[Forum FAQ] How to remove div characters from multiline textbox field in SharePoint 2013

Scenario:

Need to avoid the div tags and get data alone from multiline textbox field using JavaScript Client Object Model in SharePoint 2013.

Solution:

We can use a regular expression to achieve it.

The steps in detail as follows:

1. Insert a Script Editor Web Part into the page.

2. This is the complete code, add it into the Script Editor Web Part and save.

<script type="text/javascript">     ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(retrieveListItems, "sp.js");     function retrieveListItems() {     // Create an instance of the current context to return context information   var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();     //Returns the list with the specified title from the collection   var oList = clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('CustomListName');     //use CAML to query the top 10 items   var camlQuery = new SP.CamlQuery();     //Sets value that specifies the XML schema that defines the list view   camlQuery.set_viewXml('<View><RowLimit>10</RowLimit></View>');     //Returns a collection of items from the list based on the specified query   this.collListItem = oList.getItems(camlQuery);     clientContext.load(this.collListItem, 'Include(Title,MultipleText)');     clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQuerySucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));   }     function onQuerySucceeded() {     //Returns an enumerator to iterate through the collection   var listItemEnumerator = this.collListItem.getEnumerator();   //Remove div tag use a regular expression   var reg1 = new RegExp("<div class=\"ExternalClass[0-9A-F]+\">[^<]*", "");   var reg2 = new RegExp("</div>$", "");     //Advances the enumerator to the next element of the collection   while (listItemEnumerator.moveNext()) {   //Gets the current element in the collection   var oListItem = listItemEnumerator.get_current();   alert(oListItem.get_item('MultipleText').replace(reg1, "").replace(reg2, ""));   }   }     function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {     alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());   }    </script>

Result:<o:p></o:p>

I need to remove both <div> and <br> tags, above thing is not working for me, do we need to give refrence of sp.js externally ?

for example I have description column and the value is :

<div class="ExternalClass97FE078B2F014F10B4987EF13169861B">The Solution Designer drives technical innovation based on broad and deep knowledge of 21st century technology (software, frameworks, hardware topology, database, …). </div><div class="ExternalClass97FE078B2F014F10B4987EF13169861B">Able to give short – and long-term direction resulting in clear guidance to a successful future. Regularly communicates and shares knowledge with the rest of the team and department. <br></div>

VPN - Error 812

In thread titled "VPN error 812 and error 629 - testing VPN setup on internal LAN and getting this error", Glasgow suggested "allowed access in AD via the dial-in tab" to solve this issue.

I think it isn't a good solution because doing that prevents NPS to apply Network Access Conditions to the User Connection Request (unless option box "Ignore User Account Dial-in Properties" is selected).
The 812 error seems appearing for several reasons:
- when Server Network Policy and Client Connection Profile don't match on the Authentication Protocol. It is easy to fix;
- when NPS does not update (in memory I guess) value added to "Tunnel Type" Condition in Network Policy. That is more tricky.

Let's give an example for the second situation:
- a new Network Policy is set with "Day and time restrictions", "Operating system", "Windows group" and "Tunnel type" Conditions;
- "Tunnel Type" is valued with "PPTP" only;
When trying to connect VPN client, 812 error may appears.

How to fix that ?
- select additionnal value to "Tunnel type" Condition, like "L2TP" to obtain value "L2TP OR PPTP";
- apply and close the Network Policy;
- connect VPN client, it works !
- revert the Network Policy to the good value for "Tunnel type" Condition, here it is "PPTP" only;
- apply and close the Network Policy;
- connect VPN client, it works and your Network Policy is now well set up !

Hope this workaround will help some of you,

I have been struggling with this issue for weeks - this little gem sorted it for me!

Specifically, when configuring RRAS to forward Authenticatioon requests to a seperate NPS server, it would simply stop working, regardless of how I configured the various conditions. Setting local authentication would work again.

As soon as I did as Nucime & Axel suggested, forwarding of Authentication requests burst into life!

Thanks!

You can also get error 812 if the VPN server is Windows and has lost its trust relationship with the domain. When the VPN client comes in the server cannot find the user in the domain because of this condition.

If this happens you may have to remove the server from the domain (taking care that you have a local admin password that is tested and known to work), and then adding it back to the domain.

Appication cannot connect SQL Server with TLS 1.0 disabled

Hello

I have SQL Server 2014 (fully patched with SP and CU) on one vm (Windows Server 2012 R2). On the second vm (same OS) I have application. Recently TLS 1.0 has been disabled on all servers and app can't connect SQL now. From app config file I see "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1". I have seen https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3135244/tls-1.2-support-for-microsoft-sql-server and I was able to fix other apps using .NET or ODBC but still don't know how to fix SQLOLEDB.1.

What sql authentication do you have enabled on the SQL instance? 'SQL Server and Windows authentication mode' or just 'Windows authentication mode'?

Does the app connect with a Windows account or SQL account? What is the error message returned when connection attempt fails?

Is TLS 1.2 security protocol enabled on the SQL Server machine?

