Sharing a SharePoint synchronized libary accross a LAN

Hello there
I have a question I need to clear up regarding a SharePoint online subscription. For security reasons we don't wish to allow syncing of document libraries on users laptops for use away from the office.
If I download OneDrive for Business to our local SBS 2011 machine and then sync a document library, can I then share that library (SharePoint folder) across the network for others to open and edit documents? That way the server will sync
to the cloud and not the users machines. I could run a test, but thought I would ask the question first
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Technically you should be able share the folder you are syncing, but I'm not 100% sure that the sync service will run while the user on the SBS server isn't logged in. You should test that first.
When thinking about security, have you considered implementing Office 365 Rights Management or Azure Rights Management? That would secure your files, and you should not fear the synchronization outside your network at all.

Does Tiger require ownership (and sharing) of wired printers on a wireless LAN? My G4 (Tiger) is also wired to the LAN, and can access all wired printers through the router. Wireless Macs cannot even find the printers.

Does Tiger require ownership (and sharing) of wired printers on a wireless LAN? My G4 (Tiger) and all printers are wired to the LAN, and the G4 can access all printers through the router. Additional wireless Macs (Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion) cannot even find the printers. Yet, if the G4 shares the printers, then ALL computers on the LAN can access them. However, this requires the G4 to remain powered. Is there a workaround that would allow me to shut down the G4 and still use the printers?

Hello BDAqua!
Well, I am halfway there. Following your steps on the Snow Leopard MBP, the newer printer (a Canon MX860 inkjet) appeared automatically under the "default" icon on the ADD printer window. I used the IP icon with the HP Jetdirect-Socket protocol to find and add the older printer, (an HP 4000N). That required running a configuration page from the printer to locate its IP address. I printed to both printers through this laptop with success!
I then followed exactly the same procedure with the Mountain Lion MBP. For both installation attempts, I got an error message window: Unable to verify the printer on your network. "192.168.111" may not exist or is unavailable at this time. Would you still like to create the printer? If I click Continue, it creates the icon and name in the printer list. However when I attempt to print from an app. the next message says, 'Printer is unavailable.'
Why one laptop finds and uses both printers, and the newer laptop does not, just floors me!
Thank you for your ongoing assistance.

Network File sharing in SharePoint 2013 portal

Hi Everyone
I have a set of network folders(shared folder in some server) and want to make use of all this in SharePOint as a portal. So that i can eliminate the use of Network folder sharing concept. Bacially i need to know whether we have any OOB template/s available
in SharePoint 2013 or its a custom development ?

Hi Prashanth,
There are multiple ways to move content from fileShares to SharePoint.
Step 1: Create the SharePoint Information Architecture - create a site collection preferably chose a document center template, create document libraries and folders as per the network folder structure in your organization.
Step 2: Map your File Share as Network drive in your client machine, and same way map your SharePoint website document library as network drive too. Drag and drop files.
Note there are 2 issues for this approach,
1) your document metadata will be lost, the last modified by will change to the account with which you have logged into SharePoint while copying, and the last modified time will be changed.
2) Its a tedious manual approach if you have lots of files.
Now for retaining the metadata you will need to depend upon a 3rd party tools ( or this codeplex solution: http://f2sp.codeplex.com/ (I havent verified that this works with Sp 2013 or not).
Using 3rd party tools has the advantage of retaining metadata and any issues with file naming conventions will also be taken care of most of the prominent tools which otherwise needs to be taken care by administrator manually. - Note SharePoint has file
naming conventions - https://support2.microsoft.com/kb/905231?wa=wsignin1.0.
Also In order to reduce the effort in second step you can also create content organizer rules and map your drop off library as the drag and drop location.
finally do read this awesome blog post by Sean Earp and Andre Kieft before starting of with the project. http://blogs.technet.com/b/ptsblog/archive/2013/11/04/migrating-file-shares-to-sharepoint-online.aspx
Hope that helps.

File Sharing with SharePoint

Dear friends...
i need advise from all of you.. i am not frm SP... i have a requirement from my client where they want to use a file sharing / DMS system which can provide them versioning .. access over Internet(Secure) may be with dual level authentication.. and first
thought comes in my mind is about SP.. but the initial question to do this the server which will host this will be a standalone machine and is not a part of any other domain.. so can all this be achived on a standalone / workgroup machine.. if yes.. can you
guys please guide me on this.
Thanks

Hi
I agree with
Alex Brassington, but keep in mind that installing SharePoint on only one machine is a solution only for testing , or for very small env <100 users

