One day, a user is getting errors for a survey when a responder changes their choice on a Choice type question.
I have looked the survey settings, there are a few columns are Choice that only have Yes or No choice.
The cause of the error is that you set the column as unique, so the user cannot select the same value of another column twice. There has another response in this survey which had selected the same value.
So just changed the “Enforce unique values” to No, the problem is solved.

Sometime you found the multiple line textbox has a scrolling bar, it is ok in the form but when printing, it only prints part of the text.
I found if you just drag and drop the value to the form without presizing the textbox. Make it multiple line, it will automatically expanding the length.

If you’re utilizing a custom master page derived from the OOB v4.master page, you’ll probably notice Re-occurring meeting workspaces begin to fail when trying to navigate between dates of said workspace. To reproduce the problem, simply create a calendar, add a re-occurring event to the calendar and choose the option to use a meeting workspace to manage the events. Click through to the workspace and then use the date navigation in the left hand side nav bar… If you haven’t implemented the fix below, you will see a JavaScript ‘g_instanceId is undefined’ or similar error.
To resolve, edit your custom masterpage and add the ‘Meetings’ Tag Prefix below the ‘Microsoft.SharePoint’ namespace import declaration as per below
<%@ Import Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint" %>
<%@ Register
Tagprefix="Meetings"
Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.Meetings"
Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>
.csharpcode, .csharpcode pre
{
font-size: small;
color: black;
font-family: consolas, “Courier New”, courier, monospace;
background-color: #ffffff;
/*white-space: pre;*/
}
.csharpcode pre { margin: 0em; }
.csharpcode .rem { color: #008000; }
.csharpcode .kwrd { color: #0000ff; }
.csharpcode .str { color: #006080; }
.csharpcode .op { color: #0000c0; }
.csharpcode .preproc { color: #cc6633; }
.csharpcode .asp { background-color: #ffff00; }
.csharpcode .html { color: #800000; }
.csharpcode .attr { color: #ff0000; }
.csharpcode .alt
{
background-color: #f4f4f4;
width: 100%;
margin: 0em;
}
.csharpcode .lnum { color: #606060; }
then, simply add the meetings ‘PropertyBag’ web control directly after the opening <body> tag:
<body scroll="no" onload="if (typeof(_spBodyOnLoadWrapper) != 'undefined') _spBodyOnLoadWrapper();" class="v4master">
<Meetings:PropertyBag ID="PropertyBag1" runat="server"/>
.csharpcode, .csharpcode pre
{
font-size: small;
color: black;
font-family: consolas, “Courier New”, courier, monospace;
background-color: #ffffff;
/*white-space: pre;*/
}
.csharpcode pre { margin: 0em; }
.csharpcode .rem { color: #008000; }
.csharpcode .kwrd { color: #0000ff; }
.csharpcode .str { color: #006080; }
.csharpcode .op { color: #0000c0; }
.csharpcode .preproc { color: #cc6633; }
.csharpcode .asp { background-color: #ffff00; }
.csharpcode .html { color: #800000; }
.csharpcode .attr { color: #ff0000; }
.csharpcode .alt
{
background-color: #f4f4f4;
width: 100%;
margin: 0em;
}
.csharpcode .lnum { color: #606060; }
You can Edit the Master Page via SharePoint Designer and set the page to custom master page.

In the recent migration project, when I restore the production db to the dev site. I found one site collection missed. After search around, I found the same site collection GUID is used in another web application.
You can use following TSQl to find the SiteGUID
use WSS_Content_Migrate SELECT SiteId AS SiteGuid, Id AS WebGuid, FullUrl AS Url, Title, Author, TimeCreated FROM dbo.Webs WHERE (ParentWebId IS NULL) use WSS_Content_dev SELECT SiteId AS SiteGuid, Id AS WebGuid, FullUrl AS Url, Title, Author, TimeCreated FROM dbo.Webs WHERE (ParentWebId IS NULL)

I got this error when run the install script
Install-SPSolution –Identity MySolution.wsp –WebApplication http://mywebapplication –GACDeployment
even my solution includes a feature whose scope is webapplication.
it will not have problem if I deploy to all web applications but I do want to only deploy to a particular web application.
After search around, I found
Right click on the project and press F4. This will open the project properties window. From there Select the Assembly Deployment type From GlobalAssemblyCache to Web Application as shown in the figure below.
then you can deploy it to the web application now.

It started that I found one managed property not being crawled, then I saw the full crawling have been running for a few days without completing. So below is the process I checked where is the problem.
You can check if the crawl did input by go to the crawl History
To make sure the FastSearch is working, here is the TechNet doc.
If the content sources stuck on “Crawling” or “Stopping”
Then on the Search 14 Services server I found the error in the event log:
Failed to connect to xxx:13391 Failed to initialize session with document engine: Unable to resolve Contentdistributor
It turns our my fast search cert is expired. So to re-install the cert and SSL, you can check Manage certificates (FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint).
then
When prompted to enter the certificate password, enter the certificate password that you supplied when you ran the post-setup configuration of FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint.

Important:
The script verifies the connection to FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint. Therefore, make sure that all servers in the FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint farm are running before you run this script.

I am not sure who design the page, you have to click the up arrow next to the property to move it up one and each time you click the arrow the page refreshes so you have to scroll back down before you can do it again and if you have to move the property by 50 positions that 50 clicks and 50 page refreshes –
Below script can change the order for you, and the later part is to display the order of the properties for reference
Add-Type -Path "c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\14\isapi\microsoft.office.server.dll"$mySiteUrl = "http://yourmysitegoeshere"$site = Get-SPSite $mySiteUrl$context = Get-SPServiceContext $site$upConfigManager = New-Object Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileConfigManager($context)$profilePropertyManager = $upConfigManager.get_ProfilePropertyManager()$upConfigManager.GetProperties().SetDisplayOrderByPropertyName("SIMCARD",5510)$upConfigManager.GetProperties().CommitDisplayOrder()$AllProperties = $upConfigManager.GetProperties()foreach($prop in $AllProperties){$DisplayName = $prop.DisplayName$DisplayOrder = $prop.DisplayOrderwrite-host $DisplayName, ";", $DisplayOrder, ";"}write-host "Finished."
