SharePoint User Migration

Hello,
Our enterprise has been acquired by another one, now we are migrating everything from our currently domain to the new one. At this point there is a trust between the two domains. Our main application are web applications using sharepoint,
dotnetnuke, tfs using integrated authentication with our currently domain. We are facing a situation that I appreciate some tips. We need to migrate all our currently domain users to the new domain, the login users will be change, but we need to do some kind
of match from the current user to the new user on sharepoint tfs, dotnetnuke to keep all historic.
How can we do this kind of match?

I think that is exactly what we need.
I will now investigate further.
Thanks a lot

How to get the SharePoint user context available in custom federated search connector?

Hi,
I'm investigating the possibilities for developing a federated search connector for SharePoint 2013 Online. This should allow us to search a customer's database through our custom developed application (both on premise). We intend to develop
an remote federated search connector (using OpenSearch protocol) and configure a result source in SharePoint for that connector.
The problem I'm struggling with is that I want different search results from this ressult source based on the permissions of the user that is executing the search. The admin should find a lot because he has permissions on certain items in the custom
application. The employee should find just a few because he has no permissions on certain items in the custom application. We developed the custom application ourselveds and the search in that application is taking permissions into account: it doesn't
return results if a user doesn't have sufficient permissions. That part works just fine.
However, to be able to use that, the remote federated search connector must be able to identify the user that is executing the search in SharePoint Online. So: how do I get the SharePoint user context in the remote federated search connector?
I know I can configure the replacement token {User.Name} in the result source configuration, but that gives me the name of the user only. This is insufficient to get an identity, principal, token or whatever, that let's me log in into our custom
application.
I also know that in a provider hosted app, user context is passed through from SharePoint and is known within the remote app. But since result sources need fixed (or anonymous) credentials configuration for connecting to the remote federated search connector,
all users will be using the same credentials. This makes me assume these credentials are for securing communication and cannot be used within the execution of the search within the remote federated search connector.
At the moment, I'm stuck. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Ruud.

Hi,
Per my knowledge, we cannot get the SharePoint user context available in custom federated search connector with other methods.

How to populate a sharepoint 2010 list from the active directory. How to populate a sharepoint 2010 list with all sharepoint user profiles

How to populate a sharepoint 2010 from the active directory.
I want a list of all the computers in the active directory,
another one with all users.
I want also to populate a sharepoint 2010 list from the sharepoint user profiles.
Thanks