Can you post connection string (with fake password) used by the app to connect to SQL instance?

App uses SQL auth.

Unfortunately app is not returning anything useful. It was working before windows patching at the end of Dec. I fixed other applications installing client components mentioned in https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3135244/tls-1.2-support-for-microsoft-sql-server but still have a problem with that one and import to Excel 2013. I guess they both use SQL OLE DB Provider.

TLS 1.2 is enabled on SQL Server machine.

Connection string is OK. It was working before. The only important thing is Provider=SQLOLEDB.1.

------------------------------------
Reply:

Apparently, if your app uses a .NET Framework version lower than 4.6.1, the TLS 1.2 security protocol is not supported.

You should install .NET Framework version 4.6.1 (or above) on you app server to resolve the issue.

Alternatively, if you have to stay on .NET Framework 4.5.x, then...

.NET 4.5. TLS 1.2 is supported, but it's not a default protocol. You need to opt-in to use it. The following code will make TLS 1.2 default, make sure to execute it before making a connection to secured resource:

ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12

Netlogon back to Manual startup type after DC upgrade

Hey,

Since there doesn't seems to be a way to report feedback for Windows Server like there is for Windows 10, I'm creating a post here. (If anyone knows how to report feedback for Server 2016, please share).

Anyway, after upgrading a Windows Server 2012 R2 Server Core machine configured as a AD DC.

Before upgrading, the NetLogon service is set to Automatic, after an in-place upgrade, the service has it's startup type changed to Manual.

After changing it back to Automatic, things work like they should.

I haven't tested on a full UI server, so not sure if this is a Server Core issue, or a general upgrade issue.

So if anyone else experience issues after an upgrade, this might be the reason.

Did you check event log for the same?

Is there any failure message on or after up-gradation time?

Ms Outlook - stop being a delegate

I am using Outlook 2016. I am a delegate for a former supervisor. I no longer wish to be her delegate. How do I remove delegate access on my end? (she is not readily available to do it herself)

Reply:

In Exchange, you as a delegate can not remove the delegated permissions. However you can unmap them from Outlook.

For eg:- User-A Decides to grant fullaccess on his personal mailbox (or any sort of permission) to user-B. It is only User-A that has the power of attorney :) to remove the delegate access. Else, an Exchange administrator will help you overcome this problem. The admin will run below command to remove the permission

Remove-mailboxpermission -Identity User-A@example.com -user User-B@example.com -accessrights Fullaccess -inheritancetype all

How to unmap the supervisor's mailbox from Outlook:-

if you want to get rid of User-A's Calendar from your personal mailbox, it can be achieved by:-

- Navigate to your calendar > Right click on User-A's calendar > Delete Calendar

Also, you can unmap User-A's mailbox by following below:-

- Open Outlook > File > Account Settings > Account settings > Change > More settings > Advanced > Under "Open these additional mailboxes" > You will see your former supervisor's name added > Remove it and restart your outlook

Note:- Unmapping a mailbox/Calendar would not remove the permission.

Hope this helps

Calendar syncing issues between Outlook 2016 and exchange 2013

Hi,

In regards to the Outlook 2007 and compatibility with Exchange 2013 could be the issue. Do you have SP3 and all the latest security and CU updates?

Here are the requirements from Exchange 2013

Exchange Server 2013

The following Outlook client versions are fully supported by Exchange server 2013. Please bear in mind there's a difference between what is supported and what might be compatible with Exchange 2013. All of the Outlook versions listed below have been thoroughly tested by the Exchange Product group:

Outlook 2013
Outlook 2010 SP1 with November 2012 Cumulative Update ( available from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2687623 )
Outlook 2007 SP3 with November 2012 Cumulative Update ( available from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2687404 )
Entourage 2008 for Mac, Web Services Edition
Outlook for Mac 2011

Please note, each CU for Exchange 2013 is only supported for a period of 3 months after the release of the next CU. For example, if CU1 is released on 3/1 and CU2 is released on 6/1, CU1 support will end on 9/1.

Incorrect availability in Scheduling Assistant recurring meeting with another time zone

There is a specific problem with Scheduling Assistant availability showing incorrectly that I have reported to Microsoft and want to share with the community. The problem is reproducible in Outlook 2013 software, and likely other versions of Outlook as well.

Issue:

One person is creating appointments for another person in a different Time Zone.
When you select Time Zones in the meeting, you will see correct availability in Scheduling Assistant
When you change the meeting to a Recurring meeting, the Scheduling Assistant no longer displays the correct availability. If you send the meeting anyway, it will send for the correct time slot. Only the visual information shown in the Scheduling Assistant is wrong.
NOTE: This is not reproducible in OWA-- OWA will always show the logged-in user's time zone and you cannot customize it in a new meeting.

Walking through this with an example, let's say Diana Smith is in Pacific Time, and she is creating meetings for Peter Johnson who is in Mountain Time. Diana has all the correct permissions to create calendar meetings on Peter's calendar. Diana creates a new Meeting on Peter's calendar. She selects Time Zones and specifically calls out Mountain Time on the meeting.
Diana selects Scheduling Assistant and can see the 12pm-1pm window is free on Peter's calendar. Wonderful!

