Sharepoint deleting data and sites
Hello, We have noticed an issue that started about a year ago in which data is being deleted in Sharepoint. When looking at this data in the Recycle bin, it will show it was modified/deleted by specific Users but these user deny ever doing such a thing. It is at the point in which we believe the Sharepoint system itself is actually deleting data possibly due to a bug. It would be odd for the employees tagged in the Modified By field to have deleted it. Our data is backed up so recovering any deleted items isn't the issue. The issue is that we are trying to get Microsoft to investigate. We have submitted tickets through the MS 365 portal but they state they only work on break/fix issues. Any recommendations? I can see searching the internet this issue has come up for many others in the past.
Best Practice guide for stretched HA farm?
Hi, Im planning a SharePoint Subscription farm over 2 data centers. Should be pretty simple. Farm will consist of: dc 1: 1 spfe, 1 spapp, 1 sql dc 2: 1 spfe, 1 spapp, 1 sql Sql servers will be AlwaysOn. Im not sure how to set up the sp servers. Is there a preferred way to set it up, with how to? Our domains have 10gb connections so should be more than sufficient for stretched and HA. Can CA site be hosted from multiple servers? How are IPs/DNS/certs handled? What else do I need to get my head around? Thanks. Swan
add user to SharePoint group via PowerShell error
Hi, I'm trying to use PowerShell to add a user to an existing SharePoint group. I ran the following to connect to the SharePoint site: Connect-SPOService -Url https://site1-admin.sharepoint.com This prompts me to login, password and MFA code. Afterwards I type in the following to add a user: Add-SPOUser -Site https://site1-admin.sharepoint.com/sites/company -Group "Company Info Members" -LoginName mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons There is a SharePoint group with the name "Company Info Members", which I want to add mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons to. But I get the following error: Add-SPOUser : Unknown Error At line:1 char:1 + Add-SPOUser -Site https://site1-admin.sharepoint.com/s ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Add-SPOUser], ServerException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ServerException,Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell.AddSP OUser I was wondering what could be causing this error. I searched for the error on Copilot and it suggested I use "PnP.PowerShell". But I'm having some issues installing this app. I was wondering if there are any suggestions I could do? Thanks! JasonSharePoint Online global storage limits
Does anyone know the maximum total storage limit I can have by adding up user licenses that include the SharePoint service? I've looked at the limits page, but it only shows the maximum limit per site, not the total. Another way to ask the question is, what is the maximum storage I can get by increasing it by 10GB for each license I purchase?
Is it possible to disconnect a site from an O365 group?
I'm interested in keeping a site collection that is connected to an Office 365 group, but I want to delete the group and "disconnect" it from the site (basically the opposite of what is possible when you "groupify" a team site). Does anyone know if this is a PowerShell command?
SharePoint PnP Search Results
Hi! Does anybody know how to use the Query Template and Refinement Filters part in PnP Search Results to exlude pages from the search? I have a Knowledge Hub and created a search page. The Search Result webpart (before i do a search) shows everything in the Site - and i don't want that. Idealy i will have it blank till a Search word is entered on the Search Box, but has not been able to do that, so i was thinking if maybe using the Refinement Filters i can exlud pages that are just templates. I do have "FileType:equal("aspx") but i don't know how to say Title does not contain "Main" i tried so many different things i found online and nothing seems to work. Any clues? thanksM365 AuditLogs do not show a CascadeDelete operation
I have a few lists in SPO that are connected (call them Parent, Child1, Child2 for example) via lookup columns. I am trying to implement a delete item action in the parent list that would delete the related items in Child1, Child2 etc., that are pointing to this. The Cascade Delete operation itself works but when I am reviewing the AuditLogs for the operation, I am only seeing a ListItemViewed operation against the item in the Parent List that I am deleting. In the browser trace, I can see us making a POST to /_api/web/lists(@a1)/GetItemById(@a2)/recycle?@a1={LISTID}&@a2={ITEMID} for this action.
