SharePoint 2010 mirroring

Hi Team,
we recently configured mirroring on our SharePoint environment , now we are planning to configure the User profile services on our SharePoint server. is there any link to configure the UPS services on mirroring ?

Seems like mirroring of UPS is not supported. Refer to the following post for more information

2 servers can do "Mirroring" are there 3 servers in Sharepoint 2010 Server mirroring?

Hello Community
    In providing availability using Sharepoint 2010 Server using "Mirroring"
you need a "Principal, Mirror and a Witness".
    Logically speaking the principal and mirror I would say are the two servers
that are involved in Sharepoint 2010 Server availability.
    The question is in a 2 server farm what is the "Witness" in availability,is it a Sharepoint
2010 Server, is it the Domain Controller or is it a separate server and do you have
to purchase a copy of Sharepoint 2010 Server to run it on?
    Thank you
    Shabeaut

For SharePoint web front end servers you use multiple web servers and a load balancing service or device. SharePoint application server will auto load balance. For database servers you can use database mirroring. The running SQL server is the Primary,
the backup SQL server is the Mirror and the Witness is any other SQL server.
Be aware that SQL mirroring is going away in the future:

Sharepoint 2010 - configuration database size limit

Hi,
We have below scenario in our production farm. Ours is a SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Edition server.
Medium size farm (4 WFE, 4 App Servers, Content DBs in separate tier. No SharePoint search in this farm)
Configuration DB reached 250+ GB. Please clarify below queries.
1. What is the boundary limit for configuration database size?
2. How we can scale the configuration database?
3. Can we add multiple configuration database per farm?
4. What are the best practices and regular maintenance activities to be done to keep the configuration db size under control?
It would be really really great if someone gives some good knowledge in this area.

1) Not aware of one
2) You can add multiple files to the file group
3) No
Is the growth in the MDF or the LDF (log file)? If it is in the log file, are you using high availability (Clustering, Mirroring, Log Shipping, AlwaysOn)? If so, you need to run a BACKUP LOG periodically to maintain the LDF size, or allow you to truncate
the LDF.

Failover SharePoint SQL Mirror steps?

Hi
I have a stretched SharePoint 2010 farm across 2 DCs. We have a SQL server in each site (2008 R2) using asynchronous mirroring. We use Power Pivot service application - its DB is also mirrored. I set the failover server/database location
using PowerShell for all SP DBs.
We attempted a mirror failover last week using the following process:
1. Activated the mirrored DBs
2. Updated Power Pivot service application to point to the new failover server/db
Afterwards all SP services seemed ok - apart from Power Pivot. We got an error about "unable to refresh data". The reports would load but we could refresh data within those reports.
I just want to ask are we following the correct procedure in failing over?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the PowerPivot reports could not refresh data after changing the databases.
I recommend to make sure that the following services are running:
Excel Calculation Service; Secure Store Service;
Claims to Windows Token Service; PowerPivot Service.
And check the service account’s permission on the new database.
Please also try to point the PowerPivot service application to the former database to see if the issue still occurs.
Could you please provide more detailed error message in the ULS log?
Thanks,
Victoria

Unable to open Office files on SharePoint 2010 sites on Windows Server 2008 R2

Setup: Windows SharePoint Server 2010 sp1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 (hosted on VMWare VSphere ESXi 5.1)
Secured using Domain SSL from GlobalSign.
Client OS: Windows 7 Professional 32bit & Windows XP SP3 32 bit
Browsers: IE10, IE9,IE8
Office: Office 2010, Office 2010 sp2 (both 32bit), Office 2007
Problem Description: Only recently, users started having issues with opening Office files (Word, Excel) on SharePoint sites. When you click on an Office file e.g. Word Document, it comes up with the option to select "Ready only" or "Edit"
and choosing either options and re-entering the login credentials results in the
application hanging. If you leave it for a while (about 5 minutes) sometimes the file opens and other times it gives the error "Could not open https://portal.com/XXX/XXX/Document.docx". Even when it opens, it's extremely
sluggish and can't do anything other than end it via Task Manager. Same with excel files.
This happens to all the users all different OS and browsers.
On XP Pro SP3 w/ IE8, when you click on the file, the login prompt keeps popping back up repeatedly and if you click cancel, the file loads up anyway but no way of saving back onto the SharePoint site.
IMPORTANT: One exception is when logged in as a Site Collection Administrator, it
works like a dream bizarrely!!!! Opens, Edits and saves back fine on the SharePoint site.
Have tried following:
1. Repaired Office 2010 Pro; Uninstalled/Re-installed Office 2010 Pro
2. Reset Browser, unticked automatically detect proxy settings.
3. Emptied OfficeOfflineCache on Client
4. Removed WebDAV from the SharePoint server
5. Added Antivirus folder exclusion (We use SEP 11) on the SharePoint Server
Note: PDF files opens fine for all users.
I would immensely appreciate if anybody has got any advice/pointers/suggestions. Desperately out of ideas at the moment.
regards,
Compter Sez No!