Help with sharing/networking an encrypted sparseimage on a LAN

I have 4 macs on an ethernet/Airport LAN, one running Lion and 3 running 10.6.8. I have an encrypted sparseimage in a 10.6.8 MBPro which I want the other computers to open and access over the LAN. When the image is mounted on one computer the others will get a message that it cannot be shared now. If I dismount it I can open it on a remote computer. I can see it on only 1 computer at a time. I have marked the mounted image and marked it shared and have even tried changing permissions for everyone to read and write.
I had this image on a machine running Tiger and did not have this problem. The mounted birtual drive could be mounted on all the computers at the same time.
The actual file exists on a User who is not an admin. I have tried putting the sparseimage in her public folder and in the Users/Shared folder without help.
What am I doing wrong?
TIA,
Bill

I have 2 iPads, and instead of using only one Apple ID, we set up each iPad with its own ID, and have purchased the same apps for both iPads. Is there a way to share apps from both iPads,
No - not now. You set them up with different Apple ID's. If you had set them up with the same Apple ID from the start - you could share all of the purchased apps across as many iPads as you like. The apps purchase are tied to that Apple ID and iTunes account. So if you buy App "A" for one iPad - you can't share it twith the second iPad because that iPad is linked to a different Apple ID.
can I set up one Apple ID and use both iPads for that Apple ID? If I do set up an Apple ID for both iPads to share, will I lose all the apps on both computers, or is there someway to save apps from both iPads and then download them later?
Yes you can set up one ID and use it on both. Yes you will lose the apps from if you create a third ID.

Home sharing not work over d-link router (lan - wi-fi)

I have d-link dsl-2640u. It has 4 Ethernet ports and wi-fi AP. My iTunes is installed on pc that connected to d-link through Ethernet. And I have iPad connected to the d-link via wi-fi. So, the library that is shared on my pc, don't showing up in the iPad. But when I unplug LAN cable from pc and then plug the wi-fi adapter in, and connect to d-link wi-fi - all work fine. All devices use 192.168.1.1-10 ip. Can anybody help me? How provide sharing from the ethernet to wi-fi.

I solved the problem! First of all, i installed the latest firmware for the DSL-2640u.
The Next steps include the following:
1. Turned of the firewall in WAN interface
2. Enable "Bridge PPPoE Frames Between WAN and Local Ports" in WAN interface.
3. Enable "Enable WAN Service" & "Enable IGMP Multicast"
4. Advanced Setup->LAN-> Enabled "Enabled IGMP Snooping"
5. Advanced Setup->Interface Group. Group "default" include Wireless(SSID1), LAN1, LAN2, LAN3, LAN4
6. Wireless -> wireless bridge -> Bridge Restrict turned to "disabled"
Last steps (maybe, its not necessary)
1. Advanced Setup->NAT -> Virtual Servers -> ADD TCP/UDP port 3689 & ADD UDP port 5353 for 192.168.1.2
2. Advanced Setup->NAT -> Port Triggering -> ADD TCP port 3689 & ADD UDP port 5353
3. Advanced Setup->NAT -> DMZhost -> ADD 192.168.1.2 (my pc IP-adress)

Windows Sharing problem from WLC 5508 to wired LAN

Dear All,
I'm having problem with windows sharing (file/printer sharing) from Wireless lan client which is connected to AP3500 and
WLC 5508 then to Nexus 7010. It's already using ip command, for example \\192.168.84.65
WLC os version 7.0.116.0 (using AP groups)
Nexus os version 4.2(6)
The weird thing is i can connect using windows sharing from wired LAN to wireless user however not vice versa.
for better explanation, here are the scenarios
1. Wireless lan to wired LAN using windows sharing - failed
1. Wired LAN to Wireless lan using windows sharing - success.
I've been analyzing by making sure that all the to end, there would be no firewall within source pc(s) and destination pc(s) and also
the ACL inside Nexus.
Been dying here to find solution for this, due to the customer is using it for file and printer sharing service.
Anyone has idea to solve this problem, i'm looking forward for any suggestion coming.
Arrai.

Peer to peer within wlc is using default setting which is allowed and as you may know, peer to peer permission only related between wireless client not wired one. CMIIW.

Sharepoint Internet publishing dmz and lan

we have provided below list to Operation to configure dmz and lan envoirnment
dmz server was not on domain they faced issue to put dmz on domain they have to open on firewall any from
dmz to active directory is there any port we are missing below if we have to have communication from DMZ to db/application server
MCTS,ITIL

WFE -> DB only requires 1433 (or the assigned port) and 1434/udp if using a random port. WFE -> WFE communication is what leverages 32843/32844 (service calls).
Outbound email must be port 25, unless you configure an anonymous relay that SharePoint can communicate to over port 25.

