Having an issue installing the 2010 R2 RC Following the guide on a VM I'm at the point of "Install Service and Portal" SharePoint 2010 Foundation is Installed. Centeral Admin comes up fine. The Default Team Site is running on Port 80 I went to services and started and verified the SharePoint Administration Service is Running. When running the FIM Installer for the Service and Portal I get the following: The features you have selected have the following prerequisites. Refer to the installation guide for more information. Please udate your machine and retry the installation. -SharePoint. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Jonathan Also is there a Pre-Configured VM for download of the RC?

Custom Cmdlet in Exchange Remote PowerShell

Hi,

First of all, I'm a C# developper and I'm only working on Powershell for two weeks, so I'm sorry if the answer of my question is trivial.

 

We've just installed Exchange Server 2010 SP1 and to make the administration a lot easier, I've made some PSCmdlet in C#. I successfully build those commands in a .dll and if I open a "Exchange Management Shell" on the server, with a Import-Modue I can execute the commands without any problem.

 

Now what I would like to do is to invoke thoses commands from a C# app running on different workstation. I can run the classical exchange commands (Get-Mailbox...) but my commands are unknown and I can't run Import-Module or Add-PSSnapIn neither.

 

Does anybody knows how to configure PowerShell on the server to always expose my own commands ?

 

Here is the code I used to connect to the remote powershell :

  System.Security.SecureString password = new System.Security.SecureString();  foreach (char c in PASSWORD.ToCharArray())  {   password.AppendChar(c);  }  PSCredential psc = new PSCredential(DOMAIN + @"\" + USERNAME, password);  WSManConnectionInfo rri = new WSManConnectionInfo(new Uri(string.Format(SERVER_URL, SERVER_HOST)), "http://schemas.microsoft.com/powershell/Microsoft.Exchange", psc);  rri.AuthenticationMechanism = AuthenticationMechanism.Basic;  rri.SkipCACheck = true;  rri.SkipCNCheck = true;  rri.SkipRevocationCheck = true;    Runspace runspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(rri);  runspace.Open();    PowerShell ps = PowerShell.Create();  ps.Runspace = runspace;    PSCommand command = new PSCommand().AddCommand("Import-Module");  command.AddParameter("Name", @"C:\ma.dll");    ps.Commands = command;    var r = ps.Invoke();


Thanks,

 

Luc

Now, to be honest, you mention Exchange 2010 and are coding against WSMan...  From my understanding, Exchange 2010 is very dependent on PowerShell remoting (using WSMan) working properly, and I would highly recommend not playing with that myself.

If you have a test environment great, but be warned...

Thanks for your answer.

 

It certain I'll be prudent if I have to play with Exchange, what I'll like to do is just to add my snapin available remotly in the powershell session.

Open modal dialog after running server side code

Hi,

I have created a web part the has a text box and a search button, when a name is searched for and the search button is clicked i want the C# code to search for the name in an SPList and if only one name matches then javascript function openDetailsModal() i.e.

<script type="text/javascript">
    function openDetailsModal()
    {
        var options =
       {
           url: "/_layouts/StaffSearch/StaffDetails.aspx",
           width: 500,
           title: "Employee Details"
       };
        SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);
    }
</script>

should be called. I've tried it with register scriptblock after the validation checks have been made, tried putting it on the aspx page and the using button.attributes.add("onclientclick", "return openDetailsModal(); return false;"); then trying button.attributes.add("onclientclick", "return openDetailsModal(); return false;"); with or without the return false. Nothing seems to work!!

If duplicate names are found in the list then the two item links which will be passed as query stings to the modal should appear in a panel on the page as perhaps hyperlinks. This is why I havent done everything client side then pass the querystring from the text box, validation needs to occur first.

any suggestions please (anything is much appreciated)!!

Try this:

  protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)    {       //make modal dialog script.    string script =    @"    var modalDialog;    function ShowDialogTest() {    var options = {    url: '/_layouts/StaffSearch/StaffDetails.aspx',    tite: 'Employee Details',    allowMaximize: false,    showClose: false,    width: 500,    height: 600 };    modalDialog = SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);    }";    //register the script.    ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), ClientID, script, true);       }

hi,

thanks for the reply, ive tried it but still no luck, just an error saying 'this object does not support this property or method' I put the script in the button click event, then treid on page load (although I wouldnt want the modal to open automatically)

With you code dont you need something to call the function ShowDialogTest() ?

