fix for pdf and browser - run from SharePoint Management Shell

Wed, 19 Apr 2017 21:13:20 +0000

Need to run PDF in the browser? Run the following in the sharepoint powershell

$webApp = Get-SPWebApplication http://host.domain.org
If ($webApp.AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeTypes -notcontains "application/pdf")
{
Write-Host -ForegroundColor White "Adding Pdf MIME Type..."
$webApp.AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeTypes.Add("application/pdf")
$webApp.Update()
Write-Host -ForegroundColor White "Added and saved."
} Else {
Write-Host -ForegroundColor White "Pdf MIME type is already added."
}

Other commands that may fix it if the above doesn’t :

Web Application level setting: Method 2
$webApp = Get-SPWebApplication http://intranet.domain
$webApp.BrowserFileHandling = "permissive"
$webApp.update()

Site Collection level
$site = get-spsite "http://intranet.domain/sites/somesite"
foreach ( $subsite in $site.allwebs )
{
foreach ($list in $subsite.Lists)
{
  if($list.browserfilehandling -eq "Strict")
  {
   $list.browserfilehandling = "Permissive";
   $list.update();
  }
}
}

Site level ( SPWeb )
$web = Get-SPWeb "http://intranet.domain/sites/somesite/someweb"
foreach ($list in $web.Lists)
{
if($list.browserfilehandling -eq "Strict")
{
  $list.browserfilehandling = "Permissive";
  $list.update();
}
}

List Level
$web= Get-SPWeb "http://intranet.domain/sites/somesite/someweb"
$list = $web.Lists["MyList"]
if($list.browserfilehandling -eq "Strict")
{
$list.browserfilehandling = "Permissive";
$list.update();
}

Turn on anonymous access for a site

Wed, 19 Apr 2017 21:07:28 +0000

Turn on anonymous access for a site
    •    Open the site on which you want to turn on anonymous access.
    •    On the Site Actions menu, click Site Permissions.
    •    On the permissions page, click Anonymous Access.
    •    In the Anonymous Access dialog box, select the parts of your Web site that you want anonymous users to access, and then click OK.

Turn on anonymous access for a list or library that uses unique permissions
Follow these steps only if you have turned on anonymous access for the site as described in the previous procedure and have granted access to either the entire site or only lists and libraries in step 4 above.
Also, make sure the list or library you want to work with uses unique permissions instead of inheriting permissions from its parent site.

For more information about unique permissions, see Control access to a specific piece of content or, for basics, see What is uniquely secured content?

    •    Browse to the list or library that uses unique permissions for which you want to enable anonymous access.
    •    Click the List tab on the List Tools menu (or the Library tab on the Library Tools menu).
    •    Click the List Permissions (or Library Permissions) button.
    •    On the Permissions Tools menu, click Anonymous Access.
    •    In the Anonymous Access dialog box, select the permissions that you want to grant to anonymous users for this list or library, and then click OK.

Each of these pairs corresponds to a different component that can be configured for the farm.

Discussion

These are associated with the farm's Product Version Job, which by default runs daily at 12:45 AM. Compare the times of these warnings with the time that your farm's Product Version Job runs, and you'll see the association.

Solution
1. Add the farm account to the host's local administrator group.
2. Restart the SharePoint 2010 Timer service.
3. Remove the farm account from the host's local administrator group.
4. Run the farm's product Version Job.
5. Check the host's Application Log.
