be.
I am unsure about a couple of things.
1. In SharePoint, you can assign multiple content DBs to a single web application, but each Site Collection will only live in a single content DB. Given that all of the Project Sites are actually just sub-sites of a single Site Collection I cannot see
a way to ever split them up into multiple content DBs. Am I missing something?
2. There is another post in this forum talking about whether to split PWA and Project Sites into different content DBs (and therefore Site Collections) with Project 2010 or not. Even though I have read it I am still unclear as to whether or not I should
do this and what the actual pros and cons are.
Thanks in advance for the replies.
Cheers,
David

All,
The requester wants more than 1 Site Collection for Project Sites and he wants more than 1 content database for each site collection. Neither of which apparently SharePoint can do. However,
for large numbers of Projects and associated Project Sites this will almost certainly be a necessity.
The Suggestion was that the PWA site collection and Project Sites site collection could be different and hence on different databases (even web apps). Fine. But not helpful, really, since that
only gets us to two site collections. One very small and one that will potentially grow very large, too large.
What appears to also have been suggested was to create a separate site collection for very large project sites.
While this approach could work, it is administration intense and is bound to have issues related to PWA navigation, etc...and certainly not part of the Project Server 2010 PWA automatic Site
Creation methodology. It also is after the fact and not really scalable. it would be possibe, but tricky to do this after the fact - moving it from one site collection to another - and then reset the URL in PWA Server Settings,
could be done.
I would suggest something similar, but a bit more pragmatic...Thanks Bruce!
Create 1 new Site Collection for Project Sites (same web app) in a new content DB - use script.
Setup PWA to provision all new Project Sites to that new site collection. Maintains automatic site provisioning.
Monitor
the size of the DB, when it reaches a reasonable limit (? 50GB ?) - repeat this process, create another site collection in a new DB - but
change the PWA provisioning settings to have all new sites go to the new (next) site collection. Existing sites will still be found (keep the site collections in the same web app for continuity) and can have content added (I guess up
to a point - monitor). Repeat as needed.
Another way I can conceive of is to create a fixed set of a small number of site collections (in the same web app) and manage the Project Site creation manually selecting which
project site goes against which site collection. Division along some logical boundary such as Departments makes sense. But other divisions may be used. This could scale by simply adding more site collections at each department (HR-2), should any given department's
DB grow too big. Then all the logically related Project Sites will hang off the site collection selected and be part of that database for that site collection for that "department" let's say.
just a variation of the above solution. Monitoring the DB size is key in both cases.
There may of course be caveats to any approach other than OOTB and all in 1 site collection, around navigation, web parts, solution starters, etc...some of which are addressed elsewhere. Of
course, this is admin intensive but retains automatic provisioning for new sites. I believe it would work and meet the requirements for smaller DB's and multiple Site collections for PWA Project Sites and scale to thousands of project sites.
Thanks,
Eric S.

Document ID moving across the site collection

Thanks for reading, let me explain my scenario before my question
1. we have huge site collection with full of documents
2. want to enable document id feature to track of documents
3. we want to run the process to archive docs which are older than 6 months into different site collection.
4. after 2 years, we will have 4 archived site collections, documents are spread across the various site collection
Does document id move across the site collections, still users can get old document using initially assigned document id after archive into different site collection?
I read some documentation on document iD that it is targeted for Site Collection level.
S.Venkata Appaji

Hi Appaji,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to preserve the Document ID when moving the documents across site collections.
Per my knowledge, the document id will be preserved when the document has been moved from one Site Collection to another Site Collection.
During move operations, SharePoint Server 2010 keeps the document ID. During copy operations SharePoint Server 2010 assigns a new document ID. You can control this by setting a Boolean operator on the PersistID column.

Error when trying to create a Site or Site Collection

Hi,
I am trying to create site in site collection in sharepoint online 2013
Pls help me

Verify that you have the following administrative credentials:
To create a site collection, you must be a member of the Farm Administrators SharePoint group on the computer that is running the SharePoint Central Administration website.
Start SharePoint 2013 Central Administration.
For Windows Server 2008 R2:
Click Start, click Microsoft SharePoint 2013 Products, and then click
SharePoint 2013 Central Administration.
For Windows Server 2012:
On the Start screen, click SharePoint 2013 Central Administration.
If SharePoint 2013 Central Administration is not on the
Start screen:
Right-click Computer, click All apps, and then click
SharePoint 2013 Central Administration.
On the Central Administration website, in the Application Management section, click
Create site collections.
On the Create Site Collection page, in the Web Application section, if the web application in which you want to create the site collection is not selected, on the
Web Application menu, click Change Web Application, and then click the web application in which you want to create the site collection.
In the Title and Description section, type the title and description for the site collection.
In the Web Site Address section, select the path to use for your URL (for example, a wildcard inclusion path such as /sites/, or the root directory (/).
If you select a wildcard inclusion path, you must also type the site name to use in your site's URL.
In the Template Selection section, in the Select experience version list, select the SharePoint experience version of the templates that you want to use.
Select the 2010 experience version if you want the site collection to look and run like a site collection in SharePoint Server 2010. A site collection that uses the 2010 experience version runs in SharePoint 2013, but the user interface and user experience
of the site collection is that of SharePoint Server 2010. A site collection that uses the 2010 experience version can be upgraded at any time to the 2013 experience version. For more information about how to upgrade a site collection,
In the Template Selection section, in the Select a template list, select the template that you want to use for the top-level site in the site collection, or click the
Custom tab to create an empty site and apply a template later.
A description for the template that you select appears below the list of templates.
In the Primary Site Collection Administrator section, type the user name (in the form DOMAIN\username) for the user who will be the site collection administrator.
In the Secondary Site Collection Administrator section, type the user name for the secondary administrator of the site collection.
Designating a secondary site collection administrator is a best practice to ensure that someone can manage the site collection when a primary site collection administrator is not present.
If you are using quotas to manage storage for site collections, in the
Quota Template section, click a template in the Select a quota template list.
Click OK.

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!
~Kat

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
