SPO Sub-Sites are disabled. How to create a Sub-Site.

In Office 365 SharePoint admin can disable SubSites creation:

Well, agree, SubSites are not really disabled, but the button to create subsites is hidden: “This controls whether the Subsite command appears on the New menu on the Site contents page”.

Anyway, the result is: you are not able to create a SubSite (web) in SharePoint Online:

Actually there are at least 3 options to create a SubSite:

Option 1. Create a SubSite in Classic mode.

Step 1: Select “Site Contents” page
Step 2: Click “Return to classic SharePoint”
Step 3: Create SubSite

Option 2. Create a SubSite from “Sites and Workspaces” page

Step 1: Go to “Site Settings”
Step 2: Select “Sites and Workspaces” page (site/_layouts/15/mngsubwebs.aspx)
Step 3: Create a SubSite

Option 3: use PowerShell PnP

Step 1: Install PowerShell PnP
Step 2: Connect to your site with PnP
Step 3: create a SubSite

Install-Module SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline
Connect-PnPOnline -Url <your site Url> -UseWebLogin
New-PnPWeb -Url "<new Web Url>" -Title "MySubSite" -Template "STS#3"

SPMT – SharePoint Migration Tool

Microsoft SharePoint Migration Tool (SPMT) is installed under user profile, i.e. local administrator permissions are not required.

That means regular corporate user – site owner – can do self-migration from SharePoint on-prem to Office 365 SharePoint Online.

How to find a public team in Microsoft Teams

In Microsoft Office 365, under MS Teams, there are 3 team types:

Private team
Public team
Org-wide team

Private team: you can only join the team if you are invited or know the team code.
You cannot see team name or description or content until you are team member (details).

Public team: you can join the public team if you wish. You can see public team name and description, but from MS Teams (desktop or web application) you cannot see public team content until you are team member.

Org-wide team: you join the team automatically (details)

From Teams – you can click on “Join or create a team” and you should be able to see some public teams (but not all):

See how Microsoft describes it – Find and Join a team

But what if you are looking for a specific public team not in the list…

Scenario 1

You know exact team name or at least some first letters.
Solution: You are lucky. Just start typing team name in search bar at top right and hit “enter”- you will see shortened list of public teams matching your search criteria:

NB: do not use wildcards, it will not work:

NB: do not use top search bar, it will not work:

Scenario 2

You know (or guess) something about the team, like

part of the team name
part of the team description
some keywords from team content files

Unfortunately, in this case both great Microsoft technologies – Search and Team – fail. You will not be able to find a public team:

Solution: use SharePoint search
SharePoint site is created once a team is created.

For public teams – SharePoint site has “Everyone except external users” by default in “Members” group:

which means literally “Everyone except external users” has access to the site with “Edit” permissions.

SharePoint search is security-trimmed, i.e. you will see the site content in search results only if you do have access to the site. So just go to the SharePoint or SharePoint search center and search for what you know or guess about the team:

You can use all the power of SharePoint search (wildcards, refiners, keyword query language KQL etc)

Once you found something – you can go to the SharePoint site:

Now from the site – look at the site name and hover the mouse over the site name – you’ll see pop-up window.
Now you know exact team name – and you can search for the team under Teams,
or, if you are so lucky you see “Join” button – just join the team.click site title or hove over the site title:

One moment – you cannot see team’s chat messages in SharePoint, as chats are kept in Azure. But you can search for chat content after you joint the team.

Somehow both – SharePoint Search and Teams Search are not working against site/team description. Hopefully this bug will be addressed.

You can also search for site Url in teams.
When you create a team – Office 365 generates a short team name (removes spaces and adds numbers if the team name is not unique; e.g. if the team name “Test” you might have “test381” as a short name, but if the team name is “This Is My Unique Team” – short name might be “ThisIsMyUniqueTeam”).
After you can change team name and/or SharePoint site name.
Team search under MS teams work for both names – short name initially assigned (kept as site specific Url) and new team name. But only starting with the beginning of the string.

