UPRE without My Sites provisioned?

We don't use My Sites, so I never created an application. I want to use UPRE for a High Availability farm to keep User Profiles and Audiences in sync. I'd like to avoid it if possible.
I'm reading
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj891109.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396#replication and preparing to run
Start-SPProfileServiceRecoveryReplication -Destination <String> -FileName <String> -Source <String> [-EnableInstrumentation <SwitchParameter>] [-Properties <String[]>]
Destination and Source are the My Site Hosts for each farm.
Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,
From the parameters of command Start-SPProfileServiceRecoveryReplication in the link below:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff823734(v=office.15).aspx
We can tell the parameter Destination which specifies the URL of the My Site Host to where the user profiles are replicated and
Source which specifies the URL of the My Site Host from where the user profiles are retrieved are both Required.
Please create a new web application dedicated for Mysite host before using UPRE.

Rebecca Tu

Is it possible to run Posture using ISE 1.2 without NAC Agent provisioning?

Is it possible to run Posture using ISE 1.2 without NAC Agent provisioning?
-My customer does not want to push NAC Agent installation on BYOD type of computers (non-managed by the company computers).
-The requirement is to check for posture only company owned wired, wireless, and VPN connected Windows computers. The rest of the endpoints should be considered as posture incompliant, and limited access to the network should be allowed.
-No certificates are used.
-I’ve configured the required posture check, and it all works fine if a PC has NAC Agent manually installed (without ISE Client Provisioning). However, when I use a PC without NAC Agent, it is redirected to Client Provisioning Portal and is stuck there as Client Provisioning is deliberately not configured in ISE.
-If I remove Posture Remediation Authorization Profile that does URL redirect, the posture does not work.
-For now I'm testing it on wired endpoints.
Is there a way to configure ISE to fulfill the listed above requirements?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Val Rodionov

Everyone who finds reads this article,
I'm answering my own quesiton "Is it possible to run Posture using ISE 1.2 without NAC Agent provisioning?"
The answer is Yes.
After doing research and configuration testing I came up with a solution, and it works fine for wired and VPN connections. I expect it to work on wireless endpoints as well.
ISE configuration:
Posture General Settings - Default Posture Status = NonCompliant
Client Provisioning Policy - no rules defined
Posture Policy - configured per requirements
Client Provisioning (under Administration > Settings) - Enable Provisioning = Enable (it was disabled in my first test)
Authorization Policies configured as regular posture policies
The result:
After successful dot1x authentication posture redirect happens. If the PC does not have NAC Agent preinstalled, the browser is redirected to Client Provisioning Portal and a default ISE message is displayed (ISE is not able to apply and access policy... wait one minute and try to connect again...). At the same time, the endpoint is assigned NonCompliant posture status and proper authorization policy is applied. This is what I wanted to achieve.
If NAC Agent was preinstalled on the PC, after successful dot1x authentication the NAC Agent pops up and performs posture check. If posture is successful, posture compliant authorization policy is applied. If posture check fails, NonCompliant posture status is assigned and posture non-compliant authorization policy is applied. Which is the expected and needed result.
The only part that is not perfect it the message displayed to the end-user when posture is about to fail. I did not find a place to change the text of that message. I might need to open TAC case, so this file can be manually found and edited from CLI (root access).
Best,
Val Rodionov

Project Server 2013 - Project Site Provisioning Settings - Do not create a site

Hi,
The Project Site Provisioning Setting "Do not create a site" prevents a site from being created when a project is published. This works, but it still prompts the user with a dialog each time a project is published. In 2007 and 2010, the only
way to prevent this dialog was to deny Manage SharePoint Foundation. In 2010, denying this permission does not have the same effect. Is there any way to keep this dialog from being displayed?
Thanks,
Erik
Erik RHS

Hi Erik,
As far as I know, if you deny the "Manage SharePoint Foundation" permission with Project Server
2010, it does remove the dialog box (see this excellent
blog post). Note that you'll get warning messages in the Queue with Job State - 'Failed but
blocking correlation'.
I remember that Paul Mather, a fellow MVP, created
a macro with custom publish button (the macro suppressed the dialog box).
Hope this helps,

Getting Project Site Provisioning Pop-up even after Operational Policies set as Do not create a sites in project server 2013.

