Task Scheduler :The following error was reported: 2147944309.

 The following error was reported: 2147944309.



In my work place we had issues with our scheduled job as they failed to start.

The error we were getting wasn't helpful either, so the error value was :  2147944309.

Basically the Error Value 2147944309 tells you that the account you are using to run the batch has been locked out.

Account was Locked Out

Explanation of this error:

0n2147944309 = 0x80070775
Facility: 8007 = Win32 (it’s a “Win32″ status code)
Status: 0x775 = 0n1909

C:\>net helpmsg 1909

The referenced account is currently locked out and may not be logged on to.

Microsoft Announces August Update To Windows 8.1, But Don’t Call It Update 2



Microsoft has a number of upgrades coming for Windows 8.1 on August 12, but the company today announced in a blog post that the new features and tweaks don’t constitute an “Update 2″ to the operating system.
So what is coming in the non-Update 2 August release? Trackpad improvements, better SharePoint Online integration, and Wi-Fi API updates for external developers. Good stuff, but not on the same size-scale as Update 1.
The new code will land via Windows Update, so you won’t have to do much to snag it. Just be around.
Update 1 to Windows 8.1 was a large release, improving the boot preferences of the operating system, expanding device support, and also adding new user interface elements that made the platform far easier to use. It was big enough to warrant an “$Update_X” tag.
What Microsoft has planned for August does not. The company explains that by saying that it is committed to shipping updates more rapidly, and not saving up new code to release as a group, as with Update 1: “
“[R]ather than waiting for months and bundling together a bunch of improvements into a larger update [...] customers can expect that we’ll use our already existing monthly update process to deliver more frequent improvements[.]“
This release is somewhat notable as it underscores Microsoft’s faster release strategy for non-numbered releases, which is to say smaller, incremental updates rather than platform-wide releases. If you use a Windows machine, in other words, you can expect your machine to improve month-by-month.

Thanks to Microsoft and Techcrunch.

Could not find stored procedure ‘sp_dboption’ when Installing SharePoint Farm with SQL Server 2012

Yesterday, I was trying to install SharePoint Farm on my computer with SQL Server 2012. Everything ran smoothly until I started the SharePoint 2010 Products Configuration Wizard. Initially, the wizard asked me DB Name and other details but suddenly while it was processing it threw an error:
 
Failed to create the configuration database. An exception of type System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException was thrown. Additional exception information: Could not find stored procedure ‘sp_dboption’.

 


After a bit of reading I found that SharePoint Server 2010 needs SP1 to be installed before I could configure it with SQL Server 2012.
 
I reached to the Microsoft Knowledge Base article : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2460045 , downloaded the SharePoint Server 2010 SP1 and executed it.
 
The setup of SP1 took 5-7 minutes and then after the SP1 setup, I restarted my computer. once again I executed “SharePoint 2010 Products Configuration Wizard” at this time it worked like magic.
 
Hope this helps.
 
I will post some more articles . Keep in touch and have fun. :)

History of Microsoft SharePoint Designer


                                                         

Microsoft SharePoint Designer (SPD), formerly known as Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer, is a specialized HTML editor and web design freeware for creating or modifying Microsoft SharePoint sites, workflows and web pages. It is a part of Microsoft SharePoint family of products.
It was formerly a part of Microsoft Office 2007 family, but has never been included in any of the Microsoft Office suites

SharePoint Designer and its sister product, Microsoft Expression Web are successors of Microsoft FrontPage. While Expression Web serves as the full-featured successor to FrontPage, SharePoint Designer focuses on designing and customizing Microsoft SharePoint websites. For instance, it only includes SharePoint-specific site templates .

More Details:

SharePoint Designer 2007 was initially a commercial software product. On March 31, 2009, however, SharePoint Designer 2007 was made available as a freeware. 

On April 21, 2010, SharePoint Designer 2010 was released and made available for download.

On October 30, 2012, Microsoft released SharePoint Designer 2013 .

The following features are available only on the SharePoint 2010 Workflow platform:

    • Check list item permission levels
    • Check list item permissions

What’s New in SPD2013:

1. Platform Type: SharePoint Designer 2013 you have the option of choosing the platform, we can select SharePoint 2010 Workflow or SharePoint 2013 workflow.

Workflows – There are two kinds of Workflows that you can create in Designer.

List Workflow: Used to start a workflow developed for a specific list.

Site Workflow: Used to start a workflow developed for the site .

2. Features:

1) Workflows can be created based on the new .Net 4.x Workflow Infrastructure

2) Tight integration with Stages: - Workflows need not be in Serial, now it is state based, where your workflow can jump into any stages.

3) Visual Designer: - New design which integrates the Vision canvas right into SharePoint designer. These workflows can be created using click and drag. It supports to set the properties of every action.

4) Copy and Paste – We can Cut, Copy and Paste within the Text Based designer.

5) Loops! - Fully integrated action which you can use within all 2013 Workflows

6) Call Web Service Action - we can call Rest/HTTP web services right from within SharePoint 2013 workflows.

7) Start Workflow Actions -. We now have an action that lets you spawn up old 2010 workflows right from within a 2013 workflow. We can take advantage of any 2010 workflow functionality.

8) Packaging: - individual workflows can be packaged straight from within SPD

9) Dictionary Type Variables, we can create variables which can hold array of values.
