Introduction

I am not sure if but I do not think I am unusual in the way I write blog posts, but the way I use the blog is if I find or am told about a problem once I solve it I blog how I did it, this then becomes mine and others knowledge base for SharePoint problems. So I thought I would gather the how to’s and other SharePoint information that I have published throughout 2010 into one EBook and make this available for others to download.

I hope you find this EBook useful these articles have certainly helped me this year and who knows this may become an annual publication.

Create SharePoint 2010 sites using PowerShell reading an XML file

Just a quick post to show how easy it is to create some sites in SharePoint 2010 using PowerShell by reading an XML file. I'm sure there are some powershell experts out there that can improve the code, but if you need to create a revision gateway during lunch this is the place to start.

Lets start by opening PowerShell with modules on the sharepoint server.

Create a sample xml file:

"<Setup>

<Sites>

<TopSiteName>Site1</TopSiteName>

</Sites>

<Sites>

<TopSiteName>Site2</TopSiteName>

<SubSiteName>Subsite2a</SubSiteName>

<SubSiteName>Subsite2b</SubSiteName>

</Sites>

<Sites>

<TopSiteName>Site3</TopSiteName>

<SubSiteName>Subsite3a</SubSiteName>

<SubSiteName>Subsite3b</SubSiteName>

<SubSiteName>Subsite3c</SubSiteName>

</Sites>

</Setup>" | out-file sample.xml

Now we have some data to work with we can create the sites. Three top sites will be created with 2

and 3 subsites below Site2 and Site3. They can be created using:

[xml]$s = get-content sample.xml

foreach ($e in $s.Setup.Sites){

$v = $e.TopSiteName

$b = $e.SubSiteName

new-SPWeb http://sp2010rc/$v -template "STS#0" -addtotopnav -useparenttopnav -name $v if($b.Length -gt 0) {

foreach ($b in $b){

new-SPWeb http://sp2010rc/$v/$b -template "STS#0" -name $b -AddToQuickLaunch -

useparenttopnav

}

}

}

The bit that creates the site is the new-SPWeb command. For information about the command switches run:

get-help new-SPWeb -full

It's as easy as that! You will now have some SharePoint 2010 sites created in a matter of seconds.

To remove sites you can just use the remove-SPWeb command. This can be scripted in the same way:

[xml]$s = get-content sample.xml

foreach ($e in $s.Setup.Sites){

$v = $e.TopSiteName

$b = $e.SubTopSiteName

if($b.Length -gt 0) {

foreach ($b in $b){

remove-SPWeb http://sp2010rc/$v/$b

}

}

remove-SPWeb http://sp2010rc/$v

}

The xml file can then be deleted with "Remove-Item sample.xml"

If you really wan't to get stuck in run "Get-Command -module Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" This will output all the cmdlets that you can use with PowerShell to do great things with SharePoint 2010

combine this with get-help and there is no limit to where you can go!!

So there we have it; One XML file with a site structure creating all the SharePoint 2010 sites in just a few seconds!

Using PowerPoint 2010 themes in SharePoint 2010 In 6 Easy Steps Creating your own theme for SharePoint 2010 used to be similar to dark alchemy, so one of the things that I thought I would share with you is how easy it is to create your own theme for SharePoint 2010 just using PowerPoint 2010.

1. Choose which theme to apply to your PowerPoint presentation 2. Save as a .thmx file

3. In SharePoint navigate to Site Settings -> Site Theme and then at the top of the page choose Theme Gallery

4. Click ‘Add New Item’ and then browse to where you saved your theme 5. Now Click OK and Save

6. Then navigate back to Site Settings -> Site Theme and your new theme will be available to choose and apply

You can from here apply more tweaks until you are happy with your new colour scheme.

SharePoint 2010 Drop Off Library

Another new feature you may have seen in SharePoint 2010 is the drop folder this is basically a way to set up one folder for users to upload files to and it will automatically route the files to the appropriate locations that you have previously setup.

