OneNote has encountered a problem and cannot complete the action

Using shared notebooks with SharePoint sites. When Office OneNote 2007 notebooks are stored in a shared location, such as a SharePoint library, multiple users can simultaneously access shared notes and contribute to them on an ongoing basis. A library is a central location on a SharePoint site where people store and manage their files.

When you share a notebook on a SharePoint site, you can use the features of a library to manage and share your notebooks. You can manage who has permission to view the notebook or contribute notes. You can store additional information about the notebook or its pages, such as the department name or project number. You can also track versions of the notebook, so that people can view or restore an earlier version if needed and receive updates when the content changes by using alerts or RSS Feeds.

The 2007 Microsoft Office Suites provide the best level of rich, contextual integration with Windows SharePoint Services and Office SharePoint Server, allowing users to interact with SharePoint sites without leaving their Office programs and to have two-way synchronization with collaborative information and documents as well as business data stored on SharePoint sites.

Problem Description:

§  Synchronization problem between SharePoint and Office OneNote application.

§  Updates are not being reflected on the users end/not able to see the current data i.e. correct versioning information

§  After having proper permissions at the site level but users are still getting read only notebooks

SharePoint Foundation 2013 known issues

Recommended configuration for crawling large hosts

When defining content sources to crawl in SharePoint Search, the maximum number of threads that can simultaneously make requests to a host is set to 12 by default OOB. This value affects the rate of content discovery from the host. For all small and medium sized hosts (<10M), this thread count is sufficient. But if the target host is >10M, we recommend you increase the thread count.

Workaround For large hosts (>10M items), we recommend you set the number of threads to 32 or more. This is over-and-above the recommendation to have dedicated crawl targets that helps manage load on front ends efficiently without impacting performance observed by users of that host.

Some "15" or "2010" strings aren’t updated to "2013" or "2013 Preview" in the User Guide, file names, and some user interface strings of SharePoint 2013 Preview Management Pack.

Cannot restore from recycle bin

The Recycle Bin provides a safety net when deleting documents, list items, lists, folders and files. When you or site visitors delete any of these items from a Web site, the items are placed in the Recycle Bin.

Problem Description:

Unable to restore files/folders from Site Collection Recycle Bin

When we try to restore we get the following exception:

Error Message: Unable to restore ‘file name’

Troubleshooting Steps:

1)   Checked on the path from where the Folder was deleted and confirmed that it was not modified or deleted i.e. all the top-level folders/sites where intact to get to the folder.

2)   Checked for the available quota on site by means of storman.aspx

·         Open the site

·         Site actions

·         Site settings

·         Site collection administration

·         Storage allocation (storman.aspx)

All looked fine still unable to restore

Resolution:

·         Checked the Document Library where the folder had to be restored and found a folder named similar to the folder which was to be restored. E.g. RC PHASETEST4 as to RC PHASETEST3

·         So, renamed the similar folder to something else and tried restore, it worked. Once restored reverted the renamed folder to original.

If you have any queries/questions regarding the above mentioned information then please let me know. I would be more than happy to help you as well as resolves your issues, Thank you

The folder may be located in an unavailable location, protected with a password, or the filename contain illegal characters

Different users…different issues but all are using the same product i.e. SharePoint

And we are here to resolves the issues and guide them in right directions.

This time-I am sharing in interesting issues which is based on sharepoint designer. User opened a ticket by mentioning that she is getting the following error message while opening the site in sharepoint designer.

The folder 'http://localhost' isn't accessible. The folder may be located in an unavailable location, protected with a password, or the filename contains a / or \.

What needs to be done if we encounter such issues? If we notice carefully then we will come to know that the error message is self explanatory. Ok-what exactly?

Here are the guidelines by which you can check the parameters one by one and get back to me in case of any questions/queries/information required:

1)   There is no such site or folder?

2)   This location is inaccessible because you are using FORM Authentication? You need to extend the web application on another port to connect to SPD.

3)   URL contains illegal characters?

4)   URL contains file names i.e. default.aspx

5)   Check in Central Administration > Application Management > Authentication Providers. Make sure "Enable Client Integration" is set to "Yes".

Thank you. Please feel free to contact/any queries/any questions, I would be more than happy to help you as well as resolves your issues.
