Error ID 72e9 Error in resolving user ‘ABC’: System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryServicesCOMException (0x8007202B): A referral was returned from the server...

When you have used PeoplePicker conrol in SharePoint 2010,  you might get below error instead of the user from Active Directory Services:

I found a solution provided at Joel Jeffery's blog with following details
We had a weird problem at one of my customers the other day. They’d built a SharePoint 2010 farm with one web application and three site collections.

In two of the site collections, the PeoplePicker control allowed the users to select the correct folks from their Active Directory. However, for one site collection, only users that already exist in the User Information List

How To : Backup and Restore in SharePoint 2010

Abstracts:
As a SharePoint Administrator, you need to set up a backup plan so that you can restore your SharePoint farm or SharePoint web applications without any hassles if a disaster happens or even to create a replica of your production environment for QA and development purposes.

Backup and restore functionality in SharePoint 2010 have matured tremendously from  previous versions. Now you can backup and restore farms as well as web applications from the Central Administration more easily. You can even take granular backups.

For example, you can take a backup of any specific site collection from the Central Administration. You can exportsite content to the file system and import it into another site.

And yes. now you don't need to setup another temporary farm to just restore some content from the backup, you can simply restore a content database on any SQL Server instance and then use the unattached content database recovery feature from Central Administration to restore the selected content.

This tip discusses the Backup and Restore of a SharePoint farm, web applications and components from the Central Administration as well as from PowerShell and the STSADM command.

Backing-up SharePoint farm from the Central Administration

Go to START -> All Programs -> Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products -> SharePoint 2010
Central Administration.


On the left side, click on the Central Administration link and in right side, in the detail pane, you will see Backup and Restore options as shown below.

You can also directly click on the Backup and Restore link in the left side to go to Backup and Restore page as shown next.

SharePoint 2010 Data : Access using .NET Client Object Model

On MSDN, a new article along with video is now available for "Accessing SharePoint 2010 Data with the .NET Client
Object Model" provided by Andrew Connell.

abstract of the original article:

With each release of Microsoft SharePoint, developers ask for  additional web services to simplify reading and writing SharePoint site  data from custom code not on the server that is running SharePoint.  Instead of building more and more web services, Microsoft introduced in  SharePoint 2010 the client object model,  which contains a familiar  subset of frequently used objects. The client object model is very  similar to the SharePoint server object model. This SharePoint Visual  How To demonstrates how to use the SharePoint 2010 .NET client object model.

Set Up Document Sets in SharePoint 2010

One of the OOTB method for managing, editing or downloading documents together in a set under a document library.

Abstracts:
But of course, they are more than that. See why:

• Document sets can share the same metadata.
• Versioning the document set instead of the separated documents.
• Initiate workflows for the whole document set.
• Document set level permission management.
• Download all documents of a document set compressed into a ZIP file.
• Customizable Welcome Page for all document set.

Sounds good, right?

PageViewer WebPart > Connect

A good link I found related to Page Viewer Webpart connection.

Normally the OOB page viewer webpart doesn't support the connection to another webpart.
But as per the implementation listed in below link, you can do the connection for that webpart.

How To: SharePoint 2010 - Configure PDF iFilter for search server 2010

abstracts:

I have recently installed and configured Search Server 2010 Express
on my VMware machine for evaluation purposes. Once I configured basic
steps to configure Search Centre site and necessary settings, I decided
to install PDF iFilter (x64). Last year, I posted similar article on how
to install and configure PDF iFilter for SharePoint 2007 (64bit), which
can be found at: http://www.mossgurus.com/adnan/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=9.
I didn't find any single decent article on Google, which clearly
explain the process of installing and configuring PDF iFilter for
SharePoint Server 2010 or Search Server 2010 Express edition. So I
decided to follow my own article and I was hoping that it should be
straight forward to install and configure PDF iFilter for SharePoint
2010. Apart from updating the registry settings required to update GUID
for .pdf, remaining steps are similar.

Follow steps below to install and configure PDF iFilter on SharePoint
Server 2010 or Search Server Express 2010.

