SharePoint site suddenly Read Only even for Administrators!

So at some point in time something had happened to our SharePoint 2010 server to cause what appeared to be a total lock down on the SharePoint
sites.

hi,
try this
Central Administration -> Site Collection Quotas and Locks.
Select your site collection
Change the Site Lock Information radio button from “Read-only”
to “Not locked”
OK the changes

How to make sub sites in SharePoint 2010 as Read Only

Hello,
We have a requirement to make sub site as read only in SharePoint 2010 programmatically.
How we can achieve it using Server Object Model ?
Thanks,

Hi,
You can write a WinForm program, and use
SPSecurableObject.BreakRoleInheritance method to achieve your requirement.

Is BAM-reader only available for US IDs?

I see it in the USA App store. If you can't from your store, I would assume it's not available in your country. AFAICT, all their physical stores are in the USA.

Unable to save Word documents when accessing them directly from the site because the document never converts from a read-only even though the User chooses to enable editing

Issue has only popped up recently and cannot reproduce in a Test environment. Unaware of any SharePoint changes, so hoping someone can point me in the correct direction.
Previously Word document did not have to be physically checked out, but rather the editing of the doc also checked out the doc in a document library. This is the way we want it to remain –
no manual check-out process. Now if a doc is edited without being checked-out, there is an issue with the process as the application thinks the doc is read-only (message received when trying to save the doc) even if enable editing is selected. The
following message appears when you try to save the document:
This message can appear if you have been editing a file that was opened as read-only. A file opened as read-only will have (Read-Only) appended to the file name as it appears in the title bar of Word. You can still save the document, but you must
save it by using a different file name. If you use Windows Explorer to change the read-only properties of the file, while the file is open in Word, it will not enable Word to save the file. Word must open a non-read-only version of the file in order to save
it by using its original file name. If you have not made any changes to the file, you can close it, and then use the following steps to make the file writeable. 1. Click the File tab, and then click Open. 2. Browse to the file and right-click it. 3. Click
Properties, and then clear the Read-Only check box. 4. Reopen the file. If you have made changes to a read-only file, you can save it, and then use the following steps to give the modified file the original file name. 1. Click the File tab, and then click
Save As. 2. Enter a different file name, and then click Save. 3. NOTE: Adding "Rev1", or "Mod1" to the original file name may help you to remember it later. 4. Click the File tab, and then click Close. 5. Open Windows Explorer. 6. Browse
to the original read-only file. 7. Rename the read-only file. 8. Browse to the new file. 9. Rename the new file to the name of the original file. Do not delete the read-only file until after you have determined you no longer need it.
Previously, when check-out was optional, a file was checked out automatically when someone opened it for editing, unless it was already checked out. The editing commands notified the User that the file is being/was checked out. The real issue is the
word doc can no longer be saved as the application still believes the doc is read-only.

Hi,
According to your description, you give the domain admin full control over files on the old file server, but you cannot move the files to the new file server. After pull the files from the old to the new file server, the domain admin can only read the files
on the new file server.
How did you move the files from the old file server to the new file server? Did you setup replication between the two file server or use robocopy?
Please check the files permissions on the new file server to see if the permissions are changed, then share the folder on the new file server to everyone to see the result.

Mandy

Trusted Sites GPO only works for administrators

I've got a major problem and was hoping somebody could help me. I've got a hundred users or so that connect to an RDS Farm. The RDS farm is made up of several Windows Server 2008 R2 servers. One with IE 10 and the other with IE 8.
The problem that I'm having is if add sites to zone assignment in group policy and add sites to the trusted zone it will only work for users that are administrators. I found a reference to this problem and the issue being IE Enhanced Security, but
Enhanced Security is turned off.
If I'm a normal user with Remote Desktop User rights and I go into IE and check Trusted Sites, there is nothing there. If I login as administrator and check I can see all the trusted sites.
Anyone know how I can fix this?

Hi Cyprus,
Please check if you have the computers or users needing the policy are in a group that is specified. Remember that domain users includes all users, domain computers includes all computer, and authenticated users includes both users and computer. By
default, a GPO will be scoped to Authenticated Users.
Also please run gpresult command on non-administrator user to check if it sync to client successfully.
In addition, I suggest you ask Group Policy forum for more professional help:

External drive is suddenly read-only, yet is formatted for Mac

I've had a 1TB external hard drive for the last year and never had a problem with it until now. Suddenly, it is showing as read-only, however, it's formatted for Mac. How am I able to fix this? Do I have to re-format it?