While
the contacts list is usually filled out for contacts that are outside the company, there are times when you would use a contacts list to store internal and external resources. Wouldn’t it be nice if you didn’t have to re-type your internal contacts’
information that are already in the system? Now you can with a little InfoPath customization on the contacts list.
Here’s our plan:
Create the contacts list, and open in InfoPath
Create a data connection to the User Profile web service
Customize the form adding some text, a people picker and a button
Create InfoPath rules that will populate the contact fields from the user fields in the User Profile store
Let’s get going! Before we begin, make sure you have InfoPath 2010 installed locally on your computer. I also want to give credit Laura
Rogers and Darvish Shadravan’s book Using
Microsoft InfoPath 2010 with Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Step by Step. I know it looks like a lot of steps, but it’s easy once you get the hang of it.
So obviously we need a contacts list. If you don’t already have one, go to the SharePoint site where it will live, and create a contacts list.
From the list, click the List tab on the ribbon, then click Customize form:
So now we have our form open in InfoPath 2010. Let’s add our elements to the form.
Above all the fields, let’s add some text instructing users what to do with the the field we’re about to add (.e.g To enter an existing user’s information, choose the user below).
Insert a people picker control by clicking the Person/Group Picker control in the Controls section of the ribbon. This will add a column to the contacts list called group.
Below the people picker, insert a button control from the same section of the ribbon as above. With the button still highlighted, click the Control Tools|Properties tab on the ribbon.
Then in the Label box, change the text to something more appropriate to our task (e.g. Click here to load user data!).
You can drag the button control a little larger to account for the text.
We should end up with something like this:
Before we can populate the fields with user data, we need to create a connection to the User Profile Service.
Add a data connection to the User Profile Service
Click the Data tab on the ribbon, and click the option From Web Service, and From SOAP Web Service.
For the location, enter the URL of your SharePoint site in the following format – http://<site url>/_vti_bin/UserProfileService.asmx?WSDL. Click Next.
Note - for the URL, it can be any SharePoint site URL, not just to the site where your list is.
For the operation, choose GetUserProfileByName. Click Next.
Click Next on the next two screens.
On the final screen, uncheck the box for “Automatically retrieve data when form is opened”. This is because we are going to retrieve the data when the button is clicked, also for performance reasons.
Now we need to wire up the actions on our button to populate the fields with the information for the user in the people picker control.
Tell the form to read the user from the people picker control
Click the Home tab on the ribbon.
Click the button control we created, and under the Rules section of the ribbon, click Manage Rules. Notice the pane appear on the far right.
In the Rules pane, click New –> Action. Change the name to something like “Query and load user data”.
Leave the condition to default (none – rule runs when button is clicked).
Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose “Set a field’s value”.
For Field, click the button on the right to load the select a field dialog. Click the Show advanced view on the bottom. At the top, click the drop down and choose the GetUserProfileByName
(Secondary) option. Expand myFields and queryFields to the last option and highlightAccountName. Click ok.
For Value, click the formula icon. On the formula screen, click the Insert Field or Group button. Again click the show advanced view link, but this time leave the data
connection as Main. Expand dataFields, then mySharePointListItem_RW. At the bottom you should see a folder called group (the people picker control we just added to the form). Expand this, then pc:Person,
and highlightAccountId. Click Ok twice to get back to the Rules pane.
If we didn’t do this and just queried the user profile service, it would load the data of the currently logged in user. So we need to tell the form what user to load the data for. We take the AccountID field from the people
picker control and inject into the AccountName query field of the User Profile Service data connection.
Load the user profile service information for the chosen user
Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose Query for data.
In the popup, for Data connection, click the one we created earlier – GetUserProfileByName and clickOk.
We’re closing in on our goal. Let’s see our progress. We should see something like this:
Now that we have the user’s data read into the form, we can populate the fields in the contact form. The number of steps to complete will depend on how many fields you want to populate. We need to add an action step for
each field. I’ll show you one example and then you will just repeat the steps for the other fields. Let’s update the Job Title field.
Populate the contact form fields with existing user’s data
Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose “Set a field’s value”.
For Field, click the button on the right to load the select a field dialog. Highlight the field Job Title.
For Value, click the formula icon. On the formula screen, click the Insert Field or Group button. Click the Show advanced view on the bottom. At the top, click the
drop down and choose theGetUserProfileByName (Secondary) option. Expand the fields all the way down until you see the Value field. Highlight it but don’t click ok, but click the Filter
Data button, then Add.
For the first dropdown that says Value, choose Select a field or group. The value field will be highlighted, but click the field Name field
under PropertyData. Click Ok.
In the blank field after “is equal to”, click in the box and choose Type text. Then type the text Title.
Click ok until you get back to the Manage Rules pane. The last previous screen will look like this.
We’re going to update common fields that are in the user’s profile, and likely from Active Directory. You can update fields like first and last name, company, mobile and work phone number, etc. For the other fields, the
steps are the same except the Field you choose to update from the form, and the very last step where you enter the text will change. Here’s what the rules look like when we’re done:
We’re all done, good work! You can preview the form and try it now. Click Ctrl+Shift+B to preview the form. Once you’re satisfied, you can publish the form back to the library. Click File –> Quick
Publish. Once it’s done, you will get confirmation:
Now open your form in SharePoint. From the contact list, click Add new item. Type in a name, and click the button and watch the magic happen!