So how do we get this to work? Well it does need some setting up and the routing rules do need some configuring but well worth the effort. First of all from your site go to

Site Actions -> Site Settings -> Manage Site Features and activate the “Content Organizer” feature.

After this is activated there are two new items under the site administration section these are

“Content Organizer Settings” and “Content Organizer Rules”

As the names imply “Content Organizer Settings” are general site settings and “Content Organizer Rules” are where you set up individual rules for content types. All there is to do now is setup the rules that you wish to use, this took quite a bit of playing with the keep piece being specifying the conditions I will include a screen shot of my Docx rule so you can see how I achieved this, you will also have to create rules for all the file types that you want to route so on my test install I created two rules one for word files and one for Visio

And now whenever I tried to add a document they route through to the location that I set up. A great way to keep your SharePoint governance intact and all documents in the correct locations. This post will eventually lead on to another post that I have been thinking about for a while on Taxonomy vs. Search but more of that later.

How To Change The maximum file size Upload in SharePoint 2010

This morning I tried to upload a video file to our SharePoint 2010 install in preparation for a presentation tonight and then realised that the default 50mb file size limit was still set so while I was changing the settings to allow larger files I thought I would do a quick post on how/where the setting is and what to change.

First of all login to Central Admin and navigate to

Central Administration -> Application Management -> Manage Web Applications Once there highlight the web application that you want to change and then click on general settings Once in general settings scroll to the bottom of the list and you will see the maximum upload size the default setting is 50mb this can be can set to a maximum size of 2047mb. If you try to go beyond this it does flag up and tell you that you have exceeded the Maximum size.

SharePoint 2010 Send To Connector Setup

Through this post I will show you how to setup the send to connector in SharePoint 2010 with this enabled you can move or copy documents from one location to another in your SharePoint install exactly the same way that you can in windows. This post is really a continuation of a previous post

“SharePoint 2010 drop Off Library” as to use the send to feature the drop off library needs configuring so please check out the previous post before trying to set up the send to connectors.

In this demo site I have set up 2 document libraries with the aim to be able to move a document from one to the other. I have set these libraries up on the same page but they could be on any sub site that you create.

The first step is to load up central admin and navigate to General Application settings -> Configure Send to Connections

When you click on the “Configure send to connections” link you will be presented with the page illustrated below.

You have to append the connection string with _vti_bin/officialfile.asmx so on my test setup it was

http://dave1/_vti_bin/officialfile.asmx i also chose to move the file but you can choose to “copy” or

“Copy and leave a link”. When all the details are filled out test the link and you should get the same output as illustrated below

When you go back to your main page and click the down arrow next to a document you should now see a new send to connector displaying whatever text you put in the display name field when you set up your connection.

After clicking the link you will be presented with a success screen and in my case the document will appear in the location that you specified in the connection setup.

SharePoint 2010 Farm Passphrase Recovery

We are at the moment in the process of deploying a SharePoint 2010 implementation for a county wide portal, I have already set up the first server in the farm this will be a 5 SharePoint server setup and also mirrored in a redundant data centre. Well today I had one of those OMG moments when checking to make sure that I had the passphrase for installing the remaining servers, now I know I had it and as it turned out it was stored away safe and sound but this got me thinking about the passphrase and what happens if you lose it.

Well the good news is it can be changed by using PowerShell you cannot retrieve a lost passphrase but you can change it, now this is really an easy process which is quite worrying so I thought I would let people know how to go about the process just in case it happens to you.

First log onto your SharePoint server and go to Start | All Programs | Microsoft SharePoint 2010

Products | SharePoint 2010 Management Shell also right click the link and run as administrator.

Next step at the PowerShell prompt input

$passphrase = ConvertTo-SecureString -asPlainText –Force You will be prompted to input a new passphrase in plain text. Next step is to input Set-SPPassPhrase -PassPhrase $passphrase –Confirm After inputting the command above you will be asked to reenter the new passphrase this time it will be hashed then it is just a simple case of entering Y(Yes) N(No) to complete the change you can see the whole process illustrated below

For more details on the switches available just enter Get-Help Set-SPPassPhrase –Detailed at the PowerShell prompt for help on this command.