Whenever a user opens a document shared our SharePoint intranet he is prompted if he wants to open or save the file

We have a SharePoint intranet we use to share documents. I have a user that every time he tries to open an Office document from this site, he receives the prompt: "Do you want to Open or Save this file?". If he opens the file and updates it,
the changes are saved locally on his computer and not onto the website.
The issue doesn't seem to be the site or his permissions because if he tries to do this using my computer instead, he is able to open the file, update it and the updates are saved directly onto the website. It only happens from this specific PC.
The PC is running Win7, IE9 and Office 2010 (same as mine). I also compared the configuration for the different security zones between the 2 PCs and they look the same (internet, intranet and trusted sites). I'm thinking there must be a setting
configured differently somewhere in his IE but I'm not sure what else could be causing his computer to behave differently than mine when performing this task. Any advice would be appreciated...

Hi,
Did you mean that you wanted to pop up the dialog of "You are about to open: <Name:file name><From:web site>,How would you like to open this file:Read Only, Edit", update the file and save it back to the current SharePoint library ?
Please check two points below,
Check and make sure add-on "SharePoint OpenDocuments Class" is enabled via IE9(32-bit version) Tools->Manage add-ons from your user's PC. if it doesn't appear, please repair or change the Office 2010 from Control
Panel, make sure to install Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support within
Office Tools per this
article.
If add-on "SharePoint OpenDocuments Class" has beed enabled, you need to check and disable the the Word
Protected View per this
article, then check result again.

Synchronizing Files Over a LAN&mdash;What's Best?

We're a small outfit trying to figure out the best way to work locally, yet keep our files synchronized on a central server without having to invest in a CMS. Simply trying to remember to copy the file over to the appropriate folder on the network doesn't work. How best to go about it just using the Mac Finder or something cheap and easy?
Our setup is fairly simple and straightforward. There are two Mac workstations, with our files on a central Synology NAS drive, which is also used by other parts of our organization for their purposes. We both have Time Machine backups to our local machines using external hard drives attached to each of them respectively. (As an aside, I am wary of backing up to the NAS drive using Time Machine because I don't want to cause problems for the other departments in our organization who also rely on using space on the drive.) I like this setup because were I to do the obvious thing and work off the NAS drive, it slows me down, even over Gigabit Ethernet (Word is especially awful in this regard).
So the question is, how do my colleague and I keep files we work on (the same file) locally synced on the network?

You say you are not an audiophile but you own a pair of AKG Q701s--pretty respectable kit if you are listening to 256kbps iTunes and, frankly, a waste of cash. You will not get your money's worth out of such a nice set of cans without a headphone DAC / amp. so I think you raise a good question.
I have a DAC/headphone amp (Nuforce Icon HDP) hooked up to a Mac Mini used as a music server then out to my ancient Hitachi main amp via USB2. I ripped CDs into lossless format (limited by CD format of 44.1 khz / 16bit) and iTunes is aided by a third party piece of software called Bitperfect (in the app store $4.99). That may be an option for you though it sounds like $500 is too much for your purposes. If not...
I play the same lossless library from my iPad and iMac using a tiny but excellent portable DAC/amp called the Fiio E10 (only US$80). Check out this review. Again you use your USB to output from the Mac. I would avoid the headphone jack unless you are using the optical option built-in. If you are not an audiophile but want to improve your sound considerably for little cash then this, for me anyway, has been a good solution. Again, lossless is the way to go. I do not buy iTunes anymore--life is too short to listen to compressed tunes, esp. Jazz, solo piano or string quartets. One extra tip--avoid the digital volume control in iTunes. Go into MIDI settings and turn the volume up to 100% then use the DAC/ Amp to control the volume. Here is a helpful article from Benchmark.
Cheers.

Personal File Sharing

I have a small office network setup with 8 macs. I'm currently using personal file sharing within the network. Sometimes I can not tell who is connected to which machine at any given time.
When I go to shut my machine down, I'll get the message "There are X users connected using apple file sharing. Are you sure you want to shut down?"
#1 How can I tell who is connected?
#2 Is there a way that I can force them to disconnect from my machine?
Thanks

No need to "install" Sharepoints, you just run it once to set the type of logging you want in it's AFS Properties, then you use AFS Monitor to easily check the Logs to see who is or has been doing what.
No need to change Sharing with Sharepoints unless you want to finely tune your sharing.

Excel files with fields linked to other excel files take a long time to open from SharePoint library

Trying to track a problem for a user.
Most of the documents opened from our SharePoint libraries appear to open in a timely fashion.
But...one user has noticed an issue, and I just noticed something with her files that are a little less common than other stuff we've seen.
she has a lot of pricelist excel files. there are some master price list files, and then other files that link to fields from within the master files.
the files that contain links to other files appear to be the ones that open very slowly.
the files are being opened via excel itself, not the owa viewer or editor.
is there a trick to setting up either the library, the site, site collection or web app... or some client-side setting that affects how quickly/efficiently excel will open files that link to other excel files shared within sharepoint?