In Project server 2013, users are getting Project Site Provisioning Pop-up even after Operational Policies set as Do
not create a sites.
We can use “Deny” Global Permission, “Manage SharePoint Foundation”, which controls Project site creation/ delete
as temporary workaround however want to know is this know defect in Project server 2013?
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Thank you

Hi Raushan,
I can reproduce the same behaviour in my environment. It pops-up the dialog box when Project Site Provisioning settings set to 'Do Not Create' in the Central admin for the Project Web App.
As you mentioned already you can control it via permissions as an work-around.
Alternatively, you can also ask users to select the check box 'Don't show this again for this project'

Provider hosted app - Site Provisioning activities

Hi ,
I am creating a Provider hosted app which does site provisioning activities like create site , create site columns, content types etc. I have almost 50 or more fields to be added. I am using the Provider hosted app - Process Event, and used SPRemoteEventType
- App Installed.
When the app is installed the above functionalities are done, as I need to code to do these activities synchronously.
I am facing an issue in App Installed event that,during the code execution (consider the field creation method), since it takes some time to add all the fields, after some time limit, the runtime comes to the start point of code execution , which is
creation of token helper, and the methods already executed is also called again.
I have executed the code in Release mode, the logs show the above behavior.
I am not sure how I am getting this weird behavoir.
Please advise.

msdn (Handling events in apps for SharePoint):
Your implementation of the App Installed event must complete and return an SPRemoteEventResult object
within 30 seconds or the SharePoint installation infrastructure will think it has failed. The infrastructure will rerun the event, and repeat your code from the beginning, up to four times. After four timeouts,
SharePoint will roll back the entire app installation. We recommend the following practices:
If there is any code in your handler that should not be repeated after a timeout, put it in a conditional block that tests to see if it has already run. You must test the actual installed component. Simply setting
a variable to true when a block of code completes does not work as a test because all variables are reinitialized when the event times out and restarts.
Move installation code that takes more than 30 seconds into the app itself. You can add it to "first run" logic that executes the first time the app is launched. Alternatively, the app can prompt the
user to run the installation code.
If the preceding bullet item is not feasible for your app, another option is to have your event handler start a remote asynchronous process and then immediately return a SPRemoteEventResultobject.
A weakness of this strategy is that if the remote process fails, it has no way to tell SharePoint to roll back the app installation.

How to Boot DW5 without loading Site Cache?

Is there a way to start/open Dreamweaver 5 without the site cache loading first? I realize it loads because i have the "enable cache" checked, but I'm in a weird situation where the cache takes six hours to load. I need a way to bring up DreamWeaver so i can disable the "eable cache."
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Im runnig Windows 7 professional, if it matters.
Thanks

the cache takes six hours to load
6 hours to load? Literally? How large is the site? What are the computer specs? All the latest updates? 32bit/64bit? Anything more?
I know this isn't a KB article directly related to your problem, but try #12, 4 and 13.

People Search without My Sites

Hi,
We are building our corporate intranet and trying to implement people search in our SharePoint 2013 Enterprise edition environment. The environment has been updated up to August CU and I am implementing host-named site collections. The challenge faced is
that we don’t want to implement My Sites at this point. However all reading material points to having My Sites to implement people search. I have set up the User Profile service and imported users from Active Directory. All I want is to be able to search the
User Profiles and display results. Is there any other option besides implementing My Sites? Would setting up the My Site host collection without actually setting up My Sites do the trick?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Mera

You need to setup a MySites host in order to take advantage of profiles. You do not need to have mysites enabled for people search to work. If you're worried about MySites being enabled you can keep self site creation turned off and turn off
the social features.

Move a site from one Mac to another without losing sites already there

I would like to move a site from one Mac to another without losing the websites that I have already built on the other Mac. Transfering the Domain file is not helping. Is there away to open the new domain file and adding those sites to the domain file associated with this copy of iWeb? I have searched the discussions but am not seeing any clear answers. They all seam to invilve new users or losing the sites already on that mac.

I seem to have solved my own problem. This may help other users. I found a tip and a web page that suggested moving the Domain File from the application support folder to another on the desktop on one of the computers and then putting the 2nd Domain File from the other computer in a separate folder on the desktop. This is because you can not change the name of the Domain File . Then by double clicking the Domain File with the site wanted, iWeb opens with that set of sites.
I started with what was to be the new master Domain File and stated a new site with a blank page. saved, did not publish and closed iWeb. Opened from the other Domain File and then clicked and opened the site and page I wanted, then selected all, copied all and closed iweb. Went back to the master Domain File , opened iWeb using that, went to the blank page and pasted in the page from the other Domain File from the other computer. Saved, closed iWeb and repeated till I had all pages. Changed the names to match the sites and Pages. I did not allow iWeb to publish during this process. Took all of 10 minutes and I now have a Domain File with all the sites in one place. I then copied this file back into its original location in Library/application support/iWeb on both computers. I now have all sites in iWeb on both computers.

