Restore deleted Site Collection in SharePoint 2013 or 2010

* If you have deleted a site collection and you want it back again it really is quite straight forward. It’s the same process for both SharePoint 2010 and 2013.
* If you are using Office 365 then it’s all through the admin interface for SharePoint. Under the section where you manage your site collections there is a recycle bin icon on the ribbon, just go in there and restore!
* If you have SharePoint on-site fire up PowerShell on the server (make sure it’s either the Management shell or you have the SharePoint modules loaded)

Then run the following:
Get-SPDeletedSite
This will list all the deleted site collections, in this example I just have one.


Note the SiteId as we need that for the next bit, which is.
Restore-SPDeletedSite –Identity <siteId>


It will ask if you sure, so just say yes.
There is no output to say “success” but if you browse to your site it will now exist again!

SharePoint 2013 and InfoPath 2013 - Creating Web Enabled Forms

Image
In this article, you will learn how to create web enabled InfoPath forms. InfoPath is an information gathering tool and is used to create XML forms. People have always been trying to come up with a standard for creating electronic forms. Before InfoPath, companies created electronic forms in different formats. InfoPath has helped companies to adhere to a standard. Coding XML manually may not be an interesting job but creating XML forms with InfoPath has really made this job quite easier. All clients must have InfoPath installed on their machines in order to open the forms. It could be a problem for smaller companies to provide InfoPath client to all the users. What can be the solution then? Solution is to create web enabled forms that can be opened in web browser without having to install InfoPath client on user machines. Following is a step-by-step guide that will show you how to create and deploy a web enabled form: 1.Open InfoPath (Start > All Programs > Microsoft Offic...

Search stops working and Central admin Search screens error

Image
Problem: In my redundant Search farm, search falls over.  It was working, nothing appears to of changed but it suddenly stops working.  This problem has caused itself to surface in several places: 1. In  Central Admin going to "Search Administration" displays the following error message:  Search Application Topology - Unable to retrieve topology component health states. This may be because the admin component is not up and running. 2. Query and crawl stopped working. 3. Using PowerShell I can't get the status of the Search Service Application PS> $srchSSA = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication PS> Get-SPEnterpriseSearchStatus -SearchApplication $srchSSA Error: Get-SPEnterpriseSearchStatus : Failed to connect to system manager.
