Using the SharePoint REST service to update items, ran into this error:
Unable to update the sharepoint document – An error occurred while processing this request.System.Data.Services.Client.DataServiceClientException: <?
xml version=”1.0″ …
…..
at System.Data.Services.Client.DataServiceContext.SaveResult.<HandleBatchResponse>d_1e.MoveNext()
The target list was set to require checkout before items could be updated. Once I set require checkout to No, the REST service was able to update items.
Lists that use InfoPath for the display and edit forms were randomly producing errors. It was randomly happening because, one of the WFE servers in the farm was out of sync.
To test, I logged into each WFE, then tried to display the list forms. Testing worked on one box but failed on the other.
From the WFE that was not displaying the forms, I ran the following command.
From the start menu, locate the Command Prompt icon, right click on it, then click on Run as administrator. One the command window opens, paste in the command below.
regsvr32 “C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE14\htmlchkr.dll”
This will not cause an IISreset.
Couple of the errors in the log.

Recently had a scenario where I needed to move a bunch of libraries from different sites, to another farm. Every library was titled the same, so when I went to import the libraries, I ran into a small issue. Using a combo of Export-SPweb and Import-SPweb, I moved a library over, then updated the library url and name to the source site name.
if ((Get-PSSnapin “Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell” -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -eq $null)
{
Add-PSSnapin “Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell”
}
$webURL = “http://sharepointed.com/sites/taco”
$before = “LibBefore”
$after = “LibAfter”
#Change the URL of the library
$web = Get-SPWeb $webURL
$web.lists[$before].RootFolder.MoveTo($after)
$Web.Dispose()
#Update the library name
$web = Get-SPWeb $webURL
$list = $web.Lists[$after]
$list.Title = $after
$list.Update()
$web.Dispose()
Couple notes.
You might be able to shorten the script to rename and update in a couple lines of code.
If you use the script to change the URL of a list, the list will moved to the root of the site. it will no longer live at site/lists.
*I have not tested this with libraries or list that workflows associated with them. It’s also safe to assume any links to documents would be broken.*
SharePoint search results were not correct or would be missing some data. After hours of digging around, I noticed that one Search Scope was empty. To try and fix this, I went as far as reseting the search index, yes, clearing out all the search data. No fun!
Here is what I found to work.
List Settings
Allow items from this list to appear in search results?
Change this to NO
Run a crawl on the Content Source.
Go back to List Settings.
Allow items from this list to appear in search results?
Change this to YES
Run a crawl on the Content Source.
My Search Scope filled up.
Search was working again!
EDIT –
I first wrote this post back in 2013, and Microsoft has made a change in how this works.
, and then select Site settings. If you don’t see Site settings, select Site information, and then select View all site settings.https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/crawl-site-content
As we all know, digging through SharePoint groups looking to see what users are in each, is no fun.
To solve this, I created a new List, and added the groups I wanted to monitor. Then, added a little PowerShell to update a column in the List with the members in each group.
Setup:
Create a new List.
New Columns:
SPgroup
Type: Person or Group
Allow selection of: People or Group
Users
Type: Multiple lines of text
Specify the type of text to allow:
Update Column:
Title
Require that this column contains information: No
The PowerShell script below does the following:
Get the SharePoint Site and List.
Loop through each item in the List.
Retrieve the value of the SPgroup field.
Truncate the Users field.
Loop through the users in the SPgroup.
Update the Users field with the values from SPgroup.
if(-not(Get-PSSnapin | where { $_.Name -eq "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"}))
{
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell;
}
$sSite = Get-SPweb "http://reinmoto.com/sites/taco"
$sList=$sSite.Lists["SP Group Permissions"]
$i = 0
foreach($item in $sList.Items)
{
$sFieldValue = $item["SPgroup"].ToString().Split('#')[1]
$sGroup = $sSite.SiteGroups[$sFieldValue]
If($sGroup.Users.Count -ge 0)
{
$item["Users"] = ""
$item.Update()
foreach($usr in $sGroup.Users)
{
if($i -eq 0)
{
$item["Users"] = $usr.DisplayName
}
else
{
$item["Users"] = $item["Users"] + ", " + $usr.DisplayName
}
$item.Update()
$i=$i+1
}
$i=0
}
}
$sSite.dispose()
Save the PowerShell script to your server.
Create a scheduled task to run the script hourly, daily, weekly, monthly…
How many My Sites (MySites) are currently enabled in my Farm?
if(-not(Get-PSSnapin | where { $_.Name -eq "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"}))
{
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell;
}
$site = Get-SPsite "http://mysite.sharepointed.com/"
$spWebApp = $site.WebApplication
$log = "c:\test.txt"
foreach($site in $spWebApp.Sites)
{
$site.url | Out-File $log -Append
$site.Dispose()
}
load the powershell snapin.
get the Web App hosting your My Sites.
set a variable to where you want the script to output the results to.
loop through all the sites in the Web App, and output them to your text file.