PS2010 - Project Site Provisioning Settings - Project Site Permissions

If the option is selected, are there any projects that will not have the permissions synced to the project site? I would like to not update the security on the 5000+ closed/completed project sites as this takes an excessive amount of SQL resources,
especially when the Team Members group has grown to more than 500 users.
I changed the Team Members category setting of 'View Project Sites' to unselected so changes to the group membership will not initiate a bulk project sync. This was bringing my server to its knees. Site sync now takes only a few seconds to reset
security for ~40 users (per site).
If Project Mangers membership changes, the auto-sync will initiate over 5000 jobs to have all users removed and readded back to each project site. Even at 90 seconds per site, this will take hours and block the queue. If I could instead have
it only sync against the Active or at least non-archived project the time would be reduced to less than an hour.

Hi Greg,
Project Server Sync will be for all the users if a ERP Sync or User Sync is invoked. However you can perform a Site Synchronization from Project Sites link in Server Settings.
Ideally, it would be best if you can take a backup of the closed or completed projects so that the backup is available in Archive DB. Once the backup is complete delete these projects from the Draft and Published DB's.
This should meet your requirements and also will have less number of projects in display whenever a user is trying to work on any of the projects.

Publishing site without ALL sites being re-published

I have four web sites published with iWeb. Each has multiple pages. When I work on a particular site and then hit the publish button at the bottom of the page iWeb goes in and publishes ALL the pages on ALL the sites even though they are up to date. This takes ages of course.
Then when I reply to the message 'your site has been published' etc. etc. and click on Visit it always goes to the first site in my list NOT the one I have just updated and published.
I am publishing to a .Mac account
The solution is right under my nose I am sure - I'm just not too computer savvy.
Thanks for any help.

I have four web sites published with iWeb. Each has
multiple pages. When I work on a particular site and
then hit the publish button at the bottom of the page
iWeb goes in and publishes ALL the pages on ALL the
sites even though they are up to date. This takes
ages of course.
That's the way iWeb works with multiple sites in the same Domain file. The only way to truly publish sites independently would be to keep your sites separate in multiple Domain files.
Then when I reply to the message 'your site has been
published' etc. etc. and click on Visit it always
goes to the first site in my list NOT the one I have
just updated and published.
Yep, that "Visit" button is just like typing in your short iWeb URL... http://web.mac.com/yourname ... this always takes you to the default start site...not the most recently published page. Again, this is the expected behavior or iWeb.

Project Server 2010 / Sharepoint 2010 Permissions not syncing to Project Site

Project Permissions not syncing to Project Site
Project Manager Group
New project is created and published project server sends permissions to Sharepoint which puts users into the following groups:
<dir><dir></dir></dir><dir><dir>
Web Administrator (Microsoft Project Server)
Project Managers (Microsoft Project Server)
Team members (Microsoft Project Server)
Readers (Microsoft Project Server)
At this time the creator/owner, owner’s management, portfolio managers, and executives should all have Project Manager rights on the sharepoint site, and Admins will have Web Admin permissions.
Issue #1: Only the Web Admin permissions and creator/owner permissions are being added to the Sharepoint permission groups
Workaround #1: Going into the project site permissions and adding the
Project Managers (Microsoft Project Server) group manually and the sync will keep the permissions
Workaround #2: Going into the Server Settings, Manager Groups then removing or add all users to the No Permission Group, which forces an sync to all workspaces. Con: This workaround can only be down at night when users are not active since it will
block the queue for at least an hour.
Project Owner Transfer
Previously created project has owner change, once saved and published project server sends permissions to update user’s permission to
Project Managers (Microsoft Project Server) on Sharepoint project site.
Issue #2: When Project owner is changed and project is published the owner is not getting permissions to the Sharepoint project site. However, if owner is also added to the team using the Build Team Feature the sync will give the owner Project
Manager permissions on the Project Site.
Workaround #1: Going into Server Settings, Project Sites, select project and Synchronize. Once this is done, the owner will have Project Manager Permissions without being added to the team.
Users who have been added to this project in Project Server 2010, but not assigned to tasks. Users who have assignments in this project in Project Server 2010 and are contributors to the project workspace site,
meaning that they can create and edit documents, issues, and risks. Users who have published this project or who have
Save Project permission in Project Web App and are contributors to the project workspace site, meaning that they can create and edit documents, issues, and risks. Users who have
Manage SharePoint Foundation permission in Project Web App and are contributors to the project workspace site, meaning that they can create and edit documents, issues, and risks.</dir></dir>

