Cannot browse to All People in SharePoint 2010

We used to normally visit All people in Sharepoint 2007 to Delete the user from the Site collection :)

Where is it in Sharepoint 2010 ?

The “All People” view is the best way to list out all the users having access to the SharePoint site.

When a admin navigates to the “People and Groups” section in a SharePoint 2007 site,

he sees a link called “All People” in the left hand navigation.

Clicking on this link brings up a view of all the users across all the groups in the site.

But this “All People” view is hidden in SharePoint 2010 and the link is also missing in the “People and Groups” section.

However one can still navigate to this view in a SharePoint 2010 by following the below mentioned steps :

 

• Navigate to the “People and Groups” section.
• Click on any of the groups.
• Locate the “MembershipGroupId” query string parameter from Url in the address bar
• Replace the value in the “MembershipGroupId” query string parameter with 0.
• Reload the page and it will populate the “All People” View.

Site menus are hidden behind content editor web part

Issue: Site menus are hidden behind content editor web part.

Background: User added .swf file into content editor web part using iframe.

Code: Client had used the following code in the CEWP.

 

Troubleshooting: We tried with different parameters like, visibility, position, z-index but none of them working but no success.

 

Resolution: You have to add the wmode attribute.

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.

Applies to: SharePoint Foundation / Server 2010.

 

Task Microsoft Exchange Server reported error (0x8004010F)

Error Message: Task 'Microsoft Exchange Server' reported error (0x8004010F): 'The operation failed. An object could not be found.'

Error Code: 0X8004010F

Problem Description: While doing a Send / Receive on an Outlook user was getting the error message that operation failed and unable to resolve recipients.

After researching error message I got to know about the issue, that Offline Address Book was not found while using outlook.

When I checked host location of the user mailbox, found that the user is on Exchange 2010 server.

Found that the OAB was not configured for that DATABASE.

Offline Address Book assignment is very important in order to work send / receive and resolve the objects offline.

Resolution:

Exchange Server 2010

-In Exchange Management Console, expand Organization Configuration, and then clickMailbox.

-In the Database Management window, right-click Properties on the mailbox store.

-Click the Client Settings tab, click Browse, and then click the appropriate offline address book.

-Click on Apply and OK.

Exchange Server 2007

-In Exchange Management Console, expand Server Configuration, and then clickMailbox.

-In the Database Management window, right-click Properties on the mailbox store.

-Click the Client Settings tab, click Browse, and then click the appropriate offline address book.

-Click OK two times.

Thank you.

Error occurred in deployment step 'Install app for SharePoint'

Everybody is busy enjoying the weekend but our team faced one critical issue during this weekend and working together we were able to resolve this issue after debugging it for many hours…

Farm configuration:

·         Windows Server 2012

·         Office 2013

·         SharePoint 2013

·         Visual Studio 2013

·         SQL Server 2008 R2

Error Message:

“Error occurred in deployment step 'Install app for SharePoint': Failed to install app for SharePoint. Please see the output window for details."

Troubleshooting done:

1)   Developer site is selected or not

2)   service applications (App Management Service and Subscription Service) are configured and running

3)   App domain setup is performed (records in host file or DNS)

4)   Loopback Check is disabled

5)   IE is configured for your app domain

Best Practice:

I would recommend you to check the SP logs first and it will give you the clear picture as where exactly it’s failing.

I really wanted to appreciate this article which helps me a lot and gives me clear directions:
