User missing from all site collections but present in User Profile (Central Admin)

I have a user who does not show up in "People and Groups" (or if I search for this user) in any of the site collections but does show up when I look up his user profile on Central Admin. I've tried to add this user to the site collection using
the following command, but I get an error: " The specified user domain\accountname could not be found."
Get-SPWeb 'http://site' | New-SPUser -UserAlias 'domain\accountname'
Idk if this is related, but on this user's profile, "Personal Site" field shows up as "SPSSITEERROR".
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
I recommend to check if the user exists in Active Directory firstly.
If yes, then the error will occur. And for the user profile of the user, it may due to the user profiles have not been synced with Active Directory yet.
That "Personal Site" field shows up as "SPSSITEERROR" means that the MySite of that user has not been created successfully.
I recommend to run User Profile Synchronization timer job and then check the results.
Thanks,
Victoria

Why is PowerView Missing From My Site Collection?

I'm setting up a test lab with SQL Server 2012 SP1 and SharePoint 2013.
I successfully setup the integration using PowerShell and Central Administration. I can see the service application and it is related to my web application, however the PowerView/SSRS features are missing from my site collection and so are the content types.
I even tried creating a new site collection and no dice.
Any thoughts on this would be great!
Cheers!

Hi Anthony,
Based on the current information, I suggest that you make sure the Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint has been installed when installling SQL Server 2012 SP1. Then, please verify the Reporting Services installation referring to the following article:
Verify a Reporting Services Installation
If you can create the Reporting Services Service Application and a site collection successfully, please verify the Report Server Integration Feature is active. After that, please active the Power View Integration Feature for the site collection.
Additionally, I suggest that you refer to the following blog for the SQL Server Reporting Services Integration with SharePoint 2013:
Installing and configuring SQL Reporting services on SharePoint 2013
Hope this helps.

Ps elements 6 on win 7 - ipad2 user doesn't see albums/collections but different iphone4 user on same pc does

We initially had an iPhone4 and set up iTunes to synch specific collections from ps elements 6 on win 7 pc
No problem in iTunes detecting the collection and synching to the iPhone
Then we got a ipad2 used by a different user on the pc
When using iTunes for 2nd user ps elements does not show up for synch - 0 photos, and no collections listed

When you upload photos, what is the Folder location to which you store those photos?
The default location for the Catalog in XP is under the All Users folder structure of Documents and Settings - so I think that it would be available to both User 1 and User 2.
However, I think that the default location for photos that are transferred from your camera or your camera card to your PC using Photoshop Elements and the Adobe downloader is under the My Documents\My Pictures folder structure of the current Windows User. That might be what you are experiencing.
Also, do you log off the User1 Windows ID after you upload those photos and before your wife logs on with User2?
I don't access my catalogs from multiple Windows users, but if no one else responds who is doing this with PSE 5 then I might be able to test something for you.

Favicons are missing from all sites, don't seem to be loading at all.

On every single website, the favicons do not load, but instead display the standard "white page" icon instead. The bookmarks that were previously there still have their icons, but anything new will not have one. I tried both FF 3 and 4, both of which have the problem, which leads me to believe it's on my end, not firefox's

Mac 10.7.2 and FF 9.0.1 although this also happens on my Mac 10.6.8 and FF 8.0.1.
The threads seem to indicate a VERY LONG term problem. That would seem to indicate a need to BUMP up the priority for a fix. By the way: I have NO add ons installed on either version of FF.

Sharepoint 2010 get User Groups from specific site

Hello,
I was able to get all User groups from entire site Collection.
But instead of getting user groups from entire site, I want read user groups only from one specified sub site.
Please help!
Thanks

Assuming you have an SPWeb object named "web", example:
SPSite site = new SPSite(http://yourdomain/sites/yoursite);
SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb("mysubsite/subsbusite");
web.Groups will return a collection of SPGroup objects for the current subsite. If this subsite inherits permissions from a parent site (web.HasUniquePerm = False), the list is the same as the Groups property of the parent site.
SPWeb.Groups:

SPGroup:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/microsoft.sharepoint.spgroup(v=office.15).aspx
You would be better results by posting coding questions in "SharePoint 2010 - Development and Programming" instead of "SharePoint 2010 - General Discussions and Questions".