By default when you create project build team add users in the task and publish the project plan then All the User which are available in the project plan including Project owner will go to below mentioned group in project site:
1. creator/owner, owner’s management, portfolio managers, and executives should all have Project Manager will get access to Project Managers (Microsoft Project Server)
2. User who are having team member access to PWA will get Team members (Microsoft Project Server) access if they are assigned to the project task.
3. User who are having team member access to PWA will get Readers (Microsoft Project Server) access if they are not assigned to the project task.
4. Only PWA Administrator will get the access to Web Administrator (Microsoft Project Server)
Sharepoint permission you have to use when you want to give permission manually to users on project site
In the Project Site provisioning setting under Server setting if you have Check to automatically synchronize Project Web App users with Project Sites when they are created, when project managers publish projects, and when user permissions change in Project
Server.
Then all the user get access as per describe above and if you will give access manually to any of the user either in project server group or in Sharepoint group once you will publish the project next time all the manually given permission will go away.
IF you want to give permission to user manually to sharepoint group or project server group then uncheck automatically synchronize Project Web App users with Project Sites when they are created, when project managers publish projects, and when user permissions
change in Project Server.
You check PWA site setting --> Site permission then member of Sharepoint group user who will have access to sharepoint group in PWA site setting site permission will have access to all the project site sharepoint group as Project site inherit permission
from PWA root site.
Both the issue which you have described is behavior of project site.
For issue 2 when first time project owner create and publish the project and projectsite is getting created then porject owner name gets access in the porject manager (project server group) nect time if you will change the owner and publish the project
until he will not present in the project plan will not get the permission.
If you want to give sharepoint permission to users then uncheck automatically synchronize Project Web App users with Project Sites when they are created, when project managers publish projects, and when user permissions change in Project Server and give
the permission manually.
Project site in 2010 has some issue and not full filling customer need some time ,Ms has came up with 2013 which is having tight integration with project sites .
Project workspace security groups are equal to the SharePoint Server 2010 security groups.
Web Administrator equals Full Control
Project Managers equals Design
Team members equals Contribute
Readers equals Read
Users who have Manage
SharePoint Foundation permission in Project Web App and are contributors to the project workspace site, meaning that they can
create and edit documents, issues, and risks will get access to Web Administrator (Microsoft Project Server)

Site to Site Replication only works for a few hours in the morning (each morning)

We have been fighting an odd active directory replication issue for over a month now and I am hoping that someone can provide some insight. We have 5 AD servers in the following orientation...
Site HQ
- PRIME running Windows 2008 R2
- AD2 running Windows 2008 R2
Site COLO
- AD3 running Windows 2008 (not R2)
- AD3NEW running Windows 2008 R2
Site BRANCH
- AD4 running Windows 2008 R2
The domain is at the Windows 2008 Functional Level.
There are always on site to site VPNs between all 3 sites and IP Intersite Transports Site Links defined for all 3 possible connections with Cost of 100 and interval of 15. Each IP site link is configured with a schedule of available all day long.
Every day the following sequence of events happens...
* Somewhere between 6:30 and 7:30am all the servers start to sync with each other perfectly. We can make AD changes and they replicate across all servers without issues. During this time all the repadmin commands work well across all servers.
* Typically somewhere in the 10:30 to 11:30am time frame we start to get errors replicating data - specifically between the HQ and COLO sites. This manifests itself as Event 1232 Call Timeout from the DC RPC Client and and Event 1925 from the KCC. Additionally
repadmin commands fail when attempting to connect to the BRANCH servers.
* For the rest of the day the intra-site replication between PRIME and AD2 work fine - and periodically the BRANCH AD server is updated as well. But the COLO sites remain unreplicated and continue to get errors for the remainder of the day. While this down
- the ability to ping and remote desktop between the servers is perfectly fine - so even if there were a network hiccup that happens - the network is stable for hours without the sites recovering.
* Magically the next morning around 6:30 and 7:30am all the servers are able to replicate without issue and we get 3-5 hours of immediate replication and then it happens again.
As I stated above - there is always on site-to-site VPN connections between all 3 sites that are actively monitored by PRTG. These connections remain open all day long. The Site topology has the COLO servers attempting to replicate with the HQ servers -
and both sites have 100MB data connections that remain active during the entire time. Additionally PRTG bandwidth monitoring shows that these links have no spikes in traffic anywhere near the max capacity of those links during the time that the outages begin
nor during the rest of the day.
Does anyone have any insight as to why these servers would stop communicating with each other about the same time every day and report errors? Also why it would magically start to work again each day without any changes being made to the network or the AD
configuration?
This has been going on for over a month now. When it first started to happen we had 1 Windows 2008 server and 2 Windows 2003 servers in the HQ. We phased out the Windows 2003 servers and upgraded the functional level to Windows 2008 - that did not solve
the problem. We tried to put a new Windows 2008 R2 server out at the COLO site hoping that if it was limited to the other server then only the one server would be impacted. But now they both appear to be having connectivity issues at the same time.
It is as if there is one hung connection that is blocking all the other syncs to this site and then someone each morning that bottleneck is released.
Thank you in advance for any direction you can provide.

