Categories: SharePoint 2016; SharePoint 2019; Nintex

In order to retrieve all members in aSharePoint group (including AD groups) you must follow these steps:
- get members of the SharePoint group using a SharePoint web service; result in an XML
- collect information about these group members
Resolve SharePoint and Active Directory Groups

Web Service call using UserGroup.asmx:

Fun with JavaScript and SharePoint: View Item Permissions
Created: 01.03.2020
Categories: SharePoint 2016; SharePoint 2019; SharePoint Online/Office365; SharePoint Development; JavaScript

Without any doubts individual permissions for documents and list items are a bad idea. But sometimes it is necessary. In SharePoint those individual permissions are hard to manage. With this extension you can see the permissions in the standard view.


      
Document Library:

DocLibPermissions

Export und Import SPWeb with Workflows
Created: 13.11.2018
Categories: PowerShell; SharePoint Development; SharePoint 2016

      If you want to export and import a SharePoint site you can use Export-SPWeb and Import-SPWeb. In most cases these commands work fine.
  If you have SharePoint Designer Workflows in this site, SharePoint adds a folder called "Workflows" and sometime this folder has a property
  called "docid_msft_hier_listid_validate" and a value which is invalid during the import.
  
  German error message:
  Import-SPWeb : Von der Zeichenfolge dargestellte DateTime liegt außerhalb des gültigen Bereichs.
  
  The following command changes the value and an import can be executed without problems:

  
$web = Get-SPWeb -Identity https://sharepoint/sites/PowerShellTests
$folder = $web.Folders["Workflows"]
$property = $folder.Properties["docid_msft_hier_listid_validate"]

$dt = Get-Date -Year 2100 -Month 12 -Day 31
$folder.Properties["docid_msft_hier_listid_validate"] = $dt
$folder.Update()
$web.Update()

Rename Internal Document Library Name
Created: 10.11.2018
Categories: PowerShell; SharePoint Development; SharePoint 2016

      If you want to rename a SharePoint library you can use the library configuration.
  If you want to rename the internal name you could use SharePoint Designer. Unless you have more than 5.000 items (which is a bad idea anyway):
  
  Server error: The attempted operation is prohibited because it exceeds the list view treshold enforced by the administrator.

  Ribbon
  
  But you can change the internal name using PowerShell:
  
      
    $url = "https://sharepoint/sites/PowerShellTests"
    $web = Get-SPWeb $url
    $lib = $web.GetList($web.Url + "/oldName")
    $rootFolder = $lib.RootFolder
    $rootFolder.MoveTo($web.Url + "/newName")

Re-Apply Quotas
Created: 05.10.2017
Categories: PowerShell; SharePoint Development; SharePoint 2016

      If you change a quota template you have to re-apply the template. In this case it was very easy since all sites have the same quota (personal My Sites).

      
$wa = $get-spwebapplication "my site host url"
$wa.Sites | foreach-object {
  if ( $_.Url.StartsWith("my site host url/personal") ) {
    Set-SPSite -Identity $_.Url -QuotaTemplate "Personal Site"
  }
}

Empty Popularity Trends and Most Popular Items
Created: 24.08.2017
Categories: SharePoint Development; PowerShell; SharePoint 2016

      In case the popularity trends report and the most popular items report are empty you can check (and re-eanble) the event receivers using PowerShell:

      Get receivers:
      
      $analytics = Get-SPUsageDefinition | where {
        $_.Name -like "Analytics*" }
      $pageRequests = Get-SPUsageDefinition | where {
        $_.Name -like "Page Requests" }
      

      Check receivers:
      
      $analytics.Receivers.Count
      $pageRequests.Receivers.Count
      

      If the result is 0 you can re-enable the receivers
      (remove line breaks)
      
      if ($analytics.Receivers.Count -eq 0)
      {
        $analytics.Receivers.Add(
          "Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Applications,
          Version=16.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
          PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c",

Categories: SharePoint 2016; Nintex

      Indent SharePoint Task using Nintex

      Ribbon

      Nintex doesn't provide the appropriate field
      in order to indent a task below another task.

