could someone help me with a very basic (idiots) guide to the difference & interaction in SharePoint between a 'web application' and a site/site collection. And when it comes to access related permissions, e.g. who can access a document uploaded to a site, e.g. https:\\ourcompany\sites\ourteamsite - are access control related permissions typically set per site, or per 'web application'. If that was your concern (permissions) do you need to be focusing on 'site level' permissions, rather than the 'web applications' level permissions? Or where would you apply access control permissions in such a setup, generally?

I am trying to understand if your sharepoint server typically acts as a glorified file server, where lets say each team in the company has a locked down area for sharing files amongst their direct team colleagues, and each individual in the company has a personal area for files only accessible to them, and each of these areas are essentially 'sites' in sharepoint, then what exactly is a 'web application' in regards to sharepoint? is it in my link above, the https:\\ourcompany, which basically represents a collection of sub sites? I ran the cmdlet get-spwebapplication and all it essentially returns is a list of URL's.

hello SCCM guru's!

We are upgrading to SCCM 2012 R2 1810. However, the pre-req check fails on here: [Failed]:No Active MP Replica detected. (We do not even have a MP replica.)

All else passes. But it will not allow upgrade without resolving that error.

Any ideas on how to get past that?

Thank you for your assistance!

Renew Lync Group Chat certificates.
Our internal Chat server cert recently expired. Skype for business group chat has stopped working.
Skype for business 2010.
Does anyone know how to renew a certificate between the Chat server and the Lync server ?
Both are housed internally in our building.

Thanks!

Hello All!
I'm back again. So myself and another guy I work with have inherited the SCCM system from our predecessor who is no longer with the company. (hence all the SCCM related questions)

We are looking at upgrading to ConfigMgr 1810 from 1802. I'm doing some research to understand the process and make sure I am not missing anything major so that we can make this as seamless as possible.

Some basics about our setup:
-14 DP's of which 11 are Pull DP's
-1 Cloud DP
-Only run OSD from a single site - the Main SCCM site
-Have only recently begun expanding application deployment via SCCM, so minimal applications on the DP's at this point
-We have about 1500 clients installed including VM's, servers, and end user workstations

What I am wondering is what the major considerations we have to think about before we get this started. I'm speaking specifically to your experience and or resources. I have the MS TechNet upgrade checklist, back up procedures for the the site, and a step by step upgrade guide from System Center Dudes. We are planning on taking a snapshot of the SCCM server ahead of time to protect the system if it all blows up.

Would be great to get some insight from anyone with experience in this as I want to minimize the surprises (I know I can't eliminate them all) for this upgrade.

Thanks in advance! Looking forward to your insight!
Curtis,

Hello! I have an SBS 2011 server that uses SBS Fax service to route faxes in and out, delivering inbound to an email user. Worked like a champ for years, and then the ZOOM USB modem that was doing this job died and was replaced with a USB USR 5637. I have removed the drivers from the previous fax modem and installed the drivers for the new unit, and was able to run the fax configuration wizard from the SBS console and two problems occur. The first is the option for "route through email" is grayed out and not selectable. I opted to select store in a folder instead to complete the wizard successfully, and it errors out on Configuring US Robotics v.92.  Manually attempting to start the fax service results in a message that is does start successfully, but immediately stops, and the app log provides these errors 32108 and 1000 (below).  I have also removed and reinstalled the SBS fax service on the server with the same results.  Any thoughts on how to get this service functioning again as soon as possible?  TIA!

Hi Experts,

Is there a way to import xenapp applications from one farm to another? Existing farm is on xenapp 7.12 windows 2008 server, new farm is on xenapp 7.18 windows server 2016,  please advise .

I am interested in trying to use PowerShell against our company SharePoint portal, We have some automation Tools like MS Flow and Alteryx Server that we are leveraging and I am trying to connect to a Workflow History listing. However, it is hidden from these other tools and I hoping Powershell might be an option.

I am trying to install and get it to work our on AWS EC2 environment and I keep having a lot of trouble adding the Add-In for SharePoint,

I tried following this kind of instruction but had zero success.
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/opal/2010/03/07/sharepoint-2010-with-windows-powershell-remoting-step-by-step/

We are SharePoint Online/O365

Any suggestions?

Regards,

Adam

In our Sharepoint site, we have 2 lists.
One we'll call list A (which is the master list) and list B (which is almost the same list, but with less fields).

• List A is only accessible by a small group of persons (let's call the group G).
• List B is accessible to everybody.

Our workflow is structured in such way that when you create an element in List B, it gets copied in List A and deleted from List B. The goal is to enable anyone to create entries in List A, but with limited access to certain fields.
If a user of group G creates an element in List B, the workflow works perfect (since the user has "contribute" access on List A, being member of group G).
But if any user NOT member of group G creates an element in List B, the workflow doesn't work, because it uses the same credentials as the user logged in who doesn't have "contribute" access on List A.

My question is :
Can we and how easy is it to impersonnate another users account in Sharepoint in a workflow process? The goal would be to impersonnate a generic user account that would have "contribute" access on List A and use that account just to make the copy on List A.

My second question is :
If it's not possible to impersonnate (or if it's not a good practice for security matters), how could I manage such a situation?

Thanks,
Claude

Over one month ago I setup a new Server 2012 / Exchange 2016 with the intention of migrating the existing Exchange 2010. No disruption of services was the highest priority so installation progressed at a glacier rate. We finally reached a point where both mail server were operational, the 2016 server could send out email, the 2010 server continued to run the show. Last weekend I changed firewall settings so that the new 2016 server handled both inbound and outbound email and proxied down to the 2010. Worked great for about 5 days; no one was even aware of the change. As of last night...

1) 213 outbound emails stuck in queue

2) OWA gets a "page not found error"

3) Exchange Admin Center shows the login screen but displays a blank page and hangs. Even more interesting is the ECP folder is empty.  There is only a config file.

Temporary fix - changed the firewall settings back to the old server. It would be nice to get the 2016 to deliver the emails stuck in the queue.

Short of completely reinstalling Exchange 2016, is there a way of fixing this? And more importantly, how did it happen?

Have dell poweredge t110 tower and want to add gpu for mining. Do u know which one is the best that will fit?

Thanks
