Repair Broken Links Before or After a SharePoint Migration

September 6, 2022

Today I found two tools from LinkTek that I want to share.  First, the free one.  LinkReporter is a free tool that reports on broken links throughout your IT enterprise.  I suggest you run it and then decide to either fix the links manually or use a paid product to fix them for you. The […]

How to Enable “View in File Explorer” in Microsoft Edge

July 1, 2022

June 15, 2022 marked the End of Life for Internet Explorer.  Now, we are redirected to Microsoft’s Edge browser.  It appears that Edge does not support the SharePoint library feature “View in File Explorer” that many of us have come to rely upon.  Apparently, since Edge build 93, the feature is now supported but there […]

Fortunately for me, I’ve switched over to SharePoint Online.  However, for those admins who are running SharePoint Server 2019 on-premise, the recently released May 2022 Cumulative Update (CU) may make your entire left-hand navigation disappear!  Thankfully, Stefan Goßner at Microsoft has posted the issue details and the resolution on his wonderful blog. Remember: when installing […]

The SharePoint Online App Bar

April 8, 2022

Recently, Microsoft has added a nifty button in the upper-left corner of SharePoint Online (part of the Microsoft 365 package) that renders the logged-in user’s recent history for Sites, Lists, and Files, as well as recommended news and global navigation.  The App Bar button is just to the right of the Microsoft 365 “waffle” icon […]

PeoplePicker Issues with SharePoint 2019 in a DMZ

December 21, 2021

We have the task of installing SharePoint 2019 in a corporate DMZ but then connecting back behind the corporate firewall to the AD instance so our corporate users can connect to the platform via SSO.  We ran a wacky STSADM -O command that allowed us to successfully connect the PeoplePicker in Central Admin to add […]

OneDrive admin center settings are coming to the SharePoint admin center

May 10, 2021

This is good news.  For those of us who have SharePoint Online admin access but do not have admin access over the entire Microsoft 365 tenant, this will give us a little more ownership.  The post was released previously but updated today.  It may take even longer for those of us on the Government Cloud […]

Automation options for SharePoint Online

November 17, 2020

There has been, and continues to be, a lot of buzz about PowerApps in Microsoft365 (previously called Office365). As the workflow engines behind SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013 workflows are disabled and soon to be disabled (respectively) for SharePoint Online, the push is to rewrite them for SharePoint Online using PowerApps. That’s pretty much the […]

July 24, 2020

With Microsoft disabling SharePoint 2010 workflows in Microsoft365, you may find yourself hurriedly creating an inventory of all of your workflows in SharePoint Online so you can rewrite them in PowerAutomate or Nintex. It would be helpful to know the last time a workflow was ran and/or how much that workflow is being used (if […]

Export Search Results for entire Office365 tenant to CSV

June 21, 2020

I needed to perform a search of our entire tenant for a few key terms and then produce a CSV of all the search results. I was not able to find anything on the web which produced this result. The best thing I could find was a PowerShell script for searching a single site collection […]
