  I had previously discussed this topic here but it would not work for ULS tags with 5 digits (SharePoint 2013 and beyond). This post will guide you to create the rule for this particular ULS log entry: First, download DebugDiag 2 Update 2 or greater. As of the time of this writing it can

  If you have tried my tool to troubleshoot c2WTS with SharePoint, c2WTSTester, verified that the service is running as expected, the account used by SharePoint is valid in c2WTS but you still failed to receive a valid token for some error that does not make much sense, fear no more. It may be that

SharePoint has a very comprehensive and configurable diagnostic logging infrastructure known as ULS logs. Most of the ULS log entries include a unique tag called eventId .

After adding page links to the Top Link Bar of team sites tab, the Home tab (the first one) was not getting highlighted anymore when selected. All other page links added to the Top Link Bar were being highlighted as expected. Some people came out with the idea of disabling the Wiki Feature to make

There is no better way of learning something than to observe someone doing it step-by-step. I gathered information from different sources during the beta phase of SharePoint.

It works this way: c2WTS extracts UPN claims from non-Windows

Don’t you hate when you have access denied and you don’t know where it is coming from? It is even worse when it is related to anonymous access where a single detail can prevent a page from being rendered (IIS authentication, broken inheritance, you name it). The application will show the detailed cascade rights for

If you have ever tried to programmatically create a Web Application using Kerberos as authentication provider you noticed that the Authentication Provider resets to NTLM. The cmdlet to create a new Web Application is New-SPWebApplication (or New-SPWebApplicationExtension to extending an exixting one) which comes with the toggle parameter to disable Kerberos authentication (DisableKerberosAuthentication). It happens,

I had put together an application to perform Load Test in both Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) 3.0. The application as it is now is more “Load” than “Test”. The next step will be to save the results in a database and enable live queries. I am planning to

There are some occasions in the course of work as Support Escalation Engineer in Microsoft that we rely heavily in analyzing SharePoint metadata. Installing software in a production environment is a no-no for most companies (or at least it requires a change control request). I had put together a few features in an Explorer like