Then, Diana selects Recurrence. Diana doesn't select a different time-- the Recurrence still shows 12pm-1pm Mountain Time.

Diana goes back to Scheduling Assistant and the availability jumped back one hour-- visually indicating that Peter is not free -- even though we know he is!
This is easiest to recreate by adding and removing a Recurrence that "Ends after 1 occurrence".

If Diana sends the appointment anyway, it will still send it for 12pm-1pm Mountain time and does not create a time conflict for Peter, even though he appears busy in the Scheduling Assistant.

If Diana removes Recurrence, the availability shows correctly!

In this business scenario, Diana is either forced to either :

work in her own Time Zone always, or
use two new meeting windows when working with other Time Zones: One non-Recurring meeting that is used to check true availability in Scheduling Assistant, and one that is the actual Recurring meeting that she needs to create for Peter.

This is not great for Diana, who does a lot of delegate work for employees in other time zones and must make recurring meetings for them often.

The official response from Microsoft was this:
I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you, But this is something which even we are getting when tested in our lab. It's the normal behavior of Outlook.

Issue with Surface Pro 4 pen and word document tables

Hi,

We recently received Surface Pros at work for the purposes of performing our regulatory inspections, with the idea being that we could write on the word documents using the surface pro pen while out in the field. However, our checklists are in the form of a table, with a row for each checklist question. The problem is that when I past the first page, and try to write with the pen in the table on subsequent pages, the ink mark will show up on every single page in the same spot. I'm a fairly advanced Microsoft Word user, and have tried everything in regards to adjusting my table settings, etc. How can I stop this from happening? It makes the Surface Pro useless for our purpose if we can't complete our checklists without the "ink" from the pen rendering on every page of the table.Thanks

Using Excel as a datas source for MDX query parameters

So I have the following Query:

SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Count] } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY { ([Organization].[Org Name].[Org Name].ALLMEMBERS * [Programs].[Name].[Name].ALLMEMBERS ) } DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS FROM (
SELECT ( {

[Programs].[Program SK].&[55fad8c42767ca0dfc6eefeb],
[Programs].[Program SK].&[56d9ec25179a5e0a187dc0a2],
[Programs].[Program SK].&[5755c2e1c65af00d80f0963e],
[Programs].[Program SK].&[57600e3a4abc99039c221b18]

} ) ON COLUMNS FROM (
SELECT (STRTOMEMBER("[Date].[Date SK].&[" + Format(@FromDateDateSK,"yyyyMMdd") + "]", CONSTRAINED) :
STRTOMEMBER("[Date].[Date SK].&[" + Format(@ToDateDateSK,"yyyyMMdd") + "]", CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [Clicks])) WHERE ( [Programs].[Program SK].CurrentMember ) CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FORMATTED_VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGS

It works as expected and the report runs good...BUT...I have to create the same report for many program sets, these sets are maintained in excel either as different files or can be all together on one file and different tabs. In other words, each file/Tab would contain a set of programs by customer, so if I have lets say 10 customers I would have to create 10 reports and replace the specific programs on the query.

So I'm trying to get ideas on how to "parameterize" the report. So far I have tried working with excel as a data source to access a table that would have all the file names so the user can select the file for a specific customer and then pull the programs from the selected file and "create the custom query". Is this something doable?

Any other ideas on how to accomplish this?

Batch file to check if java 8u111 installed and run installer if it is not

Hi guys

I've been tasked @ our company to deploy a java (version 8 update 111) tol all domain joined computers. I have a few question regarding this task

Is GOO Sofware installation is good to achieve the goal? [i've read a lot of forums and many guys says that GPO is worst way to accomplish the task. Most of guys advice to use startup script which will install java.exe itsel on computer startup.
is there a script that first would chek if java 8 update 111 is installed, if not, install new version of required version of java.

To be honest I'd like to use startup script and I can:

remove old java setup 6u2 - shutdown script: wmic product where "name like 'Java(TM) 6%'" call uninstall
I. An install new java with /quiet switch with no problem

I just cannot check if 8u111 is installed first. My script would always reinstall jaba 8u111 everytime when computer boots.

Need sometching like the

if java 8u111 is installed then exit bat else run installer /quiet

every help would be greatly appreciated.

First, this is not a "I need help deploying a software" forum. Those questions are best asked in forums specific to that topic, or you can ask the vendor.

Second, you may have missed the first post from the top of this forum:

This forum is for scripting questions rather than script requests

When we used to use Java I deployed updates with a GPO with never an issue.

The Java forums will help you to achieve this correctly. Post in the Oracle Java forum for Windows and someone will likely havee instructions.

You need to ask you question in the Oracle forums. I recommend getting some help understanding how Java is installed and replaced. We cannot teach you this. You can also try searching for others with the same issue as your question has been asked many times.

It means you are not asking in the correct place.