Aggregate lists from multiple site collections

Hi,
I'm currently working on an application that stores its data in sharePoint lists. Some lists are created at the WebApp level while others are available at the SiteCollection level. All lists, at the same level, fit to the same structure.
I need to create SSRS reports based on consolidated values from all site collections. I'm interested in a solution using only SharePoint and SSRS, without writting code. It is important to note that SiteCollections are generated dynamically, meaning
that I don't have a fixed number of SiteCollections. Is that possible to make a cross SiteCollections query from SSRS or something similar that would not require code?
Thanks in advance,
Jerome.

Hi Jerome,
i tried to look for the solution that is not with coding, but seems i can't find something that is similar with your needs, although i found this article.

Sharepoint have this class: SPSiteDataQuery.

Granting users Site admin to All site collections and/or Adding an o365 group by email to site admin group on all Site collections

We will have 1000s of site collections.
Why doesn't SharePoint Online 2013 offer a way to grant a user or a group Site admin rights to all site collections?
And.. if we must add the user to every single site, can this be done by an o365 or ADFS group using it's email?
We'd like to run this script to add a group to site collection admin on all sites, but Groups can't be referenced by an email?
Get-SPOSite|foreach{Set-SPOUser -Site $_.Url -LoginName [email protected] -IsSiteCollectionAdmin $True}
produces an error. And if we try to add the group by email manually through the UI it can't find it either. We've tried this with o365 groups and ADFS groups.
Any way to reference these groups from PowerShell?
Is this limitation there for a reason?

bump.. anybody?

Access denied for all (most?) users in all site collections of web app

Hi,
I have a Sharepoint 2010 farm pre-SP1 (yes should be updated!) and for all site collections of a web app, all users are getting access denied.
Now in my title I said "most?" because I have found one user in another office who does not have this issue. This web app/site collections also do not go through f5 or any proxies.
Even if I add myself as a site collection admin via central admin, I get the same result. I've looked at everything, windows time on the server (not using kerberos), errors in event log (nothing), uls logs just say access denied (very helpful!), etc...
I can try what's suggested at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/e66f1b09-605d-4546-a581-2a9283c238c0/access-denied-for-all-users-and-for-site-collections-owner?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious but when asking colleagues, there's been no
changes, let alone with those accounts? I can do a get on the property tomorrow to find if there is a value set first, however.
Any suggestions on this?

Hi,
Please try logging in the site with farm account.
If it works, please make sure you have superuser and superreader accounts in CA > Application management > web application policy. If not, please add both accounts with the powershell script in the article below, this can cause all users denied when
access the site:

How to display all site collections to users for site access

Currently when our users clients/internal log in, they are directed to a site directory. The site directory only displays sites that the users have access too. Which is great because I don't want our clients to see our entire client list.
Currently we have one site collection with 700+ sites.
We are changing the architecture of our SharePoint environment to create a new site collection for each client. So, we may have 700+ site collections in one web application.
My question is, how can I display all site collections to our user for access, similar to a site directory?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

This is not possible OOTB. your requirement is get the list of all site collections on root site then security trim( which means user can see only the sites where they have permission.)
I think this required alot of effort(developing a solutions and checking the permission on all sites). Issue is you have more than 700 sites collections and tons of user for each site collections and also 700+ clients.
May be think about creating a list and fill that with all site collections(using script). then trim configure the item level permission( but lot of work).
if you have user profile services then may be check about the memberships feature.

Problem with users accessing sharepoint 2013 site collection

I have an unbeliveable problem..
I have a sp site with several site collections..
I have around 15 users.. Everybody have access to the root site. Two users do not have access to site collections even though they are in EXACTLY same permission groups like other users who can access those site collections!
I tried to delete them from all user groups in SP, then delete their user profiles in Central Administration, and delete them from Active Directory. After that I recreated their profiles in Active directory, readded them to Central Administration, and again
added them to coresponding groups in SharePoint site collections. They again CAN NOT ACCESS site collections.
What should I do.. This is incredible that 5 users with the same user privileges can access site collections, and 2 can not, even though they are all created in the same way..
Regards,
Srdjan