 I tried taking out the function and using

   protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string script =
            @" 
            var modalDialog; 
                var options = { 
                    url: 'http://www.google.com', 
                    tite: 'Employee Details', 
                    allowMaximize: false, 
                    showClose: false, 
                    width: 500, 
                    height: 600 }; 
                modalDialog = SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);";
           
            //register the script. 
            ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), ClientID, script, true);
        }

but still no luck, any other suggestions?

many thanks

Full example:

1. Create Visual WebPart:

thanks again i'll give that ago, I have one visual studio project with a visual web part and an application page. I'll try addding in the execute or delay

just tried it, its working!! its funny i had just added that line before reading but had ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(ShowDialogTest(), 'sp.js')"; so wouldnt work anyway, i dont get why you dont add the brackets when calling a method, but its working so im happy!!

I probably should have allowed close on the dialog though!

many thanks :)

Windows OS requirement for FIM CM?

According to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg418594%28WS.10%29.aspx the operating system installation requirements for FIM CM are:

"FIM CM is supported when installed on servers running Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition 64-bit or Datacenter Edition 64-bit or Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise. FIM CM is not supported on 32-bit versions of Windows Server 2008."

In other words:

  • Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition 64-bit
  • Windows Server 2008 Datacenter Edition 64-bit
  • Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition 64-bit

 

I'm about to install it on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter Edition, isn't that supported?

Cant use aero peek

Hey guys. i installed this on my laptop and i noticed that i cant do the aero peek. what that basically is is that when you put the cursor over an open window, it doesnt pop up. it only comes up and shows whats open (as in like Mozilla Firefox - Google.com) doesnt actually show a thumbnail. this seems like its not assigned to the right theme. i went into themes and changed it around and nothing. any suggestions?

You must go to System > Advanced System Settings > Performance Settings >Uncheck Aero Peek > Apply > Recheck Aero Peek > Apply. 
Make sure Aero peek is still on when you go to Taskbar properties

All i did was troubleshoot it, after a few flickers it came back to normal, my resolution was high and my Areo theme came back to life. I recommend you all to troubleshoot the Aero theme.

Try the Aero troubleshooter.

Open Control Panel/Troubleshooting.
Under Appearance and Personalization, select the Display Aero desktop effects.

In the Troubleshooter dialog, click the Advanced link and place a check mark in the Apply Repairs Automatically option.

Click Next to run the troubleshooter.

Let us know the results.

If you have an Aero Theme enabled, just drag the mouse and make the pointer hover over the Show desktop button and right click it, it'll give u two options, Show desktop and Peek at desktop, select peek at desktop... if dat option is not available then u need 2 check whether the aero theme has been enabled....

For the first time you cant use aero feature..

once you change to any theme the greyed aero option gets activated!

then select any theme you want and enjoy aero peek feature in windows 7!!

I was having this problem, (greyed out checkbox and all) when I suddently realised I had some software running at that moment with some compatibility features activated.
(in the application executable properties window I had all 3 "Disable..." settings checked)

I closed the program and my aero peek came back. I relaunch the program without any compatibility feature enable and aero peek is still there :)

my old XP software might be slightly slower this way but I have my aero peek.

I had same problem for months and I took the advice of changing my theme and it worked. Thank You so much....My Aero Option was grayed out and my open windows were displayed in XP style....Hated it...I went to themes and changed it back to HP Basic and High Contrast Themes (6) and it came right back. All the other ones made it go back to NOT being able to preview the Aero above Taskbar.

Last weekend for some reason aero p[eek stopped working.

Now I have the word Start instead of the start icon and a little box instead of the blank window at the far right of the taskbar which you use to show desktop. Peek is not avaiolable for selection on this button.

In Themes all the Aero themes plus the installed theme that came from Acer with the laptop show monochrome and rfuse to allow me to select them.

In the Appearances setting there is no button saying Enable Aero Peak as mentioned in a few entries about fixing Aero peek.

Also I am hitting issues regularly now with 100% CPU when there is nothing much running at all according to Task manager - and no sign of nay malware etc.

There is a message at boot uop about a service failing to start but no mention about what it is and it also says it couldnt contact System event Viewer to report it. The message says that standard users would not be allowed to log on because of this error.

Any ideas?

It looks like no remote access policies have rules allowing access. I would check your remote access policy and make sure nobody has messed with it. Alternatively, you can make a new remote access policy to apply to the machines and set it higher in the list to apply and see if it corrects the issue. If it does, I defer to my 2nd sentence :)

Profile Site Update - December 1st

Some nice changes coming today to your profiles. Hope you like them and use this thread to chat more about them!

