Site Collections

I need some advice on SharePoint 2013 Search site collections best practices. After setting up my Search Service Application, I created an Enterprise Search center on my application (Central Admin) server. I then created an Enterprise Search Collection site
collection for searching on the <hostname> site. I realized that the People search was not working for this collection (getting page not found errors for peopleresults.aspx) so I followed the instructions in this article: technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh582311(v=office.15).aspx.
I create a new Enterprise Search Collection site collection on the <mysiteshost> web application, and deployed People Search to it. The <hostname> collection still failed on People Search, and the <mysiteshostname> search failed on everything
else. I deleted the <hostname> site collection, and changed all of the search pointers use the <mysiteshostname> search. Now, no search is working for me.
Ideas? Do I need to re-create the site collection for <hostname> and deal with the fact that the People Search does not work? Do I need to delete the site collection on <mysiteshost>, reboot the servers and re-create it? Do I need to kill my
Search Service application, and start fresh?
Thanks for your feedback.

First, you only need ONE Enterprise Search Center site collection. It should be created so it responds on the Web front ends just like the regular hostname site collection. I usually create it on the <hostname> web app in an explicit managed
path called 'Search'. The URL for that search center (with pages library) should be added to the Search service, not another whole site collection.
If People search isn't working check several things
1) make sure you have a working User Profile Service
2) make sure the search crawl account has access to the User Profile service
3) add the mysite host address to the local SharePoint content source in search using an sps3:// protocol.
#2 & #3 should already be there, but its a good idea to check.

SharePoint 2013 site collection search not working but data is indexed correctly.

I am currently having issues with the default search box on a site. No matter what I type in I can not get it to display any information. However, I see the content indexed in the search admin console. I created a new site with the Basic Search Template
and I am able to return items in the site using this site page.
I am looking at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj683115.aspx#BKMK_CreateResutlSource and I must be missing something or doing something wrong because on the site features or site collection features I do not have these settings
"On the Site Settings page,
in the Site Collection Administration section,
click Search Result Sources."
Any advice would be great.

I believe you're right. I have also found some other documentation that has helped me.
Thanks

User Profiles are the wrong style after importing/migrating site collections from other SharePoint versions

I manage a couple of different version of SharePoint, which we are in the process of migrating to SharePoint 2013. I have a problem which I am not sure how to resolve. We are using MetaLogix to migrate site and site collection data from an older SharePoint
2007/WSS3.0 server environment into our new SharePoint 2013 environment and we are having a problem with user profiles that get created.
I have SharePoint 2013 set up for "SharePoint Profile Synchronization" and some of our user's profiles are being created in an older format that shows the user's claims account information, rather than the more fancy profile type that allows us
to include pictures and click on "follow this person" links.
If we manually delete the profile, it will be recreated properly however, as we are migrating many sites and collections over, it is near impossible to do this and keep track of each user so that their profiles can be deleted and recreated.
Is there some way to change this behavior so that SharePoint will only create the newer style of user profile?

These 'profiles' are you looking at them in the User Profile Service Application itself or are you looking at site collections? There is a huge difference between the two but people often miss it.
In most cases you'll have some partial information on the Site Collections but when you click through to their actual profile (not just their User Information List entry) you'll see the prettier version. That information is normally internally synchronised
by a timer job but that may not have run yet and/or the fact that your users haven't actually used the site may be causing it not to update them (it's an efficiency matter).
Finally: Drop your sales guy at Metalogix an email, they will bounce it to one of their techies and they'll have seen it a million times.

Web application and site collection not accessibe

I have created a web application and a site collection. But when I tried to access the site by browser on the server the page cannot be displayed or the server cannot be found. What should I configure? Please say by detailed steps.

I created a host header extranet.xxx.xx and alternate access mapping is ok. But still I'm not able to access the site by http://server name:port no. It gives The web page cannot be found or this web page can't be displayed.
Now when I try with Firefox with http://server name:port no, it gives
"Bad request - Invalid hostname
HTTP Error 400. The hostname is invalid."
More: if I go to Alternate Access Mappings > Add Internal URL:s > Save is grayed out.
You have two options,
Option 1 : Accessing the web application without any host header name and with the port no you have created. (ex: (http://server1:5500 )
Option 2. Accessing it with the host header name (ex:http://mywebapp.contoso.com) you have created for which you need to create a DNS and set an AAM accordingly in the corresponding zone.
For the option no 1. you need to have a host header in IIS which would be created by default while you create a web application and it should be like this unless you did nit change it. http (Type)---blank host name--All Unassigned in the IP section---and
the port no in which you have created.
PS : If you have one more IP address in the server, its good to set the same IP address which is set for server for the name resolution to happen properly.
If you have n't specified the hostheader while creating the web application, then you need to add it manually with the existing one which is there for option no 1. It should be added as below. http---Mywebapp.contoso.com--IP address in which you have created
the DNS and Port 80.
If AAM save is grayed out, check it from some other browser. Also Hostname invalid clearly implies that there is some problem with the name resolution. Check whether you could ping the webapplication from the server where you are trying to access it.

Setup Team Foundation Server - Team Site Collection - SharePoint Web Application Settings failed with error TF205014, TF250025

Hi
I have TFS server installed and working with other SharePoint farm. (TFS installed, SharePoint extension installed and Granted Access for TFS.
When Setup TFS - SharePoint Web Application Settings, It ask for the three values:
Web Application URL:
Central Administration URL:
Default Location of team project collection sites:
What notice about the TFS sites that are working is that they are Path Based Site Collection. Created with SharePoint Web Application managed path (like
http://spserver/sites/tfs_site1) and so it easy to see it will work.
Web Application URL: http://spserver
CA URL :   http://spserver:portnumber
Default Location : Sites or any managed path
We start using Host Name Site Collection (HNSC) to get the benefit of multiple unique site name without having multiple web application for each. Work great but when we tried to setup and extend TFS service on the HNSC, we could
not get them to work and got errors when trying different variation of path URL.
After doing lot of searching on this, I came up pretty empty and I don't know if that is possible so my question is Have anyone able to setup TFS to work with SharePoint 2013 Host Name Site Collection?
If you have, a simple yes will be great but please share or even if anyone think it is possible or not possible, please share too.
Thanks in advance for any comment / suggestion.

Hi Swanl,
I’m afraid that we cannot setup TFS to work with SharePoint 2013 Host Name Site Collection.
Also you can initial a new thread in Visual Studio Team Foundation Server forums：
Team Foundation Server – General: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=tfsgeneral
More experts for Team Foundation Server will assist you, then you will get more information relation to your issue.
For integrating SharePoint 2013 with Team Foundation Server 2013 you can have a look at the following blog:

Create a site collection with dedicated content db with the help of server object model

Hi,
I have a requirement to implement a create a new site collection with dedicated content db. i have got 2 PowerShell scripts which does the same. first i will create a content db and then create the sitecollection with contentdb
parameter with the created contentdb name.
Now the site collection created must contain few doc libs and few splists with look up columns, people picker data type, multiline of text, single line of text,choice field. hence i am thinking the below approach:
1) create a web template and include sp doclibs, splists , site columns in this.
2) i am thinking of a ui design to create the below:
These are called "projects" which is actually the site collection with the doclibs, splists and must be created by sharepoint admin on click of a link in my landing page.end users access these "projects" aka
"site collections" and uploads the documents into these projects and collaborate.
so my question is : On click of a button can I create a site collection with a dedicated content db based on the web template created with the hel of server object model?
The other approach is on click of this button call the power shell script which accepts the sitecollection name and contentdb name as parameter. is this possible in server obj.model ?
passing a paramter from code behind- visual web part ui to power shell ?
and it should create the site collec based on the web template and create the content db.
my doubt #3 : will it not throw error "request timed out" when creating the site collec and contentdb from ui ?

Try below:
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/21606/programmatically-create-a-site-collection-in-an-existing-mounted-content-databa
PowerShell is just a wrapper for the object model. You shouldn't need to reference PowerShell in your feature, just create the new site collection with C# inside your feature. There's a blog post here that illustrates some code that may get you started.

Internet access to new sharepoint foundation 2013 site collection

I had sharepoint 2010 installed on my WHS 2011. I successfuly created a new web application and site collection. I created a new SP default site on a port different from 80 and restarted the WHS 2011 default site in IIS. I could
see both the WHS 2011 and SP 2010 default sites from the server, my client PCs, and from my office. Great!
I uninstalled SP Foundations 2010 and installed SP Foundation 2013. I successfully created a web application on the same port I had used for SP Foundations 2010 because the firewall rule on my server and the port forwarding on my router
where already in place. I again restarted the WHS 2011 default site in IIS. I can see the WHS 2011 and SP 2013 Foundation default sites from the server and my client computers. However, I can't see the SP Foundation 2013 site from anywhere outsite
of my home network.
Help someone?