Hi,
According to your description, When you try to open a Microsoft Office document from a SharePoint 2010 site in a client application, the document opens slowly and you are prompted to enter your credentials multiple times.
This issue may be because of SharePoint Web Front End (WFE) server(s) has Antivirus software installed and the exceptions are not set correctly.
I recommend to remove the antivirus software or set the correct permissions for the antivirus software to resolve the issue.
To configure the antivirus exceptions, please follow the guidelines in the below articles:
KB943620:
Folders to exclude when you perform a file-level antivirus scan on a server operating system.
KB952167:
Certain folders may have to be excluded from antivirus scanning when you use a file-level antivirus program in SharePoint.
KB943556:
Recommended file and folder exclusions for Microsoft Forefront Client Security or Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010.
Best regards.
Thanks

Reporting Services 2012 in SharePoint 2010 - do I need to install SSRS on each server?

Have spent some time today setting up SSRS2012 with SP1 Business Intelligence Edition on our test SharePoint 2010 farm. The SharePoint farm is four servers (plus a database) - one of the application servers will host the SQL Server 2012 instance and
SSRS 2012.
I've installed SSRS 2012 on one of the servers in SharePoint mode, and seems to be configured correctly in Central Admin - can view the system settings, it reports that the SQL Server Agent is running, etc. I've also installed the SSRS 2012 SharePoint
Add-In on all servers. However, I'm getting the following error whenever I try to do anything with reports (such as deploying or running):
Name=Request (POST:http://sharepoint/reports/ReportService2010.asmx) System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: The file you are attempting to save or retrieve has been blocked from this Web site by
the server administrators.
Sure enough, if I try to connect to that ReportService2010.asmx URL in a browser, I get the same error. Note that http://sharepoint is NOT the server I installed SSRS on - this is a web front-end.
Can I assume that I need to install SSRS2012 (SharePoint integrated) on all SharePoint servers in the farm? Or is this another issue?

You only need to install the Add-on for the additional servers. Have you configured the SSRS Service Application?

Reporting Services 2012 in SharePoint 2010 - SQL database edition?

We currently have a SharePoint 2010 farm, running on a SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard database. On one of the SharePoint 2010 servers, we have an instance of Reporting Services 2008 Enterprise running in SharePoint integrated mode. (We require Enterprise
for data-driven subscriptions)
We'd like to upgrade to Reporting Services 2012 for Data Alerts and a few other new features. However, I noticed something on
this blog stating that the SharePoint 2010 database server edition needs to match the Reporting Services edition. My concern is that I've not seen any official mention of this in Microsoft's documentation, and would like to avoid upgrading to Enterprise
for the SharePoint 2010 database if I can avoid it.
So, what I'd like to run is:
SharePoint 2010
SharePoint database: SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard
Reporting Services 2012 Enterprise
Reporting Services database: same as SharePoint database, so SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard
Is this possible? Or do I need to upgrade the SharePoint database to SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise?
Alternatively, could I install a separate database engine just for Reporting Services to host its databases (for example, SQL Server 2012 Enterprise), so I don't have to mess around with upgrading the SP database?

While you don't need to upgrade your SQL 2008 R2 to 2012, you will need to install an instance of SQL 2012 & SSRS 2012. They can be side-by-side and independent of each other. The following blog post provides steps to do so,

Getting Prompt for Credentials When Opening InfoPath 2010 Form in Sharepoint 2010

I have a domain user who runs Office 2010 x32 and uses a Sharepoint 2010 site daily. Lately a specific page on that site has been randomly giving prompts for credentials when opening existing documents and creating new ones. The process can be most easily
replicated by opening the new document template in Infopath by going to Documents -> New in the ribbon bar of the SP page. Most of the time the Windows credentials for the user are passed to Infopath/Sharepoint automatically (which is normal), but on the
fourth or fifth attempt to create a new form, the prompt appears. The user can still enter the credentials and open the blank template form, but a prompt should not appear. The user is also the administrator for that page, so I'm thinking it's not a permissions
issue.
The user is running IE 9 on Windows 7 Pro x64. I have performed the following:
Reset advanced IE settings and all user cache data
Cleared cached Sharepoint credentials in Windows credential manager
Re-applied group policy for the machine using gpupdate /force
Logged in with a clean temporary profile
Logged in to another domain account using the user's Sharepoint credentials
Cleared Infopath cache
Re-installed Office 2010 x32
The problem only occurs only on this particular machine. There are no Sharepoint or authentication-related errors or warnings in the application and system event logs. There are also no error messages on-screen when the prompt appears. I also considered
the possibility of this being a performance related issue in the case that maybe Infopath was taking too long to start, causing the credential pass-through process to time out and fall back to a prompt. I ran disk cleanup, deleted some temporary files, and
checked for excessive CPU/memory load. I didn't find any issues and doing these things did not help.
I'm convinced there is another setting somewhere in Windows that is causing this. Interestingly it always happens after four or five attempts, never the first time. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hi Titan, this sounds like an IE security setting issue. Things to do:
1. In Internet options>Security>Local Intranet, make sure "Enable Protected Mode" is not selected.
2. Under Sites>Advanced, add https://*.sharepoint.com (and make sure "Require server verification..." is not checked).
3. Under Security>Custom Level, scroll all the way to the bottom and make sure "Automatic logon with current user..." is checked.

