Ankit Tayal said
Hi Jean,
I have some questions for you.
1. What is the difference betwwen sanboxed solutions and farm solutions ?
2. Where are these solutions reside (which location)in Sharepoint 2010 ?
3. In which scenario we use these projects ?
Please explain in terms of your personal experience.i dont want ready made definition which are already there on internet 🙂
Regards,
Ankit Tayal
Jean Paul said
Hello Ankit,
1. Sandboxed & Farm solutions are deployable packages WSP. Sandboxed solutions have less security constraints to be deployed so a user can deploy it to a site collection.
Farm solutions are having higher constraints in deployment and thus requires SharePoint Administrators doing the job through Central Administration or PowerShell.
So why the higher constraints? It depends on the amount of capabilities contained in the solution. For example, Sandboxed solution does not allow coded workflow, application pages etc. and more. But sandboxed solution provides higher flexibility in deployment without the intervene of administrator.
2. The sandboxed solutions are uploaded to solution gallery of each site collection and hence reside in the content database. Farm solutions are residing in the file system.
3. The scenario perfectly depends on what kind of items you are going to deploy. If you are using Application Page in your project, then the Sandboxed property of project cannot be True. Make it false to convert the sandboxed solution to farm solution.
I hope your questions are clarified.. if time permits i will create an article on it.
Regards,
Jean Paul
Kanakaraju Naidu(krnaidu) said

Sujith said
Hi Jean,
i am new to sharepoint.i need to attend the interview without hands of experience in sharepoint .is it possible.
can u help me with the link to install sps 2010 on windows 7
Jean Paul said
Hello Sujith,
Hands on experience is needed to show justice towards the Job!
After all the Interview is kept to validate this.
Hands on experience can be gained through industry or self practice.
I recommend you go through practice at home and after the required knowledge is gained attend the interview.
You can use the following link to install SP on win7:

sujith said
Hi Jean,
Kindly help me with the concept of crawling and its use in sharepoint 2010.
Thanks,
Sujith
Jean Paul said
Hello Sujith,
The Crawler is a process which reads the contents and creates Indexes.
For example, if SharePoint users uploaded multiple text files. Later point of time searching the content is difficult if the search is going to read all the text files.
Instead of reading all the contents during search, the search algorithm can look only in the Index to see potential results.
Thus Indexing process helps reduce searching time,
But Indexes are not build when uploading content, the Crawler (a timer job) performs the Index creation.
You can think of it as a word document as the content, Index page as the Index information, Crawler as the process which creates Index page by reading the content. Later the user can quickly move to a content using the Index page.
Regards,
Jean Paul
Sujith said
Hi Jean,
Thanks for helping me with the concept of crawling.
i have read the topics which are mentioned below but could understand more clearly.
if u wish kindly help me with the below concepts.
1.How sharepoint works(ie)which program is used to built the application or which file is used to make it.
2.Difference between webpart and farms.
3.i have heard that sps 2010 are not widely used currently due to higher price of it license..is i t true.
4.SSP and its used
5.Windows Authentication
Thanks

Jean Paul said
Hello Sujith,

Santosh said
Hello
What is difference between webpart and visual webpart?
Jean Paul said
Hello Santhosh,
A classic web part does not have a UI, we have to write code to render the HTML.
A visual web part have a UI in the designer and allows dragging & dropping of ASP.NET controls like label, button, grid etc.
So it is easier to create forms and perform layouts.
http://crmvoyager.net/2010/11/25/sharepoint-2010-web-parts-vs-visual-web-parts/
Regards,
Jean Paul
Santosh said
Thanks Jean.
Santosh said
Which is better Sandboxed or Form?Why?
Jean Paul said
Hello Santhosh,
Sandboxed or Farm solution depends on the requirement. They both are executed in different process boundaries.
Sandboxed Solutions provides freedom of developer solution installations without intervention of Administrator.
But Sandboxed Solution is executed in a restrictred process with limited resources.
Farm solution have more privileges but more complicated installations.
Please find the video for the choice decision:

SharePoint had an evolution for the past 10 years.
The versions are like this WSS > MOSS > SharePoint 2010 > SharePoint 2013

Hello Harshal,
The sandboxed solution do not support code workflows.
But if your workflow is designer one, it should be working.
Can you please let me know the error you are facing.

