The local farm is not accessible

Problem Description:

I have my SharePoint development environment and recently install some security updates of Windows Server 2008 R2. When I try to run SharePoint Shell Command i get the error: "The local farm is not accessible.

Error Message:

The local farm is not accessible

I was shocked to see this message and started checking the farm – web applications, site collections, SQL server is accessible or not …so many things...But let me tell you this is a generic error message and nothing to do with the farm availability.

Reason:  This is happening because you tried running the PowerShell with a user account that is not an administrator in SharePoint.

Resolution:  use your farm account by which you have installed SharePoint.

How to change and use the farm account?

-start

-All Programs

-Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products

-Shift+Right click on SharePoint 2010 Management PowerShell

-You will get the option named as “Run as different user”

-enter the credentials and you are good to go :)

List tools tab missing SharePoint 2010

Today I have seen a very strange issue, where one my client said that he has the ‘List Tools’ tab missing from his List.

Issue: Unable to see list tools tab from the SharePoint Document Library and List.

Troubleshooting:

Checked the list on other site and it has the List tools tab.

Edited the page list tools tab is available. Stop editing it again disappears.
Checked various option in the List view webpart.
Enabled the summary tool bar, full tool bar. It still does’t appears on the list menu.

Resolution:  This is the default behavior of the SharePoint 2010, that if we have more than two web parts (especially Content Editor) added on the List view page then 'List Tools' menu will not appear.

As a fix you either need to remove the Content editor webpart form the List view page.

As a work around I have selected the Full Toolbar option by editing the List Webpart. If you click on any section such as New, Action, Settings, you will get 'List Tools' option to work with.

Site Actions - Site Settings - Tree View

Uncheck the box for “Enable Quick Launch”

But he says he wants to hide it and completely and would like to shift the page to the left to utilize the space of quick launch?

Add following script to the content editor webpart in HTML editor on the page:
