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 Virtual Summit 2017 - What's new for SharePoint and OneDrive?

Recently, during the SharePoint Virtual Summit, Microsoft unveiled yet another roadmap for SharePoint and OneDrive. If you haven't had a chance to join you can view the recording here .

Most of the features announced are geared towards SharePoint Online and OneDrive in Office 365, which emphasizes Microsoft's strong push to the cloud. There are more than 250,000 organizations and over 85% of Fortune 500 companies that have SharePoint as a part of their Office 365 tenant. Just in the last year, SharePoint usage has grown 90%, content stored has grown 300% and more than 10 million new SharePoint sites have been created. More than 60% of SharePoint licensed seats are now online, reflecting the value customers see with SharePoint in Office 365. So, let's take a look at what Microsoft has coming down the pipe.

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...