Point History Graph - the second part of our statistics work is going live today. At the top of a profile page you'll see a time graph representing accumulated points over the time a persons profile has existed. Looking at a profile you'll see when they were active, how many points earned in that month and points at that particular month. We plan to add more interaction to the graph over time (such as zooming, achievements earned when, etc.). Please note there are a couple of bugs we will address in our next release including duplicate months being shown at the start or end of the graph.

Pie Charts - For Activities by Application and Points by Application, you'll see the tabular data replaced with pie charts. When you hover over a piece of the pie you'll see the actual value along with the percentage of that piece. See someone new in the forums, you'll be able to quickly tell if they've spent time elsewhere in our network with ease. Note there is also one design bug here where the colors between the two pie charts aren't always mapped to the same application. We'll fix that in the next release as well.

Missing Achievements - There was another report or two of some achievements not being awarded. We've found that issue and those achievements will appear again over the next week. We'll actually be recalculating all achievement progress to ensure we catch anything else that might be hiding away.

Hover User Cards - There was some feedback that the hover cards we display when you hover over a users name, appeared to easily. We've tweaked that some to make that a better experience.

Avatar Restrictions - If your avatar when converted and resized exceeded 8KB, the system just stopped processing the rest of the image. Apparently that's not really a good idea. ;-) So we've fixed that so that we process the whole image.

 

Btw, we have heard the request to flip the activity and stats tabs. We haven't done that yet and are still collecting data around usage of both tabs. We are also working through a design update (that activity feed really does need it) so we'll be addressing what order we have the tabs in conjunction with this other work.

All this should be live by 6pm PST today.

one cosmetic thing i noticed is, in the pie charts, the colors arent assigned fixed (or at least not the same), so in activity forums can be blue while in points forums is for example green. might be worth to have the colors the same in both charts. no biggie though, I like the charts

edit: my bad, the colors are already mentioned. sorry

I like the idea of a chart that shows points over time, but I do not think it should be at the top of the page.  If anything, it should be below the points summary.  The most pertinent information should be listed first.

I am also not sure about the pie charts, as it is very difficult to work with on mobile devices (no hover functionality).

I believe that is due to them not counting 'Code Answers' towards the Forums Answerer achievements.  There are arguments either way as to why they did that, and I think they went the correct way with their decision (or else EVERY answer would have some type of code snippet for max points/achievements).

I don't know if it could be so: when I've answered the 150th answer, I've immediately earned the "Forums Answerer III" Silver achievement and some of my answers contained code snippets, but they were all counted.
According to the FAQ page, answers with code should be differently counted (that's my opinion, of course) in order to earn the "Code Answerer" achievements: but they're all answers, I presume.

No Worries. Right now the colors are being assigned due to a sorting on highest to lowest points/activity counts. That sorting will be removed and we'll assign specific colors to the apps.

As noted in the announcement post, we are completing a recalc of all achievements. Those if you missing achievements will earn them once the recalc is back up to date. It is going slower than expected but will be done eventually. ;-) Hang tight and you'll be rewarded for your work.

I've noticed that something was wrong after answering a few more than 500 answers: according to the "Recognition System" section in the FAQ page, I should earn the "Forums Answerer IV" gold achievement but the medal still does not appear on my profile page.

Bye.

I believe that is due to them not counting 'Code Answers' towards the Forums Answerer achievements.  There are arguments either way as to why they did that, and I think they went the correct way with their decision (or else EVERY answer would have some type of code snippet for max points/achievements).

I don't know if it could be so: when I've answered the 150th answer, I've immediately earned the "Forums Answerer III" Silver achievement and some of my answers contained code snippets, but they were all counted.
According to the FAQ page, answers with code should be differently counted (that's my opinion, of course) in order to earn the "Code Answerer" achievements: but they're all answers, I presume.

As noted in the announcement post, we are completing a recalc of all achievements. Those if you missing achievements will earn them once the recalc is back up to date. It is going slower than expected but will be done eventually. ;-) Hang tight and you'll be rewarded for your work.


Thank you for the feedback, Sean.
I've noticed the problem for the "general" answers, but you know it's difficult to track it for Wiki or Blog comments.

Bye.

Thanks for the feedback Rich. We'll take a look at how it works further down the page.

As to the pie charts, I found on my phone and table that I can click the pie chart pieces and the data appears.

Using my profile as an example, my wiki points currently account for 1.28% of my total points.  This makes it almost impossible to click on that sliver of the pie, as it is so small.

With the chart, it would also be helpful to have the actual numbers floating above or below the data points.  This would give you more meaningful information at first glance and make it easier for us mobile users.