1. I removed the IIS bindings to port 80 for the home server default site. Now, I can reach my share point default site remotely on port 80 by going to
http://x.home server.com and I can reach the home server default site by going to
https://x.homesever.com/remote on port 443.
2. Using Power Shell I created 3 host named site collections. I put the URLs to those collections in the server hot's file and disabled loopback. I can see the sites on hte server. However, how do I make my sites accessible remotely or maybe the correct
term is publicly on computers outside the network?
3. I started down the road of host named site collections because I want to make them accessible remotely or publicly without using the x.home server.com domain name. However, I am starting to think that I am missing an important piece to making this work.
Thanks

Applying theme to all sites in a site collection SharePoint Foundation 2010

I am working in SharePoint Foundation 2010 and want to apply a theme found in my top level site to all the remaining sites in the site collection. I found the following bit of code on-line and put it in a script:
function Apply-SPTheme([string]$SiteUrl, [string]$webName, [string]$themeName)
$site = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($SiteUrl)
$web = $Site.OpenWeb($webName)
$theme = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities.ThmxTheme]::Open($site,"_catatlogs/theme/" + $themeName + ".thmx")
$theme.ApplyTo($web,$false)
$web.Update()
$web.Dispose()
$site.Dispose()
Apply-SPTheme "https://sitename" "" "themeName"
I call the function in the last line and the web site where I obtained the code indicated that this would put the theme in all other sites. When I run the script I get the follwing message:
You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression. At C:\applyTheme.ps1(the script file):6 char:16
$theme.ApplyTo <<<< <$web,$false>
+CategoryInfo: InvalidOperation: (ApplyTo:String) [], RuntimeException
+FullyQualifiedErrorId:InvokeMethodOnNull
I'm a novice programmer and particularly novice on Powershell. I'm not sure I understand what the problem is or how to fix it.
I'd appreciate any help.

I highly recommend going back to the SharePoint 2010 site and going through all of the fundamentals. If yo allocate an hour a day you should be caught up in two weeks. This will save you hundreds of hours of fishing for solutions.
SharePoint is far too complex to be "guessed" at. You will never guess at its structure. Going through the basics from the ground up will burn the structure of its design into you head. You will then be able to find answers quickly because you
will know the documentation and how to ask the questions.
If you are only a basic Admin then your company should allow the vendor to either do the configurations or pay for you to be trained or compensate you to use your personal time for training. It would be a win for them.
There are many very good books on SharePoint and PowerShell. They are only good if you already have the basics of both. One that I acquired recently is quite good at you level of involvement as it is a cookbook of solutions in PowerShell for
normal configuration and administration items that goes beyond what is available on the web site or in the basic training.
http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTitle/productCd-0470533331.html
I actually have the 2013 version but you should stick to the 2010 version until you are up to speed. I bought 2013 as a catch up. Read it over two long dinners of
Sushi and Sake.
The books run the gamut of SP from planning to admin. They are not technical manuals and not developer books. They are written for general administration, You will read through quickly and then refer back to chapters as needed. As
your SP site evolves the book will help you evolve with it.
Start by becoming extremely familiar with all of the resources on the SharePoint 2010 product site. Post future requests that are SharePoint related to the SP forums. They are very good with PowerShell at this time (three versions but they seem
to have caught up) - They know the product better than most here and are closer to the MS MVPs on SharePoint. If there is a pure PowerShell issue then the people in this forum can very helpful,
Here are all of the SharePoint forums:

How to provide internet access for a site collection in SharePoint Foundation 2010

Hi all,
I am working on SharePoint Foundation 2010. I have to make a site collection available on internet.
Only one site collection is to be brought on internet rest of the site collections should not be accessible from outside.
How do I achieve this. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
As per my knowledge, you have to create new Web Application for your site to publishing it to internet. Since internet settings can be done at web application so create new one and then backup your existing site and restore in new web app.
You can refer below thread for licensing:

Error Accessing Host Named Site Collections In SharePoint Foundation 2013

We have a new SharePoint Foundation 2013 server that has one web application two host named site collections. We get the "This page can't be displayed" message when we try to navigate to either of the site collections. Adding the server's IP to
the host file on the machine we are testing from doesn't help. We can ping the new sites from that machine. The web application does not have a host header.
Web application URL = http://servername
Site collection #1 URL = http://customer.company.com
Site collection #2 URL = http://vendor.company.com

Hi,
I recommend to verify the things below:
Check if site can be accessed with site collection administrator.
Add the SharePoint sites to a trusted zone to see if the issue still occurs.
As this issue can be caused by many reasons, you may check the ULS log for more detailed errors.
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS.
Best regards.