1. Install PDF iFilter 9.0 (64 bit) from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4025
   
2. Download PDF icon file from pdf16.gif
   and copy at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server
   Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\IMAGES\
3. 
   
   Add the following entry in docIcon.xml file, which can be found at:
   C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server
   Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML
   
   

   <Mapping Key="pdf" Value="pdf16.gif" />

4. Add pdf file type on the Manage File Type page under Search Service
   Application.
5. Open registry by executing regedit on the Start
   --> Run.
6. 
   
   Navigate to the following location:
   
   

   \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office
   Server\14.0\Search\Setup\ContentIndexCommon\Filters\Extension

7. Right-click Extension, a menu will appear.
8. 
   
   Click New--> Key to create a new key for .pdf.
   See screen shot below.

SQL Server has an unsupported version 10.0.2531.0 - SharePoint 2010

in SharePoint-2010 Sometimes face the below error

Could not connect to [DATABASE_SERVER] using integrated security: SQL server at [DATABASE_SERVER] has an unsupported version 10.0.2531.0. Please refer to “http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=165761” for information on the minimum required SQL Server versions and how to download them.

Here is the solution for the error:

Abstract:

I am trying to perform a database attach upgrade to SharePoint Foundation 2010.

At this point I am trying to attach the content database to a Web application by using Windows Powershell:

Mount-SPContentDatabase -Name <DatabaseName> -DatabaseServer <ServerName> -WebApplication <URL> [-Updateuserexperience]

I am following the directions from this TechNet article: Attach databases and upgrade to SharePoint Foundation 2010.  When I go to mount the content database I am receiving this error:

Mount-SPContentDatabase : Could not connect to [DATABASE_SERVER] using integrated security: SQL server at [DATABASE_SERVER] has an unsupported version 10.0.2531.0. Please refer to “http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=165761” for information on the minimum required SQL Server versions and how to download them.

At first this did not make sense because the default SharePoint Foundation 2010 website was running just fine.  But then I realized that the default SharePoint Foundation site runs off of SQL Server Express and that I had just installed SQL Server Web Edition (since the database is greater than 4GB) and restored the database to this version of SQL Server.

Checking the documentation link above I see that SharePoint Server 2010 requires a 64-bit edition of SQL Server with the minimum required SQL Server versions as follows:

SharePoint 2010 Feature: Sandboxed Solution

SharePoint 2010 introduces new feature called Sandboxed Solutions. These sandboxed solutions are nothing but .wsp packages which has limited access to resources and runs isolated alongside other processes. Sandboxed solutions will not be able to make updates beyond the scope of the current site. You are also limited in performing farm level and web application level changes.
But Why Sandboxed Solutions?
Today, in SharePoint Server 2007, solutions are deployed in the farm level though you can activate features per web application or site. There is no proper way you can centrally manage/administer these solutions in a shared environment per web application or site. With sandboxed solutions, administrators can now allocate quotas, monitor the usage and also prevent excessive usage of resources by the solution. But yes, you are limited in the functionality what the solution can access, but as long as the solution scope is not beyond the site level, it is always better to build sandboxed solutions.
Surprisingly, Sandboxed solutions are going to play a major role in Microsoft Online Services very soon :)
Building a Sandboxed Solution
Building a Sandboxed solution is as simple as building a normal SharePoint application (Web Part, User Control etc.,).
Refer the following MSDN Article to find out more about Sandboxed Solutions. From MSDN:

The following capabilities and elements are available in sandboxed solutions:

• List definitions
  
• List instances
  
• Onet.xml
  
• WebTemplate Feature element instead of Webtemp.xml
  
• Content Types/Fields
  
• Navigation
  
• Module/files
  
• Feature callouts
  
• Web Parts derived from WebPart
  
• Event receivers
  
  
  • SPItemEventReceiver
    
  • SPListEventReceiver
    
  • SPWebEventReceiver
    
• Custom Actions
  
• Workflows
  

The following capabilities and elements are not available in sandboxed solutions:

• Custom Action groups
  
• HideCustomAction element
  
• Content Type Binding
  
• Web Application-scoped Features
  
• Farm-scoped Features