Hi jean,
I have question on document library,
How can we modify a view from document library depending on their level of permissions?I have try the solution from filters,the [Me] solution,but it only applied user only so the user can see his/hers document,the same goes the the admins,it only show their document only not all document uploaded by user from the site. I want to make that admin can view/modify all the document upload by all their users.
I have deadline to catch and I’ve stuck with this problem since three weeks ago.You can e-mail me back if you did not understand what I’m trying to explain to you.
Thanks
Jean Paul said
Hello Luq,
You can achieve this in multiple ways:
1) Modify the view of the list, add filter condition for user OR administrator
Current User = [Me]
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/sharepointcustomizationlegacy/thread/c9ced029-5387-46ce-aa9b-36cb16a60ac5
2) Create a list view webpart and add code to control the filter

Jean Paul said
Hello Ranjana,
For creating web site > you can use the Site Actions > New site option.
For creating web application > you can use Central Administration > Manage web applications > New command.
I recommend you go through the fundamentals of SharePoint first, so you can play with it easily.
Use my free ebook.

Hello Ranjana,
You can install active directory on win 7 using the link:
http://snippetsandhelp.blogspot.com/2011/01/installing-active-directory-tools-under.html
But i would consider it as an extra weight for win 7 – sharepoint combination & rather prefer windows 2008 server for doing the project. (the exp. will be real then)

DEEPAK SHARMA said
Hi Jean,
I read out your Sharepoint Administrator and Development 2010 Book that was realy helpfull….Can please ans me some question as below
1.What is the Architecture of Sharepoint.?
2.In General, which type of Architecture Organization follows while Creating Sharepoint Application or site.?
Regards
DEEPAK
Jean Paul said
Hello Deepak,
Thank You for the good words & I am happy to provide any helps..
Regarding your questions please find my answers:
1) Architecture refers to the Topology, the number of servers & types
For example in a farm scenario, there would be 2 web front end servers that serves the IIS web applications, 1 search server, 1 database server etc.
This is a wide topic & we use tools to determine the topology. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/fp123594.aspx
2) Depending on the number of users & number of activities organizations following sinlge server topology or multiple server one.
The aim is to provide a higher responsive system where the hardware resources of server are not peaked out.

Jean Paul

Shreyas said
Hi Jean Paul,
Good Tutorials. Helped me a lot.
I have a query.
I have been self practicing in Sharepoint 2010 from past few months and want to have a job in the same. But some of the people here tell me that after MVC has come to market, sharepoint has lost its place.
Is it trure? Can I go ahead and look for sharepoint job? I am basically from .net background(2.0 %3.5 bit).
Jean Paul said
Thanks a lot Shreyas for the good words..
Regarding your query, I perceive SharePoint as a better career option than MVC..
MVC is just an architectural pattern & integrated with ASP.NET making it ASP.NET MVC.
Considering the amount of time to be invested for mastering both technologies..
1) MVC could be done in 1 month
2) SharePoint requires at least 3 months & upto 1 year for a good amount of experience.
As the complexity increases value too increases (provided same demand)
Example would be: Taxi Drivers are paid less although they work more than Doctors, as the effort/cost of learning in skill pays you back 🙂
(pardon my weird examples)
So if you are passionate about SharePoint & ready to enjoy challenges ahead, surely you will get better career with SharePoint & most satisfying one.
Regards,
Jean Paul
Shreyas said
Thanks a lot for your quick and informative reply.
In Sharepoint, which one will have more opurtunities? Sharepoint Admin or Sharepoint Development??
Jean Paul said
Hello Shreyas,
I prefer going for Developer as they are more than Administrators!
Plus developer job needs more aggression than Administration! So if one is having talent for Development, he should not go smaller than it.. aim higher.
I do not prefer the easy path, but go with the potential hardest path, practice it and make it easy 🙂
My theories are weird, but were highly successful till now.

Jean Paul

Is there a SharePoint 2010 Interview Questions Book Volume 2 ?
Thanks
Jean Paul said
Hello Dan,
I appreciate your interest towards the book..
The SharePoint 2010 Interview Questions content are same in both the Books.
– The SharePoint 2010 Paid Book will be priced higher than Interview Questions.

I prefer you the SharePoint 2010 Paid Book for advanced learning & confidence building through real world projects.

