Disable the option to check for server certificate revocation on Internet Explorer

Konstantin Vlasenko2 Comments

We are doing an extensive acceptance testing against SharePoint Online by using PowerSlim (PowerShell).
Unfortunately sometimes our automated tests are blocked by popup below:
CheckCertificatRevocation
As we truly believe that our DNS is not spoiled an we know exactly what we are looking for (pre-created data) – this verification doesn’t make any sense for us.
So we decided to disable it. I was not able to find the solution how to do this trough Windows Registry. Below is how you can do this trough Internet Explorer:

  1. Open Internet Options
  2. Go to Advanced tab
  3. Scroll down to the Security section
  4. Clear check-box below:
    DisableCertificatRevocation
  5. Restart Internet Explorer

#SharePoint 2013 #PowerShell: How to get user permissions report

Konstantin Vlasenko9 Comments 
function Get-SPPermissionsReport($web, $recursive)
{
  $web | Get-SPUser | % { New-Object PSObject -Property @{
    UserLogin = $_.UserLogin
    'Roles given explicitly' = $_.Roles
    'Roles given via groups' = $_.Groups | %{$_.Roles}
    Groups = $_.Groups
    Url = $web.Url
    }
  }
  if($recursive) { $web.Webs | % { Get-SPPermissionsReport $_ $recursive } }
}
$web = Get-SPWeb http://yoursharepoint/sites/department
Get-SPPermissionsReport $web $true | Sort-Object UserLogin | Out-GridView

Then you can apply an additional filter by user or url right in the GridView.
You can add an additional matching criteria in the GridView: e.g. match by Role/Group name

PowerShell; SharePoint 2010: Set Alternate Access Mapping

Konstantin VlasenkoLeave a comment

I need to set Alternate Access Mapping remotely as part of my automation. I can’t find how to specify PowerShell version for Invoke-Command CMDlet. So I decided to use this workaround:


Invoke-Command -computer sp2010.vlasenko.org -script {
  $command = "Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell; New-SPAlternateURL 'http://vlasenko.nmsp.org' -Zone 'Internet' -WebApplication 'SharePoint - 80'"
  PowerShell -v 2 -Command "& { $command }"
}

Bind SharePoint event receiver by PowerShell

$list = (get-spweb http://sharepoint/sites/test).lists['somelist']
$def = $list.EventReceivers.Add()
$def.Assembly = "MyReceiverAssembly, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=Neutral,PublicKeyToken=a00000000a000ce0"
$def.Class = "MyReceiverAssembly.MyReceiverClass"
$def.Type = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPEventReceiverType]::ItemAdded
$def.Name = "My ItemAdded Event Receiver";
$def.Synchronization = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPEventReceiverSynchronization]::Synchronous
$def.Update()

#PowerShell #SCOM Preserve/Update Created By/Modified By

This example shows how to use SharePoint Client Object API through PowerShell to create a list item with specific Author and Editor.
Useful if you want to preserve identities while moving the SharePoint items.

$siteUrl = "http://mysite"
$listTitle = "My List"
$user = "9;#domain\user"


cd "$installFolder"
Add-Type -Path .<PATH>\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll
$ctx = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($siteUrl)
$web = $ctx.Web
$list = $web.Lists.GetByTitle($listTitle)

$itemInfo = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListItemCreationInformation
$item = $list.AddItem($itemInfo)
$item['Title'] = "Hello World"
$item['Author'] = $user
$item['Editor'] = $user
$item.Update()
$ctx.ExecuteQuery()

The tricky part here is the $user value. It should be in the form of: {user Id in SharePoint};#{user Name}
UserId
You can automate the process of getting the user Id number by Name.