How to create a SharePoint Site in Office 365 if site creation is disabled

In Office 365 under SharePoint Admin Center -> Settings -> Site Creation there is “Let users create sites from the SharePoint start page and OneDrive”:

Under classic settings page -> Site Creation it is called “Show the Create site command” with explanation “Display the Create site command on the SharePoint home page and in the sites list in OneDrive so users can create new sites”:

By default site creation is enabled and anybody can create a new site collection from SharePoint start page :

with two options: “Team site connected to an Office 365 group” and “Communication site”

SharePoint administrator might disable Sites creation, i.e. remove “Let users create sites from the SharePoint start page and OneDrive” or select “Hide the Create site command”. In this case user will not see “+ Create site” in SharePoint landing page:

The fun part is users are still able to create a new site collection from OneDrive, using “Create shared library”:

Direct link: https://changeThisToYourTenantName.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/CreateGroup.aspx is another option:

and worth to mention that from under Teams anybody can create a Team and a corresponding SharePoint site:

The only way to limit self-site creation is to create a security group for users who need to create Microsoft 365 groups and via PowerShell Set-AzureADDirectorySetting command set “GroupCreationAllowedGroupId”.
Microsoft: “Manage who can create Groups“

OneDrive vs OneDrive vs Personal Site

Microsoft sells OneDrive as a personal cloud storage service… But There are actually two separate products behind the service, and each product provides more than “personal cloud storage service”…

What is OneDrive? What is the difference between OneDrive and Personal SharePoint site? Let’s see…

When you login to Office.com, you can click on OneDrive icon:

and you will found yourself at OneDrive site, so

one OneDrive is a SharePoint Personal site:

The other OneDrive is a desktop application

i.e. program that runs in the background and synchronizes files from your personal SharePoint site (“first OneDrive”) to your local machine and back:

Below is OneDrive desktop application in Windows File Explorer. Please notice how “test 01.txt” file and “test 02” folder are synchronized to first OneDrive.

Confused? No? Wanna more?

Here are some more confusing details…

Using OneDrive desktop application you can synchronize your regular SharePoint site library with your desktop computer.

Here is a regular SharePoint site (Test23) with a LibUnderSharePoint library. You can click on the “Sync” button:

and see the magic! Now you have another folder on your local Windows machine:

– but this time OneDrive synchronizes it to regular SharePoint site.

There is also a “Personal OneDrive” – the same as regular OneDrive but free…
(again, do not be confused: initially there was just OneDrive – free personal version and OneDrive for Business – version you could have with Office 365 subscription; now they are Onedrive and Personal OneDrive 🙂 )

OneDrive is a Microsoft thing.
Google has “Drive File Stream” (Google drive)
Dropbox – Dropbox sync

Search schema: Search for a crawled property name wildcard

If you are managing SharePoint search, specifically if you are customizing SharePoint search schema, especially in SharePoint Online (Office 365) – you know how slow it works and how tiresome it is to “Search for a crawled property name”.

Recently I found out that wildcard works. No, even two wildcards work!

In this example I need crawled property started from ows and contains doc and type:

Remove orphan sites from SharePoint content database

Problem: When you patch SharePoint or perform database-attach migration or just do Test-SPContentDatabase, sometimes you can see errors with category “SiteOrphan”. Although it says “UpgradeBlocking : False”, Ignoring this error may cause severe issues, even data loss.

step-by-step SharePoint Setup with AutoSPInstaller

(the article is under construction)

How to setup SharePoint 2013/2016/2019 using AutoSPinstaller

the quick and easy way which can be used in your lab environment, as well in test and even in production and later be scaled-out, as performance and/or availability requirements grows up

Assume 3-tier topology – Front-End Server, Batch-Processing Server and SQL Server. Accounts according to least privilege principle.

Treat all server names, account names and domain names in this article are “for example”, i.e. you should use your own names.

What you must already have/get:

AD (Active Directory)

Prepare (request) hardware (virtual machines):

SP16SQL1 for SQL Server 2016
SP16WFE1 for SharePoint 2016 Front-End Roles
SP16BPS1 for SharePoint 2016 Batch-Processing Roles

SP16SQL1 for SQL Server 2016

refer to Microsoft SharePoint 2016 requirements for hardware specifications, but as minimum:

any 64-bit 4-core server CPU
RAM 4 GB for lab/test and 16+ GB for prod
HDD min 80 GB for system drive, 80 GB drive for application/data

Install MS Windows Server 2016 with GUI.
Configure time zone and time, static IP, name, language, region.
Add to domain.
Add App Server role, install updates, check event logs, resolve errors if any.