As was stated above - ALL Domain Controllers have direct access to each other through Firewall to Firewall site to site VPNs and the Inter-Site Transport Links mirror that setup. So from the OS perspective any of the AD servers can directly connect to any
other one.
There are 3 IP Inter-Site Transport Links defined
HQ < - > COLO (Contains HQ and COLO sites) Cost 100 Replication Interval 15
HQ < - > BRANCH (Contains HQ and Branch sites) Cost 100 Replication Interval 15
COLO < - > BRANCH (Contains COLO and Branch sites) Cost 100 Replication Interval 15
And on IP Inter-Site Transports "Bridge all site links" is enabled (although disabling it doesn't fix this problem as we have already tried that).
Right now the servers are claiming (via Active Directory) to be unable to replicate with each other. But I am able to do direct pings as well as open stream sockets using "telnet <otherserver> <port>" on ports 3268 (gc), 88 (kerberos),
389 (ldap), 135 (replication), 636 (ldap ssl), 53 (DNS). So there is nothing that I can see between the servers that is blocking TCP connectivity.
I cannot seem to make this any clearer. The sites are 100% functional and responsive for several hours per day - and then mysteriously go into a state of complete denial for a lack of a better word for the rest of the day - only to return back to normal
again reliably each morning.
It is as if the sites get into a mode where something in the RPC area are simply refusing to talk to each other despite the servers having full access at the network level.
Another data point to add to this mystery. While it is in the state where the HQ and COLO servers are refusing to sync with each other. You can launch the AD Users and Computers snap-in, right mouse click on the domain, change the Current Directory server
and all 5 servers show up as ONLINE. You can pick any of them (including the one that is unable to replicate with) and make a direct change on that server.
So while the servers are complaining about being unable to talk to each other - the snap in is connecting between those servers and is able to modify it without issue.
Conversely - when the replication is failing the DNS management tool is unable to connect to the remote servers (i.e. COLO can show itself and the other COLO server. HQ can show PRIME, DC2, and DC4 without issue. But no overlap).
Not sure that helps at all - but shows our frustration when two servers refuse to replicate but you can easily remote connect from one to the other and make the change.

How do I create a project site after I publish a project in Project Server 2013?

How do I create a project site after I publish a project from project pro 2013 in Project Server 2013? I'm trying to look for an option in the ribbon but haven't found any.
Thanks
James T.F

Hi James,
See in the article the procedure for site provisionning settings.
Note that the project site is created based on the template associated to the chosen project type (EPT) when the user first publishes his project. Be aware that if you allow the user to choose weither or not he'll create a sharepoint site when publishing
his project, he will be prompted in Project Pro with a dialog box giving the choice to create or not the site.
Hope this helps,

How do I remove old web site when publishing new site with same URL in iweb? Hit replace when publishing new iweb site (so we could have control over changes) but new site name is attached to old via a / after our www address we want to keep.

I hit the replace when publishing the new iweb site (so we could have control over changes - last one was not an apple based site) but new site name is attached to old via a forward slash and underscore after our www address. Makes it very messy with a very long web address. Original address now followed by iweb site name followed by name of first page? Went for iweb as not that computer literate - all going so well?! Cheers for help in anticipation. Have to get off to work now but be great end to week if we could be sorted tonight. Rupes

Well yes of course, if you try and publish through iWeb there won't be an option to publish without your site folder which is exactly why I told you to download Cyberduck and use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server having published your site from iWeb to a local folder. That is what you need to do if you don't want your site name to be included in yoru url.
It would have been easier also if you had used Cyberduck initially to connect to your server and delete your old site yourself - at least that way you would have deleted the correct files rather than relying on your hosting service to do it and doing it incorrectly.
Download Cyberduck and then select the publish to a local folder option from iWeb and then use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server, but rather than uploading the whole site folder and separate index file, upload ONLY the contents of your site folder and then your url will be http://www.domain.com/page_name.html.
It really isn't rocket science!