SharePoint PowerPivot feature failing after site collection was backed up and restored (moved to new content database)

Hi there,
I am having some strange issue with my PowerPivot for SharePoint but can't figure out what is causing this. Here is what happened:
I setup PowerPivot (PP) for SharePoint and activate it on few site collections in production environment; I upload a PP workbooks in a library, manage the data refresh schedules, run the data refresh for an external SQL databases, etc. Everything works
fine for several days.
One day we decide the move one of the site collections (X) from its current content database to its own (new) content db. The way we did it is that we took the site collection backup in production, restored it in test environment (in its own content
db; we deleted the old site collection in test first before restoring), checked everything including PP data refreshes etc.; all worked fine.
Then we did the same thing in production - we deleted the old site collection X, restored the site collection from the same backup file that we used in test environment, everything works fine EXCEPT the PowerPivot refreshes!! :-(
I am getting these errors: When I click on the workbook, it gives this error "An error occurred during an attempt to establish a connection to the external data source. The following connections failed to refresh: PowerPivot Data"
When I click OK on error dialogbox, it opens the workbook fine but no slicers/refreshes work now. When I go back to the library and click on "Manage PowerPivot Data Refresh" to open the refresh history/schedule page, it gives this generic but scary
error: "An unexpected error has occurred. Troubleshoot issues with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation." ULSViewer or Event viewer is not showing anything related to this error!
Strange thing is that PP refresh works fine in Test environment, as well as on other site collections in production that we didn't touch (which tells me there is nothing wrong with my PP configuration). Did the backup/restore in prd cause anything? Did moving
it in its own contentdb cause anything? (But then why it works in test environment?) Is there anything wrong with site collection PP feature? Can force reactivating it help??????? I am just lost and going crazy now!
Please help.

SharePoint 2013 site collection 'upgrade completed with errors'

Hi All,
I am in process to upgrade SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013 with all steps as mentioned in TechNet.
I was able to get all the SP2010 UI in SP2013 environment. However, when I navigated to top level site and clicked on “Site
Collection health checks”. In SP2010 environment I never used (as Farm Admin) any Video content type. It belongs
to out-of-the-box "digital asset content types" and cannot be deleted.
Therefore I changed the name of Video to our department name like "Video - Company" and ran the site collection health check again. This time there was no conflict for content types.
After ran the site collection upgrade I got following error.

Thank you.

Hi All and Inderjeet,
Thanks for your reply and pointers.
I did follow the steps as mentioned in the links above. I used some third party solutions but not for any Video solution. I was able to successfully migrated the SP2010 (WSS_Content) to SP2013 (WSS_Content) environment a few weeks back with exactly same
third party solutions and no site collection error:
I renamed the default and out-of-the box video site content type as shown:
I ran the "Site Collection Health Check" and did not receive any error as in my second screenshot.
But, after upgrade the Site Collection Upgrade and got the same errors.
I don't know if there is any SharePoint Server 2013 patch gave this error as I keep run the Windows Server 2012 (not running R2) and SharePoint Server 2013 regularly.
Can suggest how to resolve this error?
Many Thanks!!

How can I create a host name site collection when I have a 443 web application already created for App model?

Hi all,
I have a 2013 farm set up with the App model
1 web application for path based site collection using host name
1 web application with SSL (no host name)
1 web application for mysite
My business request is that I need to migrate SSL enabled 2007 content to this farm and use host name site collections. I tried to create one more web application for this without any luck (the 443 IIS folder is already used by another web application).
I thought I bind the previous 443 web application with another IP address should be fine. Seems like the IIS site is taken (https://server name:443) so it will not let me create one more. How can I solve this problem so I can create the web application
to host those host name site collections? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Sally

Hi Trevor,
Thanks again for your quick reply. I try the option 2 right after your post. I use my front end server name for public URL (https://WFEName:443) and it fails again. The error message is:
The directory C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\443 is already being used by another IIS Web Site. Choose a different root directory for your new Web application.
After reading more, I saw mix Hosted Name Site collection and Path-based site collection aren't recommended. Unfortunately I already have Path-based site collection created with App model web application
(the web application without host name) in my farm. In my Option 2, that web application without host name is used for App routing. This takes the root folder 443 which will not allow any other web application to use the same name again.
Does that mean we can't create Host Named Site collection in the same farm? Is there any configuration I need to check?
Thanks again.
Sally

How to give options to user to select multiple site collection url in sharepoint for a web application.

In my environment, I have one web application, inside which for four different region, we have 4 different site collection. Now head of the company wants, when he logs in , he should get the display of all the four regions urls, and the one which he selects,
should be redirected.
Like, suppose I have a web application named as www.abc.com
Under which I have www.abc.cm/sites/1 and
www.abc.com/sites/2 and so forth.
Now when head of the company access this url www.abc.com , he should get the display to select any one of the, url and should be redirected.
Please suggest how to achieve this.

You have multiple options.
1. You can create a links web part and add the links manually.(As there are only 4 sites)
2. You can automate by using SharePoint designer.