Usually that means the drive is malfunctioning. Back up all data on it, if you haven't already done so, then erase and restore. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it.

Easy read-only access for noobs

Lightroom is a great product for the photographer, but for his spouse it's not so easy. I'd like an easy way to copy an image to the clipboard or export it to iPhoto to be used in other apps like iWeb.
My photos are stored on a server. It should be easy for my wife to go through the collection in read-only mode and use photos for blogs, emails, slideshows, etc without having to learn how to sync the directory tree, export from Lightroom and manage those temporary files. Currently the best process I can find is:
Use Bridge to browse the photos since only Adobe products can see the Develop settings for the RAW images.
Select the image and right-click Open-With Camera Raw
In Camera Raw Save the file as a JPEG into a temporary folder
In Finder, find the temporary folder, open the JPEG with Preview or drag the file to iPhoto
If It's in Preview, Copy the image to the clipboard for pasting into an app like Mail or iWeb.
It seems like we could eliminate several steps here if Adobe Bridge had a convert&copyToClipboard option that would convert a RAW with Develop settings into a JPEG and then copy that JPEG into the clipboard for pasting into an application.
If anyone has a better approach, let me know.
Besides the cost overhead, it's not realistic for her to use Lightroom from her computer because Lightroom won't dynamically see folder tree changes without a Sync. Using Bridge she also loses out on virtual copies.
Thanks,
-Ryan.

Pete,
Good point... that's true. I shouldn't say there aren't any programs that support XMP... there certainly are!
I don't know, though, of any application that can read - and more importantly *use* - the XMP data that's specifically related to the Lightroom Developer metadata.
An application can say that it has read/write support for XMP (which is actually not only for LR, but also for Photoshop and even PDFs), but that doesn't mean the application has to recognize - and honor - every piece of metadata contained within that XMP file. I think a lot of the applications listed on Adobe's website only support a subset of the Lightroom metadata: EXIF, IPTC, geocoding... that kind of thing.
So it's one thing to say that an app supports XMP, and it's another to say that an application fully supports XMP. If an image editor supported every XMP tag, it could take a RAW + Lightroom XMP file, pick up where you left off in Lightroom, save its own changes back to XMP, and Lightroom would recognize the other editor's changes. I don't think even Photoshop supports XMP to that level!
I don't know of any app that will read Lightroom's Developer metadata and display the same image that you see in Lightroom, which is what the OP was asking for and what I was addressing in saying there aren't apps that support XMP.
But, you're right, I was an over-sweeping generalization. So, let me restate more accurately
The XMP data is developed by Adobe, but it's a published standard so in theory anybody who wanted to COULD read the Lightroom Developer XMP/DNG data. But nobody does.
Of course, all this is a little academic because even if an organizer (e.g. Picasa) could honor all the Lightroom metadata and display the image "correctly", it wouldn't matter. The ultimate goal of the OP is to use the image in blogs, emails, etc. which is unfortunately still going to require a JPG. Maybe one day DNG and XMP will be as widely supported as JPG (which I think is Adobe's goal)!
Thanks for keeping me honest

SD card is suddenly read only (and it never used to be before).

I'm not tech-svvy at all, so I'll try to be as detailed as I can with my problem and hopefully some patient soul will be able to give me some step by step instructions on how to fix this haha.
I've had my MacBook Pro for about a year now and I haven't had a problem with transfering photos from my phone and camera onto it. My camera has an SD card and my phone has a Micro SD.
As of a few days ago, I've noticed that when I insert my SD card into the slot, there's an icon to the top left side of the window when I open it that never used to be there. It kind of looks like a pencil with a line going through it, but it still let me transfer photos to my computer, so I didn't think anything of it.
When I tried to transfer photos from my phone's Micro SD, it does the same thing. I can still transfer pictures to the computer without a problem.
The issue becomes when I want to transfer photos from my computer to the card for my camera or the one for my phone. I've tried to look through similar questions on here and elsewhere on the internet, but all I've been able to gather is that the little pencil with a line through it means my cards are in "Read Only" mode as opposed to the "Read and Write" that they should be in.
I don't recall making any changes to any sort of settings on this computer and I haven't had any recent updates to the software.
Also, none of the cards are locked. I know there's a little swtich to the side of them that manually makes them read only, but I never touch them and they're always 'unlocked' as it were.
Can anyone guide me through getting these settings back to the way they were?
(Since I'm technologically illiterate, I have no idea what operating system I'm on, so I apologize if this is an important factor in helping me.)

