SharePoint 2013 - "No lists or libraries with InfoPath content types can be found"

I ran into a snag the other day after publishing an InfoPath form (as a Content Type) to one my SharePoint 2013 sites.  I was able to successfully publish the form to the Form Templates library.  Next step was adding the form to the page using the InfoPath Form Web Part.

Problem

When attempting to configure the Web Part I ran into this:
The message clearly states that "No lists or libraries with InfoPath content types can be found."

Solution

Please check the following depending on how you published the InfoPath form within your environment.

When publishing InfoPath form as a Content Type:
  1. See that the InfoPath form is being published to the same site as where the page with InfoPath Web Part is.
  2. Make sure that the Library (Form Templates) where the form is being published to has Content Types enabled.
  3. Enable Content Types on the Form Library where the form is submitted to (I'm assuming you are using a Forms Library other than the one in Step 2 for this).
  4. The form Content Type added to the Library where forms are submitted.

When publishing InfoPath form without a Content Type:
  1. See that the InfoPath form is being published to the same site as where the page with InfoPath Web Part is.
  2. Make sure that the Library you're publishing to is a Forms Library.

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 . The most exciting part of all of this is that we won't have to wait long to see these new capabilities become a part of our SharePoint ecosystem.  Most of the features announced are geared towards SharePoint Online and OneDrive in Office 365, which emphasizes Microsoft's strong push to the cloud.

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...
