Cannot delete User Profile Property in SharePoint 2013

If you run into the problem that you can’t delete properties within the User Profile Service Application, an Exception like this will be shown: To resolve the problem, grant “Full Control” permissions to the administrative Applicationpools group (WSS_WPG). Now you should be able to delete properties again.

UserProfile Service, Managed Properties are not available

“Your search encountered an error. If the problem persists, contact the portal site administrator.” Great. That would be me 🙂 I wanted to manage some properties within the User Profile Service Application. But an error message kept me from doing so. A quick look for the running SharePoint services from the Central Administration looked ok. The UPS services is up and running. Then it hit me. Even if SharePoint tells you everything is OK, it might not be the case.

SharePoint 2013 RTM Availability

With pleasure I read multiple feeds about the availability of SharePoint 2013 via MSDN 🙂 I am anxious to install that version, and see what has changed compared to the Preview. René

Using .NET 4 with SharePoint 2013

A while ago, I wrote an article about performing operations parallel with SharePoint 2010 (.NET 3.5). –> Execute code in multiple threads (even with SharePoint) Since I am not the only guy with this kind of “problems”, others are writing about SharePoint and .NET. Especially .NET 4.5 and SharePoint 2013. Stephane Eyskens hat posted a nice 6-post series about .NET within SharePoint 2013. Tuples Lazy Loading Sorted Sets Parallel.ForEach .

Getting an “Object reference not set to an instance of an object” when accessing the User Profile Service via Code

This is one of the posts which shall remind me about something. And may help others as well. Coding against the User “Profile Service Application requires Connection Permissions for the executing user account! From the beginning. I wrote a console application which leverages the User Profile Store. Every time I created a new instance of the UserProfileConfigManager class, an exception was thrown: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

What is the _layouts/15/start.aspx in SharePoint 2013

SharePoint 2013 immediately redirects you to an application page start.aspx when you call a website. If you’ve ever wondered why, keep on reading… The pictures will also look familiar to you. So what happened? Why the start.aspx? The start.aspx inherits Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.MDSStartPage. That page simply looks, if the SPContext.Current.Site.CompatibilityLevel is above 14. If not, it’ll redirect to web.Url. That is the behavior, we know from previous versions of SharePoint. Additionally it adds some caching information to the Response, and loads a JavaScript called… start.

Start / Stop SharePoint Services via PowerShell

If you have installed SharePoint on your workstation, you might want to start the services only in case of active development. Otherwise the services consume memory and other resources. The PowerShell script in this post will allow you to easily start and stop all required services for a local SharePoint Installation. It will detect if you’ve installed SharePoint 2007/WSS, SharePoint 2010 or SharePoint 2013. Just copy the code below to a file, name it StartStopSharePoint.