SharePoint 2013 and Windows authentication (integrated) or SharePoint user for report data source

Hello,
I am having issues creating report datasource in "Windows authentication (integrated) or SharePoint user" in SharePoint 2013. I followed the steps mentioned in the link http://blogs.msdn.com/b/psssql/archive/2014/04/28/sharepoint-adventures-using-claims-with-reporting-services.aspx.
I am just stuck in the delegation piece here. I have a SSAS instance by name "XXXXAPPV01\Multidimensional". First thing is what is the procedure to set SPN for this instance? I need to add this service in the delegation tab so that C2WTS service
configured correctly.
Nothing but I should be able to access my SSAS 2012 cube from SSRS 2012 by "Windows authentication (integrated) or SharePoint user" as the authentication method.
Palash

I used the below command to set SPN for analysis services.
setspn -S MSOLAPSvc.3/XXXXAPPV01APPV01.xxxxdmo.local:Multidimensional xxxxdmo\svcMyService
After setting the SPN for this service account I added this account(xxxxdmo\svcMyService) in the delegation tab of my domain account created earlier for claim service (xxxxdmo\svcC2WTS). Now in service type it shows -> MSOLAPSvc.3, User or Computer it shows
-> XXXXAPPV01APPV01.xxxxdmo.local and in Port it shows -> Multidimensional. This is in my svcC2WTS account delegation tab. Still I am not able to connect datasource by "Windows authentication(integrated) or SharePoint User". I am getting the
same error "Cannot convert claims identity to windows token".
I am not sure what am I missing in this configuration piece yet to get this working.

Sharepoint 2007 to Sharepoint 2010 migration

Hi,
Does Microsoft recommends/support below techniques for SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2010 migration?
Migrate SharePoint 2007 site to 2010 using save list as template technique: I use this technique. I have to delete all look up columns and add them again. Because I deleted all look up columns, I lost data of those columns. I am not able to update these
columns data using spreadsheet view copy and paste as those are look up columns. Please tell me what is the easy way to update these look up columns data. After I move it production again I have to do incremental update.
Migrate SharePoint 2007 site to 2010 using an Access table technique: This technique does not support all data types.
Migrate SharePoint 2007 site to 2010 using Power Shell STSADM command: As in my site there are some customization I am not able to migrate site using STSADM command. It is giving me errors.
Thanks,
Amit Khatri

hi
mentioned techniques can be used for copying the data across different web apps/farms within the same Sharepoint version (i.e. from SP2007 to SP2007 or from SP2010 to SP2010, but not from SP2007 to SP2010). If you need to perform upgrade from SP2007 to SP2010
you have 2 ways:
- in-place upgrade
- db attach upgrade
Check the following post for more details:

Exchange 2010 to 2013 users migration

Hi,
I am migrating users from Exchange 2010 to 2013 and facing a lot of migration issues. few of them are as follow.
1. It hung up at "syncing" and end up with a failure.
2. After a long migration i got the following errors
Error: MigrationPermanentExeception: Failed to reset the target mailbox after the move. Error Details:MaipExceptionADUnavailable: Unable to prepopulate the cache for user :: on domain controller xyz.domain.com (hr=0x80004005,ec=2414) Diagnosti Context: Lid:

Error details: Target mailbox connection was lost.
3. users migration is taking a lot of time although mailbox size is not big and both servers are in same datacenter.
Need urgent help pls....

Hi,
Here are the general steps for troubleshooting mailbox moves:
1. If the move request didn't complete, view the Move Request Statistics.
2. If the move request completed with errors, view the move report.
3. View the Event log on the Client Access server running the instance of the Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication service that's processing the failed move request.
4. use the Exchange Management Console or the Exchange Management Shell to increase the diagnostic logging levels on the Client Access server for the Mailbox Move and Service categories of the MSExchange Mailbox Replication service.
For more detailed information about general steps for troubleshooting mailbox moves, you can refer to the article below:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd638094(v=exchg.141).aspx
Additionally, in order to narrow down the cause, I’d like to confirm the following information:
1. Are the problematic target mailboxes in the same database?
2. Is there a time boundary? After that, you cannot move mailboxes:

User migration engine

hi..
can u pls tell me how to do user migration from BW 3.5 to EP .
thanks in advance
nisha

Use Prefs, lockPrefs or defaultPrefs in your file.
lockprefs obviously locks the setting so it can't be changed.
Prefs allows per session changes then reverts back.
defaultPrefs sets the settings and allows user changing.
You will also want to use the mozilla.cfg since we're at 7 now. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
See my prefs question answered brilliantly by cor-el