SP16WFE1 and SP16BPS1 for MS SharePoint

refer to Microsoft SharePoint 2016 requirements for hardware specifications, but as minimum:

any 64-bit 4-core server CPU
RAM 8-12GB for lab/test and 16-24GB for prod
HDD min 80GB for system drive, 80GB drive for application

Install MS Windows Server 2016 with GUI.
Configure time zone and time, static IP, name, language, region.
Add to domain.
Add App Server role, install updates, check event logs, resolve errors if any.

Create (request) AD accounts:

– SQL-Adm
– SQL-Svc

– SP-Adm
– SP-Farm
– SP-Svc
– SP-PortalAppPool
– SP-ProfilesAppPool
– SP-CacheSuperUser
– SP-CacheSuperReader
– SP-ProfileSync
– SP-SearchService
– SP-SearchContent
– SP-ExcelUser
– SP-VisioUser
– SP-PerfPointUser

and

– SP_farm_administrators security group

add SP-Adm (and personal admin accounts) to SP_farm_administrators group

provide “Replicate Directory Changes” AD permissions to SP-ProfileSync account (refer to this how to article)

SQL Server:
add SQL-Adm to local administrators

SP Server:
add SP_farm_administrators group to local administrators group

Setup

on SQL Server:
login as SQL-Adm to install MS SQL Server 2016

start MS SQL Server 2016 setup
features: Database Engine Services, (optional) Reporting Services – SharePoint
Directories: change to non-system drive
(optional) name instance
Service Accounts: use SQL-Svc as service account for SQL Server Agent and SQL Server Database Engine
Server Configuration: AddCurrentUser
Data directories: ensure non-system drive is used
Windows Firewall and Advanced Security->Inbound Rules->New Rule->
- Port TCP 1433-1434 Allow
- Port UDP 1434 Allow

since “SQL Server Management Studio” is not a part of SQL Server, but distributed separately, you need to

download “SQL Server Management Studio” (any version – 2016+) and
install it on any machine – SQL, SharePoint or your personal workstation, then
start SQL Server Management Studio->Security->Logins
- add SP_farm_administrators with roles securityadmin, dbcreator, public
SQL SQL Management Studio->Right Click on instance name->select properties->Advanced->Change Max Degree of Parallelism to 1

on SharePoint Server:
login as SP-Adm

(optional) setup MS SQL Server 2016 feature Reporting Services – add-in for SharePoint
check connection to SQL server
- create empty file with extention .udl (create text file and rename it to sql.udl)
- double-click it
- enter server name, choose Windows NT integrated security, select database, Test Connection
- if failed – check on SQL Server if protocol TCP/IP activated for remote access (SQL Server Configuration Manager -> SQL Server Network Configuration -> Protocols… -> TCP/IP -> Enable)
  check firewall
download AutoSPInstaller, unzip it, explore content

Generally, the steps are

install/configure prerequisites (Windows roles, some additional software)
install SharePoint binaries (SharePoint itself, language packs, updates)
create/configure farm (create configuration database, service applications, web applications etc.)

AutoSPInstaller is able to handle all steps, but personally I prefer to install prerequisites and SharePoint manually, and use AutoSPInstaller only to create/configure farm. If so, we will need only “Automation” folder from autospinstaller.zip

Prerequisites

I’d recommend copy all content from source SharePoint image to a folder.

run prerequisiteinstaller.exe. It will take care of

Web Server (IIS) Role
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client
Microsoft ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server
Microsoft Sync Framework Runtime v1.0 SP1 (x64)
Windows Server AppFabric
Microsoft Identity Extensions
Microsoft Information Protection and Control Client 2.1
Microsoft WCF Data Services 5.6
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6
Cumulative Update Package 7 for Microsoft AppFabric 1.1 for Windows Server (KB3092423)
Visual C++ Redistributable Package for Visual Studio 2012
Visual C++ Redistributable Package for Visual Studio 2015

