New Post: Update SP Profiles from AD in SP 2010 foundations

pstauss — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 19:23:22 GMT

We are using SP 10 Foundations so our SP directory contains outdated information. The AD information for a person comes to the SP directory once, and there is no two-way synchronization in SP 10 Foundations.

Consequently information about people who have left the company or have changed their information via AD is not updated in the SP directory.

We need a tool to perform this sync, even if it is just a daily refresh. Any thoughts?

Thank you.

I found the answer soon after I posted.

For WSS 3.0 and MOSS replace the following lines:

if (-not (Get-PSSnapin | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"}))

{
    Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell;
}

WITH

[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint")

Hi Paul,

Just wondering whether you managed to resolve this one. The script works great on a 2010 farm but I get the same error as you on the 2007 farm.

Your response will be appreciated.

Hi,

Is there a way of specifying the view to filter down the records to export. We have 30000+ records in a list and we mark the older ones as archived which we wish to use as a filter.

New Post: export wss list to csv

complexxL9 — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 09:05:40 GMT

Hi, I need to export wss 3.0 list to a .csv file.

I need to pick custom fields and rename them in csv.

For example in wss list I have:

Name, Last Name, Birth Date etc.

and in .csv I need to have those values under fields named:

gn, surname, date etc.

I have no scripting knowledge so even if I google it I am unable to adapt the code for my needs.

New Post: Defective command Get-SPProduct and the consequences for licensing

Tron42 — Tue, 10 Jul 2012 18:27:41 GMT

The command Get-SPProduct in snap-in Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell is defective. For 2010 the ProductName is always "Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010". The problem is that this command is supposed to query the Product not the Family of the product. So the expected result of this command should be "Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise" or "Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 Standard" or even "Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 Evaluation".

Now the only way to query this Product information for licensing is: Central Administration > Convert License Type. Only there the current license can be seen like "SharePoint Server with Enterprise Client Access License".

I am looking for a Powershell script that can retrieve this important information in a reliable way. Furthermore it would be nice if the bug in Get-SPProduct would be fixed in future SharePoint products.

New Post: Get-EffectiveSPPermissions error message on WSS 3.0 farm

paul_walker — Thu, 05 Jul 2012 08:52:06 GMT

Hi to all,

We have been advised to use the Get-EffectiveSPPermissions script by a Microsoft Engineer on our WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007 farm, to try and identify orphaned users and security prinicples on list items within a site collection. The lists were originally in excess of 15000, with security principles even greater and it is thought that this could be contributing to a reduction in system performance on a specific logic-based web application.

Having installed Powershell 2.0 on several of the farm servers (both Web Front End and Application servers running Windows 2008 and with the RemoteOnly Execution Policy enabled) I am unable to run the script as it returns the error message "WARNING: This computer does not seem to have Windows SharePoint Services installed! Please run this script on a server that is a member of a configured SharePoint farm. This script will now exit".

The confusing part is that all the servers are part of the specific SharePoint farm. If I load the SharePoint Assemblies manually and then query properties of a web application or other basic queries, I do get a response...I just cannot get this particular script to run.

If anyone has any suggestions or can see that I am blatantly doing something wrong, I would appreciate any help or advice anyone can give.

Sincere thanks

Paul

New Post: I am assuming that the users have to already be in AD?

fabrice69 — Wed, 27 Jun 2012 13:01:22 GMT

Dear Ray,

If you talk about add the AD Accounts in a WSS Membership for your teamsite, you can do it by add the permission set from the AD Group directly.

If you want to add each account in the SharePoint group, you can do it with a modified powershell (based on one of the existing) to export the users (simply the login) :

in an xml file. The XML can be load with another PS script and add each login account in your SharePoint group (loading the SP Object Model).
in a simple text file separted by ";". You can add the users login manually in your group management page

I think the second option could be the quicker if it's a one shot.

Sincerely

rgering — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 21:49:47 GMT

My main goal is to be able to add over 1,700 users to a wss site group from AD. If I have the users already created in AD, what csv file do I use and how do I format the fields?

Thank you very much for what I am sure is a great script, if I can only figure out how to run it!

Regards,

Ray

Updated Release: Export Import SharePoint list (Apr 30, 2012)

fabrice69 — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 16:13:45 GMT

These scripts help you for the content migration requests

This first script helps you if you need to move or copy a specify list from a SharePoint site to another.
You can find the two functions :

Export the list to a temporary folder in a file with the filename like "ExportList-82e4d6b9-60d4-4a01-980a-3e5d2bc1c54b.DAT"
Import the file (exported list) in a SharePoint site

This second script exports all the lists in the specify SharePoint (SPWeb) in sub-folder of the specified folder
You have to open the ps1 file and modify the last line with your internal values

This third script export all the content from a defined SharePoint list to a SQL Server DataBase, in a temporary table.
You have to open the ps1 file and modify the first and last line with your internal values
