co authoring excel sharepoint 2010 / SharePoint 2013

TechNet article provides guidance for administrators to configure co-authoring for their organization. Many of these are using Windows PowerShell cmdlets.

Configure versioning for co-authoring (SharePoint Server 2010) - When multiple authors work on the same document, edits are retained on the server as document versions. This article describes how to configure document library versioning settings for co-authoring.
Configure the co-authoring versioning period (SharePoint Server 2010) - When versioning is turned on, SharePoint Server takes periodic snapshots of documents, saving them for later reference. This article describes how to configure the co-authoring versioning period.
Configure the maximum number of co-authoring authors (SharePoint Server 2010) - Administrators can limit the maximum number of authors that can co-author a document at the same time. This article describes how to configure the maximum number of co-authoring authors
Disable co-authoring (SharePoint Server 2010) - Co-authoring can also be disabled on the client side using Group Policy. This article describes how to disable co-authoring

If you have any queries / questions then please let me know, Thank you.

The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again - SharePoint 2013

SharePoint 2013 is always full of mysteries as it’s a starting time and most of the firms are doing the migration of their SharePoint 2010 environment to SP2013 platform. So it’s quite obvious it will take some time to make your farm stable!

Note:

If you find a different solution, please report it as a comment to this post. Be sure to double-verify it: undo your solution and verify that the problem comes back, then redo it and verify that the problem goes away.

Problem description:

We have recently done the migration from SP2010 -> SP2013 in our development environment and given access to limited number of high profile users and developers for the testing. While doing the testing, one of the developers has reported an incident mentioning he is facing some error while editing the list item. Further exploration reveals that we can’t add a new item also.

So bottom line, this error comes up while: Adding a new item in a list or at the time of editing the item

Error Message:

The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again.

Troubleshooting done:

1. Tried creating different list with some different template / type but same issue.

2. Checked the list in SharePoint Designer 2013 but didn't find anything relevant.

3. Checked the site settings for any customized content type but it was using default settings

4. Checked the event viewer for any critical errors but didn't not find anything

5. Checked the services console, did some try & error funda but that did the trick. Later I did some research on my “trial and error method” and understood the complete process via Microsoft articles (reference article –bottom of this page)

Resolution:

1. Go to your SharePoint Server

2. Start

3. Run

4. Type – services.msc

5. It will open the services console

6. Search for this service - SharePoint Search Host Controller

7. Restart it.

It fixed the issue and I was able to create new items as well as edit the existing items too.

Happy SharePoint once again!

Few suggestions if the above solution doesn’t work:-

1) IISRESET on SharePoint Servers

2) Restart all the SharePoint Servers

3) Enable anonymous authentication for the website in IIS.

I hope the above information works for you also! But in case of any queries/questions then please let me know. I would be more than happy to help you as well as resolves your issues, Thank you.

Help with list view threshold error

I am sure we have all encountered the list-view threshold limit of 5000 items many times. However, this is a scenario I have not encountered: We have libraries that exceed the threshold limit that the users have organized into folders. I am recommending splitting these out into different libraries to keep below the threshold but Microsoft articles advise that this is a reasonable way to manage large lists.

Here is my problem: what if I want to change the URL of the site? When I go to change the site title and URL I am hit with an error prohibiting the operation due to exceeding the 5000 item threshold. I assume that this is because SharePoint is updating each list item with the new site URL as the path for the item is a hidden metadata field.

Are we expected to never change the site name if we have large lists or am I missing something? I will get around this issue in the short-term by splitting the library but I am unsure what to tell future clients, especially since I can't find any articles on this specific issue online.

Please provide your suggestions / advice / recommendations by means of COMMENTS