Mr. Paul,
As you advised, I recently purchased the second edition of your SharePoint Administrator and Development 2010 Book from LULU publishing. This version is only 263 pages and has no interview questions or a real project. It seems I paid for the free version of your book. I’m not pleased about that. Does LULU have the correct version of your book ? On Amazon, the book cover appears to be different. Is that version of your available as an ebook ?
thanks
Jean Paul said
Hello Dan,
I am really sorry for the trouble caused to you..
Did you buy a hard copy / soft copy?
If you bought hard copy, then you can return it to them.
http://connect.lulu.com/t5/Ordering/Return-Policy/ta-p/33211
The big book is the one in Amazon with 625 pages including IQ, Scenarios.
It is a hard copy one, black in color. The contents are writte in the cover page itself.

Mr. Paul,
I noticed the difference in the book cover on Amazon after I purchased the

Hi Jean,
Can this book is not available in your site & can you provide free link to download this book.
Now a days i am looking to change the job,so i need some prepartion in sharepoint 2010,this book is helpful or not.Can you provided me some chapter,so that it is meaningful or not.
Thanks
Jean Paul said
Hello Bhaskar,
The free book is available for download (230 pages)
The paid book is of 625 pages & all the content except Int Qns are available in the blog..
The price of book is for the mundane formatting work I did. I made sure it is the cheapest one in the series.. There are other SP books with 40$ above value & 50% less content than mine..
I did not add the pdf version purchasable as it leads to Piracy!
As i am an SP MVP, i need to help people in more easier ways..
So if you are serious, learn the 625 pages book from Amazon, learn interview questions, do a MS Certification, you are Fit for Job in Professional way!
Good Luck with your SharePoint Journey!

How to deploy SharePoint solutions from development environment to production environment.
Will u please guide the steps.
Jean Paul said
Hello Srinivas,
There are multiple ways of doing it..
If you wanted full structure with data, then content database copy/restore would be good idea.
If you need certain solutions to be deployed, the create WSP files & deploy to server
If you need a particular list to be deployed, then list save as template (include data) & deploy

Hi Sir,
When i deploy web parts, .WSP file is created by visual studio 2010, and that .WSP file is in the Solution Store of SharePoint development environment, now that .WSP file i have to deploy in to production Server. How to do this???
Wether we use Power Shell or copy and paste the .WSP file in to production server or another way?
Jean Paul said
Hello Srinivas,
For deploying to production server, there are 3 steps:
1. Copy wsp to production server
2. Use Add Solution powershell command
3. Use Install Solution powershell command
Once it is installed, you can activate the feature through respective site collection.

And while crreating SiteCollection In that WebApplication it is throwing a popup enter WINDOWS CREDIENTAL username and password.
In that popup i entered the credentials SHAREPOINT\TESTUSER1 and password, but it displaying blank page. Not getting Team site template(landing page).
What is the reason? How to sort out this issue?

Hello Srinivas,
For finding out the issue you can check SharePoint ULS Logs.
Regarding team site template, you create another web application & site collection with a BLANK Template to ensure error do not happen again.

What is difference between the Event Receiver vs Event handler in SharePoint 2010?
jeanpaulva said
Hello Srinivas,
Reading about Event Listener in SP 2013 I remembered your query.
Regarding the answer, I would say Event Receiver is a managed code which receive all registered events.
Event Handler is a .Net language term that can be used to define a method against an event.
Eg: button.Click += EventHandler
Event Listener is a new thing in SP 2013, which allows listening to external content type changes & updating back in SharePoint.

Thanks Jean for the update,
I have one more issue,when the user is going to edit the page from site actions—>edit page is getting the following error,but he has the full control over the site,any idea would be help full…Thanks
Error:Sys.Webforms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException:An Unexpected error has occured
jeanpaulva said
Hello Vishnu,
In real world, whenever we see such exceptions, we copy the corelation id (GUID) & go to 14 hive LOGS folder, typically it is:
E:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedWeb Server Extensions14LOGS
Then we can choose the latest log file (sorted by time) & locate the issue. You can try viewing the error there.

What will i have to do run the Event receiver on only one custom list?
jeanpaulva said
While generating event receiver class file through Visual Studio, the list instance id is saved, so – it will only fire for one list. 🙂

Hi Jean,
Hope you are doing good. Could you please help me out what will be expected out in SP administration if one have exp around 4 – 5 years. In which areas, we can probably focus on for preparing the interview?
Hope I will be in touch with you in long run 🙂
jeanpaulva said
Hello Venu,
I am good, thank you for asking, Hope you too the same.
In the sense of 5+ SP Admin, the interview questions will surely contain the following:
Site Provisioning
Permissions Management
Backup/Restore
Convert site to site collection
Site export/import
PowerShell
Word web app provisioning
Excel services configuring
More services
Migration from SP 2007 to 2010, 2010 to 2013
etc.