      Solution:
      - Create Nintex Workflow (in this sample: in the task list)
      - Remember current item ID in a variable
      - Create task within this Workflow
      - Remember new item ID in a variable
      - Wait a while
      - Call WebService in order to update new item
      - Voilá

      Ribbon

      Web Service Call:

      Ribbon
      
      Web Service XML:
      
      
      <Batch OnError="Continue" PreCalc="TRUE" ListVersion="0">
        <Method ID="1" Cmd="Update">
          <Field Name="ID">SubItemID</Field>
          <Field Name="ParentID">ItemID</Field>
        </Method>
      </Batch>

SharePoint Lists and Coloured Rows
Created: 26.08.2014
Categories: SharePoint 2013; SharePoint Development

If you want to use coloured rows in SharePoint lists,

  • copy code to a file called 'HighlightRows.js'

  • Remove spaces in RenderColour between '< and a' and '< and img'
    • (stupid blog software)

  • upload file to a site collection and remember the path

  • add calculated column called 'Colour' to your list

  • Provide colour in this field, e.g. =IF(Priority="High";"rgba(255, 0,0,0.5)";IF(Priority ="medium";"rgba(255, 255,0,0.5)";"#ffffff"))

  • Include colour field in all views

  • Bind all views to JS in the ListView webpart settings, e.g. to ~sitecollection/style%20library/HighlightRows.js



Coloured SharePoint list

HighlightRows.js:

(function () {
  var overrideCtx = {};
  overrideCtx.Templates = {};
  overrideCtx.OnPostRender = [ HighlightRowOverride ];
  overrideCtx.Templates.Fields={ "Colour":{"View":RenderColour}}
  SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides
   (overrideCtx);
})();

function RenderColour(ctx) {
  var link = ctx.displayFormUrl +
    "&ID=" + ctx.CurrentItem.ID +
    "&source=" +
    encodeURIComponent(window.location.href);
  var text = "< a class='ms-core-suiteLink-a' href='" +
    link +
    "'>< img src='/_layouts/15/images/icgen.gif'>";
  return text;
}

function HighlightRowOverride(inCtx) {
  for (var i = 0; i < inCtx.ListData.Row.length; ++i) {
    var listItem = inCtx.ListData.Row[i];
    var iid = GenerateIIDForListItem(inCtx, listItem);

SharePoint and Remote Blob Storage - Performance Considerations
Created: 14.02.2014
Categories: SharePoint 2013

In our SharePoint 2013 test farm we installed RBS. Unfortunately the performance is very bad. We used an RBS system from a different manufacturer than Microsoft.

Average download times for a 14 MB video file and a 1 MB Word document:
File SizeFile stored in SQL ServerFile stored in RBS
14 MB4,06 sec30,3 sec
1 MB0,79 sec2,8 sec

This is pretty bad. Is seems that the performance regression is related to the new Shredded Storage setting. If we increase the setting up to 1 GB we get the following results:
File SizeFile stored in SQL ServerFile stored in RBSAdjusted Shredded Storage
14 MB4,06 sec30,3 sec3,44 sec
1 MB0,79 sec2,8 sec0,77 sec

The manufactorer was surprised in the first discussion but confirmed the results later. He told us that we have to disable the shredded storage.
      
Here you can see the results in Visual Studio:
Measuring native SQL Server
Measuring RBS
Measuring RBS with disabled shredded storage
      
First tests with native RBS coming with SQL Server 2012 don't show this downshift. Maybe we will follow this path.

Categories: SharePoint 2013; SharePoint Development; PowerShell

Want to rename your MySite blogs using PowerShell since all MySite blog names are "Blog"?


# URL to your MySite web application
$MySiteWebUrl = "https://mysite.collaboration-2-go.net"
      
# where to find users in the AD
$searchbase="DC=collaboration-2-go,DC=net"
      
# required if server domain and user domain are different
$dc="my_domain_controller"
      
# required if server language is English and
# MySite language is different
$culture = "de-DE"

$webapp = Get-SPWebApplication -identity $MySiteWebUrl
[System.Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture =
  $culture
        
foreach ($site in $webapp.Sites)
{
  # Get Active Directory Information
  $login = $site.Owner.LoginName
  if ($login.contains("\"))
  {
    $login = $login.substring($login.indexof("\") + 1)
  }
        