Hi carphuntin_god,
According to your description, my understanding is that when you click a hyperlink which redirect to other files , the file are opened very slowly via excel client.
How about you download the same file and open it using excel client? If it is opened quite fast, the issue should be caused by some third-party add-ins in the office program or antivirus soft.
Here is a similar thread you can have a look:

If you want to open the files using excel service after click the link in the excel file, you can create the hyperlink in the following way:
General Syntax:
http://<server_name>/<site_name>/_layouts/ xlviewer.aspx?id=<workbook path>&range=<location>
For example:
http://CorpServer/DeptA89/_layouts/ xlviewer.aspx?id=http://Mfct/Stats/Shared%20Documents/Parts.xlsx&range=Widgets!A1:F25
For more information:

If you want to open the files using Office Web Apps after click the link in the excel file, you can create the hyperlink in the following way:
http://<server name> / <site name> / <library name>/<your file name> ?web=1
For example:
http://sp/Shared%20Documents/exceltest.xlsx?Web=1

OneDrive for Business iPad App with on-premise SharePoint 2013

I don't know if this has more to do with OneDrive for Business or SharePoint 2013 itself.
Basically we are trying to log into OneDrive for Business on the iPad app but it says "Sorry, this app doesn't support this type of authentication"
We are using Claims Based Authentication with our On-premise SharePoint 2013 environment, which according to this table is a supported method: h**p://office.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-sharepoint-online-enterprise-help/use-the-onedrive-for-business-app-on-an-iphone-or-ipad-HA104005688.aspx#_Supported__authentication
We have tried different combinations of the username and url. Windows username, DOMAIN\username, email address, username@domain, etc. nothing seems to work.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

according to office blog, it does support SharePoint on prem with following authentication(NTLM & FBA)
Introducing OneDrive for Business for iOS v1.2
Q. Does this announcement apply to customers who have deployed SharePoint 2013 on-premises?
A. Yes. The OneDrive for Business for iOS v1.2 app does support some SharePoint on-premises configurations (NTLM & FBA). We are committed to providing customers access to their OneDrive for Business in SharePoint 2013 on-premises. We also recently introduced
new capabilities in SharePoint 2013 SP1 to more seamlessly connect on-premises investments to OneDrive for Business in Office 365. More information to be shared at SharePoint Conference 2014 (March 3-6 in Las, Vegas); we will link to the relevant information
once it has been posted next week.

Sharepoint Foundation 2010 and Large Media Files?

I have already seen links giving instructions in how to raise the default 50MB upload limit to up to 2GB, but it doesn't seem like a good idea based on all the caveats and warnings about it.
If we need to occasionally allow access to external SharePoint users to files of size much larger than 50MB (software application installation files, audio recordings and video recordings) despite most documents being much less than 50MB (Office documents)
what is the best solution that does not involve using third party external services such as OneDrive, Azure or Dropbox because we must host all of our files on premises.
The SharePoint server is Internet accessible, but it requires AD authentication to log in and access files.
Some have recommended file server shares for the larger files, but the Internet users only have AD accounts that are used to access the SharePoint document libraries, but they do not have VPN that would be needed to access an internal file share.
I have heard of FTP and SFTP, but the users need something more user-friendly, doesn't require anything applications than their browser and that will use their existing AD credentials and we need to have auditing of who is uploading and downloading files.
Is there any other solution other than just raising the file limit to 1 or 2GB just for a handful of large files in a document library full of mostly sub 50MB files?

I had a
previous post about performance impacts on the upload/download of large content on SharePoint.
Shredded storage has got little to do with this case, as it handles Office documents shared on SharePoint, being edited on Office client, and saving back only the differences, therefore, lightening up the throughput.
These huge files are not to be edited, they're uploaded once.
It's a shame to expose this SharePoint Farm on the extranet, just because of a handful of huge files.
Doesn't the company have a webserver on the DMZ hosting a extranet portal ? Can't that extranet portal feature a page that discovers those files intended to be downloaded from the outside, and then, act as a reverse proxy to stream them out ?
Or, it may be a chance to build a nice Portal site on SharePoint.

MacBook Air DVD or CD Sharing on different subnets

I'm an admin testing the MBA and trying to figure out how to get a shared CD from my MacPro on a LAN subnet shared to the MBA on a Wifi subnet. I have multiple VLAN's across the enterprise and was wondering if remote disc only used the auto discovery feature within the same subnet. Can someone please clarify?

Ah well forget it, found my answer here.
