As we browsed to the library, we received the following error:
”The Server block is not well formed”

It had something to do with the default view, which was corrupt. To resolve the problem, follow the steps below:

• Go to your document library and change the AllItems.aspx part @ the end of your url to webfldr.aspx
• Click on [Settings] and choose [Document Libary Settings]
• Create a new view, name it temp or so (you can use allitems as a start of your view)
• Again go back to your document library and change AllItems.aspx again to temp.asxp (or the name you choose).
• Click Actions and choose [Open with Windows Explorer]
• Change AllItems.asxp to AllItems_old.asxp
• Rename temp.asxp to AllItems.asxp
• If you browse to your document library, you will now see that the view is still named “temp’, open [Settings] again and choose [Document Libary Settings]Settings]
• Change the Temp view, make it default and rename the view name to AllItems

The only error I got was “The Search request was unable to connect to the Search Service”.

This apparently had to do with certificates. If you open your Certificate store on your local server, you will see a store named SharePoint. In this store (under certificates) there will be a certificate named Sharepoint Security Token Service. I copied this certificate to the “Trusted People\Certificates” store, and voila the error above disappeared.

However I still did not get any results back.

After again some research time, I found that my  Fast Content SSA wasn’t configured correctly. I followed the Technet Guide,  and as it states here you have to open Install_info.txt from your FASTSearch installation directory and use the Content Distributer that is specified there (port 13391). However if you look at the file %FASTSearch Install Dir%\etc\contentdistributor.cfg it will display a different port: 13390.

Reconfiguring my FAST Content SSA with this new port, made my search site return result.

Whenever you want to create a SharePoint Site bases on a Web Database template, you have to make sure you did the following:

• Created a Access Service Application
  (Central Administration – Manage Service Applications – New – Access Services)
• Started the Access Database Service
  (Central Administration – Manage Services on Server)

If you don’t you will receive an error like this:

Preparing Site …
Someone has recently made changes to this site and the site is being updated. If the site remains offline for an extended period of time, contact a site owner.

Wait a moment and refresh your browser

Don’t bother waiting…

After you did all of this, open up the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell, and give the following command:

enable-spSessionStateService –DataBaseName <SomeNewDatabaseName>

This will create a session state database and turns on the session state service.

The list cannot be displaued in DataSheet view for one or more of the following reasons:

- A datasheet component compatible with Windows SharePoint Services is not installed.
- Your Web browser does not support ActiveX controles
- Support for ActiveX controles is disabled

I tried it with a SharePoint 2010 and a SharePoint 2007 List, both returned the same error.
As I had office 2010 on my machine. It seems that you have to install the 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components for this to work.

Everyone has the problem in which you take some pictures of a group of people. When you look @ the picture later, you see that one person has his eyes closed and another is looking down and so on.
To get a good picture you could get a photo editing program and start cutting of people heads and then pasting them on another picture to get some good results. A hell of a job…

Photo Fuse to the rescue…awesome

I configured the search to crawl my local SharePoint Sites and when it did a full crawl it gave me the following error:

Access is denied. Verify that either the Default Content Access Account has access to this repository, or add a crawl rule to crawl this repository. If the repository being crawled is a SharePoint repository, verify that the account you are using has “Full Read” permissions on the SharePoint Web Application being crawled.

This error is caused by the local loopback check.

You can disable the loopback check by setting the DisableLoopbackCheckregistry key. To set the DisableLoopbackCheck registry key, follow these steps

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. In Registry Editor, locate and then click the following registry key:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa

3. Right-click Lsa, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
4. Type DisableLoopbackCheck, and then press ENTER.
5. Right-click DisableLoopbackCheck, and then click Modify.
6. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
7. Quit Registry Editor, and then restart your computer.

You can now also browse your site on your local server

A picture says more than a 1000 words.

Off course, PowerShell comes to mind.
First I tried it with the standard AD commands get-aduser en set-aduser.

Get-ADuser will give you the Telephone property and mobilephone property, but set-aduser will not let you update the telephone property, it only support 47 properties and Telephone isn’t one of them.

Next stop: Quests PowerShell AD commands.
You can use get-qaduser and set-qaduser.

So I tried the command:

get-qaduser –SearchRoot ‘Domain/OU/OU’ | set-qaduser – PhoneNumber $_.mobilePhone

This gave me an empty PhoneNumber property in AD.
After trying a lot and searching the internet, I stumbled upon this forum post, who else than Shay Levy would give me the answer.

get-qaduser -SearchRoot ‘Domain/OU/OU’ | % {set-qaduser $_ -telephonenumber $($_.MobilePhone)}
