SharePoint Regional and Language settings for all sites.
How as global admin or SharePoint Admin do you change the language and regional settings for all Existing SharePoint Online sites and so that new ones have the required setting. We want en-GB. If this has to be done through a powershell connected script where MFA is enabled I need a script that will run for each site at example contosa.sharepoint.com Thanks
Different columns for folders and subfolders on SharePoint
Hello, Please i need your help on this issue Here isthe summary of what we want to achieve: Weare facing an issue with customizing columns in SharePoint. We created a subfolder named "Project" and "Project Images" within your SharePoint library. In this subfolder,weadded a custom column called "Marina Test"with specific choices. However, this column is also appearing in the parent folder and throughout the entire library, which is not what we intended. So thereforeourgoal is to have the "Marina Test" column visible only in the specific subfolder and not in the parent folder or other parts of the library. Additionally,We want the flexibility to create different custom columns in other subfolders as needed. This customization should be accessible to all users with the current permissions.
Is it possible to restrict what values a user sees in a lookup column in a Document Library
Hi Guys, Need inputs on a particular requirement that I am struggling with in SharePoint Online Document Library. Here is a Document library, where I have a column named "document department". This is a lookup column to a separate list called "Department" The list "Departments" is below. It has various departments (like Finance, Human Resources, Project Delivery etc). It has department name, department shortcode, etc. REQUIREMENT : --------------------- The requirement is that when a document is uploaded to the document library, the users would select the department from the list of departments. At present, if the user belongs to HR department, they can still see and select other departments in this column. This should NOT be the case. The user should only see the department in that dropdown list, which the user belongs to (Example, HR user should only see the HR in the dropdown, and other options should either be grayed out or not visible). How do I achieve this?
Restrict SharePoint Online Folder/Document Sharing
Hello, I am looking for a way to restrict sharing within all of my SharePoint online sites. I want users to be able to share ONLY with people that already have existing access within the organization. I don't want them to be able to share internally with users who do not have existing access to the files. Simultaneously, they still need the capability to share externally to new and existing guest users. Is this possible? How can I do this? I have run a powershell script to remove the option to "Share with anyone in organization" but I can't seem to get rid of the option to share with "people you choose". Thanks!Multiple .onetoc2 OneNote files in SharePoint
Hello, in SharePoint library (from Microsoft Teams) I have found multiple .onetoc2 OneNote files in a different folder in the SharePoint library. Some of them are empty (cannot be opened), some of them can be opened (but they show only the structure - mirroring the structure of one SharePoint folder) and one of them contain the list and links to all OneNote files in SharePoint Library. Any idea why and how were these documents created? Kindest regards Leon
SharePoint On Premises Farm Restoration Question:
my unofficial supervisor broke the farm: I asked him to copy over a production content database to the test SQL Server we were using for the new farm I was building out. He accidentally overwrote the SharePoint 2016 Configuration database. His remedy: he used a database snapshot to restore the database to a point in time. He also may have restored the CA server to near that same point in time. Now, we have had several issues: patches that were installed show as not installed. the farm server went from "No action required" to "Needs Installation" The Search Service App won't communicate on port 808, even though it's open. The Search Service App was re-provisioned and the same symptoms persist. I believe that our issues are the result of this "restoration method" my supervisor employed. Can someone provide some concrete reasoning why the restoration method wouldn't work? I've explained that it severs the ties between the farm features and the configuraiton database. But it would be great to have a more expansive explanation.Need help pulling dates from Calendar
We have a calendar that tracks all the meetings we have with clients. Our leadership is requests that we provide them an excel spreadsheet at the beginning of each month showing all the meetings that we had with our clients the previous month. This works well but because we have many recurring meetings, those are not showing up. I have a start time and end time for the meetings. So in order to extract the data I created a field for the month and year based off the start time. Here is my example: In May 2023, we created a recurring meeting every first Monday of each month. This is showing on our Calendars correctly, but when I pull the month and year from the start date, it is pulling May 2023 for every event. I need it to pull November 2024 for the November meeting and December 2024 for the December meeting and so on. How can I show the start and end time as the real time of the meeting?Hide Personal OneDrive Results from Search
I have received complaints from users who are becoming confused when they find their own work OneDrive files in the SharePoint search results. The either worry someone else can see their confidential files, or simply don't understand the concept of checking the URL. Is there an easy way to remove these results from the default search? Additionally, are there any reasons we should not restrict these results?