Venugopal said
Hi Jean,
Could you please clarify me if the backup taken from content_db of SQL can be restored in the Central administration – Also, If the backup taken from CA will be good enough to restore in SQL because I think the content will be the same and have same extensions .BAK?? If no, could u explain what will be the difference?
Thanks in advance
jeanpaulva said
Hello Venu,
The sql backup is just database content, SharePoint backup contains more information than just database, so the .bak files cannot be restored to&from.
In PowerShell, there are separate commands for backup/restore, import/export operations.

venu said
Thanks Jean for your response,
1) Will you please explain me the difference between import/export the site and backup/restore the db … Can importing the site covers the entire data including customizations (eg:-webparts, workflows etc …) , at what situations do admin will go for import/export and backup/restore?
2) If a user deletes a doc mistakenly from the site … what are the possibilities of recovering the doc irrespective of two-stage recycle bin???
jeanpaulva said
Hello Venu,
1) Backup is for a bigger scenario like farm backup including db, configuration settings. Recommended way if bakcup/restore within same environment.
Backing up should be done periodically/incrementally/geographically, so that we can recover from system failures.
Export is for a smaller requirement like moving site between servers. Recommended way in export/import for different environments. The workflows, associations, history tasks won’t be preserved here.
2) If user deletes a document, it should be in the recycle bin. Else, you can recover from the most recent backup.
Regards,
Jean Paul

Jean Paul
venu said
Hi Jean,
Could you pls tell me the procedure involved in recovering the doc from content_db?
jeanpaulva said
Use ‘Recover data from an unattached content database’ in central administration from Backup/Restore
Or
1) You can create a new site from the content_db, this is to ensure your existing production site is not hampered.
2) From the newly created site, locate the document & download it.
4) Upload the document to production site.

Jean Paul
Venugopal said
Thanks Jean.
Will you please explain me the role of crawl service and how to setup crawl rules in SP? Also, what is expected from Admin in defining the crawl rules from end users? Possibly any real time scenario will helps me a lot …
Thanks …
jeanpaulva said
Hello Dear Venu,
Crawling is the process of a timer job visiting contents of libraries, lists & stroing them for indexing purpose.. Indexing is the second part which create indexes & points to the content location. All these process helps in better & faster information retrieval through Search.
These are the basics an Administrator should know.. If you are targetting 4-5 years experience, i prefer you go through my free book & at least practice the Administration scenarios.
http://www.jeanpaulva.com/?p=3635
SharePoint is very vast & we should be happy in experimenting each scenarios.
Regards,
Jean Paul
Venugopal said
Thanks a ton Jean … Actually am having around 7yrs exp in Infrastructure services for which I nearly spent 4yrs extensively in sharepoint administration … Though my support during those time was very minimal acc (permissions, lists, backup&restore), ‘ve excelled in learning much more as I really find my interest in sharepoint … The above questions were the one which I’d attended few interviews recently and ‘ve failed to answer those 😉 … So, am now again making time in revising/practicing as I really would like to gain hands-on although am now in ‘testing’ domain ….
I really appreciate ur support and would assume the same in long run ….

You are welcome Dear Venu 🙂
Venugopal said
Hi Jean,
Could you please explain abt Webanalytics and SCOM? How as an admin we can use them on daily basis?
jeanpaulva said
Web Analytics in SharePoint 2010 helps in finding the web trends of SharePoint pages, the number of pages most visited, search reports etc. which can be used for future optimizations.
The admin can optimize using Web Analytics – Best Bets, Improve Performance, this won’t be a daily basis, but could be quarterly basis. 🙂

