I had an issue recently where cookies were not being forwarded with the request in a 302 Redirect, but only in Internet Explorer. This worked fine in Chrome. The other interesting thing was that this was happening in an IFrame, the IFrame’s source was to a page that performed a redirect after setting a cookie. […]

On a dev server today I accidentally deleted all the timer jobs from the farm, via a bit of careless PowerShell. But rather than a full Farm rebuild, it’s fairly easily to re-provision all the out of the box timer jobs! Firstly, run the Configuration Wizard to reprovision the Farm-scoped Timer Jobs. Then, for each […]

I’ve been dealing with a content migration of a Publishing Site for a client, and came across an interesting error on some of the pages. The error specifically includes the above HRESULT (0x80070057), which is thrown after a call to PublishingPage.get_Layout(). It turns out that this particular page belonged on an old UAT site and […]

The August 2014 Cumulative Update for Microsoft SharePoint is apparently not that cumulative, as it doesn’t contain every change of every component since SP1. But apparently Stefan Gossner claims it is (the official word on this is here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/stefan_gossner/archive/2014/08/19/sharepoint-patching-demystified.aspx). I had to read this article three times to fully understand why it’s cumulative. And it […]

EDIT: Upon closer inspection of the DBCC CHECKDB output, running REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS might not have actually been the fix. The restart of SQLServer service, or dropping the database into Single User then back to Multi may have done the trick. Try these two steps before doing the full DBCC. As part of a project I’m working […]

Here’s a nice little freebie I thought I’d share. I have a scenario where I have a rather large batch process to run that I’ve decided to split up by creating dozens of timer jobs that process chunks of the batch, and also let me split the the job across all my SharePoint servers! You […]

This article concerns using the SharePoint Server Object model code within ASP.NET pages that are hosted on NON SharePoint web applications. Granted – for the majority of use-cases you would rather use the SharePoint Managed Client Object Model to perform the majority of your operations – but for the odd occasion where you have a […]

So it seems impossible to be able to create a new list from a custom list template (created in the UI and saved as a .STP file) using the client object model (JavaScript or Managed) – so in this particular project we got around it by generating a URL for the user to click onto […]

I’ve heard a little confusion lately about the use of the property “AllowUnsafeUpdates” on the SPWeb object and when it should be used. So I decided to do a little digging. According to MSDN, the definition of the property is: Gets or sets a Boolean value that specifies whether to allow updates to the database […]

Ok, so as partners, we are constantly faced with the decision of using either “SharePoint Social streams” or Yammer when deploying SharePoint to customers. The last I heard about this was from Jeremy Thake’s keynote speech at the SharePoint Saturday UK conference in November 2013. His guidance then was essentially: On premises (or otherwise self […]