You're right, Rich: I'm having the same problem with my Wiki points.
I also suggest you to display Wiki revision comments separated from simple comments, because these two types of comments are also used for different kind of achievements earning: for example, the number of revision comments could be displayed in brackets "()" after the total number of comments; I think it could be important displaying them separately.

Bye.

What should i name my VIEW?

This is a name for a query in Access (linked to some TABLEs from SQL Server, at least), and is just humorous for us English language audial punsters. The case is real, the name has not been changed, and there is virtually no point to this exercise. But i did have to think a minute before naming it, so i wanted to share. :)

It's used as an intermediate step for export to Excel, for a quarterly report on Employee performance.

The query returns AVG() and SUM() by employee, by month, for all months in the last quarter. Whatever shall i name it?

  1. Sum Average
  2. Sum Average Employee
  3. Sum Average Employee of the Month
  4. Sum Average Employee Last Quarter
  5. Sum Average Employee of the Month Last Quarter
  6. Sum Employee Average
  7. Sum Employee Last Quarter
  8. Average Employee Last Quarter and Sum

Reply:
Employee Totals or Employee Last Quarter Totals. I don't think SUM or Average should be a part of the name, but the name should probably reflect as what this view is about, e.g. it can be more specific as what totals we're talking about.

Hi Brian !

It should also reflect which object it is reffering to. I would prefer to go with 'Sum_Average_Employee'.

Thanks, Hasham

Reply:
I am with Naomi, except you should probably look at something like <schema>.EmployeeTotals or <schema>.EmployeeTotalsLastQuarter. Before I get scolded, you can look into the ISO naming conventions as well, <schema>.employee_totals or <schema>.employee_totals_per_quarter.

EWS 2010 cannot access Exchange 2010 public folders

I have an application that accesses public folders. It was working well against Exchange 2007 public folders (ExchangeVersionType.Exchange2007_SP1)

Now, I am performing tests of the same code against Exchange 2010. I created a public folder database on the Exchange 2010 , with a public folder in it. I added a few e-mail messages in it using OUtlook 2007.

 

Now when I use my application, I try to perform a getfolder operation. I set ExchangeVersionType.Exchange2010 on ESB, and I am requesting DistinguishedFolderIdNameType.publicfoldersroot;

The call fails with a "The mailbox that was requested doesn't support the specified RequestServerVersion." I have not figured out any combinations of permissions or whatever that will make it work. Using a ExchangeVersionType.Exchange2007_SP1 makes the call fail with an internal server error.

Does anyone have any clues as to what must be done in order to be able to access Exchange 2010 Public Folders with EWS?

Here is the code of the call I perform. It is pretty basic stuff.

        // Set the requested version.

        p_Esb.RequestServerVersionValue = new RequestServerVersion();

        p_Esb.RequestServerVersionValue.Version = ExchangeVersionType.Exchange2010;        


        GetFolderType getFolderRequest = new GetFolderType();

        // Setup the information we want to receive.
        FolderResponseShapeType getFolderShape = new FolderResponseShapeType();
        getFolderShape.BaseShape = DefaultShapeNamesType.IdOnly;
        getFolderRequest.FolderShape = getFolderShape;
        // This is top folder.
        DistinguishedFolderIdType[] ids = new DistinguishedFolderIdType[1];
        DistinguishedFolderIdType folderId = new DistinguishedFolderIdType();
        folderId.Id = DistinguishedFolderIdNameType.publicfoldersroot;

        ids[0] = folderId;

        // Setup the target folder.
        getFolderRequest.FolderIds = ids;

        // Perform the operation.
        GetFolderResponseType folderResponse = p_ESB.GetFolder(getFolderRequest) <-- Boum

Thank you!

MDS 2012 RC0 - Custom Workflow

R2 Customworkflow does not appear to function in RC0 by default.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh270298(v=sql.110).aspx

It appears we have a new workflowtypeextender dll (Microsoft.MasterDataServices.WorkflowTypeExtender) which is different from Core(Microsoft.MasterDataServices.Core.Workflow).  Do we need to be aware of any config file setting change that may be required which need to be different from R2.  Appreiciate if anyone had tried the CustomWorkflow in 2012 RC0 and made it to work.  BTW: I am using .net framework 4. for building the custom library. 