Hi Bjorn
Thanks for posting your issue,
You need to have permission level of creating sub-sites on the top level site too to be able to create a site in your sub-site.
However, the SharePoint sites are managed by the sites’ hierarchy and every top level site can have several subsites. It is necessary for us to have the corresponding permission on the top level site if we want to create a sub-site in the sub-site of the top
level site.
Also, browse the below mentioned URLs to know about the fixes of this issue

Changes in Active Directory not reflected in SharePoint user info

I have change the manager & name in Active directory but it's not reflecting in sharepoint. I found one command
stsadm -o migrateuser
   -oldlogin <domain\name>
   -newlogin <domain\name>
   [-ignoresidhistory]
But i don't want to do one by one i have many users is there any command for migrate all updated user information

The migrateuser command is really only when a user's ID changes. Making changes such as name and manager should still be reflected under the original ID. If the changes doesn't propagate, ensure that your User Profile Service Sync completed successfully.
Check for errors and address any you find. A successful sync will propagate the changes properly.
Start here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff382639(v=office.15).aspx
I trust that answers your question...

AD User migration to new domain

I have SharePoint site in Domain A with 1000 users. There will be new domain B setup. I need to migrate ShrePoint Site from domain A to domain B. The AD users SID will remain the same. Below are two possible solution
1. Install new SharePoint in Domain A. Restore the site from Domain A to Domain B. Migrate all 1000 users using move-Spuser or Stsadm command.
2. Change the domain for System hosting SharePoint. Then migrate the 1000 users using move-Spuser or Stsadm command
Will the permission remains same in case user is migrated or what can be other issues.
Please remember to mark the replies as answers or vote as helpful if they help.

So one thing to keep in mind is that disjoining/joining SharePoint farms from one domain to another isn't supported. Instead, the general process is to build a new farm in the target domain and recreate it, restoring backups of content/service application
databases as necessary.
Users cannot be moved from one domain to another without a SID change. Part of their SID stems from the domain they're a member of, and that changes when they're moved. There is a function called SIDHistory which stores previous SIDs from previous domains,
and this is commonly used. Despite that, you still need to issue a Move-SPUser, not only because their SID has changed, but because their domain name has changed.
One thing to note is that if you're using a Claims-enabled Web Application, you still must issue -IgnoreSID in the Move-SPUser cmdlet, regardless if SIDHistory is used or not during the migration.

SharePoint 2013 : Migration of customization from development server to production server

Dear all,
I have the following scenario and servers:
1. Development Server; (Server where our developers would develop our dms and/or enhancement based on change request)
2. Test Server; (Test server where our users will test the system (dms) and/or enhancement requested)
3. Production Server (Our production server where only our end users will have access , developers wont have access to this env.)
My question is how to migrate our changes from development server to test server and finally to production server?
Is there a mechanism/ guide /best practice approach for this?
Any help/guide would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks & regards
Vinay

Hi Vinay,
Thanks for posting your issue, Moving stuff from environment to environment will depending on your stuff;
Content, like list items and documents, can't be easily moved. They can be moved with 3rd party solutions, or custom code. You can do it with a C# solution or even using PowerShell.
Stuff like lists, libraries, master pages, CSS, etc. should be packaged in a solution file, either sand box or farm solution. This solution file can contain all of the assets you require, and then it can be deployed into a new environment, which then provisions
all the stuff you need (it could also load up test/sample data if needed)
Another nice solution, if you're working with a brand new site, is to back it up and restore it into another environment. That helps get the bulk of the stuff copied over, and then you can use one of the above methods for continuing updates.
Also, check out below mentioned URL to move content from on environment to another environment

SharePoint Online - Migration tools

Hi All,
We want to migrate a site collection, webparts and content from a SharePoint 2013 Online site to another SharePoint 2013 online site. Could someone give me a few suggestions for a good migration tool. I am currently trialling Sharegate, which looks good,
are there any other?
Thanks