Photos missing from Recently Added, Collections after IOS8 update

After I uptaded my IPad Air to IOS 8, photos were missing from Recently Added and Collections. (I understand Camera Roll and Photo Stream are gone.) My Recently Added photos dated to June (it's September) and my shared IPhone photos were missing from both the Collections/Moments where everything is supposed to be now. Photos In Last Import are also from June. I was fumbling through the Comminties threads and found a partial solution on a related IPhone thread. I can't figure out how to link to it, but someone called Apple tech and they suggested going to Settings/Photos & Camera and toggling My Photo Stream off and then on again. I was reluctant to do this since a pop-up warns that all photos in your stream will be deleted. But as soon as I did it, aphotos started downloading to the Recently Added. They're out of chronological order, and there are duplicates, but at least they haven't all disappeared. (Also, not w complaint, but my Recently Added goes back to 2011, not 30 days.) Photos are still missing from Last Import and Collections. Any other ideas? At least now this feels recoverable, I'll put everything in Albums quick.

Hi Lizka_2,
It sounds like you may be having some issues finding your Photos after you have updated to iOS 8. Try using the information in the following article to help you resolve this issue:

Managed Metadata values scrambled when copying or moving documents from one Site collection to another.

Hi
What works: Copy or move a document library containing one or more MM columns *within* a Site Collection = all column managed metadata replicated accurately.
What doesn't work: Copy or move a document library containing one or more MM columns *from one Site Collection to another* within the same Webapp. The issue is that some but not all MM values are totally wrong. By totally wrong I mean that the incorrect
terms are associated with a TermSet that is not even referenced in this DL!
Same result for all method's tried:
1) Save the DL as a template (no contents) and then copy or move the documents in
2) Programmatically do the copy
3) Export the list via CA and then reimporting it using Pshell
This thread is very similar but his workaround has not helped in this instance:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/6aca7b7c-97cb-4f1f-99f1-5e1fa0b1e3ed/content-type-hub-custom-library-template-managed-metadata-lostscrambled-when-moving-files?forum=sharepointdevelopment#65b52342-408f-47b4-a9f8-5d0b952acc12
Has anyone else experienced this and found the cause/solution? Or can anyone do this without the issues that I have described?
Thanks

Hi Nuno,
I've got to the root of the issue but in answer to your question first: The MM column is attached to a Global Content Type - there is nothing local.
The fact that some are ok and others are not led me down the route of checking the columns at item level. Scripting this did not help - all rows returned are what I would expect. ie The same MMColName with the expected value (as appearing
on the source DL).
On checking SharePoint manager however I have found what looks to be causing the issue.
When checking the properties (ie SiteCollection/Lists/<ListName>/items/<itemName>/Properties) of the 'good' documents against the 'bad' documents I find the following:
Good Docs: The MMColName is displayed as expected at the item level
Field: Name
Field: Internal Name
Item Properties:
Ok?
Partnership Type
Partnership_x0020_Type
Partnership Type
Y
Bad Docs: The MMColName is NOT displayed as expected at the item level. Instead the internal name is displayed:
Field: Name
Field: Internal Name
Item Properties:
Ok?
Register Type
Type_x0020_of_x0020_Licence
Type_x0020_of_x0020_Licence
N
Meeting Type
Meeting_x0020_Type
Meeting Type & Meeting_x0020_Type (Both columns are listed)
N
I should add that each of these 3 examples are taken from 3 different DL's - hence the different Fields
So this looks to be a case of corruption - and unless we can think of any other outcome we will have to look to rebuild the DL - while trying to maintain the metadata!

Changing site collections logos across all site collections

HI All,
I need to change the logo across all site collections, which are around 300-400, so don't intend to do this manually.
My question is, will simply replacing the current logo in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE....
with the logo I want to change to, and naming it exactly the same as the current logo, not achieve this?
I have searched online and people run PS to achieve this, but in my head the above seems to be work, please correct me?
Thanks

I completely agree with Alex and not suggest to touch/change root folder. Initially it might looks easy but it may create issue.
My option is to BRAND the sites. Master page branding is not a new concept and it mainly use for unanimous look and feel
Look at below links which will help you to explore about branding