How to Configure Alerts on Document Libraries in SharePoint 2010

I have written quite a few how to guides over the last year which I plan to amalgamate into an EBook and publish on this blog before Christmas this post will also be included. But this post came about after a request we had from a customer on how to configure alerts on his document libraries so as always I thought I would not only let them know how to set this feature up but also share it with the wider SharePoint community.

The first step is to add the SMTP service to your SharePoint server if you have followed through my previous posts on How to set up mail enabled document libraries this will already be done, but to add this logon to your server open server manager and you will find this service under “Features”

The next step is to login to Central Admin on your SharePoint server and navigate to Central Administration | System Settings| Configure outgoing e-mail settings Here you have to fill in the details of your outbound SMTP server name and also an email address as illustrated below

Now if you go to a document library and click on Library tools and Library on the ribbon under “alert me” you will be able to click on “Set alert for this library”

This will give you many options which you can see in the illustration below.

How to Setup Mail Enabled Document Libraries in SharePoint 2010

We are working on a continuing SharePoint 2010 support project for a group of school one of the features they require is the ability for students to be able to have a drop box to submit their work to teachers, this is a perfect example of the use of mail enabled document libraries in SharePoint so I thought while I am writing this up I may as well share how to setup this function. This post will be divided into four parts:-1) Configuring SMTP on the SharePoint Servers

2) Configuring Exchange 2010 to route mail to SharePoint 3) Configuring Active Directory

4) Configuring SharePoint 2010 Central Admin

Configuring the SMTP service on SharePoint 2010

The first step we need to do in the setup is to add and configure the SMTP service on ALL of our SharePoint web front end servers. I will be setting this up on a farm configuration with 2 web front end servers and 1 application server.

The SMTP service is vital for mail flowing into SharePoint so your first port of call is to log onto your SharePoint servers and open server manager and navigate to features here we can add the SMTP

service

As you can see from the illustration below after the service is installed the server MAY require a restart in my case this was not needed but it may be needed on your servers so please be aware that you may have to have some down time in your setup so plan accordingly.

As you can see from the illustration above the setup of the service is now complete and no restart was required, please make sure that you do this on all of your SharePoint front end servers.

The next step is to configure the service through IIS manager on the servers, for this you will need to use IIS manager 6 here at Twynham we install this role during the setup of our servers but you may not, if not installed open Server manager|Roles|Add Roles|IIS 6 Management Compatibility through this interface which you can see below we can manage SMTP.

Right click on SMTP Virtual Server and choose properties once open click on the access tab and then click the Authentication button “Anonymous Access” should be ticked.

Next step click OK and then click the Connection button and ensure that “All except the list below”

radio button is selected and click ok.

The final button to click is the relay button and make sure that “Only the list below” radio button is selected and also make sure that you see a tick in “Allow all computers which successfully authenticate to relay regardless of the list above”

You can also fine tune the permissible message size by going into the messages tab this could be crucial for students sending in attachments via email so please make sure this is set to a reasonable limit.

You will find that all the settings are pre-set out of the box the only setting that you will really need to check is the Start-up type on the SMTP service by default this is set to manual so obviously change this to automatic.

“A quick Note from the field is that I have found that if you restart your exchange server you will

need to restart the SMTP service on your SharePoint servers, we route our internal mail from an

ISA server to Exchange 2010 and this needs to be done after each restart of the Exchange box.”

Also please bear in mind that this setup will need to be completed on each front end server.

Configuring Exchange 2010 to route mail to SharePoint

We will now look at the setup required on our Exchange server to complete the task; this is the same in Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010.

