SharePoint Workspaces 2010

I repaired my Windows 8 Pro installation preserving all my data. I realized too late that all my applications, including SharePoint Workspaces 2010 were deleted. I reinstalled the applications. I had one year old account file for SP Workspaces but my workspaces
are not loading. I can get re-invited to most but one. Is there any way to recover that one workspace?

Hi Marek,
Did you enable any an option to recover the account option earlier ? or did you take any backup of this workspace ?
If yes you can recover it, refer - http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/sharepoint-workspace-help/using-your-account-on-another-computer-in-sharepoint-workspace-2010-HA010283465.aspx

Cannot sync Microsoft Sharepoint workspace 2010 with Sharepoint 2013 site

I keep getting the below error message when I try to sync a doc lib from a sharepoint 2013 site with sharepoint workspace 2010.
The field "AppAuthor" contains a lookup list "AppPrincipals" that cannot be resolved. The target list may not be part of the site
I have uninstalled Lync 2013, uninstalled and re-installed office 2010, 2687364 hotfix yet the issue still persists.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Kind Regards
Louis
thanks

Hi,
Is this issue only occur in one client machine? Can other machines installed SharePoint Workspace 2010 works when perform syncing?
As you have reinstalled the 2687364 hotfix and the issue still exists, I suggest you install Office 2010 SP2 to see if it can work:
32-bit
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39667
64-bit
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39647
Feel free to reply with the test result if the issue still exists.

Cannot checkin/checkout html, js, txt, and jsp files in MS Sharepoint Workspace 2010

I am having issues checkin/checkout html, js and jsp files in Microsoft Sharepoint Workspace 2010. I can access (checkin/checkout) any files in the actual Sharepoint site, but when I am synchronized to the site in Sharepoint Workspace 2010 I cannot access
html, js, and jsp files. When I try to checkout a html file, a message pops up saying:
"Can not perform this operation. This document has been checked out or may no longer exist."
Could this be a synchronization issue, or was Sharepoint Workspace 2010 not design to work with html, js, txt, and jsp files?

How to Export SharePoint Workspace 2010 Lists to Excel

We are using SharePoint WorkSpace as our primary inter-office business repository. Note, we are NOT on a local version of the SharePoint 2010 server, but rather utilize the cloud service on a subscription basis.
The problem we ran into is that there is NO option to grab items in a custom list and select Excel, CSV, XML, etc. as option for export. the ONLY option we have available is the SharePoint WorkSpace 2010 archive format (*.gax). This looks like it is
in some propietary binary format...
I am fairly certain in 2007 and the old "Groove" there was an option to do this? Am I missing something here?

Try below:

Sharepoint Workspace 2010 woes

Hello, I have been trying to use the SharePoint workspace 2010 to upload files to the SharePoint site so my team can access the files remotely. I have been running into an issue where I am not able to view the files that I upload via the workspace
on the site, even after I sync them. The folders are visible but none of the files are. The files are viewable from the workspace. If I upload any files to the site, I am able to view them on both the workspace and the site itself.

Do you have the right link or enough permission to access SharePoint to sync the content from the website?
"I am not able to view the files that I upload via the workspace on the site, even after I sync them. The folders are visible but none of the files are. The files are viewable from the workspace"
In logic, When there is connectivity, the changes made to the local copy of libraries and lists are automatically synchronized with the corresponding items in an associate SharePoint site. SPW 210 treats all local changes as high priority and initiates an
immediate synchronization with SharePoint. When there is no connectivity, changes made in SharePoint workspaces are stored locally. The changes made offline are synchronized automatically the next time the user connects to the server.
Analyze 1: Do you meet the requirement? Regarding the software requirements, a SharePoint Workspace in SPW(SharePoint WorkSpace) 2010 can synchronize only with a site running on Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, SharePoint Foundation 2010, or SharePoint
Online servers.
Analyze 2: Does it only happen when uploading the file? What's the kind of documents you want to upload? SPW 2010 does not support all SharePoint sites. And not all content types of SharePoint lists and libraries as shown below are supported in SPW 2010
either. Calendar, survey, and Wiki are, for example, non-supported types.
There is a lot of factors may causes this, you may visit the link below to get the more reference about this issue.