Enable or disable button on a ribbon based on user permissions in SharePoint 2010

Hi,
I have requirement to find a way to disable Inheritance, Add and Modify group from permission tab for users who are not added into specific group e.g. Administrators
I have followed the following article to create a feature but have encountered few issues:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff408060.aspx
Issues:
I used the above code as a sample to create a feature and test if it would work. It worked fine but even though i have replaced Location="Ribbon.Library.Actions.ConnectToClient" with my permission locations,
Connect to Outlook button still doesn't appear when the feature is activated. If i deactive this feature it shows
Connect to Outlook button even though there is no reference for this in the code!
I have modified the Elements.XML and have added the following code but it still disables the buttons for a user who has Site Collection Administrator permissions, i just want to disable this for users who are in particular group:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<CustomAction
Id="RemoveRibbonButton"
Location="CommandUI.Ribbon"
RequireSiteAdministrator = "TRUE"
>
<CommandUIExtension>
<CommandUIDefinitions>
<CommandUIDefinition
Location="Ribbon.Permission.Modify" />
</CommandUIDefinitions>
</CommandUIExtension>
</CustomAction>
<CustomAction
Id="RemoveRibbonButton"
Location="CommandUI.Ribbon"
RequireSiteAdministrator = "TRUE"
>
<CommandUIExtension>
<CommandUIDefinitions>
<CommandUIDefinition
Location="Ribbon.Permission.Add" />
</CommandUIDefinitions>
</CommandUIExtension>
</CustomAction>
</Elements>
I have also have another issue when this feature is activated even though i haven't removed 'Check' and 'Manage' Ribbon locations, they are also greyed out as shown it the screenshot below:
I have also created a user control using the following method:
http://sharepointroot.com/2010/06/18/remove-actions-from-the-ribbon-sharepoint-2010/
But again i need to restrict it specific user group.
Any advice how to do this? or which way is better creating a feature or creating a user control? even though i liked the creating the feature as it gives your more control.
Regards,
Kashif

Thanks for your reply Paul.
I do understand that this is a partial solution and wouldn't stop them completely from doing these actions using different UI but atleast it would remove these options from the ribbon which is causing us some major issues when clicked by mistake especially
'inherit permissions'.
We do have governance policies in place and a certain user group can add and remove users from SP site. But the issue we have currently is that when one of these (authorised) users uses 'inherit permissions from parent' site. This removes the unique
permissions from the subsite and delete all SP groups / permission level in the subsite. In some cases subsite contains confidential information which is then exposed to all the users who have access to the parent site.
The main button which i'm interested to disable is 'Inherit Permissions' which i believe can't be used from anyother UI apart from the ribbon.
I just need to know if it's possible to restrict this for some users or group? even if it just removes it from the ribbon only i would be still interested to explore this implementation.
Any help would be apperciated.
Regards,
Kashif

NN: "Good article. The SSIS solution can use a bit more explanation. Also See Also section is missing"
DRC: "This is good article, The only this which can be corrected is : ==> This can be achieved using “maintenance Cleanup Task • Maintenance Plan has a control flow item “maintenance Cleanup Task” to delete the old backup files based
on age of the backup, but it creates the problem when it deletes the full database backups based on n no.of days leaving all the dependent intermediate differential and transaction logs which are useless. "

SharePoint 2010 search webservices compatibility with SharePoint 2013

Please let us know whether the SharePoint 2010 search webservice is compatible with SharePoint 2013.
When we try to hit the SharePoint 2013 search service with the query developed in the Sharepoint 2010 , we are getting "System.Not supported" exception as response from server.
Below is the search query we are using:
"<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\" xmlns:xsd=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\" xmlns:soap=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\">"

Please help

Hi Raghuramk,
is the web service is a search query web service? if yes, i suppose sharepoint 2013 already deprecated,
Search Query web service
Description: The Search Query web service is deprecated in SharePoint 2013.
In SharePoint Server 2010, the Search Query web service exposes the SharePoint Enterprise Search capabilities to client applications. This enables you to access search results from client and web applications outside the context of a SharePoint site.
Reason for change: The Search Query web service is deprecated because the client object model (CSOM) and a new REST-based web service are available for developing Office-wide extensibility scenarios. The CSOM exposes the same functionality
as the Search Query web service, and a larger set of functionality for stand-alone client applications.