Shreyas said
Hi Jean,
Last week I attended Sharepoint interview and there was one question asked:
Q : How can we copy a List to another List with all its contents. If we update first list, second list should get updated.
Answers given by me : I told it can be done by saving a list as template(by checking copy content flag). But any update in first list will not get updated in second list.
I also told we can write a workflow in SP Designer to copy all the list items.
But Interviewer wanted to do it Out of the Box without SP Designer and VS2010. How is it possible??
jeanpaulva said
Out of the box > Is he asking about ‘Sync to SharePoint workspace’?
Shreyas said
I don’t know. Interviewer just asked me how to do it out of the box without using SP Designer and VS 2010 or any other external tool!!
Shreyas said
Hi Jean,
I have been asked to create a PMO site using SharePoint. Which site I have to choose? Team Site or Publishing site?
Vinay said
Hi Jean,
How can I give access to sharepoint list programmatically based on user job levels?
For Ex: I have user1 with job level 1 and user2 with job level 2. I have two lists List A and List B.
Now I want to give access to user1 only to List A where as for user2 for all Lists.
jeanpaulva said
Hello Vinay,
In this case you have to break the ‘inherited permissions’ in the list level.
Then assign permissions to user1 & user2 respectively (full control, contribute, visitor).
Then, through code impersonate the user1 & user2
Regards,
Jean Paul
Vinay said
Hi Jean,
Thanks for your quick reply.
But I want to do it programmatically b,coz tomorrow if I add the user for ex user 3 and assign him job level 1 then he should automatically have access to list 1 without anyone adding him to the site.
jeanpaulva said
Then you have to use the SPList.RoleAssignments property to add users.
Please refer the code here >> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/358647/programatically-add-user-permission-to-a-list-in-sharepoint
I wanted you to understand the owners/members/visitors groups & fullcontrol/readwrite/read permission levels

Hi Jean,
I have a list called Clients where I have items with columns Client and Project,
For Ex : Client Project
Test1 Desc1
Test2 Desc1
Test1 Desc2
Now I have another List called Requirement with few columns.
In this Requirement list, I want to bring Client and corressponding Project both in dropdowns (so that while creating requirement they can select client and its corresponding available projects) while creating new item for this list!!
How can it be done??
Regards,
Shreyas
jeanpaulva said
Hello Shreyas,
You can add a new column of type ‘lookup’ & specify the client list & property.
There you should be able to select the client name.

Jean Paul
Vinay said
Hi Jean,
I have a Requirement list with Requirement title, Client, Project, Priority and Date created as columns.
Priority is a choice column with RED/AMBER/GREEN choices.
I want to create a pie chart out of this list showing RED/AMBER/GREEN slices.
I tried using chart web part. But my Y axis always Date and also I select Requirement tile as x axis and grouped by priority, I am not getting the desired graph.
What can I do? Am I missing something?

You can view this Pie Chart example.

Hi Jean,
User has a task assigned through a Feedback Workflow from SharePoint. The link to documents and the link to “Open this Task” are from the task assignment in Outlook. When he opens the task and clicks the “Send Feedback” button, he is getting an error from Microsoft Outlook that says “This task cannot be updated at this time” – with an OK button only
I found the error in logs “This task is currently locked by a running workflow and cannot be edited” error.

Hi Jean,
Could you please explain me briefly about

2) Orphan Pages
3) How to configure search?
jeanpaulva said
Hello Venu,
1) List Throttling about settings for managing huge lists.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/speschka/archive/2009/10/27/working-with-large-lists-in-sharepoint-2010-list-throttling.aspx
2) Orphaned pages/sites occurs randomly/configuration/migration outcome. They will be site/page with no parent/child relationship. You can delete the links through navigation menu OR delete the sites through powershell/c#.
3) Configuring search is a big topic, i recommend you to read my book especially content sources, keyword, crawling areas.

Hi,
How can i display a list in Main Site which is present in a subsite out of the box??
Constraint is I can neither use SP Designer nor any custom coding nor any javascripts.
I tried Content Query webpart. I am able to show only 4 columns. I want to show all columns!!
jeanpaulva said
Hello Shreyas,
You can use the Content Query Web part, set the list of subsite, in the presentation separate fields by semicolon, for multiple column display.

Hi Jean,
I tried but it does not work. It always shows only the first column in that field.

Hello Arun,
You can use the Alerts feature along with Tasks list. It will automatically send emails & reminders to the assigned user.
If you still wanted a workflow, you can use a combination of Email, Delay activities to achieve the same.

Hi, Thanks for replay jean
I want a workflow,
I would like the site to generate an email when I assign an action items to someone.
There will be a due date, the system should send an automatic reminder 1 reminder a week, until the action item is closed.
My challenge is how to handle updates to the item when the workflow is already in progress (item changes do not affect the running workflow). Essentially, I need to cancel the workflow when an item is changed and then kickoff the new workflow.
Is it possible to create this type of workflow using SharePoint Designer 2007.
Any help/thoughts will be appreciated.