(optionally, you can run powershell:

Add-WindowsFeature Web-Server,Web-WebServer,Web-Common-Http,Web-Static-Content,Web-Default-Doc,Web-Dir-Browsing,Web-Http-Errors,Web-App-Dev,Web-Asp-Net,Web-Net-Ext,Web-ISAPI-Ext,Web-ISAPI-Filter,Web-Health,Web-Http-Logging,Web-Log-Libraries,Web-Request-Monitor,Web-Http-Tracing,Web-Security,Web-Basic-Auth,Web-Windows-Auth,Web-Filtering,Web-Digest-Auth,Web-Performance,Web-Stat-Compression,Web-Dyn-Compression,Web-Mgmt-Tools,Web-Mgmt-Console,Web-Mgmt-Compat,Web-Metabase, WAS,WAS-Process-Model,WAS-NET-Environment,WAS-Config-APIs,Web-Lgcy-Scripting,Windows-Identity-Foundation,Xps-Viewer

an then prerequisiteinstaller.exe )

It might require you to restart the server, then prerequisiteinstaller.exe will continue until you see “Installation Complete” message. Finally you must see “Installation Complete. All required prerequisites have been installed or enabled” message.

Now run setup.exe

Be ready to provide your SharePoint product key. You can use SharePoint trial key from here for test or evaluation environment.

From Server Type choose “Complete” (for SharePoint 2013 only – option chosen by default).

NB! Choose File Location on “File Location” tab. I’d recommend install SharePoint on separate drive (e.g. E:).

Note that it says: “If you intend to use this computer as a search server, the search index files will be stored on the local drive. These files can be very large , so ensure that there is sufficient free space on the selected drive. To change where Microsoft SharePoint Server 2016 will store it’s index files…”

You might say that it is possible to configure index files location during provisioning Search Index component.
Yes, I absolutely agree. But! There is also Analytics Processing Component, and during it’s work, it generates temporary files under “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\15.0\Data\Office Server\Analytics_GUID\AE\AnalyticsProcessingComponent1” which might be very big in size, and that location could not be “legally” changed. So if you miss this point, you might be required to reinstall SharePoint binaries later. See also this.

After binaries installed, you should see “Run Configuration Wizard” “To complete configuration of your server, you must run the SharePoint Product Configuration Wizard”…
Remove the checkmark “Run the SharePoint Product Configuration Wizard now” (untick this).
I.e. Do not run Product Configuration Wizard for now. Farm will be configured later via PowerShell AutoSPInstaller script.

If you need language packs – it’s time to install language packs.

Now you are good to install Cumulative Update. Latest for test/lab environment, latest tested for production. Check updates against regressions (e.g. with Todd Klindt).

Do not run Product Configuration Wizard.

Now let us have a closer look into AutoSPInstaller Automation folder.

у AutoSPInstallerInput.xml убираем атрибут “read only” файловой системы
AutoSPInstallerInput.xml правим так:
        <PIDKey></PIDKey> вбиваем ключ (можно триальный отсюда, потом вручную сменим на постоянный)
        <SKU>Enterprise</SKU> вбиваем Standard или Enterprise (ключ тогда должен быть соответствующий)
        <AutoAdminLogon Enable=”false” Password=”” /> вбиваем true и пароль, если хотим чтобы сервер каждый раз сам логинился (предполагается несколько перезагрузок)
        <Passphrase></Passphrase> вбиваем пароль/ключ (используется для присоединения дополнительных серверов к ферме)
        <Account… везде, где встречаем DOMAIN\ или @domain, исправляем на наши реальные данные так:
            <Username>DOMAIN\SP_Farm</Username> , заменяем DOMAIN на настоящее имя нашего домена, оставляем название и имя учётки (SP_Farm) как есть
            <Password></Password> вбиваем пароль
            <Email>spfarm@domain.com</Email> вбиваем e-mail
        <CentralAdmin Provision=”true”>… ставим порт какой удобно, например <Port>2013</Port>
        <Database> первое упоминание делаем так
           <DBServer></DBServer> вбиваем алиас для SQL Server (например <DBServer>SP3SQLAL</DBServer>)
                     DBInstance=”SERVER\INSTANCE” правим на только имя сервера (например, DBInstance=”SP3SQL1″)
            <DBPrefix>AutoSPInstaller</DBPrefix> меняем на удобный нам, например <DBPrefix>SP</DBPrefix>
        остальные упоминания <Database> не трогаем (оставляем пустыми как есть)
        <ManagedAccounts> домен и пароль меняем на свой, всё остальное – названия акаунтов и сами акаунты – оставляем как есть
        <Logging><LogDiskSpaceUsageGB></LogDiskSpaceUsageGB> поставить приемлемое для своего дискового пр-ва значение, например 5
        <AppManagementService если вы в состоянии это сделать, то оставляем Provision=”true”
                и следуем инструкциям, например Setting up your App domain for SharePoint 2013
                иначе – ставим Provision=”false”