SharePoint Workspace 2010 still installed after upgrade to Office 2013

I'm working on a deployment of Office 2013 in a corporate environment. Using the OCT, I've customized a package which is working well on machines that don't have previous version of Office installed. However, many of the existing machines currently
have Office 2010. After executing the Office 2013 package, we're noticing that while the upgrade works, SharePoint Workspace 2010 and the Office 2010 Tools still exist in the Start -> Programs menu. I also see Office 2010 in Add/Remove programs
(along with the new Office 2013). The OCT is specifically set to uninstall previous editions of Office during the upgrade (which is the default behavior).
I'll seen a couple of other posts like this on the forum, but unfortunately no answers. How can I *completely* uninstall Office 2010 (including SharePoint Workspace 2010 and the Office 2010 tools) during the upgrade to Office 2013? This
corporation doesn't need SharePoint Workspace 2010; my guess is that it was included by default with the Office 2010 package that they rolled out in the past.
Thanks!

Hi,
By default, the uninstall option in Office Customization Tool (OCT) will not remove SharePoint Workspace 2010 as SharePoint Workspace is no longer include in Office 2013.
Try to create a separate Office 2010 .msp file, set Microsoft SharePoint Workspace and Office Tools to "Not Available" and deploy it
prior to the installation of Office 2013.
Or you can do an Uninstall upgrade. Basically, use the /uninstall [ProductID] command-line option to uninstall Office 2010 from the user's computer first and then after that is finished, install Office 2013.
Here is a great example of how to perform an uninstall-upgrade for enterprise deployments :
http://blogs.technet.com/b/odsupport/archive/2011/04/06/how-to-perform-an-uninstall-upgrade-to-office-2010.aspx (Note, the steps are wrriten for Office 2010, but it holds good for Office 2013.)

Sharepoint Workspace 2010: Absolute path to workspaces folder

I am trying to mount the SharePoint Workspace 2010 workspaces folder on another computer so that I can parse the Excel files stored in it for additional processing. But I am unable to find the full file system path to the workspaces folder. Can someone please
help me find it?
Thanks,
Mahmood

Hi Mahmood,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to find the SharePoint 2010 workspace file location.
The workspace data is stored within the users profile. The default location is %localappdata%\Microsoft\Office\14.0\OfficeFileCache. The files in this location don't look like the actual files, and contain
a lot of metadata.
For more information, you can have a look at the blog:

Cant' Add files to SharePoint Workspace 2010

Hi: I can't seem to find anything online regarding this problem. When in a document library in SPW, I click on the Add documents icon and a file browser window opens. I then select a file from the window and either double-click it or
press the Open button (both do the same). The file browser window then closes but I don't see that the file was added to the folder. I've tried this several times with the same result. What am I doing wrong?
Gary Michalske

Hi Gary,
According to your description, my understanding is that you cannot upload documents to the library in SharePoint Workspace.
Was there any error when you uploading the documents?
I tested the same scenario per your post, however everything worked fine.
I recommend to delete the cache files and re-sync the library with SharePoint Workspace and then add documents to see if the issue still occurs.

Sharepoint Workspace 2010 scanning entire subnet on port 2492

We use Sharepoint Workspace here to sync Sharepoint sites locally to each PC. Some of those machines but not all will scan their entire subnet for port 2492. This is creating a lot of security alerts for us both because of the scanning behavior but also
because we block port 2492. I have read that this port is used for Sharepoint Workspace and I am fine with the client connecting to the server on this port but why are some of the clients scanning all over the place on this port?
Is it possible to configure Sharepoint Workspace to not use 2492 and instead use it's fallback ports of 80 and 443?
If the scanning behavior is due to a setting can we turn that setting off with Group Policy or a registry key or something?

