There isn't a list of rules... Basically the person should impress one of the council members of the Forum Ninjas Blog, by his activities in the MSDN and TechNet forums.

First step: make sure that the user fit as TOP CONTRIBUTOR in the forums.
* Usually this mean about 1k points in a month more or less, for long time.
Points are not the only parameter to check activities but it is a basic and simple parameter that can be good starting point. 

Second: Add a link to the user profile, so we will have the tools to check his activities in the forums

Tabular Model : Adding attibutes to a folder(Display folder).

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to add some of my attributes (like name and location) to a folder but not able to add them as we don't have an option called <CalculationProperty> for non calculated columns.

I have added calculated measured to the required folders easily by adding the "Display folder" tag under calculation property tags. but we don't have <CalculationProperty>  option to the normal attributes.

Could you please help me in adding the non calculated columns to folders?

Kiran

Need help with sliding sessions on SharePoint 2013

My setup uses claims based authentication with an SQL membership provider.

I'm trying to get sliding expiration to work.  

I added the the following method in global.asax file  based on http://michael-mckenna.com/blog/the-problem-with-absolute-token-expiration-in-windows-identity-foundation-wif

protected void SessionAuthenticationModule_SessionSecurityTokenReceived(object sender, SessionSecurityTokenReceivedEventArgs e)  {   DateTime now = DateTime.UtcNow;   DateTime validFrom = e.SessionToken.ValidFrom;   DateTime validTo = e.SessionToken.ValidTo;     if ((now < validTo) && (now > validFrom.AddMinutes((validTo.Minute - validFrom.Minute) / 2)))    {    SessionAuthenticationModule sam = sender as SessionAuthenticationModule;    e.SessionToken = sam.CreateSessionSecurityToken(e.SessionToken.ClaimsPrincipal, e.SessionToken.Context,    now, now.AddMinutes(SLIDING_TIMEOUT_VALUE), e.SessionToken.IsPersistent);    e.ReissueCookie = true;    }   }

I used Fiddler to monitor the connection and see a new FedAuth cookie sent to the browser whenever the "if" condition is satisfied.  The problem is that the session still times out.  When I compared the value of re-issued FedAuth to that of the earlier FedAuth, the values were identical even though the times for ValidFrom and ValidTo of the session token should be different.

Why does the value not change?  What am I missing?

Update: According to  https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh446526.aspx,

A cookie (usually named FedAuth) that can exist either as a persistent or in-memory cookie represents the SharePoint session token. This cookie contains a reference to the SAML token that SharePoint stores in its token cache. The SAML token contains the claims issued to the user by any external identity and federation providers, and by the internal SharePoint security token service (STS).

It looks like my assumption that FedAuth should change was wrong.

Unfortunately, when I set the cookie lifetime to 20 minutes then start uploading a bunch of files that take more than 20 minutes, the POST requests still get redirected the login page at 20 minutes. That's despite Fiddler showing that a "new" FedAuth cookie is set.

Windows update agent 7.6.7600.256 stops windows updates

I am trying to fully update my Vista Home Premium 32bit laptop fully prior to installing Windows 7 update. All goes well until the new update agent installed. My laptop would not download updates after that. The update agent downloaded and installed without my instruction. I had purposely set the downloads to my choosing to download and install. This is the 3rd time I have reloaded windows to correct the corruption from the windows update agent so I am certain of the exact point updates stopped working. I have a Toshiba laptop that is running fine. I want to know If there is any way to keep this Malware from loading again. I have been seeing that Windows 7 has been having the same trouble with this same Update Agent.  I have tried all the Microsoft Fixit and readiness tools with no effect on the offending update agent and since we cannot uninstall this How am I going to update from this point? I don't trust that installing Windows 7 will do anything to solve the problem of the corruption from this update agent 7.6.7600.256.

What are the solutions to limit user to choose from specific range of time in Date & Time field when having entered values in other 2 fields?

I have to create a dynamic form using SharePoint 365.

1. I have an excel table with certain data:


2. The fields in SharePoint are with names and column types as follows:

"Topic" - Drop-down list

"Require coffee" - Checkbox

"Date and Time" - Date & time

3. The NewForm page looks like this:

And here I am stuck. If a field Topic contains "Job interview" and if a field Require Coffee contains a tick (value Yes), then the field Date and Time can not have time values from 00:00 to 12:55. In this case the SharePoint user should only select time values since 1 PM (from 13:00 to 23:55), because in Excel table the Valid time is 'since 1 PM'.

It is needed because SharePoint users could sort of book a meeting room without having to look at excel table. I want that SharePoint itself could limit the choice of Date and Time selection according to given data in excel table. It would be great when filling the form, SharePoint would inform a user about what time he/she could specify if he/she selected a Topic (Job interview/etc.) and Require Coffee (Yes/No)

To implement that, I consider these solutions:

a) if it is possible, it would be great to limit the selection range of times according to Topic and Require Coffee field changes;

b) in SharePoint create 1 page to select Topic and Require Coffee, then click Next to move on to the second form page that informs what is the 'Valid time', then clicking Next to move on to the third form page and to select the Date and Time, that has validation from Valid date;

c) Add a code snippet which puts custom validations on Date and Time according to Topic and Require Coffee field values;

That is what I can come up with. Are there any other solutions (NOT using VB or Infopath) to limit the Date and Time field value selection and inform the user about that?


Reply:

Hi ignas- about the only way you can accomplish what you want without using a form tool like InfoPath is to completely custom code a form using JS.

Hi Cameron,

If I understand correctly, in NewForm page on SharePoint webpage I would need to add a code snippet. How would JS code look like? I need a code fragment for this case so I could use it as a template for implementing even larger and different excel tables.

I assume that JS code should have a while loop according to multiple changes on "Topic" and "Require Coffee" fields. I slightly imagine the code but I am having trouble writing it.


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

You can achieve this by Infopath, Nintex forms.

or I guess also doable with JavaScript and Jquery.

Mahi


Please Mark as answer if found useful :)


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

I see. It would be better to use JS.

As I imagine logic should be something like:

var field....

var field.topic...

var field.requireCoffee...

switch (field.topic, field.requireCoffee) {

case field.topic == "Policy Issues" && requireCoffee == "Yes"

// in Date&Time field limit the time choice from 10:00 to 23:59.

case ...

}

I do not know how to properly select and define Topic field and Require coffee field. Any ideas?

T CENTER IDEA

I am proposing an idea called "T Center"  a modern intelligence center that can scan a computer and figure out all its problems especially if it is connected to the internet. Most people are not computer literate especially when it comes to the technical aspects of the computer and yet there are certain instructions users are expected to enter manually using MS-DOS, whenever a user troubleshoots his/her computer personally he/she is told to use MS-DOS to input instructions. I posted a question, why can there be a "T Center" that helps a user solve the computer's problem from the "T Center" rather than manually inputting data via MS-DOS? For example, my laptop was updated to windows 10 and since then whenever i start the system it alerts me of "Product Not Valid information" which i made research and found out it's due to the update, some of my details are missing and i need to enter it but i have to use MS-DOS to input the details and i did but it never worked. I used all the methods i found online and one will expect to have a unit or center that one can easily update this details. Also my hibernating, sleep and shut down always stops working whenever i upgrade, i have to reset one thing or the other. But with the "T Center" one will simply click scan and it will alert you of all the problems, just like troubleshoot (T Center) and it will also show you Fix options to choose from and once you click fix, it will fix it. It can be done, and i am very willing to create solutions as to how. 