Собственно установка
- Запускаем от имени администратора (Run As Administrator) батничек AutoSPInstallerLaunch.bat
- Но не идём курить, как некоторые советуют, а пьем чай и наблюдаем, т.к. иногда срабатывает UAC и надо тыкнуть “OK”
- Если скрипт почему-то “слетает”, то смотрим “почему”, поправляем и запускаем снова, ничего не меняя в других настройках.

Последействия:
<AutoAdminLogon Enable=”false” Password=”” /> стираем пароль
<Passphrase></Passphrase> стираем

поправить параметры логирования под себя

если есть exchange, можно настроить OutgoingEmail и сам Exchange

Notes:

if you plan federated SharePoint environment, i.e. having Publishing (Service) Farm and Consuming (Content) Farm – plan for SQL aliases carefully.

Правильная установка SharePoint 2013, SQL Server 2012. Учётные записи

Описание правильной установки SharePoint 2013 в варианте, минимально приемлемом для “боевого” применения, соответствующая рекомендациям Microsoft для небольшого количества пользователей (до 10тыс.) и без требований по отказоустойчивости. А именно – двухсерверная двухуровневая топология – один сервер баз данных и один сервер SharePoint, сочетающий все роли. Учётные записи – в соответствии с принципом least privilege.

Подготовка к установке

Считаем, что есть AD. Тогда делаем:

– (виртуальный) сервер для MS SQL
Рекомендуется выделять отдельный (в зависимости от предполагаемой нагрузки и доступных ресурсов физический или виртуальный) сервер для работы SQL сервера для SharePoint, или как минимум отдельный инстанс. Рекомендуется также давать алиас этому инстансу.

проц любой серверный 64-bit (рекомендуется дать 4-8 ядер),
память 2-4GB (рекомендуется 8-16GB),
HDD min 60GB (рекомендуется 80GB)

ставим MS Windows Server 2012 std en with GUI, устанавливаем время и часовой пояс, даём статический IP, называем как надо, локализуем под себя (language, region) включаем в домен, добавляем роль App Server, ставим обновления, проверяем есть ли ошибки в журнале, устраняем их.

– (виртуальный) сервер для MS SharePoint (далее SP)

проц любой серверный 64-bit (рекомендуется дать как минимум 4 ядра),
память минимум 8-12GB (рекомендуется 16-24GB),
HDD min 40GB (рекомендуется 80GB)

ставим MS Windows Server 2012 std en with GUI, устанавливаем время и часовой пояс, даём статический IP, называем как надо, локализуем под себя (language, region) включаем в домен, добавляем роли App Server и IIS, ставим обновления, проверяем есть ли ошибки в журнале, устраняем их.

заводим в AD следующие учётные записи:
– SP_Admin
– SP_Farm
– SP_Services
– SP_PortalAppPool
– SP_ProfilesAppPool
– SP_CacheSuperUser
– SP_CacheSuperReader
– SP_ProfileSync
– SP_SearchService
– SP_SearchContent
– SQLAdmin
– SQLSvc
(если ставим SharePoint Enterprise, то ещё
– SP_ExcelUser
– SP_VisioUser
– SP_PerfPointUser
)

на сервере SQL Server:
даём доменной учётке SQLAdmin права локального админа
разрешаем Remote Desktop

на сервере SP Server:
даём доменной учётке SP_Admin права локального админа
разрешаем Remote Desktop

