SharePoint Server Search - Error Starting

Problem I recently ran into this snag at a client site while setting up the Search Service Application. I was able to create the service application without a problem however when I attempted to start the SharePoint Server Search service (Manage services on server page) I kept getting Error Starting . After taking a peak at the logs I found the following: An attempt to start/stop instance of service SharePoint Server Search on server did not succeed. Re-run the action via UI or command line on the specified server. Additional information is below. Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED)) I double/triple checked the permissions and made sure that my Farm Administrator account was a member of WSS_WPG and WSS_ADMIN_WPG groups, and that those groups had full control permissions to the C:\Windows\Tasks and C:\Windows\Temp folders. Resolution I nearly lost hope when I remembered my old lost friend called STSADM.EXE. Just like in the old da...

SharePoint 2013 - Start a Site Workflow using a Custom Action

In recent travels I've encountered what seems to be either a product limitation or a bug. After digging around some it appeared that I wasn't the only one facing this challenge, and unfortunately there wasn't a concrete enough solution or workaround out there. Hence the blog post hoping to save some of you the unnecessary hair-pulling which I had to endure. My task was fairly simple; "Start a Site Workflow using a Custom Action button". The first part, creating a Custom Action, is trivial. This can be done in Visual Studio or SharePoint Designer. For the sake of simplicity I used SharePoint Designer. Create a Custom Action button Start up SharePoint Designer 2013 and connect to the desired site. From the left navigation select Lists and Libraries. I'm using a simple list called "List One". Boring name, but easy to follow. :) Click on the list name to manage list settings. From the ribbon select Custom Action button then click View Ribb...

SharePoint 2013 - Simple Glossary using "HTML Form Web Part"

Introduction At some point you probably thought about incorporating glossary functionality as a part of a larger solution, or perhaps you were simply looking for providing a more intuitive way of filtering hundreds of items within a List or Library. Now there are countless web parts out there that you can either purchase or download from the SharePoint Store free of charge, and they all come with their own set of bells and whistles. However, if you are looking at building one yourself, well look no further. To accomplish this we will need three major ingredients: SharePoint Page (either Wiki or Publishing will work) SharePoint List/Library with some content (Files/Items) HTML Form Web Part Let's Implement In this post I’m using a simple Wiki page, but you can also use a Publishing page as well. We just need a canvas to display our glossary. I presume you already have a list or library that contains some content which is applicable to this concept....