The first step is to create a new send connector so in Exchange Management Console navigate to Organization Configuration|Hub Transport and click the send connectors tab. In the actions pane on the right click “New send connector”

Enter a descriptive name and select internal from the dropdown list then click next on the next screen you will have to enter the FQDN’s of your SharePoint servers please be aware if you have more than one front end server both names will need to be entered.

Click next; on the next screen enter the IP addresses of your SharePoint servers and make sure that Route mail through the following smart host radio button is selected.

Click next; the next page asks about your authentication settings leave this at the default “None”

selection.

Click next; At Twynham we have all the Exchange roles on one Exchange box so the next screen asks for the address of the hub transport server which should be picked up automatically during the setup of the send connector but you can add one manually.

Click next and then new and finish your send connector for SharePoint is now setup and we can continue to the next step.

Configuring Active Directory

The next step is configuring our Active Directory so the first step is to create a new organizational unit to store or contacts. Logon to a domain controller and open up “Active Directory Users and Computers” right click on the domain name and choose New Organizational Unit.

You will notice there is a tick box under the name field this is titled “Protect container from accidental deletion” this is because I am running Windows Server 2008 R2 so if you do not see this do not worry. After creating the OU we will now move onto permissions and delegation of control.

What we need to do next is delegate control to the Application pool account if you cannot remember which account this is you can find it by logging on to a SharePoint server and opening IIS

manager and clicking on application pools

Once you have this information, In Active Directory right click on the new OU that you created previously and choose Delegate Control… from the sub context menu.

Click next; and click add to and choose the application pool account

Click next; on this screen we will choose “Create a custom task to delegate”

On this screen choose “This folder existing objects in this folder and creation of new objects in this folder” click next

On the next screen place a tick In “Creation/deletion of specific child objects” also in the main window choose “Create All Child Objects” and also “Delete All Child Objects”

Click next and then finish. We can now move onto the final part of configuring email enabled document libraries.

Configuring SharePoint 2010 Central Admin

The final part of this series is the configuration of SharePoint Central admin and the sites to accept mail. On your SharePoint server navigate to Central Admin|System Settings|Configure Incoming email settings

On the illustration below you can see what I have enabled but to list the steps Choose “yes” to enable sites on this server to receive e-mail?

Choose “Automatic” in the settings mode section

Choose “Yes” to use the SharePoint Directory Management Service to create distributions groups and contacts

Enter your OU container details as an example “OU=TestOU, DC=Home, DC=Server, DC=net”

In the SMTP mail server you will need to enter all your front end servers that have the SMTP service installed I have separated mine with a semi colon.

And choose the radio button “Accept mail from all e-mail servers”

Then click OK

Adobe PDF Setup for SharePoint 2010

So you have your shiny new SharePoint 2010 server installed and setup you upload your first PDF

file and you see no PDF icon you then click on the file and it wants to save the file and will not open, then you start searching for a document and no results are returned from any PDF files only from the title not the content.

Well this is the situation with every SharePoint install, you have more configurations to use PDF files effectively in SharePoint, and so through this post I will bring all the steps into one location to help setup SharePoint for using PDF files, I have broken this post down into 3 sections for ease of reading Setting up the PDF icon, Setting up open PDF files and Setting up the PDF iFilter.

Setting up the PDF icon

The first step is to set up an icon for your PDF files this was one of the annoying things I have found using SharePoint 2007 the inability to upload a PDF file and see a PDF icon next to the file name out of the box, this situation has not changed with SharePoint.

This is basically the same process as with 2007 apart from some path changes so.

On your SharePoint server navigate to (default install)

“C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\IMAGES”

And place a 16 x 16 picture file (Gif, Jpg or Png) of the file type you wish to add All the icon files in the images folder have the format ic***.gif so I named my PDF icon icpdf.gif

After you copy the picture file you need navigate to

“C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML”

And edit the DocIcon.xml with notepad and add the line

<Mapping Key=”pdf” Value=”icpdf.gif”/>

Once this is edited and saved (I would also recommend doing a backup of the file before you save it) you will need to do an IISreset before the icon will display.

Also please bear in mind a couple of points if you have more than 1 server in your farm you will need to repeat this procedure on all of your servers and please backup the docicon.xml file and image files away from your servers as they may get overwritten with updates.

Setting up open PDF Files

In your SharePoint 2010 setup you may notice that when you go to open a PDF file it prompts you to save it rather than opening.

This is really annoying but the solution to this is very easily remedied. Navigate to central admin.

Go there and click ‘Manage Web Applications’

Click on the web app you want to change, and go to ‘General Settings’

Scroll down the list until you reach ‘Browser File Handling’

Change the radio box from Strict to Permissive.

Click ok.

Go back to your PDF document and click on it – and it will open up without forcing you to save it somewhere first.

Setting up the PDF iFilter

Once the iFilter is downloaded extract the MSI installer file and install this on your SharePoint servers. The Adobe PDF iFilter 9 for 64-bit platforms is downloadable from here.

The next step is to navigate to Central Admin | Manage service applications | Search Service Application and once there click on “file types” to add the PDF file type.

The next step is to make a registry change so as always be careful as this can have adverse effects on your server if you make a mistake. First of all start up regedit and navigate to:-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office Server\14.0\Search\Setup\Filters, right click on the filters folder and create a new key and enter ‘.pdf’ as the value do not forget the full stop.

Next enter the following values to your new key:-

<REG_SZ> Default = <value not set>

<REG_SZ> Extension = pdf

<REG_DWORD> FileTypeBucket = 1

<REG_SZ> MimeTypes = application/pdf

You should end up with the new key as illustrated below

Next navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\OfficeServer\14.0\Search\Setup\

ContentIndexCommon\Filters\Extension

Just one key to enter here, right click and choose new key and again enter ‘.PDF’ as the value double click on the default REG_SZ and enter {E8978DA6-047F-4E3D-9C78-CDBE46041603} as the value data.

The final step is to restart your SharePoint server and initiate a full crawl; all of your PDF files will now be indexed and searchable.

Once these 3 steps are completed you will have completed the setup of your SharePoint install for Adobe PDF files.

Locking Down My Site SharePoint 2010

I was recently asked two questions on the use of My Site they were:-How easy is it to restrict the use of My Site in SharePoint 2010

Which web parts are available on My Site in SharePoint 2010

So as I have done previously I will answer the person’s questions and also post on this blog to help others faced with the same. This will be a two part post so first question how to restrict access to My Site?

Open Central admin and click on Application Management | Manage Service Applications Once there click on User Profile Service Application

You now need to click on manage user permissions under the People section Once you click manage user permissions you will be presented with a windows as illustrated below

By default Authenticated users and All Authenticated users are in and enabled to create my sites out of the box. I will remove all permissions and now the user will see no my site link

The easiest way to manage a large amount of users is to create a security group in Active Directory I will call my My Site Users and drop the users in as you require them to use My Site.

I will now add my new security group into the permissions section to allow the creation of my site

But I will only allow Create Personal Site and then go through what the other tick boxes allow.

Well after trying all permutation’s I have found that if “Use Personal Features” is left unticked the users can still not get to or create a my site, and the only thing I found if “Use Social Features” is unticked is that when you click on “Tags and Notes” in My Site you get a 403 Page “Forbidden” Now I am not sure if this is a problem with my setup (Which I doubt) or an un documented feature that will be rectified over the course of time I am not sure but if you have had similar or a different experience could you let me know through comment or email dave@sharepointedutech.com

SharePoint 2010 Version Comparison

Yesterday we were meeting a customer when the question of the difference in SharePoint 2010

versions came up well we answered the questions but I did not have a definitive answer or a document or URL that I could refer people too. So today after a bit of searching I managed to find on the Microsoft site a list of differences in each version but I could not find it in a PDF or Word format so the only thing to do is the hard miles of writing my own table. I will also make this available for download in PDF format and if you would like it in word format just drop me an email and I will send you a copy.