 What am saying is, just like you have settings, Microsoft can create a "Troubleshooting Center (T Center)" that will help users solve system problems automatically with different options to choose from. e.g

T Center

To Update System Details  (edit)

         System Name

         System Number 

         etc

and one can easily do this without using MS-DOS

Power Options (edit)

           Hibernating 

           Sleep

           Shutting Down

 (to solve hibernating, sleep, shutting down problems)

etc

solving your problems made easy


Reply:

there is already a troubleshooting center in windows 10:
First, press the keyboard shortcut Windows key + Q to open the Windows search. Second, type troubleshoot into the search bar and choose theTroubleshooting Control Panel entry.

When switching to "View all", I count 25 different troubleshooters, and of course there is one of network problems.

DR Options for Persistent Chat with Pool Paired Standard Edition Servers

Hi,

Currently have 2 Skype for Business Standard Edition servers pool paired across 2 data centres for DR.

I would like to install persistent chat role on a separate server (e.g. not collocated on the SE server), and own instance of SQL.

AIM:  Achieve some kind of PCHAT failover such that in DR, I can bring up the SE and CHAT servers in the DR site, with as little data loss and interruption to the end users.

If I install 2 persistent chat servers, 1 at each DC/Site that the existing SE servers are deployed at - how can I achieve DR, if at all.

Like SE DR, i appreciate that this is going to involve manual failover.

My assumption is that I cannot pool pair the two PChat servers - but could achieve DR of the SQL backend by using SQL mirroring or SQL Always On. 

What would be the high level procedure for failover to the PChat server located in the DR site?

Also, would it be possible to have the PChat servers configured in Active/Active state so users could access via PCHAT via any of the PCHAT servers?

If active / active, then I would need separate namespaces but if Active / Passive - could I just use the same namespace and update DNS to point to the current active PChat server?

Thanks for any help or advice in deploying this kind of configuration - there's lots of information for Enterprise Pools, but very little coverage of SE Pools for PChat DR.


Reply:

Hi Paul.

You can deploy a pool of pchat servers with up to 8 servers, where 4 will be active and 4 will be passive. For the SQL backend you should have either SQL Always On or SQL mirroring, might depend on latency between your Prod DC and DR DC.

As you can have up to 4 active servers in the pool, they will both be actice.

You need a poolname, like pchatpool01.domain.ad, pointing to both pChat servers or a load balancer VIP (port 5041).

I hope this answers your question, otherwise please respond to the thread.

What is the minimum permission for adding or removing delegates

What is the minimum permission that needs to be added to an account for it to be able to add and remove delegates to a mailbox.

I am not looking to add the account as a delegate, I am looking to allow the account to assign delegates to user mailboxes.

I am assuming it will be an Exchange Role assignment, but I am not entirely sure which role can deal with this in particular.

Thanks for your help!

Hi

Please check if you have any discovery search mailboxes/user, you can remove it if not used and then just re-create it again after the setup.

I need to copy many pictures stored in several folders, i.e.:

Z:\Pictures\03

...
Z:\Pictures\99

Destination folder is TEMP folder %temp% or in my case: c:\Users\Nemanja\AppData\Local\Temp\

From source folders I need to copy only jpegs that DO NOT already exist in Temp folder.

Can anyone help me with this, please?

You can either use CM Current Branch and a upgrade Task sequence to upgrade to Windows 10. No need to take about the user state as it will be preserved by Windows setup.
Or (also using CM Current Branch): capture the user state using USMT, wipe and load and restore the user state using USMT.

"what if a client machine is BITlocked - does it support the in-place upgrade?"

It does. Upgrading from win8.1 to Win10 inplace will automatically suspend bitlocker for the time of the upgrade and will re-enable it later. For Win7, this will not happen automatically, but you'll need to configure bitlocker to stay suspended for at least three reboots, make it 5, just to make sure and activate it again after the upgrade.

The command would be

manage-bde -protectors -disable C: -rc 5

Problem is: win7 does not know the parameter -rc (= "reboot count"). Please try and see if you can set the parameter using WinPE (Win10 setup command line, for example). Just for a test.

If that does not work, you'll need to decrypt and re-encrypt (with all consequences: new keys) win7 in order to do inplace upgrades on it.
