Changing application pool identity in SharePoint 2010

Changing application pool id in IIS is not at all recommended way of changing App pool identity in SharePoint 2010.

If you directly change App Pool Identity in IIS, SharePoint will not understand it and will be still referring to older ID.

To change the identity for an application pool, log into Central Administration and follow these steps:

1.      Go to Security and under General Security, click Configure Service Accounts.

2.      Select the application pool from the components drop-down

3.      Select the managed account that you want to use as the identity for this application pool, or register a new managed account in SharePoint 2010, using the Register a new managed account link.

4.      Click the OK button.

5.      You’ll be warned that this action requires an IIS reset on all servers, click OK.

6.      Perform iisreset /noforce on all WFE servers in the farm.

Love SharePoint….

The local farm is not accessible. Cmdlets with FeatureDependencyId are not registered.(SharePoint 2010 Powershell error)

Error:- "The local farm is not accessible. Cmdlets with FeatureDependencyId are not registered when trying to run SharePoint 2010 PowerShell"

This message would also show up if you try to run the SharePoint 2010 Managment Shell without the proper permissions, or if the account does not have the proper permissions in SQL

OR

the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell was pointing to the incorrect version or path that is invalid and not compatible.

 To Verify which version is being used

1.  Bring up SharePoint 2010 Managment Shell (ignore) the error Message
2.  Type:

$ver=$host | select version
$ver.Version

3.  If you receive something like below.  If the Major version is not on 2, then you will get this runtime error.

Major  Minor  Build  Revision
—–  —–  —–  ——–
3      0      -1     -1

4.  Close out of SharePoint 2010 Managment Shell.
5.  Go back to the SharePoint 2010 Managment Shell Shortcut, right click and select “Properties”
6.  Under the Shortcut tab, Target: section, insert ”-version 2″ into the path, like so.  Make sure its before the -NoExit.

C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\PowerShell.exe -version 2 -NoExit ” & ‘ C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\CONFIG\POWERSHELL\Registration\\sharepoint.ps1 ‘ “

7.  Click apply, and then Ok
8.  Reopen up the SharePoint 2010 Managment Shell with admin rights, and you should now no longer receive that error, you should then be able to run your scripts.

C# Delegate to perform asynchronous method calls

Paste below code in  VS 2010 console application:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace ProjectDelegateAsync
{
    class Program
    {
        public delegate void LongTimeTask_Delegate(string s);
        public delegate void LongTimeTask_Delegate1(string s);
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            LongTimeTask_Delegate d = null;
            d = new LongTimeTask_Delegate(LongTimeTask);

            IAsyncResult R = null;
            R = d.BeginInvoke("TestString", null, null); //invoking the method

             LongTimeTask_Delegate1 d1 = null;

             d1 = new LongTimeTask_Delegate1(LongTimeTask1);

             IAsyncResult R1 = null;

             R1 = d1.BeginInvoke("TestString", null, null); //invoking the method

             Console.WriteLine("last line of program");

             Console.ReadLine();

        }

        public static void LongTimeTask(string s)

        {

            for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)

            {

                Console.Write(" i:" + i);

            }

        }

        public static void LongTimeTask1(string s)

        {

            for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)

            {

                Console.Write(" jj:" + i);

            }

        }

    }

}

Output:-

Disable List Deletion sharepoint 2010

If you don’t want users to be able to delete a specific SharePoint 2010 list, you can disable list deletion using Windows PowerShell. The example below demonstrates how to disable deletion of the tasks list on a Web site:

PS > $spWeb = Get-SPWeb http://SP01.powershell.nu

PS > $spList = $spWeb.Lists["Tasks"]

PS > $spList.AllowDeletion = $false

PS > $spList.Update()

PS > $spWeb.Dispose()
