SHAREPOINT 2013 – SIGN IN AS A DIFFERENT USER

In SharePoint 2013 Microsoft removed the ‘Sign in as a different user’ option.  Whilst there are a number of ways to get it back, some of them are unsupported.  My preferred method is to use the Alt Login feature by Kaboodle as it is free and easy to use.
To install the feature at a farm level follow these instructions:
1. Download the zipfile and extract the contents
2. Open the SharePoint Management Shell and issue the following command (replacing the path with your own):
Add-SPSolution -LiteralPath “E:\kaboodle.altlogin.total\kaboodle.altlogin.farm.wsp”
3. Now issue this command:
Install-SPSolution -Identity kaboodle.altlogin.farm.wsp -GACDeployment
PowerShell
The feature should now be available, and active, on the Manage Farm Features page in Central Administration.
Farm_Features
The link is now available on all sites within the farm.

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. SystemManagerLocations: net.tcp://sp2013-srch2/CD8E71/AdminComponent2/Management 4. In the "Search Administration" page within Central Admin, if I click " Content Sources " I get the error mes...
