SPO vs SharePoint on-prem

Microsoft “cloud first” initiative led us to the situation where SharePoint on-prem (SharePoint 2019) is just a branch (sub-project) of SharePoint Online project.

So “Hybrid” SharePoint environment is just a combination of two similar products – one in on-prem and the other one – in the cloud.

TBC…

Office Online Server (OOS)

Office Online Server unattended setup

Scenario:
1) you need to install Office Online Server as a part of process (Powershell script or DSC configuration)
2) you cannot use system (C:) drive. I.e. OOS must be installed on, e.g. D: drive

Solution: use “config.xml”.

Config.xml example:

<Configuration>
    <Logging Type="verbose" Path="d:\tmp" Template="OOServerSetup(*).log"/>
    <Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" />
    <INSTALLLOCATION Value="d:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\"/>
    <Setting Id="USINGUIINSTALLMODE" Value="0"/>
    <Setting Id="SETUPTYPE" Value="CLEAN_INSTALL"/>
    <Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="Never"/>
</Configuration>

Command-line run example:

setup.exe /config d:\config.xml

Powershell script example:

Start-Process "d:\source\OOS\setup.exe" -ArgumentList "/config d:\config.xml" -Wait

Powershell DSC configuration example:

include ” <INSTALLLOCATION Value=”d:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\”/>”
into “d:\source\OOS\Files\SetupSilent\config.xml”, so when your LCM will run

        OfficeOnlineServerInstall OOSInstall
        {
            Ensure = "Present"
            Path = "d:\Distrs\OOS\setup.exe"
        }

by default “d:\source\OOS\Files\SetupSilent\config.xml” will be used.

note:
Install the following software:
Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013
Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015
Microsoft.IdentityModel.Extention.dll
is not required?

I.e. OOS farm will work, but report Unhealthy…

SPO Modern Site Pages Enable Disable

If you are adding a page to your Office 365 site via gerbox->”Add a page”
and a “modern-style” SharePoint page is created,
you still can have “classic” experience, i.e. Wiki pages or WebPart pages.

Just go to your pages library via “Site Content” -> “Site Pages”,
then click “Files” tab and select “New Document” with dropdown option,
and this is where you can choose what kind of page to create.

If you want to stick with classic pages permanently (disable modern site pages) – it’s done via
“Site settings” -> “Manage site Features” -> “Site Pages” Deactivate.
then from site pages library settings click “Change new button order and default content type”
and deselect “Visible” at “Site pages”.

How to remove service accounts from people search in SharePoint or Office 365 (Classic search)

Update: for the same solution in modern search – please refer to “Hide non-personal accounts from modern Microsoft 365 search”

The following solution is for Classic Search only.

What I did is:

User profile services -> Manage User properties: create custom property like “HideFromPeopleSearch”, boolean, do not allow users to edit value, Indexed

Client-side PowerShell script using PnP library:
Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://domain-admin.sharepoint.com
…
$nonPeople = Get-ADUser -filter … # based on what’s in your AD and how you separate people and non-people accounts
foreach($account in $nonPeople) {
Set-PnPUserProfileProperty -Property ‘HideFromPeopleSearch’ -Value ‘True’ -Account $account.UserPrincipalName
}

SearchCenter -> Site Settings -> Search Schema: use any pre-created RefinableString managed property (e.g. RefinableString33), add mapping to crawled property people:HideFromPeopleSearch,

SearchCenter -> Site Settings -> Search Query rules: Local People Results, new Query rule, change ranked results by changing query, {searchTerms} -RefinableString33=True

should work
