CSOM tenant API support on-premise

A while ago I tried out the CSOM tenant API on-premise with SharePoint 2013. I then thought that I wasn’t able to get it working.

Then “Vesku” published a new blog on this matter:

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vesku/archive/2015/12/04/sharepoint-tenant-csom-object-support-in-sharepoint-2013-and-2016.aspx

It appears that only a limited set of the tenant CSOM API is supported on-premise. For example, I tried to read the app catalog, but that does not work.

He writes:
All other methods of the Tenant object are not supported and will cause for exceptions due dependencies on site subscription, which typically does not exist in the on-premises deployment.
Therefore, this fragment does not work: 
# http://zimmergren.net/technical/office-365-dev-tip-getting-all-apps-from-your-tenant-app-catalog-using-the-office-365-csom-api
$coll = $tenant.GetAppInfoByName([string]::Empty)
$tenant.Context.Load($coll)
$tenant.Context.ExecuteQuery()

Resulting in the exception: 
Exception calling "ExecuteQuery" with "0" argument(s): "The method GetAppInfoByName does not exist."

But, this does work: 
$site = $tenant.GetSiteByUrl($siteUrl)
$ctx.Load($site)
$ctx.ExecuteQuery()
$site.Id

Bottom-line I managed to get the maximal achievable result on-premise after all..
Is there a DSC script available to activate the tenant API? ;)

Exploring advanced DOM interop with Blazor WebAssembly

With the establishment of WebAssembly in the browser space, JavaScript is not the only option anymore to run code in the browser. You can start building your modern web applications in any language of choice. Recently Microsoft has released the first version of Blazor WebAssembly. It enables you as a .NET developer to run .NET code through WebAssembly. Blazor also comes with a websocket based server model. You can check out Blazor on Microsoft Docs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/blazor I have been building a couple of Blazor experiments myself, of which the following two stand out: Real-time Blazor server web app. I have added a second SignalR hub to this app in order to communicate signals from one Blazor session to another.

Azure Custom Role Definitions and Assignment Scopes

Afbeelding
Working with custom Role Definitions in Azure can be a funny thing. Interestingly, when reviewing the Azure Active Directory user interface in Azure Portal you will not find a way to query all available role definitions. If you query the Roles and Administrators view you will only see administrator roles: With a PowerShell cmdlet you are able to list all. Get-AzRoleDefinition | select name | sort name | ft results in something like the following: Name ---- AcrDelete AcrImageSigner AcrPull AcrPush AcrQuarantineReader AcrQuarantineWriter API Management Service Contributor API Management Service Operator Role API Management Service Reader Role App Configuration Data Owner ... But are these really all the role definitions out there? Obviously not! This list is scoped to the subscription you are currently targeting with your current Azure Context. In order for you to try out yourself, just create a couple of role definitions with various assignment scopes. Assuming you have owne

Troubleshooting restoring a site collection

The following applies to SharePoint 2013 RTM and potentially to SharePoint 2010, but was not tested. Ever tried to backup and restore a site collection with PowerShell using a least privilege SPRestore account approach and bumped into some fatal errors? As a starter you should have followed the instructions that are documented on TechNet: Restore site collections in SharePoint 2013 http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee748655.aspx Apparently this documention is not completely sufficient, as you bumped in some fatal errors and are seeking for help. In this blog I would like to discuss two error messages and show you how to address them.