Установка

на сервере SQL Server:
логинимся под учёткой SQLAdmin

устанавливаем MS SQL Server 2012 SP1
(фичи: Database Engine Services, Reporting Services – SharePoint, Management Tools Basic+Complete;
Service Accounts: вбиваем учётку SQLSvc;
Collation должен быть Cyrillic_General_CI_AS;
Server Configuration->AddCurrentUser)
SQL Management Studio->Security->Logins добавляем sp_admin, даём роли securityadmin, dbcreator, public.
SQL Management Studio->Right Click on instance name->select properties->Advanced->Change Max Degree of Parallelism to 1
Windows Firewall and Advanced Security->Inbound Rules->New Rule->Port TCP 1433 Allow .

на сервере SP Server:
логинимся под учёткой SP_Admin

устанавливаем MS SQL Server 2012 SP1
(фичи: Reporting Services – add-in for SharePoint, Management Tools Basic+Complete)
запускаем SQL Management Tools, логинимся к нашему SQL Server (для проверки что есть доступ)
Если нет – то первым делом на SQL Server проверяем, активированы ли протоколы TCP/IP для удалённого доступа (SQL Server Configuration Manager -> SQL Server Network Configuration -> Protocols… -> TCP/IP -> Enable)
Качаем и ставим Notepad++.
Качаем AutoSPInstaller. Распаковываем, изучаем состав.
Распаковываем AutoSPInstaller на локальном диске, (например, в d:\distrs),
чтобы путь, например, к “AutoSPInstallerInput.xml” был такой “D:\distrs\SP\AutoSPInstaller\AutoSPInstallerInput.xml”

Состав должен быть такой:
– sp\2010 – этот каталог нам не нужен, можно удалить
– sp\2013\SharePoint\ – переписываем сюда «родной» дистрибутив (содержимое DVD или ISO диска SharePoint 2013 en)
– sp\2013\PDF\ – скачиваем файлики по инструкции и распаковываем zip в PDFFilter64installer.msi
– sp\2013\ForeFront\ – ничего не делаем
– sp\AutoSPInstaller\ – тут самое интересно, подробнее дальше

Установка пререквизитов
Переходим в sp\2013\SharePoint\, Запускаем prerequisiteinstaller.exe
Может потребоваться перезагрузка, но установка пререквизитов должна (пере-)(до-)запускаться автоматом, пока не увидим окошко
“Installation Complete. All required prerequisites have been installed or enabled”
Установка бинарников
(вообще-то AutoSPInstaller может сам устанавливать бинарники с дистрибутива, а также языковые пакеты, сервис паки и кумулятивные апдейты.
но настройка всего этого довольно сложная, поэтому проще бинарники установить вручную, и скрип использовать для правильного конфигурирования фермы.)
- Установка SharePoint с дистрибутива – Переходим в sp\2013\SharePoint\, Запускаем setup.exe
  После установки бинарников вам предложат сконфигурировать ферму (запускается psconfig) – на данном этапе этого делать не надо – выбираем “Отмена”
- Установка языковых пакетов (language pack) – если надо
  После установки бинарников вам предложат сконфигурировать ферму (запускается psconfig) – на данном этапе этого делать не надо – выбираем “Отмена”
- Установка CU – скачиваем последний кумулятивный апдейт и устанавливаем
  После установки бинарников вам предложат сконфигурировать ферму (запускается psconfig) – на данном этапе этого делать не надо – выбираем “Отмена”
- Установка апдейтов языковых пакетов
  После установки бинарников вам предложат сконфигурировать ферму (запускается psconfig) – на данном этапе этого делать не надо – выбираем “Отмена”
Теперь работаем с файлами в каталоге sp\AutoSPInstaller\

Собственно установка
- Запускаем от имени администратора (Run As Administrator) батничек AutoSPInstallerLaunch.bat
- Но не идём курить, как некоторые советуют, а пьем чай и наблюдаем, т.к. иногда срабатывает UAC и надо тыкнуть “OK”
- Если скрипт почему-то “слетает”, то смотрим “почему”, поправляем и запускаем снова, ничего не меняя в других настройках.