SharePoint 2010 sites along with SharePoint 2013 sites

Hi,
we have a client who ha SharePoint 2013 foundation installed. They bought third party extension, and unfortunately they found out, that extension is compatible up to SharePoint 2010.
Is it possible to install new SharePoint server 2010, connect it to existing SP 2013 farm and thus activate extension for SP 2010?
Thanks,
Tomas

This only works one way and a SharePoint 2013 farm can not consume services from a SharePoint 2010 provider

SharePoint 2010 Excel Services with SQLserver 2012 cubes

I have two tier sharepoint 2010 enterprise setup
1)wfe and app server
2) sqlserver
I also have a sqlserver 2012 which hosts all our BI cubes .
is it possible to connect excel (office 2010) to sql 2012 BI and save that in my sharepoint 2010 server under shared documents and expect it to refresh when aall authenticated users hit " refresh all connections"
It is not able to hit refresh . I get a " unable to refresh data for a data connection in this notebook" the following connections fail to refresh.
Interesting when I do the same this using sql server 2008 r2 BI , everything works fine

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the SharePoint 2010 Excel Service cannot work with SQL Server 2012.
Did you install Service Pack 1 for SharePoint 2010?
SharePoint 2010 Service Pack 1 is required for SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot for SharePoint features.
Please check if the Service Pack 1 is installed for SharePoint 2010. If not, please download it from the link below and install it:

Initiate Excel Refresh with SharePoint 2010

Hey guys,
I've got question. I use SharePoint in connection with Excel, but there is a problem. Normally the data is handed over from SharePoint to an Excel Sheet and this Excel sheet does a lot of calculation and then it is shown in the excel webpart. Sometimes the
data is not up-to-date, then I have to refresh Excel manually.
Is there any possible way to push this refreshing without a script?Or is a script the best way to handle this?
Best regards and thanks in advance
Matthias

if you are not using the excel services and you want refresh your data from client side.You can do with script and schedule it as task run what ever time you want.
their are 2 things, again
1) the document library which required checkout before editing.
# This is the location of the document library that has the Excel files
# You must have WebDAV enabled on the server (which is default, I think)
# and the webclient service enabled and running on your workstation.
$library = "\\sharepoint.ad.local@SSL\DavWWWRoot\Shared Documents"
# Start Excel (it will be invisible unless you do $excel.visible = $true)
$excel = new-object -comobject Excel.Application
# Give Excel time to open or it errors inconsistently
Start-Sleep -s 3
$excelfiles = get-childitem $library -recurse -include "*.xls*"
foreach ($file in $excelfiles)
  $workbookpath = $file.fullname
  if ($excel.workbooks.canCheckOut($workbookpath)) {
    # open the worksheet and check it out
    $excelworkbook = $excel.workbooks.Open($workbookpath)
    $excelworkbook = $excel.workbooks.CheckOut($workbookpath)
    # Don't ask cuz I don't know (yet). You have to open it again.
    $excelworkbook = $excel.workbooks.Open($workbookpath)
    # Refresh all the pivot tables with the new data.
    $excelworkbook.RefreshAll()
    # Save and Check it in
    $excelworkbook.Save()
    $excelworkbook.CheckInWithVersion()
$excel.quit()
2) Document library where no checkout required.
# This is the location of the document library that has the Excel files
# You must have WebDAV enabled on the server (which is default, I think)
# and the webclient service enabled and running on your workstation.
$library = "\\sharepoint.ad.local@SSL\DavWWWRoot\Shared Documents"
# Start Excel (it will be invisible unless you do $excel.visible = $true)
$excel = new-object -comobject Excel.Application
# Give Excel time to open or it errors inconsistently
Start-Sleep -s 3
$excelfiles = get-childitem $library -recurse -include "*.xls*"
foreach ($file in $excelfiles)
  $workbookpath = $file.fullname
    # open the worksheet
    $excelworkbook = $excel.workbooks.Open($workbookpath)
    # Refresh all the pivot tables with the new data.
    $excelworkbook.RefreshAll()
    # Save and Close
    $excelworkbook.Save()
    $excelworkbook.Close()
$excel.quit()
