SharePoint Server Subscription Edition with Entra ID
Hi All, Hope the weekend is going good. I am hoping that someone has done this, but i thought i would ask. As you all know that project online has been announced as retiring in September 2026. I have been looking at a few options and one of that is Project Server Subscription Edition. A few points to note: Project server is an application that sits on the Sharepoint Subscription Server. From the documentation - it does say we can integrate with MS Entra with Open ID However, the conflicting point is that Sharepoint Services need Active Directory Services From the documentation it also says the SQL Server or Managed Instance also requires Domain controller. In our environment we have never had DCs or AD. We are totally dependent on Entra ID. Has anyone got any further information or done any experimentations around this? I just don't have all the links with me right now, but happy to post them. We really do want to avoid AADS (DCs) and Entra DDS. Thanks in Advance.
SharePoint Server Subscription Edition Search indexing component crashing
Hello, I installed SharePoint Server Subscription Edition on Windows Server 2022 (standard with desktop experience) and the search service crawling is failing. The server has 32GB ram. The MS SQL Server 2022 runs on a separate server, on Windows Server 2022. I installed the SharePoint update from April 2024, and ran the SharePoint products configuration wizard. I already applied the 4 security policies as described in the article https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/troubleshoot/search/parser-server-failed-to-start I have these errors in the crawl log: The item could not be indexed successfully because the item failed in the indexing subsystem. ( The item could not be indexed successfully because the item failed in the indexing subsystem.; Failed to recover content group; Aborting insert of item in Link Database because it was not inserted to the Search Index.; ; SearchID = ..... ) The item could not be indexed successfully because the item failed in the indexing subsystem.

PDF Error Message
We are using SharePoint 2019 on-prem, and are having an issue with a few PDF documents that are being loaded to a document library. Attached is a screenshot for reference, but when a user tries to open the PDF, they get a "Failed to load PDF" error message. I've tried resaving the PDF, renaming the PDF, and uploading the PDF to a different library, but still get the error message. Not all PDF documents behave that way; I uploaded one last week without any issue. And the file size isn't an issue. I've checked the PDF to see if there are any security issues, but the PDF doesn't show any. Has anyone had this issue and know how to resolve it? Thanks!
OpenID Connect questions
Hi, I have successfully configured SharePoint SE to use OIDC with ADFS, but I have some questions regarding how it works. Does SharePoint use the authorization code to get an access/refresh token? It doesn't really need it, but I'd still like to know. If yes, is there a way to access that token from code somehow?
WebDav on SharePoint Subscription Edition
Hi Community, I'm currently planning a migration from an old SharePoint 2016 On-Premises environment to M365, as well as moving some content to a new SharePoint Subscription Edition farm that will be operational for a few years. My question is: Does anyone have a confirmed, official source stating that WebDav is still supported as of now? Ideally, I'm looking for any official information regarding the future of its support. I understand that WebDav might not be the protocol of the future, but we still have some use cases that need to run for another year or so. Therefore, I want to ensure we can migrate these without concerns, or if we should start planning for alternatives. Thanks in advance for your help!
Event Id :3351 Error in Sharepoint Subscription Edition
Hi, I have a 3 server Farm on top on SharePoint Subscription Edition (2 WFE and 1 APP) on tied to a Always-On Database setup. I am getting frequent 3351 errors in Event Id of each VM in the event viewer. Its indicating Login fails on Configuration Database for each of the 3 VMs (domain\Hostname$). I am not sure why this is the case as all connections are going through the configured SharePoint Service Accounts, which seems to be working fine. I am attaching screenshots from event viewer from each VM for reference. Appreciate some input on this. BR, SSP
Configuring SharePoint SE to trust third party OIDC authentication.
I am following this article to configure SharePoint SE to trust Login.gov OIDC 1.0 authentication. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/security-for-sharepoint-server/set-up-oidc-auth-in-sharepoint-server-with-msaad Following Step 3 to configure using metadata endpoint failed with the error: New-SPTrustedIdentityTokenIssuer : The security token service metadata document could not be parsed. Can SPSE work with third-party Idp other than Microsoft Entra ID to use metadata endpoint? The public key of login.gov will be rotated annually, so configuring it manually by hard coding the public key is not a viable solution.Issue with Debugging Event Receiver in SharePoint Subscription Edition
Hello everyone, I’m currently facing an issue while debugging an event receiver in SharePoint Subscription Edition. Specifically, when I attach to the w3wp process, I encounter a System.NullReferenceException in the ControlBuilder.cs file. Here’s the relevant code snippet: /// <summary>Creates the <see cref="T:System.Web.UI.ObjectPersistData" /> object for this <see cref="T:System.Web.UI.ControlBuilder" /> object.</summary> /// <returns>The <see cref="T:System.Web.UI.ObjectPersistData" /> for this <see cref="T:System.Web.UI.ControlBuilder" />.</returns> public ObjectPersistData GetObjectPersistData() { return new ObjectPersistData(this, Parser.RootBuilder.BuiltObjects); } Since this is not code I’ve written, I’m not sure why this exception is occurring. Has anyone else encountered this issue, or could someone provide insight into potential causes and solutions? Thank you for your help!Issue Adding Iframes in SharePoint Pages
Hello everyone, We are currently facing an issue when trying to add iframes to our SharePoint pages. We receive the following message: "We cannot insert this HTML code because it contains an unsecured script." We have already configured and allowed the necessary URLs in the "HTML Field Security" settings. However, the problem persists. Has anyone encountered a similar issue or can provide guidance on how to resolve this? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!SSO for Enterprise Applications with different authentication
Hi, I have a customer who is looking to implement an Intranet Portal on their data center using SharePoint Subscription Edition (SPSE). They want the portal as a single gateway/entry-point for all their enterprise applications. Hence, they are looking to implement SSO for their enterprise applications (Oracle apex, Custom Web Applications, etc.). As each application has their own authentication mechanism and protocols, would ADFS work in such a scenario? If not, what are the alternatives? Thanks, BR,