The contact inside the SD card slot could be dirty. you can try to clean them by shutting the system down, get some electrical contact cleaner and put a small amount on the SD card contacts and push it in and out a few times. Let it dry for a few minutes (most of these type contact cleaners alcohol based and dry fairly fast) and power up the system. See if the cards are now Read+Write.
Also check the cards to see if the little switch hasn't been pushed into the Lock setting.
Even though these card may work in your camera and or phone they may be at the end of there life cycle. Try a NEW card and see if that makes a difference.
As a last resort you can always buy a external card reader and connect it to a USB port.Some SD cards come with a small SD card reader that plugs directly into a USB port. The only problem I've had with them is that some of them do not go in all the way on MBPs. The case of the MBP stops them from inserting all the way and or if you have something else plugged in to the other USB port there isn't enough room, right to left, to insert another device. Or you could spend some more money and have Apple Care fix it, that is if none of the above work.
Good Luck.

How to create mandatory (read-only) profile for Terminal Services user (HP Thin Client) on Server2003... aaarrgghhh!

I've been tearing my hair out for a couple of days now...
I'm trying to create a mandatory profile for users logging in from hp thin clients on a 2003 server at a school.
I've set up a prototype user, then copied the proto user's NTUSER.DAT to NTUSER.MAN and renamed
NTUSER.DAT to NTUSER.DAT_unused.
At that point, logging in as the prototype user looks ok. It was my understanding that renaming NTUSER.DAT to NTUSER.MAN would make it a mandatory profile, and the user (in this case the proto user) would be unable to change it. However, in this
case the user can still modify the desktop and those modifications are preserved across logins. The NTUSER.MAN file is being updated, judging by the timestamp changes.
What am I missing?
I've tried putting the NTUSER.MAN in the user's dir on the server
(C:\Documents and Settings\ProtoUser),
in the DefaultUser, and in AllUsers.
Right now I'm getting a default, unmodifiable profile which I have no idea where it comes from.
In case it matters, the original user and directory tree from which the NTUSER.MAN I'm trying to use has been deleted, but I wouldn't think that should matter.
For example, I have the option to not show the security tab set in the group policy, but it is showing up.
The Start menu is showing as the classic start menu, and I had it set for the "new" (2 column) one.
I've got hide network places on the desktop set, but it's showing up.
Is there a way to tell where a profile is coming from?
I'm pretty confused at this point; any clarifications / tips would be much appreciated.
Related questions:
If both an NTUSER.DAT and an NTUSER.MAN exist, which is used?
If no profile is found for a user in the normal place, what happens?

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
A mandatory user profile is a special type of pre-configured roaming user profile that administrators can use to specify settings for users. With mandatory user profiles, a user can modify his or her desktop, but the changes are not saved when the user
logs off. The next time the user logs on, the mandatory user profile created by the administrator is downloaded. There are two types of mandatory profiles: normal mandatory profiles and super-mandatory profiles.
User profiles become mandatory profiles when the administrator renames the NTuser.dat file (the registry hive) on the server to NTuser.man. The .man extension causes the user profile to be a read-only profile.
User profiles become super-mandatory when the folder name of the profile path ends in .man; for example, \\server\share\mandatoryprofile.man\.

I am doing like this.
In the Z view, in the tab "Maint. Status", i have selected the radio button "Read Only" and saved it.
I have created a transaction code for this view with SE16 access with the inputs
Transaction                                                           SE16

Fields in read-only mode for BP transaction in upgrade from 4.72 to ECC6.0

Hello,
This is regarding the query for BP transaction in upgrade from 4.72 to ECC 6.0.
While creating BP / Changing BP system is disabling the fields in compnay code & sales area option. There is a SAP not provided 907860; and specified that the proplem is because of the delta customizing.
All the customization settings are as per the note. And the Synchronization Control is also activated. But still the fields are disabled only.
I have checked the field settings also in Cross-Application-Components & Logistic-Genral.
But these are not working for compnay code & sales area data.
please let me know if anyone has faced this type of problem / found any solution on this.
Best Regards,
Shubhada

SAP IMG -> Cross Application Components -> Master Data Synchronization  Synchronization Control -> Synchronization Control -> Activate Synchronization options
This setting allows you to activate synchronization of BP with R/3. Not maintaining the values may result in certain fields being read-only in BP.
Suggested Values:
Source Object: BP | Target Object: CUSTOMER | Active Indicator : X
Source Object: BP | Target Object: VENDOR | Active Indicator : X
Source Object: CUSTOMER | Target Object: BP | Active Indicator : X
Source Object: VENDOR | Target Object: BP | Active Indicator : X
Have you set all of the above settings??