Thanks, BVR

Instaling a Distribution Point in another region of my country and when i

i´m Installing a Distribution Point in another region of my country in a domain controller and when I need to copy the packages, the message "install Retry" or "install Pending" stay forever . what I need to do help please

Reply:
Two things are not best practise: (1) installing a DP on a DC and (2) installing a DP on a remote server (at the end of a WAN link).
distmgr.log will show details. I guess you haven't added the computer account of the site server to the local admin group of the DP (which equals domain admins because it's a DC).

Deployment Management/Advertisements

We have 6 deployment packages for separate categories (i.e. Win7, WinXP, Win Server 03/08, etc) and 6 different deployment management tasks/advertisements.  Each month I remove the expired/superseded updates and pull in the new updates from the update lists and update all DPs.  Is the general consensus to recreate new deployment management tasks (advertisements) or do most of you re-use the existing advertisements?  Just curious if there is a better method of the 2.

 

Thanks

Management of software updates depends upon you and org which you work for...

I've seen ppl creating monthly deployment management (new). Sustainer package which contains previous years updates.

Task Reminders - Erratic Behaviour

I have just received the following message from one of my customer's regarding Task Reminders. Can anyone assist with a possible solution.

 

One other point that, would appear rather minor, however, it causes real frustration concerns the task reminders.  In the past task reminders will come up and I would, if I did not need to deal with that task immediately, simply diarise it for 1 day, 4 days, a week whatever?  When that reminder came back up again it would simply offer me the same reminder period and I would click snooze.  Now, not only does it appear to fall back on to a default 15 minutes but, after I have gone through say, 3 of, what could be 50 task reminders, the task reminder simply appears to reboot itself in the most annoying fashion which means that I need to re-input the snooze period again.  It seems that after I have snoozed 3 of the tasks it simply falls back on to default which is extremely annoying given the amount of task reminders that I have.  The old Outlook did not do this and I wonder why the new one does?  Can anything be done?

 

Kind regards,

 

Brian King

I have experienced the same issue.  If I have, say, more than 8 or 10 reminders (task and calendar), the highlighted task is the one on the bottom of the list and I have to scroll down to it.  Then after changing the snooze time and clicking "snooze" (not every time, but usually after two or three) the window suddenly refreshes, and you not only lose what you were doing but, but the highlighted task is again the one at the bottom of the list.  So if you are working quickly what happens is that you inadvertantly snooze the item at the bottom of the list (often not knowing what it was).  This almost always occurs if you click to "Open" an item, change the due date, and save it again.  I agree that this seems like a minor issue, but it is annoying enough that it occassionally causes me to resort to using profanities.  :-)  And it does affect my productivity.

Installing denali next to 2008R2 instance.

The denali SSRS instance installed successfully on a server that already has a 2008R2 SSRS instance, however the RS Configuration Mgr for 2008R2 does not recognize the 2008R2 instance anymore.  The instance textbox is simply grayed out and cannot be connected to. Clicking Find button does not find the 2008R2 instance.  However, both 2008R2 and 2012 instance seem to be running and accessible via ReportServer web interface.

 

thanks

Hello,

You have to use the "Reporting Service Configuration Manager" of "Denali" to config the SSRS 2012 instance; of course.

With the configuration manager of SQL Server 2008R2 you can configurate only SSRS 2008R2 instances; not instances of other versions.

Hey, that is what I'm doing, the 2008R2 configurator does not see the 2008R2 instance anymore. Denali configurator does see the denali instance.

Error printing from Word 2007 from W2K8 R2 - "Windows cannot print due to the current print setup"

Details of the error below:

This error can appear if a default printer has not been designated or if the application is unable to locate an existing default printer. To correct this problem, try one of the following in Microsoft Windows:

·If a printer is not available in the Print dialog box, add a printer.

·If the application cannot find an existing printer that is already installed, set the printer as the default printer.

·If a default printer is installed but the application is unable to use it, uninstall the printer driver, and then install the latest version of the printer driver.

·If the printer is on a print server, make sure the printer is available, the network is functioning, the server is not stalled, the printer is not out of paper, or the printer is not suspended by the administrator. Printing issues associated with a network printer are best handled by your local network administrator.

For more information about setting up and troubleshooting printer connections, see Windows Help and Support. (Click the Start button, and then click Help and Support.)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Printer is an HP LaserJet 8000.  Print driver being used is W2K8 R2 SP2 Microsoft Inbox "HP LaserJet 4" version 6.0.6001.18000.  This issue has been reproduced several times.
The oddity is that when it occurs - print jobs still spool correctly from other applications, i.e. Excel 2007, Outlook 2007, notepad, Test pages, etc.  A logoff and logon will correct the issue for a bit, but it comes back.