  $ldapfilter = "(SamAccountName=" + $login + ")"
  $aduser = Get-ADUser -LDAPFilter $ldapfilter
    -SearchBase $searchbase -Server $dc
  $displayName = $aduser.GivenName + " " + $aduser.Surname
      
  if ($displayName -eq " ")
  {
    $displayName = $site.owner.DisplayName
  }
      
  if ($site.RootWeb.WebTemplate -eq "SPSPERS") # ignore MySite host
  {
    # more sophisticated approach is possible but
    # I'm not sure about the blog URL
    foreach ($web in $site.AllWebs)
    {
      if (($web.WebTemplate -eq "BLOG") -and
        ($web.Title -eq "Blog"))
      {
        $title = "Blog von " + $displayName

Login as a different User
Created: 23.07.2013
Categories: SharePoint 2013

If you want to use the SP2010 functionality 'Login as a different User'
you can use the following link:
      
http://yourhost/_layouts/closeConnection.aspx?loginasanotheruser=true
      
There is no need to adjust the Welcome.ascx as suggested in many blogs.
      
Please remember that other client applications (e.g. Word) are not aware of this different
login but provide their own authentication.

SharePoint Warm-Up
Created: 19.07.2013
Categories: SharePoint 2010; SharePoint 2013

If you want to start your SharePoint web applications you can use the following
VisualBasic script as a warm-up for SharePoint. The code copies the host file
in order to reach each web front end server.
server1: "host-server1"
server2: "host-server2"
Plus "host-original" in order to move back
      
VBS Code:

Dim servers(2)
servers(1) = "server1"
servers(2) = "server2"

Dim PingReply
PingReply = "Reply from"

Dim TargetUrl
TargetUrl = "portal"

Dim outFile

  set objExec = objShell.Exec("ping -n 1 -w 1000 " & host)
  pr = objExec.StdOut.ReadAll
  pr = mid(pr, InStr(pr, PingReply))
  pr = left(pr, InStr(pr, ":") - 1)
  AddToLog pr
  set objShell = Nothing
  set objExec = Nothing
end sub

You can use the script as a scheduled task. Use an account that has read access in the sites.

Alternative: Use IIS8 setting "AlwaysRunning" instead.

End of Windows Phone App Tatort Planer

      Due to the disappointment of the sales of my Windows Phone App "Tatort Planer" I
      decided to remove it from the marketplace. Too much work, expenses for developer
      registration too high, no gain at all (Microsoft keeps income less than ~200 €).

      Anyway, I will try to update the data for some weeks.

      In case you have lost your passwords for all your SQL Server accounts here
      is a way that works in SQL Server 2008 R2 to get access:
      
      1.) Write a batch file:
      
        sqlcmd -Q "CREATE LOGIN [domain\user] from windows"
        sqlcmd -Q "EXEC sys.sp_addsrvrolemember
           @loginame = N'domain\user', @rolename = N'sysadmin'"
      
      2.) Replace values for domain\user as appropriate, remove linebreak in 2nd sqlcmd
      3.) Add this Script to your scheduled tasks
      4.) Run scheduled task as SYSTEM
      5.) Wait and see

      It shouldn't work in SQL Server 2012 anymore.

How to create Exchange Public Folders for Appointments
Created: 04.10.2011
Categories: Exchange Development; Exchange; PowerShell

      Unfortunately the PowerShell cmdlet New-PublicFolder doesn’t allow different types for public folders. But with a small trick you can set the type later. The code requires CDOEX that runs locally only.

      PowerShell Code:
      
      $FolderPath = "/TEMP"
      $NewFolder = "CalendarTest"
      $PFRoot = "file://./backofficestorage/litwareinc.com/Public Folders"

      # Use PowerShell cmdlet to create new folder
      # (depending upon whether a root folder or not)
      if ($FolderPath -ne "")
      {
        $f = $FolderPath -replace("/", "\")
        New-PublicFolder -Name $NewFolder -Path $f
      }
      else
      {
        New-PublicFolder -Name $NewFolder
      }

      # Use ADO to change the folder type
      $o=New-Object -comobject ADODB.Record
      $updated=$false
      $timeout=60
      while (($updated -eq $false) -and ($timeout -gt 0))
      {
        $o.Open($PFRoot + $FolderPath + "/" +
         $NewFolder, "", 3, -1, -1, "", "")
        foreach($item in $o.Fields)
        {
        if($item.Name -eq
          "http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/outlookfolderclass")
        {
          $updated=$true
          $item.Value="IPF.Appointment"
        }
      }

      $o.Fields.Update()
      $o.Close()