Hello DEngel8956,
As far as I know there is no configuration for this in Groove itself.
Maybe there is some additional information about this in the MS-GRVSSTP open specifications documentation:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc313096(v=office.12).aspx
It is interesting that it doesn't happen on all the machines. Maybe there are some different firewall configurations on those machines? Like you already stated, you need 2492, 80 or 443:

Sharepoint Workspace 2010

Hello
Is it possible to open multiple instances of excel from spw so that I may view different spreadsheets on different monitor screens?
I can do this outside of sharepoint no problem.

Hi bilbonvidia, not sure why this isn't working for you. It works just fine on my end. As a workaround, try right clicking the document name and select "Open with" and choose Excel.

SharePoint Foundation 2010 Workspace problem

I've installed sharepoint foundation 2010 in a Windows server 2008 R2 standard environment. I've added some site collections and added some libraries to the site pages. Ive put in various permissions and groups and tested no problem using
Sharepoint workspace 2010 on a Windows 7 32 bit client.
But when I do a remote desktop connection to another server with 2008 R2 standard installed I can't get Sharepoint workspace 2010 to work properly. It opens an account and connects to my sharepont site but in the pane to the right where I would normally
see library documents listed all that comes up is an error stating - Error: Cannot Display Tool.
Also if I try to sync I get the following error:-
The parameter is incorrect
HResult: 0x80070057 (0x386d7565)
Process: Groove.exe (ID:17936(0x00004610))
No amount of googling has found a solution, no similar postings had any resolutions.
Any help would be much appreciated

My apologies. I'd focused on the error and hadn't adequately read the information you provided on the environment. The issue is probably with using SharePoint Workspace on the remote computer, not with SharePoint Foundation.
Here is what I understand you to be doing:
You use Remote Desktop to connect to the Windows Server 2008 R2 computer, where you log in with your domain account, which is a member of the local Users group.
On the remote computer, you start SharePoint Workspace.
On the Launchbar, you click New, click SharePoint Workspace, select your site, and then click
OK.
The workspace is created and appears (from the progress bar) to download content.
When you click Open Workspace, no content is displayed. Instead, you see the "Cannot Display Tool" error.
Is that correct?
There are three areas where SharePoint Workspace is complicated to run remotely:
Where SharePoint Workspace will be run by a user other than the one installing it, it must not be lauched during the installation. This seems the most likely to be the issue, as we have seen the same failure and error at a customer site where several
users had been given a computer image created on a computer where SharePoint Workspace had been launched before image creation.
Only one user should run SharePoint Workspace (Groove.exe) at a time. (Sometimes multiple instances work, but it's not reliable.)
You need to have a local profile on the computer which is running SharePoint Workspace. SharePoint Workspace is not supported with Roaming or Temporary profiles. Usually, this problem would prevent you from starting SharePoint Workspace, but some
environments with custom permissions can lead to other errors.
SharePoint Workspace uses the current user's permissions for SharePoint server access, In the case of Forms-Based authentication, it prompts for credentials at workspace creation, but then uses the credentials in the active browser session when opening
the workspace. I think this could only be related to your problem if you are logged in as another user in your browser, and that user has access to some, but not all, of the site your workspace connects to.

Sync to SharePoint Workspace with Calculated columns

I have a document library (in a SharePoint 2010 site) with a calculated column that will not Sync to the SharePoint Workspace 2010. Once I remove the calculated column, it syncs fine.
The calculated column displays an image in the document library depending on the state:

Workspace 2010(Groove): Not syncing changes or new documents

Hello
we are having the following two issues:
1) User A added a word document to a space.
User B can not see the document.
User A and other Users can see and open the document just fine.
User B already deleted the Space and downloaded it again.
2) User A edits a excel sheet.
User B the same sheet.
But the sheets do not sync. THe Users only see the changes they make themselves.
Sorry for my English, but can you help?
OS is Windows 7 with latest patches. Office 2010 also with latest patches.
THanks

Hi David,
I understand you are using Groove workspace 2010 and now encountering synchronizing issue. Please refer to the article below and check if User B get "suspended" from the workspace.
If that is the case, please try one of the following:
Download the synchronized workspace data from another computer (if you have
your account on more than one computer) or from another workspace member.
Request a new invitation to the workspace from another workspace member. You might make this request simply by sending a message or e-mail.
